Nolan is very overated in my opinion. I'll give him Momento and dark knight but he makes a lot of dross as well.
All very subjective of course, deffo overrated but I wouldn't say any of his films could be classed as dross. All at least competently made with decent cinematic elements.Nolan is very overated in my opinion. I'll give him Momento and dark knight but he makes a lot of dross as well.
This I just don't get? What's bad about it? Its not my favorite of his films. But technically its extremely competent telling the story of Dunkirk from Land, Sea and Air concurrently and intersections of that story but each using a diffrent timeframe as an air mission was far shorter than what was going on from the perspective of those on the beaches.Dunkirk is one of the worst films ever made
Maybe slightly hyperbolic but I feel it meets the dross threshold.
I just found it incredibly boring. That's it really. I found it so uninteresting that I couldn't even appreciate any other potentially good aspect of the film. Kind of like Interstellar, Inception and most of his other films. I guess, for lack of a better phrase, I'd sum up a lot of his films as style over substance. Oppenheimer too, extremely dullThis I just don't get? What's bad about it? Its not my favorite of his films.

Like I don't care if the film didn't resonate with you but just from craft standpoint its genuinely outstand the film is coherent at all, most other film makers this would be an utter mess.

Tenet's the one where I think the style over substance argument is fair. I also don't think the storytelling in the final sequence is coherent at all.I think Tenant is probably his worst film to be fair. I could t even get past the first half hour.
Yeah, felt like he just really wanted to do some reverse action scenes.Tenet's the one where I think the style over substance argument is fair. I also don't think the storytelling in the final sequence is coherent at all.
I liked the film enough but it was the first I walked out of, of his and went "that really wasn't for me" I think he wasn't too sure what he was doing beyond the concept.
But The Prestige is science fiction!I liked Tenet, but i prefer Nolan's sci-fi and super hero films more than say The Prestige and Momento.
It is but I'd say it leans more toward thriller with sci-fi elements. But that would be splitting hairs.But The Prestige is science fiction!
Yes,yes, Old Boy is a famous movie from Chan-wook's "Vengeance trilogy"Don't watch much Korean cinema but Old Boy blew my mind first time I watched it
Of course, gets peeps discussing. No right or wrong answer.These list are always very subjective
Tenet is about in the right place, The Prestige completely wrong one.
Oppenheimer is not number 1 probably mid-tier Nolan its just the one he's recognised for.
I'd argue his top 5 in no order are Memento, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar and The Prestige
6,7,8 is Batman Begins, Oppenheimer and Dunkirk
Then its Tenet, Insomnia, The Dark Knight Rises
Following is the one I've not seen.
I would say only the last hour. I thought that dragged.Oppenheimer too, extremely dull
It's not the best but it's does get better (the opposite of House of Dragon) I really didn't get the absolute hate though.I've finally started watching Lord of the Rigs: Rings of Power. I stayed away after not hearing great things, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
