What if Dunkirk is disappointing?

What did you ask and what were the responses?

On a side note, I find it strange that the last shot wasn't in IMAX.

This must be the first time since Inception that the ending montage wasn't entirely in IMAX.
I think it'll be easier if I just direct you to it: http://www.nolanfans.com/forums/viewtop ... 8#p1121773

Anyway, it's not that I disagree with the interpretation or can't accept it, it's that what I see in that ending shot doesn't convey it the same way that I would have expected that shot to be conveyed. Just my opinion.

There was another response similar to that in another thread, brought up independently by somebody else.

It wasnt disappointing for me but I also didnt have many expectations. I do kind of agree with the criticism about the characters not being fleshed out and that the supposedly emotional moments werent either.

While watching I did care about the characters - But afterwards I cant stop wondering if that was mainly because I've seen the actors in a lot of interviews and kind of care about them. If I hadnt seen any interviews I probably wouldnt have cared as much.
Edit: I mean the only reason I even knew some of the characters names are because of all the promo I have seen. For a general audience who hasnt seen any of that I can see how something like lack of names will throw them of connecting to the characters.

That's enough of that. You can be critical without being an insulting asshole.
Just a troll dude, don't bother with him.
