Not every main character has to be a happy go lucky superhero, specially if its a movie about a real person.
according to her theory you can only make a movie about a real character when he is fun or nice...fucking lol
lmao she prolly hated tf out of breaking bad or the sopranos
@@bekhele What a terrible reviewer
@@Wolfhunter5607 Next she will hate Peaky Blinders
If you needed to say this, then you know how much she knows about film. That those boosters running through her. xD RDJ was bad she said ?!
"There was only one atomic explosion in the film itself" .... Yes... it is called, the Trinity Test. That's the movie... Jesus...
why nolan didnt include the hiroshima bomb tho. that's odd
@@yuriwbofficial6142 becoz this film isnt about that
@@yuriwbofficial6142 movie is about Oppenheimer, not the bomb
@@yuriwbofficial6142because Oppenheimer didn't actually see the explosions. And the movie is about him and not atomic bomb
@@shushant8042 dank. that sounds very boring
The problem here is expectation. This is not a popcorn superhero flick. This is a drama about a guy who made the atomic bomb. It's only too talky because you don't like that type of movie or were expecting something different. This is exactly the movie he wanted to make.
It was even that good as an art film
that was literally no ones expectation
@@Aussie27Legendthat's what it looks like from the trailers. What kind of film were you expecting?
@@bigkmoviesandgames charlie is saying people who don't like it don't because it isn't actiony and i am saying how could anyone expect action when this is clearly nolan going for a drama oscar
I have not seen it yet, seeing it tuesday, so can't speak to its quality yet.
@@Aussie27Legend
I see.
I think Grace missed the point of two scenes in particular that actually showed the effects of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. When Oppenheimer delivered the post war speech and the projector scene where he physically couldn’t look at the effects of his creation. This is brilliant direction because it shows the consequences from Oppenheimer’s perspective. Much more creative than flashing us scenes of the actual devastation.
she doesn't understand art, that's it haha
Showing the actual, real devastation would've come off as exploitive. Nolan made the right choice
Once you said "interstellar is my least favorite Nolan film" that told me everything I needed to know about the differences in our love for Nolan as a filmmaker.
That's deep...but I agree. 😊 how can one not like Interstellar?
@@mogammedflanders4240 Easily.
@@thecker12same.
Interstellar has a few good set pieces but the ending is DUMB
Interstellar is a type of movie I have heard many say is amazing but equally many say it's awful.
I mean, the film is called Oppenheimer, not Atomic Bomb
Exactly 🔥
I can only imagine what Grace's reaction would have been if the had gone with the book title "American Prometheus". Review: disappointing lack of eagles eating livers
I mean, what is Oppenheimer known for? He is known for the atomic bomb and that he was being accused for being a communist when he was not. Within those 4 years of making the atomic bomb, a lot of things happened and obviously lots of math and science went behind creating this. They had to make sure the math was right and using the correct materials to make sure the bomb doesn't explode before flying it up in the air. That is why in the trailers Matt Damon's character asked if there was a still a chance that we could destroy the world if we push that button? And they actually thought of that question because they was a scary weapon they were creating. One of major regrets of his career was the building the atomic bomb and quoted, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds”. If you really wanted to learn about his life, it is nothing but him going to college to become a chemist. There is not enough research as to why he wanted to become a scientist and I am sure he did not plan on creating a dangerous weapon that changed history to where we can now destroy the world now with nuclear war. It must have fucked up his mind and questioned his morals. I have not seen the movie yet, but yours and her reason for not liking the film is stupid because it had too much science talk lmaoo. It is about a scientist and his known work for atomic bomb... What else better do you think it should have talked about in the film?? I guess the most dramatic part of it if you wanted the "drama" is his affair and trials.
Lol that’s not gonna matter to casuals
but it's kinda disappointing we didn't happen to see fatman
Jesus 👀 so basically Grace didn't understand the movie and what they were trying to achieve. "weren't enough explosions" is certainly a take.
9 times out of 10 I can count on Grace having the exact opposite opinion that I have about a movie. 😂
Yes indeed, I’m going back through some of her reviews just to prove this point after she said she liked “The Marvels” lmao
And that 10th time is a Tom Cruise movie: Maverick and Dead Reckoning
@@dangolden8020 me too. And she outright said here that watching Oppneheimer will ruin "Barbie experience," can u believe her audacity
Cillian Murphy is one of those actors who can act with just his eyes. Its an amazing talent that few actors have.
Yeah. I really want to watch it just for him. I didn't even know it had all of these other people in it.
