7/10. Glad I watched but don’t have any desire to see it again.story was sub par. Communist sympathizer is super smart and headed the Manhattan project that everyone already knew about. Big whoop

Wasn't it based on some book that had a lot of the details from the people involved in the project
It's the most pivotal point in world history and had the Germans figured it out first our country might look a lot different

are you only interested in bio pics of people and things you’ve never heard about?

With such an intellectual criticism like this I have been won over to now not think this is a great movie. Well done

I thought the first act was just ok, the second act is Nolan at his best. The third act is also strong, but a bit too long, IMO.

You're a bad reviewer and not a good reviewer.

Spoilers

I enjoyed it, but largely agree with this take.

A large part of this movie a retelling of a congressional investigation and confirmation hearing. As a story telling device it’s ok, but I did not find the senate confirmation hearing for commerce secretary in the 50s terribly interesting, and didn’t really like the scooby doo presentation and conclusion of the Lewis Strauss character.

My dick is big but it's not massive. It's only 13 inches; it's not like it scrapes the ground when I walk or anything.

I think 7/10 is a reasonable ranking. Although by IMDB standards I think something in the 7s would be considered "very good" and I think that's about right.

It's well done. About as much as you can do with a biopic. I think the political saga is interesting and also well done, but there is a limit to how many times I'll want to rewatch that.

One thing I do like about Nolan movies is that even in the less complex substantive storylines (arguably Dunkirk, Oppenheimer) there are still a lot of issues and items to wrestle with that keeps me from getting bored with them.

It was real though. I guess you are better off with superhero/action movies, and that is fine.

Visuals 9/10
Story 6/10
Pacing 4/10
Acting 8/10 -2 points for Damon

I felt like it didn't live up to the hype. It could have been much better. It felt very in a box except for the weird sex scenes that felt incredibly out of place.
