Dunkirk (2017)

This wasn't bad, but it isn't a Historical War movie, it's a vignette movie with 3 overlapping stories. This wasn't bad, but it was a bit of mismanaged expectations. Many will go in expecting a Historical War movie and see a vignette movie telling 3 overlapping stories. A British soldier fleeing the german advance, a British boater coming to save them, and a RAF pilot, and how those stories intersect. Unecessarily complx, but not bad stories. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2017-06-11

If you want to see leftist bias in media, you just have to look at all the examples of how far off from their reviewers are from their viewers. I use the spread as a predictor of whether I'll like a film. Big spread with audience over critics? I'm going to like it. But big spread with critics over audience? I'll usually side with audience.

Dunkirk (2017)

Tatometer	Summary
	Dunkirk - Reviewers liked it more than viewers with a 93/83 rating on rotten tomatoes. I was more with the viewers. It was a good 3 or 3.5 out of 5 star movie. Solid, well written, reasonably active, well filmed. But a little overly complex, and not completely memorable. It told a few stories well, and I felt like I got my value out of watching it, but it didn't move me in any way.

Snowflakes complained because movie didn't have many people of color or women, in a historical movie about a british defeat that had virtually no people of color or women involved. I think they wanted Django Unchained version of history.

That of course got the rational people to play "mock the historically illiterate".

Conclusion

But overall, it wasn't a bad movie. It just wasn't as good as many had lead me to believe in might be. Plus I saw Hacksaw Ridge (2016) on HBO the same weekend, which was a far better war movie, and movie in general. So Dunkirk was eclipsed by a better film.