He is great but dont Like the Story
Robert Pattinson can too
Matthew Macfayden (Tom on Succession) is wonderful as well
He captures Oppenheimer's contemplativeness with just a few looks.
This is not action film grace it is biopic
She clearly missed the scene when an oiled Cillian Murphy turns up with a grenade launcher at Hiroshima and shouts "Its Cowabunga time"
according to her a movie about the scientist developing and testing the bom, needed more nukes rolf!
@@vikramkrishnan6414That’s one of the scenes of all time
I know it’s like see wanted it to be a MIchael Bay movie
I think she was waiting for Oppenheimer to get stuck on an equation and then the secretaries come in and say to him “girls get it done”
Saying Interstellar is Nolan’s worst is wild. That movie is a near masterpiece
Yeah it is FAR better than dunkirk and tenet. Awful movies.
@@trenken
Hard disagree on Dunkirk
Dunkirk IS the worst Nolan film. For a war movie, it is extremely dull.
Beautifully shot though…
How dare someone have a different opinion than mine!
@@lawrenceliuvaie6331worse than tenet and dark knight rises? Extremely bold opinion lmao
I love how the complaint about the effects they created for the bomb is that “I’ve seen fire before” and the suggestion to fix that is to use archival footage everyone has seen before 😂 these reviews are so entertaining
Do you really think Christopher Nolan would have just played low resolution archival footage? No, he would have enhanced it to a significant degree similar to how Peter Jackson enhanced world war I footage which allowed him to make an entire new experience.
@@ProperSauceor you can do that when you make your oppenheimer movie and chris nolan can make his how he wants
@@timskully3496 um yeah? Good thing I can still criticize it.
7:45 , “now you can’t make Oppenheimer a great guy if he was a jerk, he was jerk! You can’t change it… but then he shouldn’t be the main character of your movie!” In a movie about Oppenheimer which is titled Oppenheimer which is about his life and his expierence in his pov.
The idea that you can't have the main character "be a jerk" expresses such profound lack of media literacy or engagement with storytelling beyond "good guy beat bad guy" that it's astounding.
@@lordlubu3029
Grace watching Breaking Bad: “Oh wow this is actually pretty g- wait a minute!”
The film is called, "Oppenheimer". .not "The GREAT BIG 'WOW' EXPLOSION OF THE ATOMIC BOMB!!!!"😂
oppenheimer saw only one explosion in his life, the one during the test, but she wants more nukes!
Grace being Grace
Agreed. Also, it's supposed to be his POV.
I saw it today and I would strongly disagree about IMAX not making a difference. Nolan really uses the format and the clearness as a narrative tool, to portray the depths of the human face and the human interior. Usually IMAX is only used to better show landscapes and stuff like that. It's used in a new and fresh way here.
Nah, I saw it not in IMAX and it was fine. I saw the details, literally the pores of Rober Downey Jr.'s face, it was fine. Thought the make-up was done fantastically.
Either way it should have been named Strauss
No imax needed
I think he intended it to be in imax to get the audience be fully immersed in the experience: getting into the mind of the character, seeing the breadth of los alamos, getting a preview of what it felt like to be at the trinity test. He's making a statement that imax is not just for action films but for that full cinematic experience.
Yeah but was it worth the 20 dollar price per ticket? Interstellar, yes. But not so I can see pores better...lol
I dont like physics in a movie about physics. Remember this IS the woman who said WW 1984 IS A GREAT MOVIE
Grace has a terrible track record.
@@Ralph_Beckmanclown show
Personally, as a physicist, I’m most excited about this movie as a trap to make the general public learn more physics 😂. But also interstellar is one of my favourite movies so we probably have a difference of opinion here
Unfortunately I think Nolan is not the right person to teach general public about physics. Even Chernobyl did a much better job trying to explain general public about how a nuclear rector works.
Imagine paying to sit through a 3 hour physics class… 😂
😂 That’s a good way to think about it. After seeing the Chernobyl series, I ended up majoring in physics years ago. It’s cool how media can inspire people. But I also soon realized that movies don’t portray most scientific concepts accurately. At all. Lol
@@AzureSteelyou probably didn’t even see the movie 😂
@@AzureSteelfavorite movie ?
Havent seen oppenheimer yet, but disliking interstellar is insane
Bvs better
Literally
Not insane, it's more common than you think. Interstellar was pretentious AF. I feel you, Grace 👍
Interstellar hater here 💪
She probably only watched it once and that movie particularly benefits from repeat viewing
Grace: It might even be a bad movie.
