What people are saying
Updated nightlyThe talk is more impressed than annoyed, but not by much. It's about Matt Damon's Odysseus trying to get home after the Trojan War, running into gods, monsters, and his own limits. The visuals are the safest bet, and the acting mostly works, with Anne Hathaway's Penelope, Robert Pattinson's Antinous, and John Leguizamo's Eumaeus landing better than the title character. Where people tap out is the story and pacing: the voyage can feel familiar and overlong, and Odysseus himself is a mixed bag. Tom Holland's Telemachus, Charlize Theron's Calypso, and Himesh Patel's Eurylochus come up, but they don't tip the verdict much.
