This guy sucks. How did Nolan look at him and think "Yep, movie star material"

>>214043019 (OP)
This guys great, I loved the mix of sadness and confusion in his voice as he says that, he's almost tearful knowing that's his supposedly closest friend departing, yet he has no idea who he is yet. I also liked the hot sauce and how he fixes his suit after whooping ass. Really glad Nolan looked at him and thought "Yep, movie star material"

>>214043060
He was kino in BlacKkKlansman

if these two were gay lovers, who do you think would be taking it in the ass?

>>214043019 (OP)
Having some one fake fight in reverse wasn’t nearly as interesting on camera as Nolan thought it would be.
The love interest made no sense, and the big bads motivation made no sense.
Such a mess of a film

>>214043019 (OP)
I don't mind Denzel Washingtons kid but he's not amazing or anything. At least so far

>>214043503
They stand side by side, both watching the tv, and reach over a jerk each other off into a shame puddle while watching YouTube videos of preschool show and tell parents upload, freeze framing on the little boys while making goofing and oinking noises

Black male woolen beards are plain unatesthic, sorry black bros, clean shave that shit please

One of the worst casting decisions I've ever seen
Pattinson should have been the lead and Taylor Johnson or Jude Law or Nick Hault could have played his original role instead

>>214043503
the second guy and his "no u" bs because he thinks he's on reddit

>>214043019 (OP)
a minor work, marred by a charima vacuum performance by the protagonist

>the big bads motivation made no sense
This is no longer a criticism after 2022. They just wreck whatever they can't have, the movie was on the money.

>>214043019 (OP)
background looks like the hanger behind the plane that CIA stands infront

Pat should have been the lead

>>214043019 (OP)
I don't understand why people don't like him I thought he was great. He's supposed to be kind of a blank slate character with nothing really deeper than surface level, I mean he doesn't even have a name in the film.

How? It's basically the people from the future trying a hail mary attempt to see if the grandfather paradox can work to save their future. They literally have no future left and will try anything to survive. To you or me, rewinding time to overwrite the past and take the resources for survival sounds pretty illogical and dumb. But to them, it's the only thing they have left to try. Too bad it basically cant happen.

>i better cast a nigger as the lead as I never have before and I don't want articles about how my movies are too white
that's literally all there was to it

My favorite Nolan movie by farrr. I've seen all of his movies multiple times, but I've watched this probably 12 times. I love it so much. I will die on this hill and debate any point or explain any confusion about the movie.

>>214044356
wait dude are you telling me the plot's a temporal palindrome in which some things come from the future and some from the past and converge in some scenes like the battle...

This is Nolan's weakest film by far and it's not even close. The premise is interesting but the execution is beyond flawed. I thought I was being left cold by it because I was having trouble keeping up but on a rewatch, it's the near total lack of humanity.

Starting with the main character, obviously Washington is poorly cast and the there are a laundry list of actors who could've pulled it off better, but a lot of the problems with the character go back to the script. The lack of charisma is seemingly intentional, given it's a blank slate character literally named "The Protagonist". Washington has done comedy before, it's probably his strongest area (the one moment that got a laugh in the theatre was the hot sauce line) so hiring him to play basically a stoic character, which is hard for any actor, is mind-boggling.

Then there's the lack of any love interest. Elizabeth Debicki is not one, and at no point is a romantic connection even hinted at. She's just there. The Protagonist is far too much of a distant, boring cunt for any sort of romance. Is there anything to be said for romance in movies anymore? Is it not basic human impulse to want to fuck someone? It's like Hollywood is afraid that if they have a man fall in love with a woman it could come across as sexist or homophobic or something. Instead of giving the lead characters some fucking humanity, she is basically wearing a porcelain expression all the time, and is repeatedly humanised by references to her son leading to one of the stupidest lines I've ever heard in a film
>Everyone and everything that's ever lived, destroyed instantly. Precise enough?
>Including my son?

The villain sucks. It's just Kenneth Branagh doing a dumb accent. Ironically, he's one of the few characters that actually displays emotion regularly.

Robert Pattinson is head and shoulders the best part of the film. The biggest shame in all of this is that it feels like he's the star of a more entertaining film happening just off screen.

Denzel Washington (his father) probably paid Nolan

>>214043019 (OP)
He got none of his dad's charisma or looks.
>>214043636
During the fires earlier this year both of those houses got burnt down.

>>214043060
Yeah he sucks but so did Kenneth Branagh. Debicki was playing the exact same character as in The Night Manager and I don't think Pattison was anything special, he's just very handsome.
So maybe the problem is Nolan.

>blank slate character
This. I thought he was fine in the role.

>>214043019 (OP)
This scene and the reverse fight in the kitchen were kino, don't care what anyone says.

>>214043060
the worst part is the excuse
>him havingzero charisma is ON PURPOSE, thats why he doesnt have a name
please.

>>214046012
Pattison did a good job. he evn makes Protagonist character seem interesting at times, which is impressive.

>>214043019 (OP)
>cast as the main actor in the latest nolan slop, another movie where time is weird and shit
>when the filming is said and done the greatest flex of acting is adlibbing "I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago" before a fight scene
this guy is the son of a great and charismatic actor, apples fall far from the tree and still end up a nepo baby

>>214043019 (OP)
The story in this movie is just an excuse to make scenes in reverse, its not worth paying attention to it.

>>214043060
I liked him, his clueless demeanor kind of aided the story's initially overwhelming complexity. I haven't seen Pattinson sell action scenes too well so Washington or ATJ was still probably the better pick for lead.

>>214044243
