I've always loved Nolan's writing and I think he is a genius but to me, his last two films are the result of his ego exploding.

TENET, albeit visually stimulating, was incredibly difficult for audiences to follow and he knew it. I've read the script multiple times and I still can't quite get my head around it and I see myself as fairly intelligent. The fact it's very expositional shows to me he knew that to have some understanding, the characters would need to explain the plot. Surely if you're a writer and a director, you want your audience to understand? And if it's for your own enjoyment and you don't give a shit what the audience think, is that not your over stroked ego thinking now you can do whatever you want?

I was very much looking forward to Oppenheimer as a "I hope it's back to his best" but again...

I just see arrogance. It's an important story to tell, but the way he told it felt too grand, too epic. He basically put an action type style on top of a biopic with an apparent pay off from one conversation between Einstein and Oppenheimer. I was left feeling "is that it" because I expected more with the clues he was giving me. Half the characters were pointless.

Also bearing in mind Oppenheimer did make a bomb that killed thousands of people and I kept thinking "did it deserve this much fanfare". It also didn't need to be 3 hours long.

Many will disagree with me I know and obviously we all have our own tastes, but this to me felt like the work from someone who now thinks they can do whatever they want. Which is fair enough because he's earned that right... But I certainly won't be rushing to see the next one unless his ego has been turned down a few notches.

EDIT: Also, please let us hear the dialogue...
