I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Christopher Nolan hasn't made a truly good movie since The Prestige. Everything since then has been too long, too convoluted, and/or too loud (or in the case of Oppenheimer, not loud enough).

Very hot take considering

The Prestige - 2006

The Dark Knight - 2008

IMO The Dark Knight was hard-carried by Heath Ledger and without his performance that movie is about as good as DKR, which isn't great.

I could hate on the Dark Knight all day. The month it came out, my brother put it best, "It's two movies. A good, short, Joker movie and a bad, long, Batman movie."

When you watch this film and only the Joker scenes, its 10x better.

I didn't like The Dark Knight at all. It was just kind of boring and the acting didn't do anything for me.

I also think Nolan is highly overrated.

Oppenheimer was amazing. Sad you couldn’t enjoy it.

Really? I found it to be extremely mid. It took at least an hour for the film to not feel like a trailer montage and find proper pacing. The writing didn't feel organic at all, and felt like actors reading historical quotes from a page at each other. Also, when Florence Pugh's character started riding Oppenheimer's dick while he said his famous Bhagavad Gita line, I burst out laughing in the theater and had a really hard time taking the rest of the movie seriously.

I think this movie will be forgotten in 3 years, if not sooner.

While I haven't watched enough of his movies to have a overall opinion of them. As the only movie of a certan trilogy that I found good came out before The Prestige and the second which I VERY unpopulary don't like came out after. I can somewhat agree with you.

That's the one with the magician and the teleporting/cloning right?

Nah that was a garbage movie too.
