Christopher Nolan is his own brand that has a proven audience. In a sense, Universal paid handsomely to poach him from Warner Brothers, and giving him big budgets is part of that deal.
And he has yet to disappoint or not make money so it’s working fine. It already made over $260 million globally and the weekend isn’t even over yet. It will absolutely still be the biggest movie to see for the next several weeks so it did it’s job. Sometimes I feel like there isn’t one thing on Lemmy that people can’t find something to complain about! I can’t wait to see it still, but there were no good seats at any theater near me when i finally decided to go. Next weekend it is!
Anytime I look up a forum thread of a movie I’m watching/wanting to watch (spoiler-free), at least half of the comments are “this movie was trash and you should feel bad for liking it.”
And the other half feel the need to justify why they liked it to the half that hated it for reasons they literally can’t put into words (if they do it’s always the most contrived/overused excuse in critiquing).

Lemmy is just full of contrarians because it’s not-reddit. I’ve learned to just accept it at this point.
Yeah it’s like how Australia was originally a penal colony for Britain…
Many people are here because they were banned from Reddit. For better and for worse.
Those of us who voluntarily came here back during the API bullshit are old hat at this point.
The whole internet is full of contrarians. I don’t know why so many movie-goers are so determined not to enjoy anything
There’s an xkcd pointing out that it’s a lot easier to hate something everyone else likes, than to love something everyone else hates, and that honestly really changed the way I view popularity and contrarianism. I respect contrarians who can love what is hated but I’m totally dismissive of anyone trying to criticize what is popular.
