One part Great Man Theory with tons of navel gazing and genuflecting to a handful of star figures. One part Sorkin-esque courtroom drama.
Zero parts fun.
Three fucking hours long.
Don’t waste your money on this shit bag, folks.

I’m starting to realize everyone on this site has baby brain movie opinions
Finally saw it. It was good. I disagree with OP and many others ITT which is why I’m replying to you lol. It wasn’t Sorkin-esque in my opinion because Sorkin-esque dialog is very quippy and punchy and smug and sarcastic, and this movie didn’t feel that way at all. Nor did it feel very “great man theory” because there was a lot of focus on the other scientists, engineers, soldiers, and workers involved in the project. It was a biopic, but it was also about McCarthyism. Was it a communist movie, made for communists? of course not. But it was still enjoyable.
Please enlighten us with your galaxy brain opinions
Adults are not allowed to consume entertainment unless it is sufficiently ponderously grimdark. The arbiter of adulthood has spoken.
I think it’s a maturity thing. There’s an outward need to be contrarian, to be seen. And often just yeah baby brained poor analysis of film
Calling people “baby brained” is totally not contrarian whatsoever and there’s no possible motive to be seen as superior for looking down on other people that aren’t consuming “mature” enough treats.
I don’t think it’s a commentary of the maturity of the treats. I think it’s going out of your way to say that there is zero value or anything interesting in a movie like Oppenheimer is just reductive and silly. It just speaks to having a pretty unrefined sense of film analysis. Notice here I’m not arguing for the merits of Oppenheimer. There’s often a sort of weird desire to compete with one another in left spaces to be more radical than others, like “oh that’s your opinion? My opinion is even more extreme than that. I win.” Which leaks into conversations like this in weird ways, and I think that’s a generally a of personal immaturity, not the maturity of the thing itself. And also, “baby brained” is just colloquial shorthand. It’s a silly little phrase, but it’s kind of straw man to be like “oh you used a widespread internet phrase, who’s the immature one now?”
I disagree; calling an entire community “baby brained” just seems arrogant to me and I stand by that.
“Just joking, unless” is an easy out for that, of course.
What would the “unless” part of that be? It was tongue in cheek
No “unless” was said by that person. I added the unless because that was the implication of the “just joking” excuses after the fact.
This really is getting tiresome at this point.
My treats are actually really cool and underground you probably haven’t heard of them because you’re not cool like me
Dae le rare multibillion dollar franchise gems.
Only starting to realise now? This site has had the weirdest most out of touch opinions I’ve ever seen on general media. Like a bunch of millenial boomers. My favourite occurrence of this is when hexbear starts trashing on movies like black panther, saying it’s colonialist/racist or something. Well in South Africa where I live, people absolutely love that movie series, black panther is massive over here. I’m talking about singing and dancing outside the cinema, holding watch parties, etc. I’ve yet to meet a single African here that has expressed a negative opinion of the movie in real life. Pretty much everyone under the age of 35 loves it and regularly makes jokes about “Wakanda”, etc. Yet according to hexbear it’s colonialist apologa trash that no one likes.
There also seem to be a bunch of cranky joyless users that hold eternal grudges bazinga style, like Sheldon Cooper from the big bang theory lmao. I don’t quite understand that.
Dont think people actually hate Black panther expect for racist Chuds Its just that people dont like the typical “Villians goes to far” and The CIA propaganda
