The scene where all the dead are talking to Odysseus was so fucking sick probably my favorite moment. Had such a cool eerie vibe to it. Sinon and Agamemnon had such great monologues too. Really had me sitting up in my seat

Tiresias looked like Baron Harkonnen drinking that nasty blood like a freak. I loved how sinister the whole thing was

I like how the trailer shows Odysseus saying let's go like Charging into battle. Where in actuality hes running away.

Incredible scene. Elliot Page killed it.

Seriously. He was freaking amazing. Other than the final retelling of Troy on the steps, it was by far the most emotional scene of the movie. I know he probably won't get any sort of nods come award season as the part was too small, but he KILLED it.

I think John and Robert should both get supporting noms for this

That shot of all the shades on the shore as they’re leaving was so sick. Desktop material

I honestly didn't like the movie on the whole, but that scene I really loved.
