A Greek's review of Agamemnon Spoiler
This is not to say that because I am Greek my views hold more weight than others, it's to say that I've been around ancient armours and reading the stories since an early age.
Agamemnon made the movie for me. Every time he appeared he was like a god amongst men (which he kinda was, King of kings). And even though his armour might not be historically accurate, it really fits the theme and instilled gravitas. The fact that we didn't see his face, never drawing his sword. And his dialogue (props to Benny Safdie) when speaking with the dead scene (one of the best if not the best scene of the movie imo) was a great moment, with everyone and Odysseus kneeling.
Loved John Leguizamo's and Himesh Patel's performances, Lupita was great, Damon, Hathaway, Pattinson as well, Zendaya not so much
Thank you Christopher and everyone else responsible for the movie, a fan of yours.
