You don't think it's bloated and weighed down by corny conventions as a film trilogy?

If you take into consideration how well the movies are portrayed from the books, you'd understand the trilogy a lot more. Return of the King is easily one of the best movies ever made, or at the very least, top 10.

As far as plot goes it was a very true rendition, yes. While that's an element of what makes the movies a bit bloated, most of what I'm talking about when I criticize the trilogy comes down to filmmaking techniques like forced grandiose tracking shots, by-the-numbers score, cheap goofy humour, Transatlantic accents, and a load of other items. I still think that the movies range from 7-8/10.

he’s definitely skilled at creating memorable moments that will make you forget about everything else in the film

see:

the second half of the dark knight dragging like hell
inception being about as complex as Kiii’s taste in movies
interstellar portraying some of the most laughable scenes ive seen in recent years because nolan couldnt decide if he wanted to make a film that was scientifically accurate or a romcom

im sure there’s stuff i bitch about with memento and the prestige as well but i cant think of them atm

didnt see dunkirk cuz it looks boring and it’s hard to say if it’s actually good outside of being made by him

I didn't watch Dunkirk because I'm not about propaganda films.

Surprising that you'd actually rate it so highly given that you have a track record of ****ting on other things that are actually good.

Sorry, I forgot that if a movie isn't foreign or only shown at the dollar theater in the alley, I really shouldn't bother having an opinion.

If you can't criticize things that you appreciate then you probably don't have a very intellectual approach to art. That's cool though, not all art is meant to serve that purpose so people in that box have a wealth to pull from.

Pot calling the kettle black.

Not really. The people in the scenario that I put forward seem to be all or nothing on this type of thing while I try to have a nuanced perspective.

Absolutely!
