I wouldn't go so far, Interstellar has great cinematography but is mostly a pretentious mess at its chore and out of the 3 Batman movies only one is gold, the rest are just good. He is a great director, but there's no reason to overrate him so much as some do.

That said I can't wait to see Dunkirk.

And we should never talk about the mess that was the 3rd Act ...

The answer is LOVE



Edit: Btw on my previous post I meant Core not Chore, that was typo :P

Just last year Moonlight (the Oscar winner) had a 99 and few years ago Boyhood had a 100

This year alone there is a movie named "Call me by your name" with a 98

Those are artsy movies which always get overrated. Dunkirk is a blockbuster

Your arguments keep getting worse

Dat logic dow

It's not my logic but reviewers'. Just look at the best movies of 2016 - Manchester By the Sea is 3rd with 96. Such a boring, pedestrian movie but because it's got long still shots then it's art - 96/100. The character doesn't even make sense in that movie. Under The Shadow - 84/100. Another movie where not only not much happens but it's your typical horror movie with a stupid character.

At some point people have to realise that there's a clear bias towards movie that are considered art movies.

I wasn't posting an argument. Just pointing out a fact.

I agree but not every arthouse movie is overrated. Nolan movies are sometimes overrated and they're blockbusters

Here is the problem, your taste, Manchester by the Sea was a wonderful movie, definitely top 3 movies of 2016 for me.

But as a general rule of thumb, arthouse movies are overrated. And a lot of blockbusters are overrated but they almost never reach the heights of the scores of art movies.

You'll often find that 1 gimmick that reviewers love is long shots of the character staring into nothingness. Looking at the sea for a whole minute or similar. Or you see a character doing a menial task for up to a minute.

It was dull. The character was dull and unsympathetic. The pace was slow and they tried to show his grief but I can't keep watching a guy do mundane things just for the director to add minutes to his movie.
