LET'S GOO" whenever they blinded the poor cyclops and was angry as hell at Telemachus (he literally shouted 'DO SOMETHING' during the contest fight) & as a result my experience was heightened.
In my experience it depends on the film & the crowd. When I saw Scary Movie 6 last month? Yeah, I expected people to be pretty vocal. Same with when I saw Jackass.
He was young and clearly hyped up because of the film so i let it pass; the middle aged dude sitting in front of us though definitely turned around after the 'DO SOMETHING
' shout and glared at him but by that point we had like 20 minutes left in the film. I think the fact that he so clearly had never engaged with The Odyssey is what really made it not annoying for me - he let out the most confused 'what the fuck???' when Odysseus shoots the transformed buck on Circe's island & was so mad when the crew are like "why are you saying fuck us for??" after they eat one of Helios' cattle.
I'll always take someone vocally engaging with a film (laughing really loud, shouting at the characters, going "aw hell no" when something scary is about to happen) compared to a bunch of people just blatantly on their phones like how all the college aged teens were doing when I saw Death of Robin Hood the other week and it became apparent to them that the film wasn't gonna be Robin Hood shooting arrows at rich dudes Legolas style for 2 hours.
FWIW he wasn't insanely distracting or anything. Just blurted out a few "what the fucks", the single "let's gooo" when the suitors started dying, and the very funny "DO SOMETHING
" literally 2 scenes before Telemachus starts fighting
it surprised me when i went to go watch a movie in the bronx with the man i was dating at the time. he had dominican heritage, but identifed as black most of the time and i went with him and his family to the movie theater for the first time.
i don't remember the movie, i just remember everyone yelling at the screen and mostly in unison. lol
