Nolan's The Odyssey - Potentially could be epic or an epic flop.

Ironically, she looks quite ugly in Euphoria, exactly like the memes that show she looks so bad. While everybody around her wears over the top make up and clothes, she's the plain one.

Compare her looks in the show with how she gets primped for events.
A thousand dollar dress to upgrade a 5 to a 6.

I fucking hate it when absolute faggots start seething and crying about their golden calf of a movie being criticised. That is if they are real people commenting this. All of them are just people going “but why!!!!” In a really elaborate way, plus you are giving the website traffic by commenting anyways. None of them can actually explain why the movie is good because they deep down know it is bad and have to come up with such justifications.

I think she is holding a pickled animal penis.
 
I hadn't reached that part yet, but holy god that's ridiculouslly bad. He should be embarrassd. Hell the actor should be embarrassed.

The CAM if you want it.
I've got it, I'm trying to watch it right now actually, but yeesh. (The Punisher/Helen scar scene is about 46 min in, btw)

The opening feels like a parody of the film. That troon cannot run. And the editing is already bad.

I don't know how common this view is, but I remember seeing The Dark Knight Rises in theater, and within about 3 minutes I was getting seriously bothered by Nolan's terrible editing. This already feels the same to me. He's too rushed to just have a scene play out organically. It's flashback after flashback. Actually worse than Man of Steel's first act, which did the same shit.

Has anyone found the infamous "Fuck yeah!" scene yet?

Also why the fuck is Hollywood so obsessed nowadays with casting geriatric grannies like Charlize Theron as some irresistible sirens? She was pretty when she was younger but she hasn't been a head-turning stunner for over a decade now.
Get used to seeing her, she's only 50; they're still trying to cast Jamie Lee Curtis, Cate Blanchett, and Gina Gershon in roles like that and they're like mid-60s. Helen Mirren was still doing lead love interest roles in her late 60's. At least Angela Lansbury was allowed to become a granny and stop playing roles on sex appeal by the time she was in her mid-40s.

We'll be seeing Theron playing these roles until about 2040, depending on how bad her Ozempic face becomes. Probably with an Atomic Blonde sequel somewhere in there that ruins the first film by turning her into John Wick.

I swear there's 34859 cuts every scene because of these shitty IMAX cameras fucking up the composition. If Nolan came out and said this was a parody of modern movies and he based it off Epic Movie, I'd believe him. This is that bad.
 
I haven't seen a Nolan movie in a very long time, but I feel like I don't remember his directing being so.. bad? I'm not watching more than 10 or 15 minutes, but for a film that is over 2.5h, every scene feels too quickly paced. During dialogue shots barely last a second or two, with cuts between time periods, shot/reverse shot, and environmental shit all mixed together while the dialogue plays over it. Dialogue that just aids in making it all feel like a mess, as it really doesn't mesh with with the tone or what is on screen.

Actually, continuing to watch, maybe the editing is just fucked. There is a scene around 13min in, where the shot has her on his back, climb off, and look him in the face, but it cuts like a second worth of the scene to have him speak with no wait. I assume this isn't the cam recorder guy editing the footage?? The fuck is this??

Nolan's version should be called the Hesychia as in "Freedom from disturbance" because there would be NO Odyssey since there would never have been an Iliad but a Eirēnaios as there would be absolutely no way a war or a thousand ship were launched for such an ugly woman (I mean how they portrayed Fake Helen here)! Fuck's sake, Menelaua would be crying from the sheer joy of no longer looking at that cursed face! Come on Nolan, AT LEAAT TRY! (Yes I looked up ancient Greek words the Homeric poems would have had if named like the Illiad or Odyssey were, I just put more effort in this post than I assume this movie had when it was being made)

I scrubbed around too and I thought I was getting trolled. What are these quick edits? I can't watch it with sound right now so it was readily apparent as I watched all the jump cuts fire off in the span of a few seconds.

From my limited watch I noticed there are only 3-4 sets as well. The majority is spent inside the home, outside the home, on a beach and in a cave. The exterior shots in the forest aren't that long. The color palette is really washed out too but it could be due to the cam rip.

The diverse modern cast, poor costume design and limited sets make this look cheap and amateur which is not what Nolan wanted to present. This gritty realism can work for Batman to an extent but this movie needed magic. The audience needed to suspend their belief for an epic tale and he did not deliver. It's shoddy, an embarrassment and quite frankly boring.

Save your money and your time.
 
I was more than willing to let this movie come out and die like a fart in the wind without giving it a first glance but this might be so bad that it wraps back around to being hysterical.
 
I tried watching the first 10 minutes. I may be a simpleton that hasn't liked any Nolan since Dark Knight, but this was borderline unwatchable. It's all over the place, way too fast paced and makes it a real challenge to follow along.

Even if you like it I can pretty much guarantee it would take at least 2 viewings to fully understand what the fuck is going on.

No, it's definitely a thing. That edit I clipped there was so jarring I had to clip it, but every bit of face to face dialogue is edited with so many fucking shots. It's very bad.
 
Currently watching this in full with the boys and it's so incredibly bad on every level. Filmmaking, scripting and story, it's all fucked. It's cheap-looking and poorly-edited. And the biggest thing you'll notice is that it RUSHES. The cuts are rushed, the story is rushed, the dialogue is rushed, and it STILL only contains around 60% of the actual story and events of The Odyssey.

If anyone has questions and doesn't want to waste their time watching it, go ahead and throw them at me.
Does it have more than two colors?
 
Tried to watch it, but the first scene was Page running and I just can't... first impression made the movie a comedy for me.

Also why the fuck is Hollywood so obsessed nowadays with casting geriatric grannies like Charlize Theron as some irresistible sirens? She was pretty when she was younger but she hasn't been a head-turning stunner for over a decade now.
I think she's still pretty for her age, but there are no current young actors with those type of looks. She, at 50, still looks better than zoomer actresses.

Most people that saw Euphoria (most people with power that is) interpreted this as Zendaya being the most talented actress of the cast.
I've watched some scenes and she's absolutely not the best actress. She makes only one face:

Imagine how's gonna be for the people who have not read the book. We can follow because we know what's about. Consider that Nolan's basically saying that the movie has been adapted for idiots who would never read the actual book, so if they expect niggas to enjoy the movie, fat chance.
 
Does it have more than two colors?
Nope. This is one of the most beige and black movies I've ever seen. The most vivid color so far has been some green grass on Circe's island.
Imagine how's gonna be for the people who have not read the book. We can follow because we know what's about.
Exactly fucking right. My friends and I actually KNOW the mythology and we barely recognize what's happening.
