I like what Nolan is doing in his recent movies. He built a fail-safe reputation for himself and is demanding his viewers to become more intelligent if they want to watch his movies. The audacity of the man to dictate people to watch his creation in its innate form rather than compromising his vision to accommodate commercial elements is truly incredible!! Glad to see the wheels turning !!

I'm pleasantly surprised with the large fan following Nolan has in India. Well deserved.

The best part about the movie is how they portrayed Einstein’s character taking us decades back and it felt so surreal , it was literally a delight to the eyes

"Gods dont play dice " "Power stays in shadow" " The medal wasnt for you,but for them" And the ending sequence with Einstein... Phew... Best movie ever

Give Nolan an Oscar already. Even Cillian Murphy, so so brilliant. The eyes, showing what he has created, what he has become. Terrifyingly brilliant. Robert Downey Jr further stamped he's a great actor.

Oppenheimer is Nolan's most Different and Detailed Project till date. Its a character study and courtroom drama more than anything else. Definitely not for everyone, But if you like dialogue heavy and documentary style films, This could be one of the best cinematic experiences you can have. One of the best sound design i've heard in a while. Cilian, RDJ and Emily knocked it out of the park. The tension during the trinity test will be something i won't be forgetting for a long time. In Summary, I was delighted i read American Prometheus before watching the film and would suggest the same to anyone who has the time and interest. Believe it or not, Nolan doesn't miss.

That “Crush Barbie” is soo unnecessary even if it is going to cross it in numbers. The two movies can co exist, one does not have to “crush” the other.

I’m looking at 6 oscars already Best actor, best actress, best actor in supporting role, best movie, best director and best background score.. If there is another movie to top this, wow what a spectacle that would be!!!!

Right after the success of trinity test, when everyone started celebrating at the site & Oppenheimer shakes hand with everybody, I almost cried in pain.. Between those cheers from the military people, theatre was pin drop silence, its crazy how that scene transferred a collective sorrow among the audience... The dilemma of pragmatism, moralities & evil was visible.. Another scene I liked was when Oppenheimer starts realizing while giving speech at Los Alamos & everyone taps their feet.. it gave me goosebumps...

I just saw the movie and still can't believe what greatness of cinema I have experienced. This movie is just so great, Nolan has perfectly executed this drama and Cillian's acting surely makes him a strong contender for an OSCAR.. everyone RDJ, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, and all supporting cast have done a fantastic job

I absolutely agree with your take on how Indian cinema still shy away from portraying flawed real life characters specially political ones..where as Hollywood movies dares to even show the dark history and mistakes committed by their own country..we really need more real tales like this and preferably without any drama,life threat to the creators and absurd news room debates

Went to watch the 00:00 show in Mumbai and almost every screen (8) was playing Oppenheimer in Cinepolis Thane at roughly 3:30 when everyone came out at the end the mall looked more alive then than at 9 am on a regular day ! Nolan has just reached the peak of fandom in India

The scene when he delivered his speech after the bomb was dropped left me in awe. I was sitting in the theater, utterly mesmerized and speechless.

The fact that the theatre I watched have no subtitles and me not being super familiar with watching english films without subtitles , but was able understand the emotions and the plot just with the visuals is beyond mind blowing! That climax & bgm & the setup to the atomic bomb is just 🔥🔥

The thumbnail for this video could've been more positive than what you chose. I am a fan and really like your analysis of movies, and there's a reason why I don't watch film companion now because it lost it's authenticity and was biased in reviews. I understand the game of click bait but the thumbnail portrays as if you are almost wishing for Barbie to fail in comparison to Oppenheimer. I value your opinion, hence now that you've reached a place of influence, it's even more important for you to be mindful of what you are putting out there. Only wishing best for you, A concerned fan.

This movie was literally so beautiful but also haunting. It isn't technically heavy like other Nolan films, but it's very emotionally heavy. There's this ominous, intense feel throughout, but then, fitting for the subject. I really liked the scene of Oppenheimer being questioned about his morality in court, where they repeatedly increase the number of casualties from the atomic bombings. It was like his conscience questioning him head-on.

