Oppenheimer (I) (2023)
7/10
Content per minute is smaller than it seems

I understand that Nolan knows his craft and his scripts are like you learned it at school. His actors are, as expected, perfect, even in smaller parts. Yet, after three hours, I left the IMAX unsatisfied. No, it was not the ending, that was predictable. I simply don't understand why it took so long to tell a rather simple story. Don't get me wrong, the story is rightfully told, but sometimes I felt all the flashbacks, the continous enjoying soundtrack and repeating similar biographical details are there to simulate greatness. Camerawork is professional but far from being extraordinary and this goes for much of the movie.

In the end, despite of the masses flooding the IMAXs, interviews and making of s evoke expectations that are just partially fulfilled.

May be everything was too perfect to completely disappoint but falls short to be really great.
