Yep, you’re right. You see, I have only two and a half brain cells, as I stated many times in the past.
I agree with basically everything that you stated here… except for the Red Team-Blue Team sequence, it was confusing as hell imo. It felt like I could only understand what was going on there only after a second or third rewatch… and I probably will not rewatch it ever.
But a few solid moments don’t change the fact that the movie has a weak plot, all over the place pacing, dumb dialogues, mediocre acting, uninteresting and bland main characters (whose names I didn’t bother to remember) and completely stupid stereotypical main villain (a rich Russian guy who wants to destroy the world and has a weak helpless wife who only exists to complain about her husband being a terrible person, how original). Like, there’s no way this circus can be taken seriously.
Phew, I can finally rant about this movie being terrible (in my personal opinion) without everyone around looking at me weirdly.
Yes, I absolutely agree with this. For me, Tenet was the most anticipated movie of 2020, since I’m a big fan of Nolan’s other works. Imagine my disappointment after actually watching it…
Well, I can’t really agree or disagree, I never read the book and thought the movie was a fairly solid one. But I suppose books are generally better than their movie adaptations. Though LotR is an exception for me.
I feel like we’re starting to get a little off-topic (I think that this conversation fits in the “Unpopular Opinions about Movies” better), so…
I dunno, I prefer this one:
A true classic.
