This. I was really disappointed in the quality of the story and its presentation.
Most of the movie was flat out lame.

I've given my own reasons for being critical, many times. Try harder, July 2014.
Regardless, they are extremely similar to the reviews that you posted in the review thread. You just may be hypocritical when questioning the independence of others' opinion. All are valid, but pretending to possess more originality deserves criticism.
By the way, what does July 2014 refer to? I just realized it was the month I joined. Is that an insult or something? Seems strange.

Then hand me the Oscar because I was mirroring him during that scene. So much feels.

1. Should have trimmed it down a bit. Could have been 20 minutes shorter IMO.
2. Some of the dialogue was forced/cheesy.
3. I enjoyed it more than Inception.

Just perusing this thread to evaluate discussion on the film and have come to conclusion that you are being an insufferable prick.
Using "flowery prose" as you so arrogantly put it makes your opinion no more valid than anyone else's and your overly sensitive, self defense, reactionary posts reveal that you are, indeed, "worked up".
I noticed you gave the film praise for the most part, sans the ending, which is fine and your own opinion. However, a simple evaluation into how childish your retaliation to the responses you've received reveal: "u mad".

You're right. I just saw some of his hypocrisy from earlier. It really isn't a bit deal so I should let it go.

This film was exactly what I expected it to be. A huge dumpster fire.
This movie throws all kinds of science at you for almost three hours, and yet it forgets to give you any emotional attachment to any of the characters. McConaughey cries maybe a half a dozen times throughout the film, but I really do not care because once again, Nolan only brushes with broad strokes, and forgets small details, like tying you into the characters. The ending way beyond cheesy. I honestly expect a whole lot more from a Nolan product. There are tons of stars in the movie, but the acting is wooden, and the dialogue is simply awful. Even the staple of Nolan movies, cinematography, wasnt up to par. You can tell that Nolan leaned heavily on Wally Phister, and without him, I dont think his vision was seen.
Just an overall terrible movie. I almost fell asleep at least twice, and I almost walked out at least a half a dozen times.

So you went into a pretty well reviewed movie, made by a great director with great actors, thinking it was going to be a "dumpster fire?"

Is a "dumpster fire" what you expect?

This is about to go over really well.

As far as my actual review, I'm not quite sure. I think this movie will be analyzed a ton in the next few days. There were some parts that didn't quite line up to me, and I'm sure there will be some amazing write-ups about this movie. I am the type that can be convinced to like or hate a movie from a logical analysis. I want to like this movie, and I thought it was beautiful, but if logic ruins it for me, so be it.
Definitely glad that I saw it. And I cried multiple times. Not afraid to admit that.

It's cool. Tom Rinaldi has made it the norm for guys to cry (at least I want to think so).

The last I saw, the movie had a 74 rating on RT, not exactly a well loved film.
I love movies that are different. I love movies that make the watcher engage in the film, and digest everything, but to me, this was a huge mess.
Im not a Nolan hater, nor am I a Nolan fanboy. Memento is one of the best movies of the century. I loved Inception, and I think that Batman Begins is one of the two or three best comic movies of all times. I just think that Nolan has his faults, and shouldnt be mentioned anywhere with the top tier directors in Hollywood.

Sure. But that's far closer to love than it is a dumpster fire.
Finding it to be that bad is one thing, but it doesn't make a lot of sense going in thinking it will be that bad.

Quick take.
What I like about Nolan films is that the unanswered question is purposely there. It could be because they don't have a good way to write a conclusion for the "problem," or its on purpose, but we all agree what the "issue" is essentially.
Like the top in Inception, or the paradox of how did the future human race survive (and send a wormhole) to be able to help itself survive, when it had no luxury in this film, or The Prestige.
Compare this to a movie like Prometheus (ya I fricking went there*) where it is painfully obvious the audience has a billion questions because the writing is atrocious and leaves us in a sea of stupidity by throwing out "whoa, what was that?" for no real reason at all.
That's what I can appreciate about this at the end of the day.
*sorry not sorry
