I continue to ask, who is this even made for?, if they are going to replicate almost 100% what the movies already did with a slight dash of "modernity" 😩😩

You have nothing to add if you haven't read the book. So quiet yourself. They're not replicating the movie BUT the book. What do y'all even want. If they decide to change everything so it doesn't look similar to the movie you'll complain, if they decide to replicate the movies you'll complain, what do you actually want.

I think I can categorically say that Marvel is racist. Cos how in the freaking world is Vision getting a series? Yet wonderman is cancelled.

They're not, the wonder man series didn't do numbers that's why

Blasphemy 😭

Alien (1979)..........6.5/10

Just maybe cos I'm watching this movie several decades past its cultural zeitgeist, that's probably why it ain't looking all that to me. It must have been breathtaking at the time especially with the top tier visual effects of the film which somehow holds up to this day.

I get how Ridley Scott instantly shot up to GOAThood pedigree after delivering a film of this magnitude and sprang up a film franchise that's still bankable to this day.

It was an entertaining watch nonetheless, just not the type of mastery and storytelling I was probably looking for.

This is the first time I’m seeing a movie that has 150M budget make just 700k


I’ve the movie in my laptop but not yet see it……….. is the DW movie really bad?

The 700k is understandable. It was not a Hollywood movie but a Saudi Arabian film and most of the money actually went to construction of film sets which never normally happens if you're shooting in other countries but SA did not have any film making structure at all so they had to build from scratch

Had a tiny hand in the making of this movie. Can't believe it's premiering in TIFF 😔

BlackManta:
We're going to see more of Jaafar Jackson in Hollywood.

Happy for him. He's a good actor.

He deserves more opportunities after his amazing performance in Michael.

I can't believe no one is saying anything about an Oscar nomination anymore

Kelvinnchucks:
Reading comprehension issue or just a desperate need to fit in? It’s always your type that doesn’t know when Nigeria was amalgamated, but somehow knows how many children Poseidon had . I wouldn’t even be surprised if you didn't know either, but you’ll watch The Odyssey and drop a "10/10 masterpiece" review. Nigerians kill me, man.

Anyway, yeah... I’d much rather watch movies about "unfortunate stepmothers," whatever that’s supposed to mean.

That's probably why you'll likely ☠️ in your country not knowing anything about the outside world. I'm glad I've left that God forsaken country you're so proud of, it's a better knowledge knowing ancient literature and world history than knowing when your slavers amalgamated you

Ok I'm glad you've stated you're one of the Nigerians who know nothing about history and lore, so you can stick to The Unfortunate Stepmother movies you're used too

Kelvinnchucks:
Reviews from who?.. Nigerians that have zero knowledge of Greek mythology?.. or people who like seeing movies about imaginary giants and witches that turn people into animals?.. LMAO.. my bad.. It's the best movie of 2026.. please go watch it.

Kelvinnchucks:
The Odessy or however it's spelt. 3/10

I was almost bored to death. Again zendaya acting and I don't know her purpose in the movie. Also that punisher guy. Seems Hollywood has turned to Nollywood of the old, where jim iyke, omotola and co are in all the movies.

It's boring let's be honest. A good movie is one you'd definitely see twice, this isn't it.

There's nothing to even review, the casting is everywhere, Jason Bourne doesn't in anyway look like a leader, Tom Hollands voice doesn't suit that "era". It's a messy movie. Thank God I didn't waste 14k to watch this over hyped crap at silverbird.

I've seen reviews of this movie a lot but no one ever said it was boring. Looks like it's all on you. Maybe you're having a bad day. Sorry

Fro5t:
Shey na my time?
Anyway, I've finished watching it and I don't get the point of this your overreaction.

Yeah the movie wasn't bad at all

Movie is already in HD wtf 😂

*Won't make as much profit as Spider-Man.

It won't make as much profit and revenue and money as brand new day

armadeo:
You can only imagine what doomsday will do. ...


Earth shattering records.

It won't make as much as Spider-Man

SOZINN:
Should make that budget back in less than a week.

It'll make it before it premieres

The Odyssey (2026)....8/10


The most controversial movie of the year. I watched it over the weekend...

Was it woke? Yes
Did the use of modern language in a fictional historical epic feel off? Yes

But was it a fun watch? Absolutely Yes.

It was met with a round of applause at the end in the cinema I watched it. You can pick apart so many parts of the movie. But it was made to be a cinema flick and it delivered on that.

I won't give a more concise review until I rewatch it upon streaming because I missed the first 15 minutes of the movie. I recommend it...

Can you drop spoilers on how it was woke cos I don't even understand the meaning of the word anymore at this point. The way you all drop woke nowadays just makes the word useless

BlackManta:
As Damson Idris no get Black Panther, this is the crap he settled for

If they follow the book to the core, it'll be an amazing movie but they probably won't

SOZINN:
See projection. 🤯

It's actually insane NGL, I saw it and was shook

You're probably right - just speaking from a personal stand point. There's nothing as close to watching the movie on an iMax screen tho😭 but I can understand not everyone understands the luxury

oyaskii:
I would want to say this as politely as i can, you are speaking from a very previleged place, am in these streets and i know what is HD to people and that was pretty close to, if not it...the concept of 1080p and 4K UHD is alien to many people, they simply can't tell the difference, but in their minds, see that leak, they know they have seen "The Odyssey" (2026) and everything you thought you saw at an IMAX screen, they saw it too...the premium experience, you'd want to think is the difference, is an expensive luxury they can gladly do without.

