Christopher Nolan has achieved a career record with his brand new movie, The Odyssey. The director, whose credits include the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception and Oppenheimer, has just released his version of Homer’s poem, and it’s become one of the best-reviewed films of the year, Nolan’s new release is so revered that it sits as his highest-ranked film on review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, surpassing his most acclaimed movies The Dark Knight, Interstellar and The Prestige. At the time of writing, The Odyssey has a score of 95 per cent, which is one per cent more than indie psychological drama Memento (2000), Batman Begins (2005) and its 2008 sequel The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger. The Odyssey debuted with 97 per cent, and has dropped two per cent as more reviews from verified users rolled in – so it could dip below those three films. But its strong showing just days after reviews started rolling in is evidence that it’ll remain one of Nolan’s most acclaimed films.