Me: Guess what guys, it’s a great movie!
Everyone else:*
Ive not seen this review but im gonna say this grace going to hate oppenheimer
It’s so predictable 🙄
It’s been one sided. That’s why she never released any reaction videos to Oppenheimer trailers.
@@Michael-ur5qb right? Right
She's always so predictable with weird takes but I'm here for it haha
@@user-nn9je2hq8z she didnt? I never noticed . She gave she hulk and ms. Marvel good rating thats something and supermario bad rating
Not liking interstellar is INSANE to me, like… that film is monumental! Nolan’s a genius
It's my favorite film from him
there's a decent scifi movie in there somewhere but it went full daytime soap opera at one point, too much schlock.
Literally
Well, I don’t like it, soo, you’re not everyone and everyone has their right to not like anything
Interstellar is overrated af
Weird, I don't think you like Nolan so much cause I have watched all your reviews of his movies and the things you claims they lack are actually what peoples admire about them. I used to think it was just a taste thing but I feel its much more than that now.
When I saw this movie I already knew “yeah grace ain’t gonna like this” I could tell it wasn’t made for people with short attention spans
I have short attention span, I hated LOTR movies; but this was one of the most captivating movies and didn't even exhaust me. Only movie longer than this that I liked it Gone with the Wind which was exhausting for sure but still I liked it
*Goes to see a film about a theoretical physicist*
*Complains about there being too much theoretical physics*
Also, Interstellar is Nolan's second best film and almost eclipses The Dark Knight.
Dream on...
Interstellar's end is where it lost me.
Memento and Inception are my 1 and 2 respectively...Dark Knight is a close 3rd...
@@Kk-fj5tnprestige is better than memento
No way Interstellar is better than the Dark Knight
@@ishankapoor not for me, hey...
So let me get this straight - Barbie is one of your top 3 movies OF ALL TIME. (Let me repeat that - OF ALL TIME), but Oppenheimer was a disappointment? Yikes. I guess, to each his own. Let's just say my own experience is the reverse of this.
you cant be serious. Did she really say that?
I haven’t seen either one of them but that sounds absolutely insane
Everyone has different tastes. To say she needs to follow the heard, then maybe this isn’t a channel for you.
@@ssshar2176 I didn't say she needs to follow the herd. I literally said "to each his own'. lol
Are you really demanding someone to say her top 3 favorite movies are Citizen Kane, The Godfather and some Kurosawa movie just because that's what some smarty-pants told you that's the right answer?
Please.
Just got out the cinema. This is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. The performances, the pacing, the dialogue. Ah so great!
💯
I agree, 2nd favourite film of all time for me
This might be the first time I'm absolutely opposed to Grace. I think this was one of the best movies of Nolan. Everything about it was great. The dialogues, the acting, the score, the editing!! Seeing various physicists and other historical figures in the film was so exciting and it never felt Easter egg-ish except for that one time in the end.
3 hours went by like nothing. And that last line will probably go down in history as one of the best lines in cinema history. I sat through the credits just pondering....
I'm so glad I saw Barbie first and I'd recommend the same to anyone planning on doing Barbenheimer and hasn't done yet.
Yeah, I'm surprised by her take. it sounds like she was expecting a Marvel movie. It was always billed as a drama and we got a damn great one.
Surprised this is your first time lol. She thinks WW1984 is a great movie. I only watch her for her information (also kinda unreliable) and box office reports.
That is the saddest think I have read today.
first time? jesus christ
i was like, nooo Oppenheimer is bad..
i was relived when she said she hated Interstellar..
Same…when she said Interstellar was her least fav and Oppenheimer is worse, I was like, okay maybe I will love it. COz intersteallar was just such an amazing movie..loved it so much
good tip, never ever care about another ones opinio never when it comes to taste. something might work for a million of people, that doesnt mean its going to work for you and vice verca.
Yeah, if she said she was huge Nolan fan and loved all his movies but Oppenheimer, I would be worried.
She actually liked interstellar go back and watch her original review in 2014
Grace, you said when the first trailer dropped that you thought this was “boring”. This is an important event in world history. I don’t think you were ever in the right space to appreciate this film.
a movie that is all talk can still be riveting or unwatchable. what does she think of glengarry glen ross lol
This. She also wrote in her official review that it’s “unfair to history” which I don’t understand.
It's called mind made up before viewing.
