Would be really hard for it to match Dunkirk reception but I hope this can have like an 8/10 average and near 90% on RT or something. Since Tenet was more muted reception, hoping that Oppenheimer will regain some trust for some.

Good stuff man, thanksVader182 wrote: ↑July 11th, 2023, 2:24 pmI'm going to caution people to possibly anticipate a slightly more muted reception than that towards Dunkirk.
I've talked to a few people who've seen it and they all loved it (albeit, like us, big Nolan people), but they also warned me audiences and indeed critics may find it too slow, long, talky, or too structurally much.
I will also point out that very few press are seeing it before July 17th or 18th. In fact, only a relatively small handful of actual critics have seen it so far. Mostly, it's junket press. So keep that in mind when early reactions drop.

How long now until reactions?

Joshua Rothkopf loved it, calls it “incredible.” If I recall right, he only has loved Memento and The Prestige. I suspect the top critics are gonna adore it.

"The female characters suffer from a lack of development. (...) Overall, the film lacks emotion."
Cliché in any "post-The Dark Knight" Nolan's movie review.

I care very little about Oppenheimer getting same or near ratings to that of Dunkirk. For example, The Prestige is way down in Metacritic score (to mention one) compared to other Nolan films that came after yet it is considered now different by a lot of people as you all probably know. I mainly care about reactions/reviews to see how that might affect box office wise.
"Lack of emotion" I have seen that brought up in a lot of his movies that I even see it as a cliche now. "Female characters" i feel there are critics who exaggerate on that. Just like some people don’t consider or even think Dunkirk comes close to a horror film either.
I say, wait for the movie and each of you see what is your take then, which I think we should be aware by now. To me some people seem already predisposed to stuff just because of possible reviews and whatnot. Just my opinion.

Kenneth Turan and Joshua Rothkopf both hailed the film.
