At least when Ridley Scott crapped all over the crusades he had the good sense to do some amazing costume design, set design, and have some amazing characters that while, horribly wrong from a historical standpoint, were very enjoyable on screen.
So far I’m not seeing anything really redeemable about this movie in the trailers.
I started Troy the other day for the fun of it, and the opening scene is Brad Pitt laying in a pile of naked Bronze Age hoes. You can bet there won’t be any scenes like that in this movie.

I think this whole film is going to be your typical hollyjew subversion flick. Scott makes some bad movies but he's not a commie bolshevik.

I dunno. Do you really think Frank Lucas was a family man who masterminds the importation of heroin better than the Mafia?

I'm glad you mentioned it. There's something I couldn't pinpoint that was really off, and I was distracted by all the obvious stuff (actors, script) that I hadn't noticed how terrible the costumes are.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a crush on Ellen Page as a teenager. What a sad fall from grace this moron has had.

So this film is just overtly a new front in the culture war. If it does really well we're going to get a thousand articles about how actually the awful shit that was losing companies money makes companies money and we should all just shut up.

And if it bombs there will be even more about how racist we all are as the reason for it sucking, and by we I mean anybody who's actually read the epic...
And also us whites, but I figured that was a given.

I think there's almost zero chance this will be anything close to a flop especially with all the premium screen lockdown.
The real question will be the legs, especially with the fierce competition. It's also three hours long and rated R. A 650 million global finish would not be a bomb but I think it would be disappointing to the bean counters.
All the culture war stuff aside, I find the costume and art direction for this movie to be pretty baffling. Like there's stuff that would not look good in any movie, let alone one with a 250 million dollar budget. Look at Bernthal's shirt / chest piece? What is that? And the Batman armor. It's so odd and doesn't even really seem like a cohesive "unique" take but simply bad work. It's some awful mix of historical, modern, and fantastical.
The costume designer has a pretty accomplished resume but pretty much all her stuff was for modern day attire. Outside of Maleficent 2 (a sequel, so she had a reference to keep to already) I don't see anything historical or fantasy based or even science fiction. I think she was out of her wheel house or Nolan had really terrible ideas that he wanted to stick to.
