I have also heard a lot of leftwing critiques that seem compelling.

I love Ulysses and James Joyce I can't take a modern movie butchering this old story with shallow boring masculine hero narratives that crowd out reflection on any other aspect of the human condition.

That’s pretty shit. Hollywood is terrible for extorting tax breaks out of countries they want to fill in and then not even even doing that much for the economy and tourism, and Nolan should pay for clean up of this out of all the profits they’re making.

The difference between cosplaying as a fascist, which western consumers tend to despise, and actually behaving like one, which those same consumers reward with open wallets and high praise.

Nolan has alienated more than a few A-list actors with his directing style. He's got a work-product which constantly glazes militarism, valorizes authoritarianism, and takes itself far too seriously to afford room for a bit of humor. After that, he's just Michael Bay minus some explosions. Brilliant cinematographer. But the underlying work never fails to disappoint.

he wasnt the only one, others in hollywood did the same thing. like mythic quest dozens of people got covid early on in the lockdowns, because they were ignoring safety standards.

Elliot Page as Sinon was.....unremarkable. For as much of a deal was made about his casting, he was onscreen for very little time, and his appearance in the underworld was so caked in mud and filth that any subtle emotive work that Page might have been hired for was lost.

If Nolan wasn't such a coward we woulda had Jason Mantzoukas as Odysseus. Now there's an unhinged Greek who placed his infant son befoe a plough to try and get out of the war, pissed off a god and had half his crew turned into pigs

Noncompete contract with Supergiant.

The short version: The right-wing outrage machine is firing on all cylinders because Nolan dared to cast non-white and queer actors in some minor roles. They are now in the stage where they invent all kinds of conspiracies to claim that the movie is a box office bomb and Elon Musk is now fully on-board too. It's their usual playbook.

Nolan cast a black woman as a spartan greek who was conceived of a woman raped by a god cosplaying a swan. Right wingers demand historical accuracy, dammit.

Most certainly, because those angry fools are also very stupid.
