lil sketch dump - Athena, Ares, Zeus, Hades, Poseidon

Actor and comedian Zissis Roumbos said that the movie is very good and entertaining especially in its technical aspects and has Nolan’s trademark professionalism. It is very cinematic. He says Nolan gives his own perspective / interpretation in the end of the story. He also says that it is a movie not made for the Greeks or the aficionados of the Greek classics. He describes the lack of Greek contribution or Greek element in the movie as “deafening”. He flat out says that this movie is not addressed at all to the nation that inspired it. Roumbos rates it as an 8/10, when addressed to generic audiences that are neither aware nor interested in the Greek classic or the Greek civilisation.

A movie critic that I think goes by the name John Duree in social media who had been reasonably optimistic and mildly supportive towards Nolan’s choices the previous time said that the movie is indeed of an epic scale and agrees that it has very impressive technical and visual elements. He says however that he was disappointed in several scenes of the movie, hinting that Nolan might have taken plenty liberties with the plot for the worse. He said that while it’s a technically very good and enjoyable movie with a lot of spectacle, it is by no means Nolan’s best movie.
