One of the best movies of the last few years. Everyone knew what this movie was about but I don’t think anyone ACTUALLY knew. Really appreciate how much it dives into the early labor movement in the US and how that influenced Oppenheimer’s actions
Nolan's Opus. An absolute masterpiece. Shortest three hour movie ever. I was gobsmacked and am still a bit shaken after almost a week has passed since I saw it. Will see it again soon .
It felt extremely long to me but in such a good way! It’s a testament to how dense and relentless it is that it felt like an 8 hour movie crammed into 3 hours and I enjoyed every second.
Oppenheimer is a masterpiece. Nolan is a genius. Murphy and Downey Jr delivered the best performances of their careers. The score is brilliant. If I didn't love Interstellar so much, I would say this is Nolan's best work to date. Oh and that ending... goosebumps all over. 10/10
bomb goes off and Oppieheimer says one of the following : -It's right behind me isn't it? -Well, that just happened -Zoo-wee mama -Now I am become Death... that sounded better in my head -uh-oh, that's gonna leave a mark -yikes !
Considering how stacked the cast is, that's an interesting take. Though it's fair to say, it really does seem to be cast for _talent_ rather than _star power,_ so I don't entirely disagree, it's just not something it would occur to me to espouse.
Exactly, and while people might point out that the cast is in fact stacked they're missing the point. None of them were treated like celebrities, I mean there were actors that could be leads in major blockbusters that were just there in the background. Yes the cast is talented but they work in service of the story, not the other way around. Even the cast commented on the environment where it felt like everyone was genuinely working to create a fantastic film. You'd be hard pressed to find a movie of great quality that doesn't want and seek out great actors, why would you punish the writing and other aspects for having good actors? Just cause the actors are good doesn't mean the writing wasn't also good. They elevate each other, that's the essence of a movie. Different aspects both visual and audible coming together to create an interesting experience.
I need to re watch it but it might be the best Nolan movie ive seen. 3 hours of heavy dialogue and ive was gripped the entire time. Definitely didn't feel like 3 hours, and RDJ best performance.
Loved this movie and loved this review but I will add I do not like people calling this a “horror” flick. It definitely has some serious suspense, an intense feeling of impending doom, dark undertones, and an ending that delivers a very sobering and dreadful punch to the gut. But never is this film horror movie or a scary movie.
I’m doing the barbenheimer thing with the fellas, and in an effort to go in as pure as possible, I won’t watch this. Someone please remind me 48 hours from now or don’t and I’ll remember this eventually some day.
@@realchezboi thanks you for the reminder man, it was really great. I honestly think I might like Barbie more just due to how unexpectedly funny it was but Oppenheimer is also super impressive, everyone in that movie was giving 100% effort.
I'm a grown adult but I'm legit kinda worried to go see it with my dad and grandma because of the nudity. 😂 I'm still gonna go because it's a 5/70mm presentation but it'll be awkward.
The amount of negative comments here is astounding. Loved the movie, not even a huge Nolan fan or biopic fan. It takes skill to make a 3 hours walk and talk biopic interesting.
Don't forget that a great deal of movie audiences have the attention span of a gnat and have been conditioned to Marvel superhero movies and being spoonfed everything
lol I watched it with my 14-year-old brother. It's funny to hear you bring that up because he like shrieked and covered his eyes through the whole nudity scenes. I found it quite funny but, yeah, a bit awkward.
Once I had seen this, I got home, and looked up the cast list. And saw Gary Oldman's name. Who the fuck was Gary Oldman in this?!? Ah... Pres Truman.... I never even guessed it was Oldman. Damn chameleon.
Something tells me that this weekend, the boys are going to like the “boy movie” more and the girls are going to like the “girl movie” more. Just a hunch.