@@Albo96286 right she like why is it about him if he is a bad person ummmm because he is the one that made the bomb she knew going in she wouldn't like it
Exactly. it's fine grace doesn't love the movie but some of her comments really make me wonder if reviewing movies is the right career for her to be in 🙃
Anyone who uses the term ‘Barbenheimer’, this film isn’t for you
The history of the atomic bomb is a little more complicated than that. We learned after the war that the Germans weren't as close to developing it as we thought, mostly because they had killed their best scientists or forced them to flee to allied nations. The Soviets were only able to develop theirs so quickly thanks to spies giving them information from the Manhattan project so not having the bomb or at least delaying its development and impact significantly was a possibility.
How could you spoil history?
I havent seen the film, but apparently there's a twist ending.
There is a post-credit scene when Thanos comes to steal an Infinity Stone from Oppenheimer.
@@WesleyWalrusI heard the twist is Godzilla appears after the blast.
The movie takes some liberties with this, obviously since a lot of what went on during the manhattan project wasnt documented. Milestones were, but various discussions and whatnot, that stuff had to be made up for the film bc its not like they had a video crew documenting it 24/7 lol.
So the movie can be spoiled bc some of what happens in it is just made up to create a complete film.
It would spoil the way that this story is told.
lmfao no way you said Robert Downey Jr was awful
every single review i read or saw so far, without any exceptions says Robert will at least get nominated for an academy award.
she said overacting, not awful
@@buciallstar people like to put words on her mouth and she doesnt agree with them.
Pretty sure she did say that
Makes sense. Barbie portrays Men poorly, Oppenheimer portrays Women poorly.
Barb looks like a fun film.
Insecure Chad found. Barbie had no men hating scenes
@@Ye-nt4fvbarbie was just bad
The fact that she didn’t like interstellar says a lot. That’s my favorite movie. Safe to say I’ll like this one too.
Interstellar is a movie that Will stand the test of time , one of the best sci fi movies ever made
I actually found Interstellar to be one of his messier films that exceeded his grasp and didn’t fully work. It was alright, some sequences were brilliant, but overall it’s nowhere near his best for me.
So true, it’s one of his best work.
@@tronam That a reference to The Prestige? Nice! Disagree though.
Imagine going into a film about the creator of the atom bomb and asking the filmmaker to NOT talk about physics LOL. Also, only narcissists need likeable protagonists in their film. A film can have a hateful monster as the protagonist and still work. Guess you need to take classes in filmmaking.
I hate people but I love you
If anything this movie doesn’t focus enough on physics.
You're the only one who didn't like the movie. All the rest of the reviewers loved it and said best movie of the year
Most aren't saying it's the best movie of the year. They are just saying it's really really good
Ive heard from more than one critic that the movie put them to sleep
@@CoryGasaway most are literlay saying that its not only the best film of year but of the decade go look at its reveiws and ratings
@@cammyr12Productions not one critic said that
Grace keeping it real. Appreciate that.
I’m watching it twice, two days in a row. I love how physics is being brought to the big screen, similar how social science topics were brought with Joker!
Social sciences and joker? It wasn't that deep
It seems like the comment section has better reviews than Grace.
Let's hope Cillian Murphy finally gets that long overdue Oscar nomination for this. Some incredible talent involved with this film 👏
Grace hated this
@nischesharma And she thought Zack Snyder's justice league was a masterpiece.. There's no accounting for taste.
@@imVIDOL YES YES YES YES All the theatres in my city are full this weekend i guess have to go next weekend spoilers!!!!!!
@@nischesharmagrace hates everything good
Not just a nomination an Oscar.
" this is like filmmaking 101" did she really just say that? She is actually lecturing Nolan..I cant..the hubris...holy shit
I'm surprised it's your least favourite Nolan film. Its reviews are incredible. 90 on Metacritic and 95% on RT with an average of 9/10 with 100 reviews. 🤣
Don't worry, she'll tell us that "Barbie" was great though! 😂
@@afanofpeanuts7381I’ve heard it was really great. This movie looks great too💯
@@afanofpeanuts7381 she said it's in her Top 3 movies of ALL TIME, for real.
Not every „critic“ has the same experience or knowledge. A lot of them often come off as just fans, tbh. Grace is the only one who discusses and anslyzes kinda like Ebert. And there aren’t a lot of Eberts out there
@@CarlosRodriguez-bh2eyit’s almost as if Movies are a subjective art form 🫨🤯
I already saw it two times.. it’s a fantastic movie from a technical/acting/script point of view.. unfortunately we live in the instant gratification era, so 3h may feel too long for a considerable amount of the audience, also it’s a movie that makes you think.. I think it’s his best film but not the most entertaining (it’s not an action/comedy movie), however I believe within time people will appreciate it more and more, and I’m planning to watch it again in the movie theater
Girl, take meds.... now
This is like saying you don't like Lord of the Rings or Matrix as cinematic achievements.
