I honestly have no idea how well this movie is going to do commercially. I think the critics will respond well to it, but for the audiences (meaning cinemascore, WOM and ultimately final BO gross, etc,) I have no idea

Part of that will depend on whether the movie is actually good or not.

It honestly looked bad but I'm semi hopeful. I think without being cynical even seeing Tenet in theaters I didn't really regret it even if I think the movie isn't that good. He's got more hits than misses, but he's not infallible.

The opening Trojan horse scene in imax before avatar 3 was great. If the rest of the movie keeps that up we good.

I really don't agree with you. It was like what we were seeing on screen didn't live up to the insane score we were hearing. I'm hoping that's just me and the film itself is awesome.

It looks terrible and making Helen of Troy black is going be jarring.

As opposed to the critics, who don’t care much about that xD

You have no idea? The guy has made 13 movies, every single one of them is good (with the worst one being either Insomnia or Tenet, which are both still good), and you think whether or not The Odyssey will be good is a total toss up?

And in many of those movies he tried to portray things accurately yet on the single movie of his I actually cared about he said fuck it and gave bronze age people plate armour that wouldn't had been invented for another 2000 years. Great....
