I walked out disappointed, probably because over the past two years, I inevitably conjured up my version of what I expected the movie to be. But hours later, I am still shaking from the experience, and I can't wait to go back for a second viewing. This is the third time something like this has happ...

Okay, I'm going to hit the "I didn't care about any characters" from another angle (possible spoilers). Many reviewers, like the ones who would state my above quote, acknowledge that Nolan's vision puts you onto the beach with the soldiers as if you are one of them. There are 400,000 soldiers. Tell ...

Or did you mean there was a similar standee in California?

Is Dunkirk low tier, mid tier or among his best for you? ...

This is true.

I do personally think this will play fine with 30+ y.o. general audiences. Any teenage girls coming in to see Harry will probably not like the film very much due to its style.

The only thing I don't think this film will have going for it with general audiences is repeat viewings.

A question to those who have already seen it (sorry if this is already been asked, I didn't see it anywhere) Was your theater full? I'm wondering about ticket sales at this point. Mine was a Monday advance screening that was not only full, but 50 people couldn't even be accommodated (the WB screene...

My point is that they aren't necessary looking for the film to beef up the scenes that we already have, but they need a prelude. How did they get to the point that they are at? That's what most critics are looking for, in my opinion. That's why it's pretty shocking to see the rave reviews from so m...
