The fight scene at the end was not entertaining. Nolan is not natural at that kind of thing, it's as though if the scene truly interests him, he can do a great job, but if it's by the numbers, his heart isn't in it. Case in point, the Dark Knight Rises, Bane vs Batman fight 1 was outstanding, but fight 2 was weak. The Odyssey's main issues was the fight at the end dragged and was poorly choreographed IMO. I guess another example is the sacking of Troy sequence was fucking awesome.

Back to the board

Just got back from the Odyssey. Gotta say I was surprised that a Christipher Nolan movie had so many fight scenes. - By Alpo August 24, 2026 at 12:52:47 AM
- Completely agree. Long fight scenes and extended car chases absolutely bore me. - By WestSideBlue August 24, 2026 at 08:41:57 AM

    - The Tyrion successfully defending Casterly Rock battle scene was one of the good ones, though* - By ajs August 24, 2026 at 11:21:35 AM

  - Yeah, that end fight was the only part of the film that didn't work for me. Too long.* - By wingedvictory August 24, 2026 at 09:37:21 AM
