You're correct YMMV on how much we all care person to person, but for me a spoiler is "anything the filmmaker hopes you experience for the first time in a movie theater." How much one person or another feels something is or isn't a spoiler to them is sort of immaterial, in my opinion, compared to what the filmmaker designed his work to be.physicshistoryguy wrote: ↑July 15th, 2023, 10:39 pmIt is very positive; I personally don't think there's anything spoilery in it, but YMMV.Jesus of Suburbia wrote: ↑July 15th, 2023, 10:33 pmI don’t want to hit the spoiler but is it positive or negative
Few thoughts I'll slap in spoiler tags just based on that one tweet:

Oppenheimer - Early Reactions
It's quite strange the difference between French and British/American reviews... most French people who have seen the film tell me it deserves 3.5/5. Maybe because the French haven't seen it in Imax?

No. Oppenheimer is like Dunkirk 5/5 movie for critics and 3.5/5 for audience. Most people dont like 3 hours movie without spectacular actions.
I think it's more like a difference between European and American movie traditions. I think European film critics tend to be more critical of big American studio films anyway, especially critics from countries with an amazing history of film. I'm not saying this as a diss, mind you, but as a European myself, I see this sort of attitude in my home country both in critics and part of the audience alike.

What also frightens me in one of the reviews I've read is that apparently

Based on the the recent early social media reactions, and the current movie landscape where critics are being extra harsh on IP content and extra positive on original IP and films without abundance of CGI, I think Oppenheimer will end up around 69-75 on Metacritic and 70-85% RT critic score with a median critic rating of 6.8/10 - 7.2/10

I dont think based on the early reactions the metacritic and RT scores will be so low as you mentioned. Oppenheimer is not original story, it is based on a book and true events but that does not mean that the way that the story is told is unoriginal. Dunkirk for example was also based on true events but the 3 story lines made the film original. Oppenheimer will be also unique in storytelling. And based on the early reactions i think RT score will end at 90%-93%. Metacritic will be 80-85%.

Hopefully better than this but we shall see. Oscar Best Picture odds stand at: Flower Moon 4/1, Oppenheimer 5/1...interesting.Retskrad wrote: ↑July 16th, 2023, 8:01 amBased on the the recent early social media reactions, and the current movie landscape where critics are being extra harsh on IP content and extra positive on original IP and films without abundance of CGI, I think Oppenheimer will end up around 69-75 on Metacritic and 70-85% RT critic score with a median critic rating of 6.8/10 - 7.2/10
