Yeah, it felt like a very flat take on the material. Like, Odysseus is an archetypal trickster figure, he's supposed to be something of a smirking shit (Ulysses Everett McGill?), at least from time to time, and one who creates as many problems for himself as he solves by thinking he's the smartest guy at the agora. This trailer just looks like The Revenant meets 300. Hope the actual movie is much better.
