This is like a hyper specific version of "all early impression are super positive!" cliche.
All you have to do is look up the Interstellar reviews by date to know that's not the case.

So with only 23 reviews tallied so far on MetaCritic only one Nolan movie has more 100 scores which is Dark Knight with 16 compared to Dunkirk with 15.
Dunkirk has already surpassed every other Nolan movie by at least 4 100 scores and still has 20+ reviews to go

lol there are no "logic holes" ....it's memento-esque in terms of jump in time but it's a pretty cut and dry story .

I'm seeing this opening night but I'm really skeptical
i legit hated interstellar.. it single handedly ruined Christmas for me when it came out
also yeah the running time is appreciated.. sick of 3 hour blockbusters

Interstellar didn't have this reception though.

To tell you the truth, it had a underwhelming response because many felt it didn't reach the heights of The Dark Knight. But many still enjoyed the movie and thought it was good.
I mean people call it trash, but it really isn't

I guess a lot of people really don't know the story of Dunkirk huh.
This was long before America was even at war with Germany.

America isn't involved at all. USA was no where near WWII during Dunkirk.
This movie avoids politics. No politicians. Just those on the battlefield and the citizens trying to save their soldiers.

America had no involvement in Dunkirk.
Huh, even the reviews?

Yeah. Rises didn't get nearly the same critical reception as Dark Knight.
Well then Dunkirk might really be that good. Could it really be?

Let's be honest here, heath ledgers rendition of the joker carried that movie. There's a reason why he's the most lauded part and the one that win the Oscar.

Oscar's changed their best picture nomination format because Dark Knight got snubbed

Guy that has made amazing movies like Memento, The Presitge, The Dark Knight etc. has made another great movie, how surprising.

There a lot of other reasons why. Don't know why people constently just point to his performance alone.
As someone who don't think highly of Nolan (Even though Memento still one of the best movies) I am intrigued only because of the setting and the history behind this movie
Nolan is now in the film fan backlash phase of his career joining the likes of Spielberg and Cameron for making a string of good movies rather than excellent ones.
They're good movies, but overrated imo. So I try to be as sceptical as possible here.
The industry is in despair mode to find a replacement for Kubrick, one that can provide art movies that make money at the same time and legitimize the medium. Nolan is the current candidate, at the expense of being largely overestimated.
Who cares if you think they're overrated

Holy shit that MC score.
Haha have I struck a nerve? I'm so sorry.

If Nolan made movies like BFG, War Horse, Terminal, etc he would get heat from clowns like you way more than Spielberg does.

"They're good movies but overrated" is a silly ass take
If you think a movie is good, what makes it overrated ? You act like all his movies have 100% on rotten tomatoes and have garnished an abundance of awards. At that point I guess if you think a movie is just good but can also be looked at as overrated .
Haha, you sure struck my shitposting nerve! Just kidding, I just think saying something is overrated is really useless. I mean literally who cares if you think these movies are rated higher than they should be, when you are just another opinion (just like those you are dismissing)? How am I even supposed to understand what your post is actually saying when I don't know what existing ratings you are even talking about when you say you disagree with them?
That's all. No nerves broken. I swear I'm not mad online.
I'm mainly thinking about the vocal minority on the Internet that thinks Nolan is a God and his movies are untouchable masterpieces when I say his movies are overrated. I'm actually not so sure how large that minority really is.
So your thinking of Nolan movies being overrated actually means you disagree with a minority of fans. Got it
