Oppenheimer (I) (2023)
5/10
Whatever happened to Christopher Nolan!
18 November 2023
Chris Nolans is legendary for his innovation and originality. He's made films that nobody else could ever make.

Sadly, he now makes films that any competent director could make.

Oppenheimer is yet another workmanlike film any competent director could have made.

The film gets downright boring. It becomes at tedious chore.

First there was Dunkirk. A play safe, politically correct bore fest with no feel. It was a soap opera.

Tenet is completely awful. To call it a mess is to pay compliment. Have you ever seen fight scenes in a Nolan film where you can see the punches and kicks actually miss.

Tenet is shoddy and dreadful.

Oppenheimer is workmanlike and has no feel. It's a chore to get through the film. Yes its well made. But it's well made rubbish.

It's my view that Christopher Nolan has run out of ideas. He's run out of innovation. He's certainly run out of original ideas.

All directors eventually dry up.

There's even talk of Chris doing James Bond next. Yet more evidence of his descent into the mainstream and mediocrity.

I've got all his films on 4k bluray and bluray. He's one of the greats.

Oppenheimer tells me that he's joined the washed up club.

Maybe he should retire before he sinks any lower into averageness.

To be average for someone like Christopher Nolan must be the ultimate humiliation.

Please quit Chris and leave us with memories of some of the greatest films of all time.

Oppenheimer is great film.

Sadly it's only great at being totally mediocre and lifeless. It's yet another lifeless Nolan soap opera.

Maybe that is why so many seem to like it!
