Is this going to be like Starship Troopers, where everyone comes back a decade later and says it was good, actually?

TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 1 day agoThe professional reviews are hilariously mixed, I’m pretty sure Coppola unwittingly made a movie that also serves as a litmus test to see how pretentious and up your own ass you are.
The honest reviews are basically, this made no sense, I don’t know what he was thinking. The positive reviews can be boiled down to “if you have to ask, you’re not sophisticated enough to understand”.

I think Starship Troopers had the opposite problem where people weren’t thinking about it hard enough.

Is it more or less pretentious than Tennet?
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Tenet was fucking cool as shit, call it what you want, person who probably never made a movie.

What movie did you make?

All the ones I’m shitting on in this thread.

I’d say less, because the movie makes itself completely clear that it’s a fable about power and greed.

Sounds good to me, thanks

The reception of it appears to be, but prob only because Coppola is seen as more prestigious by critics because he never made a batman movie.

I don’t think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious. It might even make him moreso, if only because of The Dark Knight. He was able to pour even more money into whatever he wanted to after that.

don’t think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious.
I don’t either, but the critics that love art house movies prob do.

And as is typical the truth is somewhere in the middle.
