Oppenheimer was rough. The whole fuckin thing about whether he was a commie or not, or just how commie he was, is it commie to not want to drop the bomb, etc. Myopic, tedious. You could cut an hour out and it would be the same movie. They didn’t even get into the “Demon Core”.
Oppenheimer is one of the few movies where I seriously considered just leaving before it even ended because I was so bored. And I wish I did because by the end of it I was pissed that I spent that much time watching it.
I must have looked at my watch about 20 times wondering when it was going to end.
I feel like most of the recent Christopher Nolan movies have been extremely disappointing. His movies now basically consist of 2-3hrs of tension building that lead to nothing.
(And that trinity test was pathetic.)
I think he’s a great director, I’ve enjoyed all of his movies except Oppenheimer and Tenet.
That's why i said recent. Tenet and Oppenheimer are both his most recent movies. The last Nolan movie I really enjoyed was Interstellar.