And various leaks have been flooding the Internet since it got released, and only this warranted this exposure and long discourse... makes you wonder why 🤔

oyaskii:
Did you actually open it before it got taken down? The quality was decent enough for most people, and apparently a lot of people saw it.

In 2026 still, because of various factors, chief among them being the high cost of data in this godforsaken hell hole, 480p is premium quality to most people from these parts 😩

I saw it but it's still ass, watching that compared to watching the full 720p with the best possible audio versions spoils the whole experience of watching a Nolan film. If you decide to watch the clearer version later on, it'll just spoil the whole experience for you

oyaskii:
Pyrates are getting too slick mann...what the hell? 😩👀💀

https://x.com/i/status/2081080736690368688

There's no way I'll watch that picture quality, atrocious

The amount of videos I have watched breaking every scene of aot is frightening

Baddestguyp:
Its crazy how Eren Kruger (the Owl) basically asked Grisha and the audience if we enjoyed the view of Sergeant Gross' death...
Basically showing we are no different since he enjoyed him suffering for the violence he perpetrated...

I loved Reiner's redemption arc tho...it's the first time I've seen someone hate it.
Reiner was a victim as well, although his central driving motivation was his selfish longing to prove he was a hero...
He really struggled with the weight of his actions and even developed a separate personality to cope with it...

For Armin and Annie...it was always there from season 1, but I was indifferent as to their ship...
I understand that Armin couldn't judge Annie because he himself had killed many innocent civilians when he nuked Liberio...
That's why he said he doesn't like using the term good or bad in describing a person...
Some fans and Eren also claim his feelings developed further cos he ate Bertholdt who had feelings for Annie...

Annie also liked him cos he basically spent time talking to her while she was trapped in the crystal for 4 years when she used the Warhammer titan powers...

oyaskii:
Just look at this fraud!...just look at this fake demon 😭

I don't know if I should watch jjk or demon slayer next, what should I do

oyaskii:
The allure of the Avengers movie was always the proper build up of films, years prior, this one's build up has been quite disjointed to say the least. We are going to be doing a lot of assumptions as it stands.

They are throwing every gimmick in the book at this to make this look tough, but something ain't clicking...

I am there sha 🤷🏿‍♂️

it looks ai - the allure of cgi like this gets to me nowadays

pu7pl3:
You're the one ragebaiting yourself bro. This movie wont be remembered as much as the Dark Knight is in 2 years time
Its not close at all.
And i said its a good movie so i dont know what you're arguing about

th reason it is remembered is 2 reasons, it is a great movie but the main reasons is because the joker died and it was a pioneer of the superhero blockbusters we have today - doesn't make it a better movie than the odyssey. there are better films than the dark knight that wont be remembered as it is doesnt make it less of a film

100naira:
The Trojan war was heavily focused in this movie but one of the major protagonist had less screen time than Sinon. This is a 3 hours movie by the way.

ragebait abeg. looks like you dont understand me

100naira:
not when he died, he was a major part of the Trojan war and he got less screen time than his brother and even Sinon.

We didn't even get to see his face!

The movie is an adaptation of the Odyssey not the Iliad or the Trojan war - normally wouldn't even be a part of it

pdppower:
Messi may cancel the record at the final if he scores two goals.

Shout power😂

pu7pl3:
Now you're just glazing for no reason bruh
This movie is nowhere close to The Dark Knight or Prestige
Put it in the same teir as Oppenheimer
Memento and Dunkirk should be higher than both.

This is a flawed review, maybe we watched a totally different film. Saying the movie is NOWHERE CLOSE to the Dark Knight is insane rage bait! I literally watched the Dark Knight just yesterday in a private screening and I can't begin to understand why you believe that movie is a better made movie than the Odyssey, maybe you need a second rewatch, you want to be different or you're being nostalgic of 2008 film. Like what makes it far ahead of the Odyssey

100naira:
[b]. Agamemnon was wholly underutilized in this movie.

How was he under utilized, he died when he should have bro

pu7pl3:
Its not his best work but it was really good...mid range among his filmography lineup

Wait what?! You think this movie is mid tier Nolan? You're literally saying 7 movies of his are better than Odyssey. Ass take tbh. This is one of his top 3
1. Interstellar
2. Inception
3. The Odyssey (after second viewing)
4. The Dark Knight
5. The Prestige
6. Oppenheimer
7. Memento
8. Tenet
9. Dunkirk
10. The Batman Begins
11. Dark Knight Rises
12. Insomnia
13. Following

Helen of Wakanda

If you've watched the movie, you'd certainly know why she's black but you haven't. So don't be stupid
