\u201cMan, her acting\u2019s REALLY trying to fight that Botox,\u201d another noted.<\/p>\n
And another begged: \u201cThey really need to ban actors that have had so much Botox injections their faces are frozen as stone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Botox in Hollywood is nothing new, but it being around in 1200BCE? No, the history police weren\u2019t having any of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey had Botox in Ancient Greece?\u201d someone further questioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know they already had Botox back then, cool,\u201d another observed.<\/p>\n
And the fact-checkers kept coming.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew the Ancient Greeks had invented the medicine, the philosophy and theatre, among other stuff, but I had no idea that they also had invented Botox. Wow,\u201d someone mocked.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, Greeks wore masks to act but not like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, other fans did their best to turn the conversation around.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan we just stop discussing actress\u2019s faces in this way. There are far more male stars who\u2019ve had work done yet not a word is ever said,\u201d someone wrote in another X thread.<\/p>\n
Plenty also agreed that despite how much movement was coming from her face, Hathaway was superb casting.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnne Hathaway as Penelope? That\u2019s pure elegance. The queen of Ithaca has arrived,\u201d one person applauded.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnne Hathaway as Penelope looks absolutely epic already! Nolan\u2019s Odyssey is gonna be legendary,\u201d another agreed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnne might just win an award for this film.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fans were treated to a first look of the blockbuster back in December last year.<\/p>\n
Anne takes on the role of Penelope in the classic tale.<\/p>\n
It was the first time we saw glimpses of the star-studded supporting cast to Damon\u2019s Odysseus and Hathaway\u2019s Penelope \u2013 including Zendaya (Greek goddess Athena), Tom Holland (Odysseus\u2019 son Telemachus), Lupita Nyong\u2019o (Helen of Troy), Robert Pattinson (Antinous) and Charlize Theron (Calypso).<\/p>\n
Based on the legendary tale, Odysseus finds himself shipwrecked with his army and fighting to make his way home after the Trojan War.<\/p>\n
His journey spans land and sea and into mysterious caves, where he comes face-to-face with mythical creatures including the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens and Circe.<\/p>\n
The Odyssey hits cinemas July 17.<\/p>\n
