Critical Drinker DESTROYS Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey | Daily Expresso #movies

Black face movie...
Cultural appropriation ...

Just because a movie is financially successful or not doesn't mark its artistic merit. Avatar made billions, and it was garbage. Other movies make little or nothing like One Battle After Another, ot lost $150 million, win Oscars, still a dud though.

​@jimbrown2688 thanks for proving me right. Stay mad okay chump

"The haters are coping" no honey, this movie don't have haters, isn't good enough for that, drinker and pretty much anyone that watched said it was fine, just a meh movie😅

​@Marco88-x6q honey do you live in the same universe as the rest of us? Prior to its release the hate is real from so many youtubers and culture warriors it's embarrassing. That's why after the amazing criticial reception and then the mega success at the box office all these haters keep moving goalpost to this day. So yes the cope is real and i love it 😂

Different stories

The Odyssey from the 90s with Armand Assante is great. Fun, exotic with a awsome cast. Not so bleak, boring and overproduced

Actually in all of his videos he said movie might end up being good. Movie was definitely not the best, it was good movie if you can ignore modern language, bleak environment, mixing of historical periods...

Tell me you just look at the thumbnails for his videos and don't actually watch them lol. He's been saying for a long time that the movie will make money and probably be decent to good....its ok to talk about negative parts of a movie and still think the movie isn't complete trash

@Lightswitch002 I mean his videos were pretty cowardly...98% of the videos were red meat and than did a quick CYA at the end to appear"fair" by saying the movie would be fine and make 800 million...BTW he got that quite wrong

@zachhoward3794 Add another billion to it. He wasn't quite wrong. He was spitting words from a galaxy far far away......

It was boring left halfway through

That is your opinion

Hahahaah Dune???? 😂😂😂

Its was horrible, you have no taste in movies.

@chucknade4507 Wonderful movie. I dont care your opinion

He literally said it would likely be a success you retard

Exactly. That’s what my dad said “he has a type. He casts big names and it’s like an event. He takes on these big stories and in the end you’re left wanting more. The sound is always terrible too.” He spends a shit load of money on needless shit. Refuses to do CGI when he could really use it in just a scene here and there. It’s a Nolan movie. Idek what else to say. It’s bland at this point as all but two of his films feel fairly identical.

It’s because he refuses to do grand scale CGI. My dad and I went opening weekend to a normal theater. Well, I snagged real IMAX 70mm tickets and my date backed out last minute so I took Dad. He said “that’s the proper way to watch the film but the film is so boring on a rewatch it makes me wish we had just saw it like this.” And that’s the issue. Nolan films for IMAX but doesn’t tell the story as needed for IMAX. A story of what should be a grand scale is reduced most often to expensive actors chatting. Whether that be in a castle, on a beach or on a boat. However the best two scenes in the film is Menelaus’s telling of the event as we see Odysseus drop the fire then open the door. Sick. Then at the end when he’s telling his wife what he did and how it changed him. That was really good. The stories of granger are smaller but are what should make the film feel big. Some actually miss what made them important.

My dad said “they changed a lot of things from the original.” Meanwhile my brother who’s not a reader or enjoyer of history loved the movie. Dad and I , who know the real story in a few different translations gave it a 6/10 as a modern Hollywood retelling.

​@Batmanrocks-i5x he does do CGI. He just doesn't prioritise it and it's for the better like that.

They didn't slaughter it. Quit overreacting.

​@InsaneJack18 so... He was backtracking to avoid things blowing up in his face like he always does.

@Another_Random_Individual I’m aware that he uses it to such a small scale it’s hardly worth noting. As for a book about larger than life Gods and monsters maybe he should use CGI more. The Gods were completely wiped away from the script. To the point Athena became a PTSD fever dream.

​@Batmanrocks-i5x he actually used a lot of CGI. It's just blended together perfectly to where it's barely noticeable. That's how Nolan movies are.

He literally never said that a single time. He said over and over again that it was probably gonna be pretty decent and it will likely make over a billions. Stop assigning things to people you know nothing about through their haters narratives

It was such a butchering and abomination of a movie. People like you is why the English speaking IQ is tumbling off a cliff. Entertained by literally anything.

@Another_Random_Individual he uses a lot of practical effects. To the point of creating the whirlpool and mixing it together. I applaud that, the story still feels small to me. It’s not a real story. It’s an old tale. It should be grand and loud in its appearance. That’s just my opinion.

@Another_Random_Individual you’ve gotta be screwing with me. lol he took a grandiose story and made it a modern interpretation of war riddled vets with PTSD. Of course he hits similar story beats but it has a different meaning to the original story and it’s modernized. It’s also extremely off kilter. We’ve got lines like “our age of bronze is collapsing” as if they’d know what time period they’re in and the castle looking weathered by a thousand years when it should be pristine. I liked the raid on Troy and I liked the cyclops although they changed it as well. Nolan went ultra realistic by forgoing the Gods and using them as examples such as wind and rain. Which didn’t land with me. Personally. I don’t see how you can call the film big when it stays away from some of the bigger stuff. I mean for f sake Calypso’s paradise is supposed to be a paradise. I guess he spent too much money on A listers but that’s crazy to me.

@Another_Random_Individual I’m glad you liked it buddy lmao

Things doofuses with zero critical thinking say.

Do you know why it was a great movie experience? Because you saw it in a cinema the way it was meant to be but Drinker here, watched on a computer. like he does most movies. This jackass watches prated cam rips of movies he reviews. This is not an accusation. Drinker himself has proven it many times.

Doofuses with zero critical thinking do think that.

To children and doofuses.

@Batmanrocks-i5x Nice made up story.

@Batmanrocks-i5x Stop lying.

