One part Great Man Theory with tons of navel gazing and genuflecting to a handful of star figures. One part Sorkin-esque courtroom drama.
Zero parts fun.
Three fucking hours long.
Don’t waste your money on this shit bag, folks.

I’m starting to realize everyone on this site has baby brain movie opinions
Please enlighten us with your galaxy brain opinions
Adults are not allowed to consume entertainment unless it is sufficiently ponderously grimdark. The arbiter of adulthood has spoken.
I think it’s a maturity thing. There’s an outward need to be contrarian, to be seen. And often just yeah baby brained poor analysis of film
Calling people “baby brained” is totally not contrarian whatsoever and there’s no possible motive to be seen as superior for looking down on other people that aren’t consuming “mature” enough treats.
My treats are actually really cool and underground you probably haven’t heard of them because you’re not cool like me
Dae le rare multibillion dollar franchise gems.
I don’t think it’s a commentary of the maturity of the treats. I think it’s going out of your way to say that there is zero value or anything interesting in a movie like Oppenheimer is just reductive and silly. It just speaks to having a pretty unrefined sense of film analysis. Notice here I’m not arguing for the merits of Oppenheimer. There’s often a sort of weird desire to compete with one another in left spaces to be more radical than others, like “oh that’s your opinion? My opinion is even more extreme than that. I win.” Which leaks into conversations like this in weird ways, and I think that’s a generally a of personal immaturity, not the maturity of the thing itself. And also, “baby brained” is just colloquial shorthand. It’s a silly little phrase, but it’s kind of straw man to be like “oh you used a widespread internet phrase, who’s the immature one now?”
I disagree; calling an entire community “baby brained” just seems arrogant to me and I stand by that.
“Just joking, unless” is an easy out for that, of course.
What would the “unless” part of that be? It was tongue in cheek
No “unless” was said by that person. I added the unless because that was the implication of the “just joking” excuses after the fact.
This really is getting tiresome at this point.
