Nolan is by far one of THE most overrated directors. He has problem telling a coherent story.

Sure he is a master of special practical effects, but that is defeated by his illogical stories.

The dialogue was so boring. I am so tired of writers that make everything written so on the nose. Everything is so devoid of the daily minutia, emotional exchanges, but instead focus on tedious exposition.

There was way too much flashy edits and effects, instead of letting the story just unfold in an organic way, they had to cut every 30 seconds, back and forth etc. Probably because it was the only way to save an even worse movie.

I guess Nolan's praise comes from the fact that movies are in such a poor state and have been for 2 decades.

I literally checked out after 2 minutes and stayed checked out for the rest of the film.

Oppenheimer was introduced like 12 times during the first 15 minutes by different characters. Totally unnecessary. And then the annoying music. Why does he always have wall-to-wall music?

I think Nolan is more after cinematic poetry rather than comprehensive narrative.

And then the acting was just so bad for the most part.
