Unconvincing 'lead' actor, confusing montages and boring
Outside of academia, this was just dull, dull, dull for a general cinema audience. We needed a lead actor with gravitas to carry the role.
What could have been a fantastic biopic was a bland series of underplayed scenes. many more were out of synch, or baffling.
Not even the famous Oppenheimer speech was dramatically done.
Why couldn't the general audience have had the story explained briefly at the beginning, as with the beginning of A Bridge Too Far and other, better films?
