Oppenheimer
8/10
Is it perfect? No. Is it long, and could it have been shorter? Yes.
But it is very well made, and the performances are terrific. Several actors/actresses give performances as good or better than any they’ve given previously and that includes very good ones in their past.
Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. will undoubtedly be grabbing Academy Award nominations and Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and even Jason Clarke could also.
Saw it at an Imax theater and was glad there was a theater-worthy movie to see.
Not to pick on marvel, but it was nice to see something outside of that universe still being made.
Best picture and best director noms are almost certain as well.
There are plenty of people who felt it could have been shorter, and it is probably not for everybody, but it was a three hour movie that did not feel too long to me at all. I thought the subject was interesting and well done. I cannot speak to how much poetic license they took. I don’t think it got too preachy overall just well-made.
