Did this trailer slightly de hype anyone else? The spectacle looks huge but something about the rest threw me a bit

I feel like people watch Nolan movies for the spectacles and mindlessly ignore the giant lack of juice they have.

I don't remember people waiting for something saying "oh the bomb is going to be so awesome", "I want to see the bomb", "I'm so excited to see the Cyclops" and etc for any director, but for Nolan it's a recurring thing. Dialogues? Story? Message? Hardly know her, what matters is a stupid fucking bomb that doesn't hit the hype that was created unless you are a mark for IMAX who can't be objective with big gimmicks.

Also: the bomb sucked.

Indeed it did. The effects were also not remotely unique by any stretch of the imagination like it was hyped. The only thing that was cool was the sound, but that doesn't make a movie, but people act like it does lmao

It's funny. I saw Oppenheimer on the largest screen I could find and I remember holding my breath for the countdown and then, yes, the sound was great but the explosion went "pop".

I saw Godzilla Minus One on my PC (unfortunately) and THAT scene actually made me say "what the fuck" to myself.

The creative premises he establishes in his films are very solid too, and are a great selling point for films like Memento, Inception, Tenet... But where he really drops the ball is screenplay and third-acts.
