I knew the history of Dunkirk going into the movie, however I was surprised by the lack of action in the film. Spent hours waiting for something big to happen and nothing ever does. Everything that happensthroughout the movie is very predictable. While It does draw some emotion at a few points, It doesn't give you enough context to feel attached to any character.

The fact that It has a four point higher rating from critics than Saving Private Ryan on IMDB is inexplicable. I had extremely high expectations because of this and was severely let down. It wasn't bad, but It was far from spectacular.
