Chris Nolan's - The Odyssey.

I do find it annoying when historic characters are re-cast as other races. I would have as big an issue if Shaka was portrayed by a white dude as with Helen of Troy being done by an African of dark skin. It makes zero sense. Put actors in the role they are meant. When you watch a movie you want to immerse yourself in the story and the characters for the most part, not be distracted by obvious inaccuracies.
Historic characters? :unsure:
 
I'll take my own odyssey and stick to my Ben-Hur, The Fall of the Roman Empire, El Cid, Lawrence of Arabia, Quo Vadis, Spartacus etc. for my EPIC movies fix. I just prefer old movie making. Back then they didn't try to fit a certain social mold and message, it was just about creating a great movie (historically accurate or not), and without CGI of course, unlike today. 😏
 
Said it before but no epic movie imo will probably ever come close to the LOTR trilogy which I think is just perfection.

Never actually watched any of those old pre-CGI epic movies. Not yet anyway.

Although there was an old movie where John Wayne portrayed Genghis Khan - The Conqueror (1956). Apparently it was quite bad.

Wont be watching this transtesticle woke crap

It's woke? How do you know?

Even Critical Drinker thinks it's just a meh movie cause it didn't immerse him, nothing about wokeness.

Are you really sure it's woke @marine1 or just basing your statement on made up nonsense you were fed?

Having watched it I cannot say I saw any wokeness,
