Goes to show you that most people like big explosions and action. Anything with some form of thinking straight to the bottom if you don’t understand it. Lol
I just re-watched Interstellar again this week; it’s a mind blowing film, absolutely spectacular with a lot of heart…finally getting around to reading Kip Thorne’s accompanying book too.
Wish he would fix his sound mix issues. Polluting dialogue with an over bearing soundtrack is annoying. Apart from that, he has a promising career ahead of him 😉
this! it's my favorite Nolan Film to date and it's amazing how it has two lead roles, to which they both ate. it even had Black Widow, Wolverine, Batman, and Alfred working together! jk
Combine that w/ it came out the same time as The Illusionist, & people got confused about why there were 2 magician movies out at the same time, who was what,& what was why.
People just kinda half-ignored both of 'em as a result.
If people actually SAW The Prestige, it'd have boatloads higher scores
3 of his best films at the bottom lol. Audiences have no idea what’s good. Tenet, Prestige, and Interstellar were all amazing non-superhero films. Should have scored in 90’s.
What?! The Prestige and Tenet being the lowest?!😭😭💔💔 But they are wonderful films!!!🥺🥺🫶 I can understand general people that get a headache in getting to understand those films since those are ones that need to put a lot of attention to see the story. But come on, those films deserve much better. 😢💔
I mean, even tho I mostly agree to this, using RT is not a very good argument.
Even aside from how reliable they are, this argument boils down to "thos view if mine is correct because other people who are not me said so".
You could knock 15% off that score for The Dark Knight.
Extremely overrated movie.
Heath Ledger is fucking incredible, but the rest of the movie is extremely mediocre.
And you can knock 40% off of that score for The Dark Knight Rises.
TDKR was a hardcore miss.
Just straight-up dumb.
That movie doesn't HAVE a plot, unless you go to the C plot of the love triangle.
There's a vague notion of a B plot with Bruce supporting Harvey Dent for.....something.
It seems like he'd be campaigning for District Attorney, but he's ALREADY the DA.
Ledger's performance is phenomenal, but I wouldn't say he's REALLY playing Joker, per se, & I definitely wouldn't call it a plot.
He's doing random shit.
Not in a "he just wants to create chaos" sort of way.
More in a....this has no direction and it's not building to anything, sort of way.
Like I can beat for beat pretty much tell you the entire plot of Batman Begins.
They introduced characters, they have motivations, they make sense, they combine & build into a bigger arc, & end up with a climax & resolution.
For The Dark Knight...I dunno what the hell that movie's supposed to be. 🤷🏻♂️
The moment you stop paying attention to Ledger, & wonder WTF is supposed to be going on around him, you realize that there's just kind of nothing there.
Like the sequence of events technically mostly makes sense (aside from the giant plot hole in the middle), but it's not really a functional story.
He’s great for sure, but sometimes people just say they love the films because they didn’t want to admit to not having a clue what was going on (definitely not us 😬).
"Love is so core to the human experience that even a far-off fourth dimensional evolution of humanity would hinge the survival of our species on a father's promise to his daughter."
Obviously I saw it. However to anyone who's into sci-fi (books) the plot of interstellar is nothing new.
It's also just... slow. I don't mind slow movies per se, but once you've seen Interstellar already, rewatching it when you already know what's going to happen next is just tedious.
Also, the writing is very lazy at times, and for a movie that attempts to be somewhat scientifically accurate it's really jarring how the ending just throws all credibility out of the window for the sake of shoveling in some cringe morale.
Point is: in the end there's a reason it has a 73% score on Metacritic.
It's not that critics don't "get it". It's because it has mediocre writing and slow pacing, and it doesn't have the captivating visuals and/or music the same way a film like Dune: Part One has.
And 93% for Dunkirk.... I'm sorry but that movie was not a classic in its genre like interstellar, all I remember from Dunkirk was movie showed like 500 soldiers waiting in lines when in reality 10000 soldiers died while trying to evacuate....
Flip the scores and it's definitely more accurate...
Dunno if it's confirmation bias or not, but I always think war movies tend to do well regardless of if they're 'great' or 'good', and it's the complete opposite with space movies.
Maybe movie critics shouldn't be on the pedestal we put them on

Also Interstellar having a 73 approval rating is right on the money tbh
But his batman series are pure perfection
https://culturecrave.co
Most of the stuff he made after The Dark Knight has an artificially inflated score that just comes from unchecked fanboyism.
The Prestige came out BEFORE people realized who he was, so it flew under the radar & is underrated

2. Tenet is a miss for me.
That is flat-out his best movie, by miles.
None of his other movies come anywhere remotely close.
It's nonsense to rate Memento or Dunkirk anywhere near that high.
They're both good, but not remarkable.
They should be 85%ish.
Solid B's
Extremely overrated movie.

Other than pretty pictures there is really nothing that interesting about that film.

That interesting is right by that sounds to there nothing overrated really.