There is no need to choose between Oppenheimer or Barbie. We can enjoy both contrasting experiences.

Saw Oppenheimer yesterday. This was really gold. Never in a long time had i felt such anticipation, eeriness, amazement for a movie while watching it. This was an absolute masterpiece with a killer dialogue at the end. Kindly do not miss it!!!

"Albert remember when we talked about the calculations of when we press that button, we will possibly start a chain reaction that will destroy the world" " yes, what about it?" "i think we did" OMG the dialogues in this film are so well written Goosebumps galore throughout the film. Experiencing this in Imax with laser was worth every single penny Everyone nailed it and RDJ should get an Oscar for his performance. The sound design was bloody brilliant. Aaah....This is CINEMAA

Please change the Thumbnail where you are saying CRUSH the Barbie. Do not forget BARBIE is written and directed by talented Greta Gerwig. Let audience decide which movie to watch.

The thumbnail is very off putting. Focus on Oppenheimer's review. Why do you need Barbie to be "crushed"?

Did you really have to put " crush barbie" as the thumbnail?? Can you not degrade one just to praise another.... This is a great film but it doesn't take away barbie's glory

I liked the fact that instead of showing the aftermath of bombing on screen we see it through the experience of Oppenheimer. I think it was a brilliant choice to not use bombing as shock value. Loved it.

I have rooted for Cillian for the longest time. Ever since he did Peaky Blinders you won't believe I was desperately waiting for him to be the Nolan lead finally. When this film was announced I screamed. Yet to watch it. But with your reviews I am content. If he doesn't win Oscar next year I don't know what to say.

i dont really like commercial movies but oppenheimer had me astounded, this is as good as commercial cinema can be near perfection. The cinematography, the soundtrack, the acting and finally the direction all perfectly tuned like a symphony. I would highly recommend everyone to get this experience and i assure you cillian murphy will sweep you by your feet. Wont be shocked to see Oppenheimer sweep oscars next year.

Agreed with every last word you said about the movie… only exception being the thumbnail. Why crush barbie? You could’ve gone for something better than that. Incase you haven’t watched barbie yet, it is amazing as well. And I personally loved both the movies. It was a great weekend for the movies!

I read the book 10 years ago and always wondered why they never made a movie out of this ! The book is exceptionally good !

After literally 3 years, my dad told me to book tickets for a movie as he wants to watch Oppenheimer on the big screen. I’m looking forward to watching it tonight. *Sigh* We don’t have IMAX here but it will be an amazing experience. Amazing review and your video has me hyped even more.

I don't know if people are afraid to give negative reviews about this movie, as they may be labelled unintellectual, but the movie left me unsatisfied. I didn't find it boring but I also didn't expect 70-80% of the movie to be about the interrogation and Oppenheimer defending the accusations against him! Also, I expected to see the bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the attack on Pearl Harbor. I know it's a biography, but 5-7 minutes of those scenes would have been enough (especially when they marketed it to be cinematic spectacle shot on in IMAX 70mm) Also, I expected some more context on what was happening in Japan. Overall a good movie, but certainly not the best Nolan movie in my opinion. This is coming from someone who researched about the world war events and the life of Oppenheimer before going to watch the movie.

Just saw it, magnum opus will be an understatement, the climatic conversation between Albert Einstein & R. Oppenheimer would go down in annals of history as one of the most iconic cinematic experience

I felt the lead couple stole the show completely, especially when his ex-lover's suicide is revealed - damn powerful scene!! And the scene at the end when she refuses to shake Teller's hand is one of the best for me!! Exquisitely powerful expressions of disgust on an actor's face are a rare thing in these days of item-girl like role for them in movies!

I saw it in PVR with English Subtitles. The movie is so engrossing. The only time I felt bored was for around 10-15 minutes when the courtroom drama was streched too far. But then Nolan changed the pace with music. The man surely knows how to keep the audience hooked throughout its journey.

