  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★★★½ Watched 29 Jul 2023

  nolan did an excellent job in this film. now THIS is a film that is actually meant to be 3 hours long (unlike avatar 2). i can't comment on its historical accuracy (because it's been so long since i took history), however nolan did well in portraying oppenheimer's guilt in his responsibility regarding the bomb. i am giving it 4.5 stars though because i nearly fell asleep in the first hour of the movie, as they jump right in to…

  ½ Rewatched 30 Aug 2023

  i would give this 0 stars if i could. given the 13 year gap between this and the first movie, it was disappointing to see that the graphics/cgi was so similar if not the same. don't get me wrong, i appreciate great cgi, however i just think that in comparison with the first movie (which came out in 2009 mind you) there's not a huge difference in its development. this may have been a result of it being overhyped but…