Oppenheimer is not a "boy movie" imo. It's more of an "grandpa movie". I see no hype for Oppenheimer outside of the Barbenheimer meme on social media. Hope I'm wrong tho because I love Chris Nolan
@@jeromealday614 I mean, I'm excited to see Oppenheimer because it's a Nolan film. I wouldn't go see it if it was directed by most anybody else, but right now it looks like I'm probably going to see it twice in theaters
@@jeromealday614You just have the movie taste of a child bro you got to get into good films and understand why they’re good and if you weren’t able to tell this movie would be a masterpiece from the trailer then you need to up your game and stop watching marvel films lol
I thought the movie was really good, but I still don't think Nolan can write emotional scenes very well. As soon as a scene is supposed to be heartfelt the dialogue feels sort of alien. There is also a scene toward the end the had me cracking up, where a certain famous scientist appears out of the darkness like a Nick Fury moment.
The lack of any Asian actors in the cast seemed notable, in so far as presenting the impact of the creation of the atomic bomb. With that concern in mind, does the film acknowledge the racial politics and implications of how the bomb was ultimately used?
I think they aren't talking about the actual aftermath of the bomb in Japan, but about the fact that, for example, they at no point considered dropping the bomb in Germany.
Nolan said it’s fully the experience of oppenheimers experience. Oppenheimer didn’t go over to Japan to meet Japanese so it wouldn’t show it just for racial diversity social justice bs lol
@@loglornIt’s not as racist as you’d think. A major difference was that Japan is an ISLAND, so the fallout risk was never as high. If you drop a bomb in the middle of Europe, the situation is quite dire to the rest of the Allied Powers.
13:04 the politics of Nolan are interesting? You clearly didn’t understand Nolan’s movies. The Dark Knight shows that torture isn’t a reliable means of obtaining accurate information, that violating international law has blowback, and that the surveillance state is too dangerous. The Dark Knight Rises showed that the masses will rise up if they think the wealthy are hoarding everything, if they think public institutions have failed them, and that people can easily be manipulated by a populist figure. Interstellar showed a world that humans ruined and a school system that engaged in revisionist history. And Oppenheimer shows a scientist’s reputation destroyed by the government because he was no longer saying what they wanted him to say. Shades of Fauci. Oh and Nolan himself gave the commencement address at Princeton where he called on young people to respect reality. It still amazes me that people think Nolan is a conservative when so much of what he shows in his movies and what he’s said in public makes it clear he’s a liberal.
It added the idea the both her character and Oppenheimer were open around each other in many aspects. They connected mentally, ideologically, and physically and those scenes showed all three at the same time
that’s the point? this movie isn’t called “The Manhattan Project” or “Trinity” or “The Bomb”, or “Hiroshima”. it’s called “Oppenheimer”. it’s about Oppenheimer.
This is the problem with the overly individualist view on sociopolitical issues that the left has somehow still not realized they need to let go of in order for leftist analysis to mean anything. A scattered, disorganized “boycott” of whatever interaction with entertainment any particular individual thinks they should stop doing is not only ineffective it’s not what the unions on strike are asking for. You can find exactly what they need from us as consumers and those of us that are entertainment professionals on their website. Do those things.
I’ll be honest, but I was straight up embarrassed cuz I took my girlfriend to this movie and them scenes were raunchy. We had to look at eachother till they was over. I’d have to disagree and say they was not tame, but then again I don’t go watch R rated that much let alone R rated with nudity so my biased is prolly showing a bit. Definitely do NOT take a kid tho. other than that it was a really great movie
12:52 I don't think any of the stuff you just mentioned was ever political. Even Oppenheimer is not political (as a movie and at its heart, not its direct real life subject matter obviously), it's a human and emotional and and scientific story. I don't know why American's are so hyper-fixated on making everything political and reading everything as a secret message. Like when batman extradites someone from a foreign country its not some meta message, its batman being batman. Batman does because batman can. And the whole big brother thing from the dark knight was literally portrayed as immoral and destroyed at the end of the movie. Really weird take that kind of ruined this video for me but good review overall I guess.