Time flew like a wind and I was sad to leave the theatre, I had read about Oppenheimer a lot before so this non linear style of Nolan didn't confuse me at all and I was so happy to see all the faces of Oppenheimer's life were shown in the movie. The music during the Trinity test, raised my heart beat.

I think people easily forget that, RDJn gave a Chaplin like performance in his 20's while battling his inner demons.

Glad that such movies are made without considering audiences as dumb. In india we mostly get dumb down movies like mission mangal

I think subtitles should be included with every screening as it makes it easier for people who have English as second language enjoy the movie to fullest. Also sometimes dialogues can be missed these days due to sound designs.

As a huge fan of Nolan and dialogue driven dramas, I left the theatre totally speechless. It's been some time since a film captivated me as much and forced me to contemplate to this extent. A genuine masterclass of filmmaking!

Why does the title have to downplay Barbie? They're completely diff genres na?

I have come to accept the fact that in recent years Nolan’s movies aren’t for everyone, they command a certain level of intelligence and expectation from the audience which makes the experience more engaging if one is willing to be enthralled by the overall engulfing nature of Nolan’s storytelling. And on the other end of the spectrum, there are viewer who tends to go to movies which gave them an escape, a release.

As impressed I am by the film, the thing that made me love this film so much is that finally the world could see and acknowledge Cillian Murphy for the once in a generation thespian he is!

Cillian Murphy is gifted actor of this generation. After Peaky Blinders 5 seasons, those who are his fans have zero doubt about his acting talent and the range of expressions he delivers through his gaze. He is solely motivated by content and design of a of the character he plays, titular role or not, am sure he does not care. Also, Christopher Nolan has always pushed the bar a notch higher with each and every movie he created. Just brilliant !!

What a shame! as an experienced movie reviewer if you don't understand Barbie and Oppenheimer are two different movies. You don't have to hate Barbie.

I just watched the movie!! And I agree with most of the comments here - this movie is not everyone's piece of cake (some guy was watching a video in my theatre - i was able to hear it distinctly 😑) I was not able to connect with the film for like 30-45 mins (and I think a lot of people didn't) because I wasn't familiar with all the characters involved and the later life of Oppenheimer or the events that took place. Lets be honest it's their history not ours so if we are not familiar with it we will not get it. Also the movie is fast paced. But as the movie progresses you just flow in it - as in you get the gist of what's going on and who's against who and what not. My theatre did not show subs for some reason so some of the dialogues went over the head 😅 as there are characters with different accents. But during all the chaos you feel what Oppenheimer must have felt. Murphy has brilliantly portrayed this and the background score perfectly compliments his performance. I want to rewatch it but so not in the local theatre. I get why big screens are necessary for such movies. If anyone reads my comment (which i doubt - it went too long) - I urge you to first understand the genre and then comment anything about it. Because as I said before - it's not everyone's piece of cake.

Fantastic character study of a brilliant mind with performances to behold. Murphy, Downing, Damon, Blunt. This is probably Nolan's easy to understand film 8:36 s after Dunkirk if you know how complex his films can be. A masterpiece must say.

I saw the movie today. Cillian Murphy can convey so much only through his eyes. Never seen that before in an actor.

