MODERATORS
The writing in any Nolan film is always the weakest part, and if he wasn't so good at doing gimmicky shit that looks good, nobody would think his movies are good. He's good at making good looking scenes, but he sucks at telling a story with them, that's why he's a mid director at best
He's like a slightly higher-brow and more broody Michael Bay
ETA: doesn't mean I don't like his movies, you just have to know what to expect from a Nolan movie.
Our AGE OF BRONZE IS COLLAPSING
I've called him "middle brow Michael Bay" for the longest time. Entertaining movies with decent enough spectacle and composition, but yeah nothing profound lol.
And just like Bay, I'd say his movies are typically very entertaining, even if they aren't fine cinema.
Oh yeah 100% agree. It's fun shlock to watch, and it's also true that the writing sucks in both directors' movies.
He should find a decent or stellar writing partner and just focus on handling the directing...
The movie looks good?
I watched it and it's a good watch, far less boring or brooding than I expected honestly. It's just bad writing considering the Odyssey.
As someone who didn't watch this movie, is are there any in-lore explanations of why any of the relationships are technically legal and not gross?
