The Odyssey is sitting at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics. This is the same movie that cast zero Greeks, took Greek taxpayer money, filmed in Greece, and still completely disrespected the culture and story. Yet the critics are handing out near-perfect scores like it’s some masterpiece. This is exactly why a lot of us stopped trusting these scores years ago. When something clearly takes liberties with another culture’s history and heritage, but critics still protect it with glowing reviews, it stops feeling like honest criticism and starts feeling like industry circle-jerking. Audiences will have the final say when it actually releases. Who else thinks these critic scores are becoming more and more meaningless?

The Odyssey releases on the 17th of July, and I do not want a single one of you watching it. Christopher Nolan has desecrated one of Europe’s foundational myths. This film deserves to fail. Do not give it your money!
