Christopher Nolan's Greek-free adaptation of Homer's Greek epic, 'The Odyssey,' hits theaters today. Promotions for this film are everywhere, including in banner ads on our apps. But the film has met with controversy and criticism over the casting choices, the adaptation, and first looks at some of the film.
Now some of the stars made up a rap to promote the film, and it's just as bad as you'd think.

We hope they were paid well for this.
If I had had interest in watching this movie, which I did not, I would no longer. This is “celebrities singing Imagine on Zoom” levels of bad.

We were hoping to forget that.
Remember when this didn’t exist? Yeah, those were good times.

Yes, they were.
Guys, stop. I've already decided not to see it. https://t.co/qVVVCIHsO5

This may be the final nail in the coffin for those who were on the fence about seeing it.
Everything I've heard about this Odyssey movie has been against my will. https://t.co/31Nyran2SU

Some are saying it's how the Greeks would have recited 'The Odyssey' when it was written, which would be the closest this film got to Greek representation.
