So today I watched Oppenheimer and it was good. I was extremely excited for this one and my expectation meter was quite high but it turned out to be just good, not extraordinary or beyond expectation, it was a good movie.
A lot of the things Nolan did right in this one: to begin with he remained very true to the source material. Also, he made everyone acted their hearts out which was quite an astonishing feat.
Acting on the other hand was amazing, Robert Downey Jr. Will definitely get an Oscar for his performance so will Emily Blunt. Matt Damon was also outstanding but Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer was the star and his acting was beyond outstanding and it makes sense because it was a movie driven by acting and the script and Nolan made it look quite captivating.
Now we'll come to some of the things I didn't like: I'm not a fan of Nolan's style of directing, although he did some thing differently in the first hour of the movie but then got back to his old roots and it felt like a sequel to Inception or any one of his movies.
Also, for the life of me the way his characters talk. Dear Lord, no one talks like that in real life, he's got so much plot within a plot within a plot going that every single character tries to explain what's happening and what direction the film is taking.
I guess I would've enjoyed the movie better if it wasn't that hyped to an extent where some people I know were saying "that was the darkest movie they have ever seen" which was clearly not the case.
Anyways, I would recommend you to let the hype die a bit then watch it and you may end up enjoying it a lot more than I did or if you're really impatient then catch the hype train and see for yourself what I'm saying.
Apart from a few things he did differently it was just another Nolan flick that people were dying for (including myself but I was roped in sadly) I came home a wee bit disappointed because I watched a lot of interviews on him taking a different direction and all but nope, walked right into that one.
My rating 7/10 Peace.