This is a serious film, serious cinema in the genre of a biopic. Not for popcorn or drinks, nor for getting joyful entertainment - masterfully shot, masterful shot composition, outstanding OST /sound design, oscar worthy performance by the cast, top-notch directing. One of Nolan's best.
It's a 10/10 as a movie can go.
This is to feel dread and internal turmoil, the haunting feeling that Oppenheimer felt (and presented to you by Nolan) after realizing the consequences of his + his peers scientifc breakthrough and the effect it had on the world and the fact that we are still living in an experiment that has not ended yet, we don't know the ending.
A cautionary warning in which the true creators & inventors don't have a say in how their creation is used, but by politicians that hold that power over them + the power to destroy a genius man, a scientist's life/image and/or influance in a very important field and lastly but not least - the power to destroy the world.
You seem extremely juvenile in not being able to appreciate such movies and themes + the fact that you can't separate an actor (or in Emily Blunt's case) actress from the role they play + you seem to disregard/disconnect the movie from its theme and real life importance.
Ignorance is a bliss.
Great film, will watch again. Robert Downy Jr.’s performance was amazing.
"movie about the atomic bomb"?
I pretty sure its called "oppenheimer", not "the atomic bomb", not "the manhattan project" , "Trinity test" or anything similair to that. Its about the man, his life, experience, trauma. The atomic bomb is the main part of that, but it was never intended, nor promoted as the movie about "THE BOMB"
Grace and I have the complete opposite reaction after seeing both barbie and Oppenheimer:
Grace said Barbie is one of the best movie she'd seen, I'd say it's a fine and entertaining movie. On the other hand, Oppenheimer is a movie I'd consider my new personal "greatest of all time." It's poignant and beautiful, yet tragic and brutal. I absolutely love this movie and every second of it. I'm going to see it again.
I also love movie subjectivity! I love the fact that by watching the same movie, people experience different things. So, you go Grace!
Go where?! She said RDJ was bad and characters who aren't pitch perfect nice people can't be protagonists, if she's a film critic I'm a scientist.
I 100% agree with your take. I'm at a loss that Grace is panning this movie while praising a mid movie like Barbie (it was likable but nothing to write home about).
I have to respectively disagree with Grace, This one is a must see in theaters, if you wait for streaming you are doing a miss service to yourself and theaters
She does a nice job with her channel analyzing the movie and TV industry, but she has awful taste in films
A film "critic" that mocks how Nolan made a fkn Amateur mistake with having an unlikable main actor, like that's film making 101 ??
I’m curious as to why you hated Interstellar? I don’t intend on being negative, but that film is transformative for me for my teens
Same for me.
I didn't like it because it made me feel dizzy. Also, I can't remember what it was about, I haven't watch it since that first time in the movie theater
@@mirandahallowadegoofy ahh reason
She did not like it bcoz oppenhiemer wasn't played by a black gay character and the bomb was not inclusive enough
Hi Grace, I've just watched Oppenheimer. I was confused by the first 15-20 minutes. But after that, I was intrigued. I came away emotionally and mentally exhausted, but overall, I think it was brilliant. Depressing about what these scientists inficted upon the world. But who are we in the 21st century, to judge the actions of those caught up in the horrors of WWII?
I viewed this movie as an insight into the people behind the Manhattan project rather than a sci-fi or action movie.
Having said all that, love your reviews.
I saw _The Day After Trinity (1981)_ documentary this week and one of those they interviewed called themselves mindless automatons because they just kept going with bomb development after U.S. intelligence said Germany's program failed, and again after Germany surrendered.
Oppenheimer was a "jerk" and "unlikeable" ? WHAT ? Where are you getting those descriptions of Oppie from ? The movie is based on his biography "American Prometheus" by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. The book portrayed Oppenheimer as charismatic and very like-able among many of his students and the scientists that he worked with.
I can't speak for the book, but in the movie, he has no friends and is known for being difficult to work with.
He was indeed a jerk at times. He tried to kill his friend and also cheated with his friend's wife
@@BeyondTheTrailer he was weird and hat little sides for sure, but i dont get your opinion that therefore he can never be the lead what is the movie about... so only biopics about perfect people without any flaws?