Saw it yesterday (in the US) in an almost fully packed IMAX theater. Here's what I figured - if you know the story of Oppenheimer (like I do), then you'll be heavily invested for the whole 3 hours. You know the characters, their background, their future, their overall involvement and contribution to the story. But if you don't know the story beforehand (like my wife), you lose interest rather quickly. I noticed my wife lose interest within the first hour because it's hard following 3 different events (life story of the main character as a whole, his own hearing, and RDJ's character hearing), especially if you're not used to Nolan's work (it was her first Nolan movie experience). That is where the "this movie is boring" critics are coming from, they don't know the story beforehand. I can assure you a majority of people in India who have gone, or are going, to see the movie too don't know the story of Oppenheimer beforehand, they just don't want to miss out on the Nolan movie experience or miss out on the hype train. Let's be honest, the movie itself isn't really introducing you to the events that led to the creation of the atom bomb, it expects you to come in with a certain amount of knowledge into the movie theater. Now, getting all of that out of the way - I thought the movie was brilliant. As you said, every cast member played their part brilliantly, and the revelation at the end was executed brilliantly. I was hesitant going in, not looking forward to the 3 hour run time, but coming out of it I think every minute was worthwhile. Someone else could have got their hands on this and stretched it into a 10 episode mini series (and shown on HBO or Netflix), stretching out events during the creation of the bomb, exploring Oppenheimer's personal life more, maybe dedicated an entire episode to how he changed his mind about the bomb AFTER it was used, and it would have been brilliant, but 3 hours did wonderfully as well (although I would have liked a deeper dive on the last point - how he worked on the bomb knowing it's destructive powers, after then working against the US making more, and bigger, bombs after WWII, but there are literary works out there that do that). All in all, if you haven't seen this movie yet and don't know anything about the man himself, I highly recommend you take an hour out before watching the movie and watch a couple of videos here on KZfaq that talk a little bit about who he was, what he did, and what was done to him after. Nothing too long, you can get the basic idea in 10~15 min videos. That will give you a general idea of what is happening in the movie once you sit down. Put it this way - you wouldn't get a whole lot out of a movie based on the life of APJ Abdul Kalam if you didn't know anything about beforehand, or a biopic on Mahatma Gandhi if you hadn't learnt about him in school. You'll be doing yourself a huge favor.

You are the most sensible reviewer amidst those whose personal opinions always creep into there review. Appreciate your effort to stay neutral and do your job with utmost honesty. I am not the one to write a comment but you deserve to be appreciated .

Finally, the review is here. I was getting old waiting for it

I would say there is also the feel of cosmic horror in this film. It's a horror once unleashed and cannot be stopped. We can only pray that the inevitable destruction doesn't consume us.

“THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT THE GOAT”

I completely agree with your review. Thank you!! also good shout out at the subtitles. best to have it

I watched it today and I must say its a masterpeice. When people will watch twice or thrice, they will enjoy it more, nolan directs his movies in such way that his movies becomes entertaining when you have watched it earlier.

lol the only ones who say the film was boring is because they are used to watching bwood or tollywood movies who end in 2 hours and are filled with constant meaningless action and nonsensical dialouges. the film was a bit slow in 1st half but was never boring.... i might have read this before but i didnt even remember that heisenberg was german and was working on atom bomb of his own...or that neils bohr was smuggled to usa...and frankly old alber einsteins words made me think that he wasted last 30 years of his life in a drunken stupor not because he couldnt unify the universal field theory but because he knew that if he completed that something worse than atom bomb might happen...just my imagination obviously but given how scientists are treated in our world i dnt think m very far

That one scene , when they're doing the trinity test , and Robert says I am the power and then you hear the explosion, nothing short of a cinematic genius 😱😱😱

कालोऽस्मि लोकक्षयकृत् वृद्धो लोकान्समाहर्तुमिह प्रवृत्तः॥ Sanskrit Verse from Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32) Meaning: I am terrible time the destroyer of all beings in all worlds, engaged to destroy all beings in this world Oppenheimer's interpretation: "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds"

I had the pleasure to watch this movie in Imax & I must say what an amazing experience it was.. unlike his other movies with great action sequences this movie stands strong with completely other plot.. A must watch some scenes really brought shivers down the spine❤ Is it just me or did anyone else got reminded of Rocketry while watching Oppenheimer??

there were lot of events which gave the goosebumps but at climax conversation between Einstein and Oppenheimer had my eyes widened that they both were aware of the consequence

Oppenheimer is pure cinema! The silence inside the film in some places feels so loud. The second half itself is a film. Great. Eyes of Cillian, Anger of Matt, Nature of Blunt and heavenly acting by RDJ and other stellar cast were awesome. If Nolan, Cillian and Rdj do not win Oscar for this I don't know then why Oscars are conducted. And truly now Nolan has become cinema himself. In future when the history of cinema will be written Nolan will be ignited in bold letters with his films. Hats off to the film crew and the music director. Loved this film. It deserves 4.8/5.0 stars.