I'm gonna go see this movie out of social obligation. But I really have 0 interest or hype for it. I really wish the group I was going to the movies with was going to see Barbie instead.
Just go to Barbie by yourself bro, movies aren't really a social experience anyway (they literally tell you not to talk) Ironically I did exactly this with Oppenheimer, I watched it by myself while my brothers watched Elemental.
Ok... did you... like, have an edible before this, and you're not really used to them, or took more than usual? Or, idk, maybe I'm just crazy, but you seem to be mumbling and rambling and stuttering a LOT in this one. And, like, you do some of that usually, and I usually appreciate the conversational tone but... This is kinda weird. lol
His preamble basically is about Twitter activists saying that reviewers shouldn't give [positive] reviews about movies coming out because its free advertising for the movies which means more money for the studios which the current union protests don't want.
@@gagelindell271 Sorry a great film is admittedly watched over and over for atleast a decade and not getting old. Interstellar went old on number 2 viewing. Overrated, good filmmaker but limited by a narrow humanist and post-modernism mindset.
@@VFXforfilm Plenty of great films out there that will never be watched more than once. However, since I, along with many others I know have watched Interstellar many many times that automatically makes it great. Your point is toast. Lol peace!
Dude how could u say this movie was slow? I think the worst part about it is how Nolan wont let almost any scene breath and feels the need to make everything fast and snappy. If it was like 10 minutes longer without any added scenes I think this movie would be much better. And the sex scene is super stupid too.
One of the best movies of the last few years. Everyone knew what this movie was about but I don’t think anyone ACTUALLY knew. Really appreciate how much it dives into the early labor movement in the US and how that influenced Oppenheimer’s actions

I wish so much that the famous quote was, “Wowee! What a bomb!” 😂😂
I could see Matt Damon saying that
😂😂😂😂
bomb goes off and Oppieheimer says one of the following :
-It's right behind me isn't it?
-Well, that just happened
-Zoo-wee mama
-Now I am become Death... that sounded better in my head
-uh-oh, that's gonna leave a mark
-yikes !
he should have said that while having sex too
It's so refreshing to see a biopic that relies on its filmmaking and storyline rather than starpower.
Bro that Oppenheimer guy is Tommy fucking Shelby...
Considering how stacked the cast is, that's an interesting take.
Though it's fair to say, it really does seem to be cast for _talent_ rather than _star power,_ so I don't entirely disagree, it's just not something it would occur to me to espouse.
Idk I kinda feel like particularly recently Oscar biopic films in recent years make stars rather than feature them.
I mean RDJ is in the movie but eh it could’ve been worse (not talking shit about rdj I’m just saying 🤷♂️)

“I had a blast,” was my favorite part of this review.
Oppenheimer was not fantastic.
It’s a DAMN MASTERPIECE!
I need to re watch it but it might be the best Nolan movie ive seen. 3 hours of heavy dialogue and ive was gripped the entire time. Definitely didn't feel like 3 hours, and RDJ best performance.
Im going to see it by myself on tuesday. Not dealing with disruption or complaints about it being too long. I am pumped.
Loved this movie and loved this review but I will add I do not like people calling this a “horror” flick. It definitely has some serious suspense, an intense feeling of impending doom, dark undertones, and an ending that delivers a very sobering and dreadful punch to the gut. But never is this film horror movie or a scary movie.
I’m super hyped for this movie, I’m glad it’s getting great reviews!
I don’t think you could have gotten me more exited for this movie
You're the only reviewer who even mentioned the union stuff
Watching the rotten tomatoes score jump up has been very interesting to watch
I will add: This absolutely must be seen in IMAX! Was a hell of an experience and I'm glad I saved my first IMAX experience for Nolan
Love the Booster Gold additions. BIGGEST fan, cant wait to see him in action.
saw this in 70mm imax and it was the greatest theater experience ive ever had
"Wow, what a bomb that was." 😂👏
"Wowee, what a bomb that was!"
