It's a movie. How big a deal can it be? The better question is, will it be a success or a flop?
The problem is interference with immersion in the story. The costumes, (Batman at the siege of Troy?), the props (a Viking Longship?) and the dialogue (sounds like a surfing movie) are all going to disrupt the story immersion.
Maybe we'll get used to all of this in the first 10 minutes and then it won't matter. Or perhaps it will be so bad that audiences will leave the theater not entirely certain what they just watched. I honestly don't know. I'll tell you one thing, if the whole movie is as dismal as the trailer, then it's going to destroy tourism to Greece for decades.
I really don't understand what Nolan is aiming for here.
My original thought was that none of the online criticism was going to matter all that much, but now, I'm beginning to wonder.
Still, if I was a betting man, I would still bet on the movie making lots of money unless there are serious flaws that we're not aware of yet. The drop off after the first weekend should tell the tale.
