Took me a couple days to collect my thoughts on this movie.<\/p>\n

Out of the theatre reaction, I really liked this movie, a lot.\u00a0 Did I love it?<\/p>\n

A few days later I’d say yes, but initially it stressed me out as much as Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning<\/em> did.\u00a0 Othe than saying that the Cyclops really freaked me out, there’s not much more I can say without spoilers.<\/p>\n

But can one really spoil a 2,700 year old story?\u00a0 I mean, I can say the Circe scene freaked me out; heck, the mere mention of her name and knowing her part in the story had me tensing up.<\/p>\n

It was like watching Apollo 13<\/em>, you know how the story ends, yet you’re caught up in how it plays out on screen.<\/p>\n

And watching the press interviews after the fact, I can see another reason I love this movie is the cast.<\/p>\n

I didn’t recognize John Leguizamo even after I heard and recognized his voice.<\/p>\n

I had trouble placing where I’d seen Himesh Patel before this movie.<\/p>\n

Tom Holland, Brad Pitt, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattenson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, all very much favorites of mine from one project or another, or multiples.<\/p>\n

I don’t plan on watching this in the theatre again, but I’m looking forward to watching on streaming, and I hope the IMAX aspect ratio will be available to watch, because damn.<\/p>\n

Highly recommended, and try to see it in IMAX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