I really clapped the way your intro😂❤

The movie makes you come back for more and I would definitely be giving it another watch. Pure film making where each and every department comes together to create this masterpiece ❤ Also ngl I have been waiting for your review to drop in since coming back from the theatre. They are always precise, honest and the one of the best out there 🙌👏👏

I guess both RDJ and Cilian murphy will be there for the nominations this year, most probably for RDJ the best supporting actor category and for Cliian the best actor category.

This is the first time I was waiting for a review form you..well done

Great that you are reviewing both the movies in 2 separate videos. Your insta gave one poster and felt all will be covered in kne which would not be fair to either of the movies. ps: please suggest some good links to read before i watch this.

OOO I loved this movie.... For the first half I was a little sceptical about it but oo man I was wrong, by the time it ended I fell in love with this movie.... Specially last one hour and 30 minutes was outstanding....... PS. The boom explosion scene literally gave me goosebumps and due to the silence my excitement and tenssion was so so high that my heart went over 120 bpm and I got a notification form my smartwatch....it was straight up epic...

If Cillian doesn't get an oscar this year for this extraordinary performance 🔥 I'll stop watching movies 🙄 The fact that the film is 3 hours long and he is there for 2 and half hours 🔥

Finally something I have been waiting for a long long time :) can't wait...

- In my top 5 Nolan film. Cillian Murphy took the lion's share of acting. And he freaking killed it. RDJ has given his career best performance for me. Even emily blunt in the last five minutes. - The explosion was hauntingly beautiful. The entire trinity test scene had me at the edge of my seat. - Honestly I found the sound design the best of all Nolan films. You could hear the sound grains in the desert against the crackling sound of the neutron bombardment during the explosion. - The Politics and Communism represented in the movie was so intriguing to me. - I had no doubts about the Cinematography. Similar vibes to Dunkirk. - The portrayal of the complicated relationship of Robert and Kitty was one of the standouts for me. - Lastly the soundtrack. Ludwig Elevated the scenes with his magic. "Destroyer of Worlds" which plays in the last scene is on the loop on my phone. Watched in IMAX. Anything less than IMAX will not justify it.

As someone who enjoys both serious WW2 films and girly comedies, I’ve never been more excited for a weekend.

R.D.J. brilliantly potrays Lewis, he is one of the most vile villian which comes to my mind and the way he was chewing scenery with Nolan. He was my personal highlight

So beautifully described Anmol👏🏻👏🏻 the nuance of story telling by Nolan, cast and crew🤌🏻 was glued to the screen the whole time…

The last 1 hour kept me at the edge of the seat.. and the haunting background score was like an icing on the cake.. I wish i had watched it with subtitles to understand more about the technical stuff leading to trinity test.. overall it’s definitely a MASTERPIECE.. i read a lot of people making fun of this movie & terming it as a bore fest. I just smile at those comments & move on..

Hi, just wanted to say that ur thumbnail was very off putting. Like u can praise Oppenheimer without having to put down Barbie uk what I mean. Maybe that wasn't your intention, but it put me on the wrong path. I just felt that as a movie reviewer you have to keep ur biases apart (ik u don't need me telling you how to do ur job) but I just felt v off by that thumbnail. Otherwise nice video.

Have been a Murphy fan since his '28 days later' and 'Sunshine' days..so so so glad to see him becoming better and better in literally every movie he does💖 really excited to watch this!

“God don’t play dice”, I have the same reaction after the movie like how can a director can show everything in a single movie but one thing you forgot to mention how perfect was movie score is, like I literally have goosebumps

I am going tomorrow and was waiting for your review. Weird because everyone across the globe has reviewed this one. I was waiting for the not so good. Thank you!

