The Iliad happened before the odyssey, actually. And he definitely won’t make an Iliad movie because the trojan war was already covered in the movie.

Spiderman is one of the most popular franchises ever and the most popular superhero worldwide, so it’s not that surprising. The Odyssey crossing 1 billion while not being part of a franchise is more impressive imo.

Saw it, I thought it was mediocre and really lacking, it was more like half a movie with lots of unresolved plot lines compared to the last 3 spiderman movies…

How??? The Snyder cut wasn’t anything to write home about but the theatrical cut was terribly boring.

Yup. Between Project Hail Mary, Obsession, The Odyssey, and this, it’s becoming clear that people are wanting to go to theaters more. My friend group has also started going to the cinema more this year. There was a massive drop in interest since covid but I think we’re finally bouncing back.

But hey, at least it really made you FEEL like cyclops is screaming in an enclosed small cave.

I’m very eager to see how it looks, but I doubt we’re getting a trailer until at least mid 2027.

It’s fake unfortunately, but it’s still kinda funny. I think those pictures/videos are taken with wide angle lens to exaggerate the whole thing but people have said the front row isn’t that bad.

Just as Nolan intended.

Our local IMAX had one seat available any time soon, and boy what a seat that is. Of course, it was taken soon after.

Saw it a few days ago in theaters and loved it. It’s not literally perfect but it hits in all the right ways. The last hour of the movie blew me away.

Oh yeah you’re right

I think it’s a mix of reasons, the biggest one obviously being the movie is mediocre. But I think the other big reason is that Supergirl just isn’t a franchise most people care about. People would flock to the cinema for Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, maybe even Aquaman because he’s better known. But a story about Superman’s sister running around in space? Ehhhh…

despite being made with a $23,000,000 budget.

I wouldn’t call $23M low budget lol, especially in the '90s.

In terms of low budget, I saw Obsession recently and it’s a really good example. It was shot for only $750k, and it made back over $450M.

I also want to give a shoutout to Upgrade (2018), made with a budget of 3 million but is a pretty well done sci-fi considering how limited it was.

I loved it. I can see why some people wouldn’t like it, The Odyssey as a story has always been a little disjointed and a lot of running away from A to B, but I think it was an incredible theater experience and a really good take on “What if Odysseus was actually guilty of his heroics”. @khrux@ttrpg.network did a breakdown I pretty much agree with so I’m not going to repeat the same comment, but I’ll just add some random impressions:

• It was so funny seeing Agamemnon aura farm the entire movie only to die a quick and unsatisfying death.
• Interesting that they completely cut the iconic part of the story where Odysseus tricks Cyclops and says he’s nobody.
• Circe is horrifying.
• I’ve seen some people online say the movie is sometimes slow paced/boring which is insane to me. If anything, the movie was really fast paced and some scenes didn’t leave us time to breathe - which makes total sense because the movie is already really long. But someone saying it was slow? Crazy.
• My only real complaint is the casting, it’s bothering me how many actors I recognize and it took me out a little. ESPECIALLY Jon Bernthal, he plays the exact same character every time and I just can’t help but look at him and think “what’s The Punisher doing here?”

This feels like something you’d see in a parody making fun of hollywood movies. A Christmas Carol prequel, really?

Order of Ecclesia is a great one, I played that also as part of the dominus collection a while ago! It gets easier as you go along.

I’m making my way through the modern Castlevania games, currently playing through the GBA games.

• I replayed Symphony of the Night, still an incredible game
• I finished Curse of the Moon for the first time. It’s very weird and one of the weakest in the series imo. Might make a post about it in this community because I have a lot to say about it.
• Making my way through Harmony of Dissonance, way better than CotM in almost every way. That said, it’s very easy. Maybe the easiest in the franchise I played so far.

To be fair, the trailers weren’t very flattering. I wasn’t expecting the movie to be that good either.

Genuinely how could they take 6 years making a sequel to such a popular movie? The Dark Knight trilogy all came out within 7 years!

And that’s assuming it doesn’t get delayed again which sounds likely at this point.
