There are no Nebraska farm boys or Brooklyn street smarts G.I's in it, it's just a true story about Great Britain and France in the War

Just the overly long preview bored me, I can't imagine a whole movie like that. But for those that like war movies Nolan likely nailed it.

It will never be as good as Road House or Big Trouble in Little China though. You all probably knew that already.

Interesting. I just watched Jeremy Jahns' review which says there are well put-together scenes but the overall story lacks characterization.

8 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 1

Apparently from what I'm hearing, Nolan intentionally left out characterization and made a movie about being in the moment. And in Dunkirk

I can appreciate that on a meta level but I don't know if it will grab me as an audience member.

98% on RT, but more importantly the actual reviews are very positive.

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 1

Sometimes RT score are high but actual reviews are kinda "yeah I guess it's good enough" level. So this is a good sign.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

lol does anyone take RT seriously? it's an entertaining site but I would never use that to sell a movie to someone

It's just a rough measure of whether reviews are favourable or not (but not how favourable they are). If you care about critics it's a start

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Critics always love oscar bait. Basically any movie that tries to make you feel miserable cause apparently critics need more of that.

I read the one negative review on rotten tomato. I know people are entitled to their opinions but that guy is pants on head retarded.

Whenever a movie is almost universally loved, I'm always curious to read why the 1 critic hated it. They almost always come off looking dumb

Maybe because he somehow expected a wildly different movie than anyone else? Maybe because he knocked off points for the movie for 1/

Completely nonsensical reasons? Maybe because he put in a lot of comparisons that were veiled insults to topics going on now that have no 2/

Its currenty rated at 9.6 on IMDB which makes it literally the best movie ever by a long way. ( Shawshank 9.2, Godfather 9.2 )

The operative word here being "currently".

Look at the # of votes & read up on Bayesian estimates (the method imdb uses to rank movies). What you said has little to no relevance.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Gee, a cool-looking war movie with a 1 Direction guy doing a cameo rates high on an internet movie database? How odd!

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Not how the IMDB rating system works, it needs 25000 viewers to vote on it before it becomes ranked

8 years ago | Likes 21 Dislikes 0

I smell something fucky - fans voting. I have a feeling I am going to let down when I see it. :(

IMDB, RT, etc. ratings hardly mean shit for how good a movie is.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 4

Personal taste always varies greatly, but that doesn't mean ratings are useless.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

True. But they're usually good indicators. You can of course hate a highly rated movie or like a low rated one.

It's a bit early to be throwing around "best movie ever", no?

8 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 0

I bet if you wait a few years to give a reasoned opinion about it being the best movie ever it will be more satisfying than calling it now.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

And to say it's better than Shawshank ...

and i remember when Suicide Squad was sitting pretty at a 9, that 9.6 is going to change

SS was never highly rated, not even the day after release

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Dunkirk is also 98% rotten tomatoes and 97 metacritic. SS was nowhere near on those ratings, and those can't be flubbed by superfans

Critics love oscar bait

It's still not the best movie on either of those sites, but yes you cant flub the numbers their
