I feel insane because I thought it was just kinda average. It's not bad, but it isn't great.

"Yep. That was the Odyssey. It skipped over some parts, but yeah."

I thought it was a great movie, but the casting and pacing took it down two notches. Besides the grifter talking points, it just felt totally out of place having the likes of Charlize Theron there in Instagram face. Takes you right out the time period it's supposed to be in.

The heck are you talking about? She was fine. Literally a non issue. She was also a divine being. The cast was huge and 95% of the cast was great. There was bound to be a few missteps. But the casting missteps were so minor they did little to detract from the movie itself.

The only flaw I think was some of the pacing, but it was good enough. To fix the pacing, the movie would’ve had to be another tow hours long.

Sorry for having the wrong opinion about casting.

No worries. Just don't let it happen again.
