This project has self indulgent and pretentious written all over it, who cares about watchin probably a close to 3 hours film of a guy who created a bomb 🤷🏻♂️
After Dunkirk and Tenet it appears your lord and saviour Nolan has lost his touch, this won’t restore it.
I do. Why do you attack a movie that's quite one of a kind. Just don't watch it. I believe there's plenty of comic book movies for you to enjoy. After experimental Dunkirk and Tenet I hope this project puts Nolan back to the top. I think its the most interesting project from him since The Prestige.
No, you were definitely right - movie was straight dogwater.
Every moment reeks of Nolan in the worst way, with mechanical characters and inorganic scenes galore. It constantly struggles to justify its existence, so it has to rely on quick montage-like editing and forced dramatic music in an attempt to stay interesting.
"This scene is important, we swear. See, listen - there's annoying droning dramatic violins playing!" Over and over and over. And over.
It is very interesting how Nolan is able to pull the wool over the audience's eyes with these cheap tricks though. The best Nolan films can be stripped away of all this nonsense and a great movie remains, like Memento. Not so with this dreck.
Edit: I'm not going to remove what I said above as I think the core criticisms still stand, but after an additional viewing I will say that I was too harsh. Not quite dreck or dogwater, but decent - even with its flaws.
It's just his style, that doesn't mean it's bad, but maybe he isn't to your taste. I have always joked about his musical scores, and that they are "crescendo only", so I see what you're saying with that. He does like to add weight to scenes with music, and it isn't always deserved. But if you look at his plus and minus columns sude by side, he usually does a lot more right than wrong.
no wool over me. I really love most of his sci-fi fcitional works, but this... I will never ever watch again for the rest of my life.
I checked out at the start when he was thinking about loud sparky things... it served zero purpose for the movie other what whiz bang loud flashy thing. pointless
I feel quite the opposite, I expected a brilliant movie, but I was disappointed. Too long to start with, but also Nolan's way of filming doesn't fit well here, probably he should stick to sci-fi movies.