That’s how he was written. So do lead characters need to be boring, one dimensional and flawless? This is why Disney and many other companies are failing.
Interstellar being your least favorite is kinda wild to me. It’s one of my top films of all time. Sorry your IMAX projection experience wasn’t good. To each their own!
Yea i was shocked especially compared to his last two films
Feminist take. Look at the IMDb reviews not graces lol
I thought Interstellar's ending was pretty eye rolling and silly.
@@ryanmilligan3243 I care about her opinion even if I don’t think I’ll agree with it (maybe I will! Haven’t seen the movie yet).
@@ryanmilligan3243 If IMDB has reviewers like you...then no thanks lol
Thanks for the review Grace, I knew this was gonna be Nolan’s best film yet 😊
Nolan is a storyteller, probably one of the last few film makers who can make you reflect on life choices, and question just exactly where are we going as a species the movie is about the burden of intelligence and how it can be weaponized by those who Can’t see the Forrest for the trees!
I honestly feel like you kinda missed the point of the film.
Now that I see your point of view, I’m even more excited to watch it! The things that you hate about the movie are excactly the things that I was expecting and will love! Everybody who knows about the history behind this movie and who is excited about physics will loveee this movie. Its not about the bomb, its about the man behind it and the horrors of the aftermath!! Im sad you didnt get that.
I don't know if you've heard that bit but she said it's mostly about the man and the science, and does not really go deep into the horrors that have been unleashed into the world (Japan, particularly)
I am expecting this to be a biopic about a nuclear physicist. Nolan should have used CGI for the atomic blast though.
I'm undecided about showing survivors from Japan. I would love to see The Scouring of the Shire added to ROTK, but I understand why Jackson couldn't get the budget for it, or squeeze it in for timing. Maybe post bomb Japan would be disjointed? I can't answer that until I see the movie.
@@joaopauloduartedasilva4101 Yep. I haven't seen the movie yet, but Grace makes some great points here (especially regarding the missing visuals of the very real horrors that were unleashed).
@@rockabye274 they aren’t great points at all. The movie didn’t go into that stuff because it’s about the individual. Hence the title of the movie..
@@rockabye274 Oppenheimer never saw the aftermath of the bomb in Japan and the film is from his point of view.
Has their ever been a dumber review?
Grace, with all respect to your review, I would just like to add that to show the horrors of Hiroshima, would mean to show the people in the vicinity of the bomb, whose skin peeled off and whose insides liquified. And these reports were only made public in the U.S. around 1950 (if memory serves correct). Read John Hersey's Hiroshima for the account of what happened in 1945 (it's an easy and engaging read and fairly short). - Plus, they only had two bombs in 1945. It was the great bluff of the U.S. to say they had more. So, not having seen the movie yet, this all I have to say about the demand for 'more bomb', although I understand that effects are supposed to be shown in movies not verbalized.
I might also add that this film is about Oppenheimer rather than the actual events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It’s a character study about a significant man in history, which was always the case Christopher Nolan made. I think ‘more bomb’ would actually distract from what the film is trying to achieve.
@@willemkruse2333she doesn't get it or never will
I was thinking the same. The film is meant to be about Oppenheimer rather than the bomb.
You know, I kinda thought the same thing. Also, at this point in time, it's very much common knowledge that the effects of these weapons are horrific. To "show it" would be gratuitous.
@@dera641she's a blonde
I unfortunately didn’t have an IMAX anywhere near me, but the theater near me has a Dolby Theatre, and man was it awesome.
You could feel the explosion shaking you to your core while watching the movie.
And I think the poster depicts what the film is perfectly. It’s about Oppenheimer and his life, but you cannot discuss the man without the bomb and how it looks over his life kinda like it does in the poster.
I don’t think it’s absolutely amazing 10/10, but I undeniable that Nolan knows how to extract good performances from his actors and how to make dialogue scenes tense and interesting.
I did the Barbenheimer double feature last night and it was a blast. I had about 45 minutes between showtimes to relax and digest Oppenheimer before getting a more light-hearted but still mature and interesting film in Barbie.
The two films complement each other very well, and I loved both of them. One of the funnest things I’ve had the pleasure to do in a while.
Saying you didn't like the movie is fine but insinuating Nolan doesn't know filmmaking 101 is just ridiculous.
This just in, Picasso didn't know how to paint either
Interstellar is a flat out masterpiece. As well as inception. So this definitely helps gauge whether I might like Oppenheimer.