I was expecting some never-seen-before atomic explosion but was heavily disappointed. Please don't go to cinema expecting cinematical masterpiece like Interstellar or Dunkirk or Tenent or DK. It's a master class of screenplay and expulsion of acting and everyone seems to be in the race of it. This movie begs your 100% attention (all of Nolan movie does) and need to have some history and science knowledge. Everyone is praising Cillian for carrying the entire movie on his shoulder but I bet my left testicle that RDJ will be nominated and inshaallah may win Oscar for Support actor. Goddamn that actor was so lost in Marvel movies. Good to see him perform like he did in Chaplin and Judge. *Spoiler alert* I was wondering poor guy Rami Malik didn't get to say a word in the movie and then in climax; He said the most pivotal stuff. This is such a fine addition to the history of cinema.

I have been following your reviews from quite some time now because of one main reason HONESTY, Before giving 2-3 hours to some movie I wanna make sure its watchable that's why I go around reviews. TBH many a times I have closed your reviews midway and I don't know why. I feel your the vocabulary you use is not main stream and I want little simple words to really enjoy the narration.

That’s how a biography presented ❤ The legend christopher nolan 😍

Really happy when actors like Murphy got global fame first with playing Shelby And hopefully have a financial block with Oppenheimer

A Nolan Masterpiece! Brilliant storytelling, cast, sound, cinematography and direction.

Hey Jammy, what do you think about the recent controversy about Bhagvad Gita scene btwn Cilian and Florence? IMO i think it was unnecessary and I did felt like "ye kuch zyada nhi ho gya?".Just my opinion.

Was waiting for this

The movie was pure Magic and madness , Cillian Murphy's performance is sheer brilliance and Nolan had outperformed himself 🔥🔥

" Christopher Nolan is the director the Oscars deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So they’ll snub him. Because he can take it. Because he’s not an Oscar baiting hack. He’s a silent visionary.A Watchful Director. A Dark Knight. " ❤

Was just waiting for this review😅

The background music killed it with perfect scenes.

I didn't enjoyed OPPENHEIMER as much as i expected. May be i am not that intellectual enough or intelligent enough to understand but it was mid for me.

I heard a lot of people say that this is just another Nolan movie But a just another movie is also one of the greatest Biopic of all time

Oppenheimer's denouement is one the best that I have seen in the last few years, and is one of the best ever. Some scenes will go down as icons of cinema history. I have missed big scale drama with powerful and impressionable writing. This film is technical wizardry.

The movie has a very subtle humour..... throughout.....its a masterpiece..ni doubt...as a physics lover...it was a delight to watch....... Genius is not a gaurantee for wisdom... dialogues like this...❤

an absolute masterpiece and i feel sad for the people who can't see the gem the have been offered.

I watched this yesterday and really like it. Also there were few people who asked my review on this movie and I tried to explain but I'm not good with putting thoughts into words but now luckily I can share this video and say this is my exact review!~

Been waiting for this! And very happy to know that Mumbai shows were sold out. Shows where I live in the UK were COMPLETELY sold out even the ones on Friday morning!!!

Loved this movie 🍿 every scene had me engaged the entry we of every character keeps you hooked to see what they bring to the table. Nolan doesn’t look at film making as one dimensional. He is a legend!

Watched it at 00:10 am Imax show, the interval felt irritating, it deserves a marathon watch, such is the power of engaging the audience.

Super review JammyP !!

Your comment on politician's names being used in the movie but that not being possible in India was so bang on. No director would be able to do so if they had to depict the darker side of an Indian politician. The censor would never have the galls to clear such scenes and the movie would end up being cancelled even before it's release.

You really said ‘Crush Barbie’😂😂😂 Only in your dreams lol

The ending man the goddamn ending 🤯

The last scene between Einstein and oppi really stays with you man..
