re: Dunkirk discussion (NO SPOILERS)

So the Brits are saying Nolan took a pivotal moment in their history and reduced those families and soldiers to comic-book characters...or worse...comic-book characters get a backstory...Nolan has taken this event and reduced it to a video-game. That's pissing on the memories of those who died and history just to appease teenagers and fanboys and shirk his duty as a film-maker.

I like how you take one review, and use that to argue that this represents the Brits as a whole. Why don't we take the site that aggregates all of the reviews and see what the collection of Brits thinks?

Indie London--5/5
Sky Movies--5/5
Times--2/5
Scotsman--5/5
Financial Times--4/5
Independent--5/5
BBC--5/5
iNews--5/5
The Shiznit--4/5
Radio Times--5/5
Independent (second reviewer)--4/5
Screen International (metacritic score)--100/100
Daily Mirror--5/5
Time Out--4/5
Daily Telegraph--5/5
Daily Express--5/5
HeyUGuys--5/5
Guardian--5/5
Cinevue--5/5

I may have missed a publication, but there were also two reviews that did not have a score from rottentomates.
GQ UK--fresh rating--called it the decades Band of Brothers so that's about as good of a comparison as possible
The Spectator--rotten rating--called it brave but emotionally hollow, so pretty mixed.

So there are 21 reviews, 19 of which are positive (90.5%), and you picked 1 of the 2 rotten reviews, specifically the worst one, and decided that that represented the views of the “Brits.” Of the 19 with an actual rating, 14 are perfect scores, and if converted the 19 to a 100 point scale. The average “Brit” score would be 92.6.

What a terrible post on your part.