As someone who has had personal conversations with some of the A-bomb scientists-including Edward Teller, the film effectively portrays the feeling of moral conundrum about the development of the bomb. This movie is not about the bomb per se. It is as you say a biopic.
I watched this movie today and I absolutely loved every second of it
isnt unlikeable leads doing horrible things just like Succession, which is a masterpiece?
Not all movies need to have happy endings.
Also, this could never have had one because it's based on real shit. We've come close to total destruction a few times because of the Manhattan project. We will all have to ignore that at any point we'll get a missile alert basically telling us we are about to die.
This is a serious topic and she seems annoyed that Nolan took it seriously.
This film is NOT about the atomic bomb but rather the burden of guilt/responsibility on the man who was responsible for making it.
With that said I have to disagree with Grace’s opinion on the film.
The movie was filmed to be more of a documentary-style as opposed to a traditional story.
saw the movie, she totally missed the point, if i red a bit betwene her lines, mostly because she didn't like oppenheimer and she expected more nukes and less science...sad this movie is great
She wanted more of a “America - ooo rah” type patriotic film, and was surprised how reality played out
That woman didn’t know what she was talking about
@@henryjetplane9067 - to be fair, Grace seemed to be expecting a Disney type film where there are likeable protagonists and hateful villains. She's not at a stage where more sophistacated films capture her attention yet.
@@zziicckk01 and to be fair, she’s not a real critic
Imagine saying proudly, 'I not only don't get physics; I am not interested in getting physics.'
Learning is frowned upon in the US
Some people wear their ignorance like a badge of honor.
Ignorance begets more ignorance.
Not only saying it, but saying it as justification for calling a movie about the creation atomic bomb bad
What do you mean the development of the Atomic bomb was not an option?
Initially it was spearheaded with the very real threat of Germany developing its own A bomb but fairly early on discovered that it was about 18 months behind the US and no where close to developing one before the wars end.
USSR didn't have an A bomb project during WW2.
I just watched oppenheimer and it was terrifying, yet mezmorizing all at the same time. The ending was chilling 😞😞😞🤯🤯🤯
I got chills and cried at the end
4:41 that has to be some of the worst film watching advice i've heard. Even for a 2 hour film, the first 15 minutes are not the entire experience, and Oppenheimer changes dramatically after the bomb test scene. Suggesting that 15 minutes is the same as the whole 3 hour movie is not only absurd but just flat out not true at all.
i'm a physics and Chemistry teacher, so imma love this.
What was she expecting, it’s a damn biopic lol
nope it needed more nukes according to her
she also said it is boring compared to other similar biopics. She seemed to have liked Theory of Everything, or at least said, that it's the better movie.
She also liked blackberry and Air
I watched this movie and I thought it was amazing. I also felt like at no point were you expected to understand physics.
Real, I actually listen to physics lectures on the regular and there were numerous points in the film where they might've brought up some idea (neutron reflection) and if you knew what they were referring to, great. It kinda added to the moment because you knew where they were going with it. Same thing with the scientists. Its cool if you can recognize Fermi, Heisenberg, or Feynman. Again, it kinda adds to the moment when you know them. But you don't NEED to know them or the stuff they're talking about to understand what Oppenheimer is going through. A lot of the physics stuff mentioned in it was really surface level and really just there to set up the substance of the movie, which was the drama.
Interstellar is probably more along the lines of ACTUALLY needing to understand the physics to also get the art. But that's because Interstellar is a sci-fi while Oppenheimer is a historical drama that just has science as a backdrop and the motivation (along with WW2) for the characters doing what they do.
I get the feeling Grace is just blonde and has a tiktard attention span and anytime anything outside of her purview is mentioned, she gets thrown for a loop as her brain resets, regardless of how tangential it was in passing.
Swap Cillian Murphy with a black lead and watch how this movie turns out great according to her
After hearing the comment about the film grain and scratches on the imax print, I’m even more hype to see this film. It’s giving old Hollywood epic .
Unfortunately, the same technology that maginfies the fine points in the movie, magnifies the imperfections of the print. I am sure that affected her perception of the film.
@@wimpymcsteel4458I mean, it's film, the tangible imperfections of it are part of the experience. I get if someone doesn't like that, but they should expect it.
Yeh especially as a supposed film reviewer - her view makes no sense. This film is for cinephiles - she clearly hasn’t studied cinematography/filmography and what film grain looks like
This is the same person who said Barbie was one of the greatest films of all time 😂
Umm...yeah thats how opinions work. Some might consider a spider man movie to be the greatest movie of all time, some might not. That's just how opinions work. Glad I could educate you
@@samkj1953👏🏻👏🏻
@@samkj1953 ya but opinions also have to make sense i cant say thor 4 is best marvel movie or she hulk is the best superhero series then i will be called dumb.. And criticizing a movies over points which are not intented to show like i am criticizing horror movie because it is not funny...
