watched nolan's odyssey and i usually keep my reviews pretty short, so here goes
is it a good movie? neither yes nor no. it depends on the person.
if you're in it for a good experience and a beautiful movie, then you will enjoy it a lot.
if you're in it for historical/cultural accuracy and faithfulness to the original book, then you will NOT enjoy it.
i think we should stop expecting any adaptation to be 100 percent accurate at all times. you are free to criticise the movie for a myriad of reasons and it should be criticised. it's a giant movie from a famous director, there are high expectations that he has to reach.
in the end, that was a white man directing a movie about a culture and history he knows too little about to truly comprehend. it's a very pretty movie, with beautiful imagery, awesome effects, great choreography, and camera work. but it's not a good adaptation. don't expect it to be.
