Some are saying it's boring.


Seeing people commenting on social media that it's overhyped and I'm not surprised. Isn't it a 3 hours talky drama?

reply

Yes, historical period-piece films are often considering boring by some, especially if they went into the film with little or no interest in the subject matter beforehand. As Detective Hanna would say, “ What d'you want for that, a junior g-man badge?”

I kid, I kid.

Well, it is a Christopher Nolan film. So yeah, boring.

His previous films have been all entertaining. That's why he's so popular. What are you talking about?

I find cartoon action extremely boring and a waste of time. This can't be as bad.

It’s not a movie made for dummies. It’s a biopic so of course it’s long and talky. People under 30 probably won’t enjoy this. People will over 30 will like it. People over 50 will absolutely love it.

It’s better than Barbie but let’s not kid ourselves because this was not even half deep or half intellectually simulating. I’ve see indie films way more profound than this and face palm at the final dialogue because it was so AI generic
