I will go see this. There is a LOT of history nerd chatter about the arms and armor choices, and I’m willing to over look that. The Odyssey even in Homer’s time was hazy history combined with legend so I don’t mind the “Ancient Med” visual cues for modern audiences.
 

I did get inordinately annoyed to see what looked like a clinker-built North European longship in the trailer. I looked it up and it is in fact a recreation of a Viking longship! Bugs the shit out of me, like if Jackson dropped a replica Chinese junk or Phoenician trireme into LOTR.

I don’t want to be put more pressure on it, but my expectation is this will be the best film in a generation. 

Hope you are correct, sir. Haven’t experienced The Odyssey since reading the Classics comic book a lonnnng time ago.
