They need to get out their feelings it’s doing numbers."Others embraced the idea; one user believed that Mel Gibson would be the best choice to direct it:"Awesome. This is getting interesting. Who else thinks Mel Gibson does a thorough and an better job with it?"Another user said:"Yes. Make it happen. Mel Gibson did an amazing job with Braveheart. If anyone can create a great historical epic, it’s him."A user got excited with the idea and commented:"Hell yeah! Mel Gibson doing a historically accurate Odyssey with Elon's backing? Homer himself would hit like. Let's make it happen Greek dialogue, real armor, zero Hollywood nonsense.

He then sided with tweets saying that Nolan chose certain casting decisions to appeal to awards voters and amplified criticism of Elliot Page's role in the picture.Despite the criticism, The Odyssey has become a big commercial and critical success. The picture grossed $264 million worldwide in its opening weekend and has received great appreciation from reviewers and audiences, with some calling it Nolan's best work.Stay tuned to Soap Central for more information.