@@chiragrajput8818 true, I agree with you
You don't need high intelligence or interest in space to enjoy Interstellar. Proof: Me
Every other review I've heard praised RDjr saying he'll be nominated for an Oscar. I'll have to see for myself. Nolan movies have been spotty for me as of late but this one looked compelling
Grace must have slept through history class
I don't think she skipped gender studies and feminism classes cause it's clearly showing here
Granted, Oppenheimer is no Barbie...
Yep totally different goals despite the memes…
How is this lady a movie critic? This review sounds like someone who didn’t watch football explaining football to you
I’m not even a Nolan stan, but saying this movie, titled “Oppenheimer”, was about the horrors of the atomic bomb and not Oppenheimer himself contemplating unleashing the bomb to the world told me all I needed to know about this review and sadly, more bad takes followed
You lost me at interestelar, C-mon on girl!!! WTF
ofc she didn't like it.... brain
Oppenheimer isn't about likeable leads it's about the greed of the establishments that brought about the creation of thousands of nuclear weapons. No one here is meant to be morally perfect.
What qualifications does she have to be a critic? People have overhyped her.
Saw it last night. It was good. Surprised she didn't like this but fits if she thinks interstellar was bad
I absolutely loved this movie. Could’ve done without the nudity but I was fully engrossed and enthralled in this movie from start to finish. But I’m a huge history buff so I loved it.
Yeah, the nudity felt unnecessary, but after hearing Nolan's reasoning it makes sense. He didn't want the movie to be marketed as a PG-13 movie because the themes are subtle and very adult. A lot less of the audience would understand it because a lot more of the audience would be younger. So he added the nude scene to ensure it would be rated R so that it could be marketed as a more adult oriented movie. Maybe he should've just added a few more F-bombs, but I get what he was doing.
He shouldn't be the main character? Oppenheimer shouldn't be the main character in a biopic called "Oppenheimer"? This is not a DC movie based on comic book characters lol
This woman REALLY just advised people to walk out of Oppenheimer after the first 15 minutes. Wow. Just wow. Get a hold of yourself Ms. Randolph.
In order to reschedule
To not watch it back to back with Barbie and instead watch it another day... did you actually listen?
@@DiosaDelOscura I did actually listen and she said "you'll know if you like Oppenheimer within the first 15-20 minutes, that's basically what the movie is". Which is an incredibly stupid thing to say lol.
@@cmbotch5739 How…? Saying the movie has a constant tone is nothing bad
@@DiosaDelOscura She never said anything about the "tone" 🤦♂️but even if she did, I've never determined whether or not I liked an entire movie based off of the "tone" of the first 15-20 minutes, so that's silly either way you slice it.
Why can’t you main characters be a jerk?
But as always, the cream rises to the top and this movie I think will be no different...I'm curious to see where the box office is compared to Barbie in about a month, because I know this weekend Barbie is def gonna have a bigger numbers which I am sure will be a point she hammers in, as she should, numbers don't lie...but like I said, a month down the line I have a feeling it's gonna be a different story...we'll see
a 3 hour melodrama on the nuclear bomb...in the height of summer...hmmmmmm
I think most of its money will be overseas. I hear the showtimes are all selling out
@@LavenderrLatte Yeah, it could _explode_ overseas. I don't think it will _bomb_ here or there.
Its a masterpiece and you don't need to understand physics to enjoy it
From now and then these misses from Grace occurs and it’s just sad. Grace just trashed Nolan’s career by calling out Interstellar and Oppenheimer, trashed on amazing work of the whole team, trashed talented acting, especially RDJ’s best work ever, and told regular audience to watch this cinematic craft at home, in a time when sequels and remakes are ruining the movie industry. I thought Grace was a cinephile. People have range of opinions but this is absolutely baseless and ridiculous take on a great original piece.
I just watched american psycho this morning. Now im watching this review of Oppenheimer and grace is saying movies shouldnt have unlikeable leads ...😂😂😂😂
Scorsese uses so many unlikable leads and it never was an issue for him
Breaking Bad anyone?
i'm dying that grace didn't like it
By now its a running joke that she is such a terrible critic to the point she has become the best predictor of whether i will like the movie.
Its like she wants to hate on Nolan purposefully.
