"Oppenheimer is a true masterclass in how to build extreme tension and suspense through fast, detailed dialogue, an insanely powerful sound production, and an equally explo…
fireheart92: **OPPENHEIMER IS "NOT FOR EVERYONE" AS STATED BY CHRISTROPHER NOLAN BEFORE THE RELEASE OF THE FILM HIMSELF. ** But those who have ample knowledge of physics and chemistry, this film is a masterpiece. The film takes the viewer into the mind of the "Father of the atomic bomb" how he thinks, how he fee…
Brent Marchant: Telling the story of a larger-than-life individual truly calls for a larger-than-life film, and that’s precisely what writer-director Christopher Nolan has come up with in his latest feature outing, handily the best work of his career. Nolan’s three-hour opus about the life of Dr. J. Robert Oppenhei…
CinemaSerf: Cillian Murphy offers an assured and considered performance here as the man who is credited with developing the bomb that hastened the end of WWII in the far east. He is the increasingly acclaimed, eponymous, physicist who is made aware by Admiral Lewis Strauss (another strong performance from Rober…
tropicalicecedar: This film takes you on an exhilarating journey through history, skillfully weaving together captivating storytelling and breathtaking visuals. The performances were top-notch, leaving me completely immersed in the characters' emotions. A definite must-see!
rsanek: Cillian Murphy, so hot right now. Film is a little long though.
Louisa Moore – Screen Zealots: The intersection of innovation, science, political bureaucracy, and ethics meet in writer-director Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer,” a dark, challenging biopic about the father of the atomic bomb, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. This profound epic clocks in at three hours yet never feels too long, even …
Thulan Perera: The cinematic masterpiece that is Oppenheimer leaves an indelible impression on anyone who watches it. Christopher Nolan has truly outdone himself with this film, delivering a poignant message about the horrors of nuclear war. The superb direction and exceptional performances by Cillian Murphy, Robe…
Sarthak Bharad: > **Oppenheimer:** I feel like I have blood on my hands, sir.

> **Truman:** [takes a handkerchief from his pocket and gives it to him] You think anyone in Hiroshima or Nagasaki gives a shit about who built the bomb?
an incredibly well-written and extremely well-acted piece of dramatic cinema…
aGoryLouie: excellent, a perfect example of true defined cinema
At a whopping three hours long it, very much like LOTR, feels considerably less.
A must watch
Peter McGinn: Well, with ten other reviews on this site, I am not going to give a blow-by-blow assessment of what I like or don’t like. I am sure other reviews have touched upon hinge I might point out.
I will only say that I thought it a really good movie: smartly written and nicely acted. I had some trouble …
TheRealMina: The movie is incredibly overrated and filled with unnecessary dramatized scenes, making it excessively long. It presents Oppenheimer as a cliche, portraying him as the world's smartest man who can learn a language in six weeks, accompanied by aggressively written advanced equations on a blackboard w…
misubisu: The most inefficient telling of a story that I have ever experienced. Hugely unnecessary character development and unnecessary dramatisation.
I only made it to halfway before dyeing of boredom… jumped forward a chunk… saw the president say that the Russians would never succeed in obtaining th…
Per Gunnar Jonsson: I was actually looking forward to watch this movie. Unfortunately I have to say I was rather disappointed when the movie came to an end.
One of the most impressive projects ever undertaken filled with scientifical challenges and performed under immense pressure.
That is what the movie should h…
badelf: Honestly too long. This is really two, long films. The first half deals mostly with the science and the scientists. The second half/film deals with the political and moral repercussions of the science.
Outside the story, Nolan has given us a top notch cast performing at their peak, beautiful cine…
Amiiae011: **Oppenheimer may not be for many people, but it was wonderful for me.** This movie does require some knowledge and interest in science, but it doesn't mean that you have to be an expert. I surely recommend doing some research before and after watching the film to better understand it. I also recomm…
Christopher: Well, was a interesting movie. But, the scene of the nuclear bomb i felt a little disappointed. Even when the credits start to show up i said: "Wait, really the so trend nuclear bomb scene was what i saw in Los Alamos?
I imagined another bigger bomb and destructive!
aarsheeb: The movie is dramatic, thrilling and gives an insight of a true event that had happened in the past
r96sk: Yep, a quality film.
<em>'Oppenheimer'</em> lived up to the billing to me. Not that that was ever really in any doubt, with Christopher Nolan at the helm and Cillian Murphy in lead alongside all the acclaim that I have seen this receive since its 2023 release. The near 3hr run time is no problem …
Bishoy017: The problem with biographies is that you have to make sure not to put your own beliefs & present them as facts to white-wash a person/organization.
Oppenheimer was a brilliant scientist indeed but he was also a COMMUNIST (there is a ton of evidence/articles about it and he even admitted liking co…