@eddiek8179 Telling the truth. Lmao read the Greek version. Better yet read the liberal modern translation by Emily Wilson who also disliked the film. And in saying that I still gave the film a 6/10. Lmao

@eddiek8179 you sound like a joy. Lmao

@Batmanrocks-i5x All that bluster does not shroud your lies. If you actually knew the story and the history, you'd be singing a different tune. Your choice of the word 'liberal' reveals your real narrative here especially because that word has no relevance in this at all.

Do politics not play a role in how we view stories? Is Emily Wilson not a well known Liberal professor that wrote a popular translation of the odyssey for modern audiences? Did Emily Wilson not go on a stage and talk about the film and her issues with it giving detail? Are these same issues not prevalent in how everyone views the story as they know it? They are. It’s not the exact same story as its pieces of a story we know mixed with a different retelling. Menelaus wasn’t a wife beater. However he abuses Helen for leaving. The suitors were all sacks of shit because most of their fathers died at war and they were not raised by them. Something the film glosses over. They continue on and on beating us over the head with Zeus’s law and how they broke it BUT fail to mention when Paris broke the law first. Paris is the one that started the whole mess by taking another man’s wife. Making Odysseus nothing more than a participant in a war started by Paris. He wanted to go home. He came up with a plan to win said war started by Paris and he executed the plan brilliantly. He is not a sappy sad PTSD riddled war vet. The Gods that favored Troy were angry but they were not mad over Zeus’s law being broken. Odysseus is a man of hubris and great brilliance that got over the walls of Troy and conquered it. He’s a hero. He’s one of the stories that Alexander kept under his pillow as he conquered parts of the world. He gave zero fucks about what he did at Troy. He had one goal. Getting home. And his hubris and defiance brought upon him a humbling dose of pain from the Gods for 20 years only able to return home because Zeus deemed it so. The Gods take everything from him and his willpower and desire to return to his home is so strong he lives through the battles and returns as a beggar. Only to murder all suitors and reclaim his land. He lost his men. He lost his friends and allies. He lost 20 years, watching his son grow, being with his wife and taking care of his home. All lost. In the name of glory and power. As Achilles says in the story he would rather be alive as a lowly farmer than live in history with the glory of Troy and rule over the dead. Something the film also glosses over. As I’ve said numerous times the film isn’t bad. The odyssey itself is a great enough story that you can alter things and use your own interpretation and still come out on top. The film has great moments. The sacking of Troy and the siren song being two of mine. However it’s not the exact same story as I know it and have read it. Odysseus isn’t the same character as I know him.

What about Rogue Elements?

Saw it 4 times lol
My local IMAX extended it's run until November.
Enjoy your cope 😂

Worlds most overrated culture warrior.
ZERO impact on the industry 😂

​@TheAlmostAmazingSpidermanI'm not bothered. If you liked it, good for you. I'll stick to better epics, this was just average. And the critical drinker agrees 😊

Yeah, that “proof of concept” completely destroyed any shred of credibility in my eyes.

He's wrong about alot.

So you haven’t watched it?

​@eddiek8179 Maybe that explains why Drinker gets numerous details wrong in his reviews.

​@eddiek8179it wasnt a great movie though. It was objectively not great. I personally thought it was shit but to say it was fantastic or a masterpiece is total drivel.

Lol anti-woke

@asdf1991asdf "Anti-woke" is a completely negative thing. Being "anti-woke" means you're a bad person.

​@fluffernutter6633lol keep telling repeating the lies you need to tell yourself in order to sleep at night. You lefties love to lie.

@asdf1991asdf All you've done is reveal yourself to have shit taste in movies. Objectively? Really? Did I say it was fantastic or masterpiece? Why are you getting so triggered that people enjoyed it? To say it was shit is total drivel - in fact, your whole post is. Stop simping for the Drinker. In fact, tell me why you think it was shit - can you articulate why it was bad?

excellent tech, bad writing

Haha, amazing that a man with so little talent loves ripping other apart.

If he had the backing of these studios, it would be a different story. He was dealing with amateur everything including his own experience

​@eddiek8179triggered? Bwahahahah

@ChrisetsLove1981 cope

@TertulianoAntiescépticos and I’m sure Critical Drinker cares about your opinion

@brianlafev4261 Im sure Chris Nolan cares about his opinion

BINGOOOOO I was looking forward to rogue elements and after watching it realised he's actually full of shit

​@Quantum_MQ He never had any credibility to begin with.

Kinda what he does is critique films

​@Krunkles24yes but when you turn out shit and then decide to point out what some of the biggest directors in the world "did wrong" etc it just makes you look a Muppet

@andrewmorrison5289 I don’t even need to see the thing you’re referencing but I doubt he said it was Spielberg caliber? Because he is a good critic won’t necessarily make him a good director but it still doesn’t mean The Odyssey isn’t trash. I’m not a movie critic and also think it’s trash.😹 Do I not get an opinion either?

​@Krunkles24everyone gets an opinion, it's when make a living on knocking movies and sharing notes with your gang of giggling non entities on live streams and then, when you ask your fans to fund your movie and it's a complete piece of generic garbage, and then you blame the actors rather than your writing, it robs you of credibility.

Everyone can have an opinion, it's when you try and make a career of pointing out what's "slop" or "a disaster" and you're complete shite at the same thing it makes you a joke

@andrewmorrison5289 I don’t think it was that serious man. You can’t really just say you’re going to come out with a masterpiece and it pops up like a beautiful rose. Maybe you do see him as a clown now but me and him usually have the same taste on movies and don’t care he tried to do something and it didn’t work out. You don’t even know all the details

He’s made two of his own films and they are garboooge😂
