The local branch of IGN just posted its review of the film. No point-system (a decision I support!), but in the end they didn't like it as much as Nolan's previous flicks. The main complaint is that, while it is an enormous spectacle and the 150 minutes of it truly fly by, the film's empty characters and plot can throw you out of the experience (my translation can sound harsher than it should). They felt that JDW's character was a bit disappointing, while saying that Debicki's character, although serving merely as an emotional drive for the plot, is one of Nolan's more interesting ones.
Tenet Reviews/Reactions [Possible SPOILERS]
24.hu wrote nearly exactly the same with less positives, they gave it 6.5 out of 10.DHOPW42 wrote: ↑August 25th, 2020, 9:45 amThe local branch of IGN just posted its review of the film.

Seems unlikely that his will be counted in MetaCritic for instance. Meanwhile they have a guy on there counted twice with the same review for 2 different publications. That's Nicholas Barber counted as a 65/100 for The Wrap and a 60/100 for the BBC.Intonestellar wrote: ↑August 25th, 2020, 9:57 amThere is the 5* review of Tenet from The Guardian i said about a few days ago.
I stand corrected! They posted the Bradshaw review on Metracritic. Happy to be wrong.

Reviews are getting better and better now in the main.
Not sure about that, but at this point I think the pattern is clear: to use RT terminology, rotten and fresh reviews really say the same thing about the movie, but some critics like the film despite those flaws, and some don't. I mean, even this quite positive Bradshaw review explained how it's impossible to follow the film and suchIntonestellar wrote: ↑August 25th, 2020, 10:21 amReviews are getting better and better now in the main.

It’s getting quite a lot of 5* from respected outlets, mostly 4*. Imagine how the DC movie fan forums go on a similar thread, they’d be pleased to see 20%DHOPW42 wrote: ↑August 25th, 2020, 10:23 amNot sure about that, but at this point I think the pattern is clear: to use RT terminology, rotten and fresh reviews really say the same thing about the movie, but some critics like the film despite those flaws, and some don't.
