My brother & I saw "Dunkirk" this morning. He rated it 3 stars out of 4. for the typical Nolan flaws of difficult speak recognition( sound track too loud etc.) but an important World War 2 story. My brother is also a history fan, I am not!!

I thought the movie was slow, tedious and confusing, seemed like every male had the same black hair and build. I could not tell one from another. I think the characters said one of the "clones' was a spy but, no one did anything to him. Characters were interchangeable and one dimensional, I really didn't care what happened to any of them. It was a short movie and yet it seemed to go on forever.

The only person I recognized was Mark Ryland, who won best supporting actor (Oscar) for "Bridge of Spies," with Tom Hanks. Ever since that movie I have been looking out for Mark and he is very good. I even went to see the kids movie last year "BFG" -Big friendly giant played by Mark. He was excellent in that too.

Just because Mark was in "Dunkirk" I'll rate in 2.5 out of 4.

My OH is trying to persuade me to see this at an Imax theater, which will cost around $17 each. I'm not even sure I'm interested enough to see it at the regular theater and then we'd only spend $7 each.

Do any of you think the action alone is worth seeing?

 

[drumstick diva]

I didn't.

Well I had hoped to see "Dark Tower," but ratings are in the basement so my brother doesn't want to go (he has the car)

I sooo want to see "Dark Tower"...read most of the books. I bet the ratings had something to do with the complete disregard with who the main character is. I really don't care, but it would have been nice if the movie followed the book..

I don't know the story, haven't read the book, but others were saying that you couldn't shove the story into a movie, that it needed to be a mini-series or something longer.

You've really blitzed it.
