Nolan plays with non-linear narrative, imagery and genres, yet his film remains easy to follow almost the entire time.

Every single element in Oppenheimer is great but together they form truly almost a cinematic masterpiece. The music, sound design, cinematography, direction, performances, non-linear narrative, ...

Although all actors did an incredible job, Cillian Murphy shines the most. Oppenheimer might the best performance in his career so far.

Sometimes it wouldn't hurt if Nolan would be more subtle. The plot rushes forward too abruptly in soem places, a more restrained use of music wouldn't have hurt, and I would have liked to see more physics instead of some pathetic phrases.

However, Oppenheimer is undoubtedly an impressive and timeless cinematic experience. I also appreciate that Nolan doesn't glorify J. R. Oppenheimer, instead he is portrayed as both a very intelligent and yet very fallible man.

The "I think we did." ending, especially in the context of current global tensions, is haunting. An excellent ending to an excellent film.

A commercial stretched into a full-length feature film.

Barbieland, as an inversion of the real world with which it s mentally connected had a lot of potential. However, Barbie (both the doll and the film) is primarily a corporate product, and it's evident that the creators were not given freedom to explore the material in a more sophisticated way.

The film explores several social issues (feminism, patriarchy, sexism, ...) in a way that may seem too preachy, in-your-face or even off-putting. I'd say that these topics are intentionally depicted with a child-like mindset and it may take a while to wrap our adult heads around such approach.

Despite this, thanks to the vibrant cinematography, over-the-top social commentary, skillful direction, and great performances (Gosling as Ken rules), Barbie manages to entertain, albeit in a somewhat absurd way.

Nevertheless, I expected more from it.

It's impressive that Ford, even 80 years old, managed put on Indy's shoes one last time. Although the Dial of Destiny is (arguably) the weakest film in the series, it's definitely not a bad film, but not a great one either.

It's a decent, entertaining flick containing most of the elements typical for the series. The best parts are when Indiana is serious and contemplating, the opening on the train and emotional finale are also great.

However, Spielberg's lack of creative vision is noticeable, and fifth Indy thus feels more like an imitation rather than "real" Indiana Jones film.

Overall, the Dial of Destiny is a decent if somewhat "soulless" send-off to this iconic film character.
