What are your predictions for the odyssey ? Will it bomb, will it flourish, will it be meh? What it has going on for it are Nolan, star studded cast, one of the greatest adventure tales ever told. On the other hand for every Dark Knight in his career, Nolan has produced a Dark Knight Rises and all of his movies are one hour longer than needed. The casting has definitely some strange and odd choices. And whether there is appetite for mythical destruction in the public after massive woke coded fantasy and other flops in the last few years remains to be seen.

Personally I will probably skip it, unless invited by some extremely hot chick. After so much culture warring - I just can't get excited for the big Hollywood productions anymore.

I think it's gonna be too heavy on the dark and brooding and too light on the action. So many of the trailer shots are the brooding looks and traveling and not enough of the action. Which might be more accurate to the story. Also people are gonna hate the story of what happens at his home while he is gone. It adds a lot of length to the story with a very long payoff time.

But it's Nolan so maybe the action will look awesome and kick lots of but.
