if it wasent a christopher nolan film everyone would have bashed it


this is NOT a good movie at all. there is bearly any dialouge and no actual charecters. this is not a real stroy but more of a history channel documentry. the akward silences. like soldiers who are friends and serve together would be that quiet while staying on a beach for weeks. the charecters dosent even have names. nor any personality. there is less dialouge in this movie then a quiet film. this is a modern quiet film. its terrible and boring. instead of re-creating a real soldiers units who actually talks to each other and share expiriences he choosed this crappy atitude. why? because its less hard to make just visuals rather then an actual story and hes probably so smug because he knows people worship him so he can make bad movies and get away with it. this is nolan.

this movie is garbage. this is the truth

agreed

No, I don't think so. I loved it and I do not like Nolan. I found Inception and the Batman trilogy competent at best. His name was not an attraction to me.

Ah, typical. I found Nolan's Batman forced. Inception I found opaque and pretentious.

Yes, I am a Marvel fan. I'm also a fan of such things as Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, Gaslight, Clue, Princess Bride, The Universal Monster films, Star Trek, Star Wars, Gone with the Wind, and many others. I'm not married to just one type of film.

Now, the fact you like Batman and Inception is perfectly fine. De Gustibus non disputandem est. Your preferences aren't wrong. Neither are mine. We all like different things.

But is shows arrogance to believe that other people's likes and dislikes are incorrect because they disagree with yours.

You were the the one who declared my preference for Dunkirk indicated I like my movies to have loud noises and then declared I must be a Marvel fan with the obvious intent of denigrating my taste in films. So please don't suddenly claim you were restricting your concern to only three films.

And again its a matter of taste. As I mentioned, I thought Inception was was pretentious. I though Nolan's Batman films were competent at best, but overall forced. That's my opinion and you don't need to share it.

However, I hardly find it it mind boggling that I preferred Dunkirk, which I thought was done with style and covered a seldom mentioned incident of early World War II over an film I found pretentious and three I found competent, but forced.

I am not a Nolan fan. I don't hate his movies, I like them and I liked this one. Not the greatest movie of all time like his fans say, but it is one of the better summer flicks so far. Baby Driver was my favorite.

I agree somewhat. The Batman fans who suck Nolan all day definitely went and saw this. It was an ok movie but yeah the dialogue sucked and the music didn't stop. ...average film at best...

Come back after puberty.

This really is a very average movie at best. Nolan went all out on trying to do this movie practically. Visually its not impressive and lack sense of scale. It would not get the praise it does if not for Nolan directing this.

Please--this movie is VERY impressive visually--with a weird,sparse soundtrack----and it's an impressive achievement for a film and for Nolan. Basically the film dosen't spell out a lot of things for you, so it's better to brush up on the actual historical event before going to see it. I liked the fact that it wasn't your typical war film---you fell like you're actually in the middle of what the soldiers are all going through, one disaster after another. One notable scene in which the soldiers are safe in the hold of a ship, then literally the next moment the ship gets hit and they're underwater--that was one heck of a suspenseful scene, for real.

The movie looked like a high budget documentary film on PBS.

I deplore Batmans.

Inception and Interstellar are pretentious twaddle.

...and I couldn't disagree more about Dunkirk.
