Good but over-hyped

Rating: 6/10 (20 July 2017)

I write this review when this movie has a high rating making it the greatest movie of all time I think for the most part this is Nolan fan boys and fan girls it really isn't that great.
To me a war movie should invoke a huge emotional response. It should bring you to tears and have you leaving the cinema thinking wow I hope I never have to be put in that position. The great war movies of the past have invoked that response from me. Even Hacksaw Ridge from last year I felt so much emotions watching it. I didn't get that with this movie at all.
This movie is so beautiful shot it is truly amazing but it has little else on offer. I found the British accents hard to understand at time like I needed subtitles. I get it is a British movie so this isn't really a complaint but it did lessen it's appeal to me. I also found the directing to at times feel messy. All the interweaving stories made it hard to really get into the movie.
I really feel this movie is overrated it is not a bad movie but Nolan really is not as good as people make out he is. This is a bit over-hyped and not even the best movie this year let alone of all time.
