Okay (deep breath): I just don't think Oppenheimer is a great movie. It is fine, and it has some great acting performances. But I think it addressed a very interesting and important subject in a pretty uninteresting way. I just wasn't drawn in by the film at all. In fact: I don't think Nolan has made a great film since Inception (2010!). Dunkirk was ok and visually stunning, but I also felt cold toward it. Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar, Tenet-all varying levels of bad to me. It pains me, because I think The Dark Knight is the best super hero movie of all time.

My wife and I are on the same page about this, but my Mom is legit disappointed in me that I hold this viewpoint. She only ever gets mad at me about my taste in movies. Years ago, after we saw it in the theater, I told her that I thought Titanic looked great but had no script and she didn't take my calls for a few days. She is at least still talking to me now that I have revealed my scandalous take on Oppenheimer. :)
