    I saw Openheimer last night and it suuuuuucked. I mean there were a few ok sequences, but def not worth 3 hours of my life.

    Proof again that Nolan should stick to fiction.

      Oh yeah? I found it really compelling and well done, but as with most biopics the pacing is definitely a bit slower than most dramas. For being 3 hours I thought the time flew by but the third act did tend to drag a little. Visually I thought it was beautiful with a lot of nice stylistic touches and I was blown away by the acting. (Edited a couple typos)

        I felt like every time it was picking up steam it would just stop being fun. It had no self-awareness.

        It seemed like it could’ve been a great 90 minute movie, but no one would’ve believed a Nolan movie could’ve been good under 3 hours, so they just jammed in all this boring dialogue that went nowhere.

        It was a good role for Matt Damon though. He can’t carry a movie, but goddamn he does great cameos.
