I'm no Nolan fanboy, I just enjoy movies. For the most part Christopher Nolan makes solid and very entertaining films, even if one or two of them are hard to follow. Hard to deny the sheer dizzy heights The Dark Knight reached, take away the superhero aspect and replace Batman with a policeman and it's still one of the best films of the 00's.

Dunkirk for me will be Nolan's stumble. It seems every big director feels the need to do a WWII film, but this doesn't offer anything. It's visually stunning but the lack of characters you can about (or even actually story) made it difficult for me to get invested in it. It's certainly a novel approach to take, especially when Nolan is expected to give audiences the big summer blockbuster and I suppose myself along with others thought we were going to get another Saving Private Ryan size film.

Is Dunkirk worth watching? Yes. Would you be missing out if you didn't see it? No, I don't think so. There's better WWII films out there, and there's better Nolan films out there.
