Critics and Moviegoers are so wrong about Dunkirk- Boring Snorefest that only keeps you awake because you expect a Nolan movie to be awesome- Sooo many spoilers!!!

I don't really agree, though I still think it's truly overrated. It's the best war movie I've seen though, I think every war movie is between horrid and meh. The best one before Dunkirk being Saving Private Ryan. Which was a 6/10 movie at best imho.

The reception in my cinema was pretty poor though. No claps at the ending, people leaving in the middle of the movie and ton of comments about boredom. But, to be frankly, this movie, unlike every Nolan movie before, doesn't have any mainstream appeal. It's too minimalistic, it has almost no dialogue, and it's not fast-paced enough to be of general interest imho.

Seen someone else say that. Is that an American thing or something? I've literally never seen that happen before. Would be really weird to me.

It happens occasionally in the Us, but usually only at the earliest, enthusiast screenings for Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. At most screenings, people just walk out and talk amongst themselves.

 

As for the movie itself, I have yet to see it, but would it be best for a movie of this type to have mainstream action scenes? In real life, it was rather brutal, and the movie is likely a testament to the impressive endurance and courage of the British forces, who survived despite their fear, suffering and inflicted losses.
