It was a pretty good suspense film. Other than that I found it disappointing. The reviews were completely overblown IMO and labeled it one of the best WWII movies ever. Definitely not.

I feel like it really missed the mark of encapsulating what actually transpired at Dunkirk but of course that wasn't Nolan's objective. I wish it was.

Finally watched this last night for the first time, and while I thought it was a good movie, I think Nolan missed the mark on telling the full story and capturing the epic scale of the real-life event. The real Dunkirk involved thousands of British civilians banding together and putting themselves (and ther boats) at huge personal risk to save over 300,000 trapped soldiers. I feel like the movie totally missed the mark on this, making it look more like a small-scale conflict where a few pilots and ship captains saved the day.