This would've been absolute peak writing 😂 Now I wish they said it.
great analysis, but what I really want to comment on is how amazing all of your videos' ending frames have been recently
I’m doing the barbenheimer thing with the fellas, and in an effort to go in as pure as possible, I won’t watch this. Someone please remind me 48 hours from now or don’t and I’ll remember this eventually some day.
Save it to your watch later playlist
how was it?
@@realchezboi thanks you for the reminder man, it was really great. I honestly think I might like Barbie more just due to how unexpectedly funny it was but Oppenheimer is also super impressive, everyone in that movie was giving 100% effort.
"big picture"
IMAX confirmed
I'm a grown adult but I'm legit kinda worried to go see it with my dad and grandma because of the nudity. 😂
I'm still gonna go because it's a 5/70mm presentation but it'll be awkward.
I'm a grown adult who remembers when a pretty high percentage of movies had nudity. It was fine. Nobody died.
The amount of negative comments here is astounding. Loved the movie, not even a huge Nolan fan or biopic fan. It takes skill to make a 3 hours walk and talk biopic interesting.
Same, really not a fan of Nolan but this is his best movie. Close with Dark Knight.
Don't forget that a great deal of movie audiences have the attention span of a gnat and have been conditioned to Marvel superhero movies and being spoonfed everything
Love this dude always fascinating
That's kinda gay ngl
Gonna see Oppenheimer in Regal.
Guy 1: I had it for breakfast this morning.
Guy 2: what did you have?
Guy 1: I'M NOT WEARING HOCKEY PADS!!!
Just saw oppenheimer. holy crap its amazing
i literally saw this on imax on row B (second row). i got blown by christopher nolan the bomb came all over my face.
lol I watched it with my 14-year-old brother. It's funny to hear you bring that up because he like shrieked and covered his eyes through the whole nudity scenes. I found it quite funny but, yeah, a bit awkward.
It's almost like it's rated 'R' for a reason...
Once I had seen this, I got home, and looked up the cast list. And saw Gary Oldman's name. Who the fuck was Gary Oldman in this?!? Ah... Pres Truman.... I never even guessed it was Oldman. Damn chameleon.
Oppenheimer and Pikmin reviews are coming out early, so Barbie is the only one left out lol
Barbie reviews are out there. Stuckmann, Jahns, and Murrell all have their videos up as of this morning
Most reviewers I've watched say its good/great. Not a masterpiece tho
Great constructive video as usually bud keep it up
imagine if they had cleopatra'd oppenheimer...
Sometimes reviewers will say shit like “best movie ever” and then rare it a 9/10.
Cillian Murphy should be considered for Silver Surfer.
wow wee what a bomb that was!
Funny opening line! :)
YES. Matt Damon is totally the Tom Hardy character of this film!!! 😂😆 In real life Groves was much less cartoony
Something tells me that this weekend, the boys are going to like the “boy movie” more and the girls are going to like the “girl movie” more. Just a hunch.

I’ve got the option to see it in 70mm OR in IMAX Laser, which should I pick?
70mm
Problem I’m having too. I’m in Knoxville area so it’s either to Nashville for the Opry mills imax 70mm or the Chattanooga aquarium Imax for laser
What did you think about Dunkirk? And did you watch it in 70mm IMAX?
Man was a genius but does this biopic also go into his personal life or is it about the bomb and the effects?
title says the film is incredible but his reaction is mild

Bruh stahp with “it was scary” it was tense scary is the wrong word lol
It was tho
I was absolutely terrified in a way no horror film effected me ever. Scary is absolutely a right word.
Okay but what about Barbie?
Grace said it sucks!
Grace sucks so who cares
Grace has terrible taste
What did Florence Pugh's boobs add to the story
It added the idea the both her character and Oppenheimer were open around each other in many aspects. They connected mentally, ideologically, and physically and those scenes showed all three at the same time
It's great, but it doesn't show every perspective, only the american one
