Marginal war movie, a tad better than Dunkirk.


We all know by now that Dunkirk was a terrible movie, well this one is not quite that bad but is forgettable. The only interesting thing about this movie was the camera work and that quickly wore off about half way through. Its basically a single-camera movie filmed at eye level.

Was hoping for a spectacular modern representation of WWI, guess that will never happen.

Save your money and just wait for it at Redbox.

Redbox? That sounds like it costs money.

$1.75 plus tax.

Thanks for the advice. I'll watch it when it's a rainy afternoon when it's on a cheaper medium.

No problemo. Here to help.

>Dunkirk was a terrible movie

That is a factually inaccurate statement. By any objective measure (e.g. box office, screenplay, direction, cinematography), Dunkirk was a success. Because you don't like it doesn't make it a bad movie.

reply

Oh yeah, a success(!) Depicting stuff that never happened, like soldiers standing in lines to the sea to board non-existent boats, ideally suited to be mowed down by German planes. Give me a fvcking break.

If we are going by facts then factually speaking Transformers: Age of Extinction is a better movie than Dunkirk. As you can see by the facts below.

Transformers: Age of Extinction
DOMESTIC
$245,439,076
INTERNATIONAL
$858,614,996
WORLDWIDE
$1,104,054,072


Dunkirk
DOMESTIC
$189,740,665
INTERNATIONAL
$337,200,000
WORLDWIDE
$526,940,665

As you can see by the numbers and the facts, Transformers made apprx. $500 million more than Dunkirk. Transformers also out grossed Dunkirk in the Domestic market. So by the objective measurement, Transformers: Age of Extinction was a success and a much better movie than Dunkirk.

reply

Dude fact check.. You say Transformers Age made $500 BILLION more than Dunkirk.

Just the facts Bubba. $500 BILLION is a quite high number.

What is it Bubba?

reply

Yes, $500 million, Transformers 4 is a better movie than 1917. Just the facts and only the facts.

reply

I think we all know by now that a box office success does not a good movie make.

reply

Some people think it does.

reply

Dunkirk was a piece of shit (the only time Nolan has let me down), I did think 1917 was a lot better though.

reply

Yeah, "Dunkirk" was a bore, a real letdown after all the hype.

reply

In 1917 there are actual characters that I mildly give a shit about, you cannot say the same for Dunkirk.

reply

The single shot got old about at the 30 minute mark, thats when I lost interest. About 5 minutes into Dunkirk I knew it was going to be a terrible movie, at least we still have the masterpiece of Interstellar.

reply

Dunkirk and 1917 are both terrible.

reply

Dunkirk was a masterpiece.

1917 was okay, but on a much smaller scale.

reply

Interstellar is awesome but Dunkirk is a total turdfest.
