Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer looking worried next to Oppenheimer looking at the camera in Oppenheimer
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Legendary horror director John Carpenter has opened up about his thoughts on Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer, claiming the movie's praise is overrated. The 2023 film stars Cillian Murphy as its titular historical figure, showcasing his life from before his involvement in the Manhattan Project until much later.
I don't want to talk about things that I haven't enjoyed. I liked Maestro a great deal. I thought that was terrific. Oppenheimer was OK. It was alright. Everyone's praising it as the movie of the century—I don't know about that. However, there are some unique elements to Oppenheimer that could be off-putting to viewers looking for a more streamlined story. The story of the titular character's life is not always told in chronological order, with a plethora of flash-forwards to his hearing with the Personnel Security Board after the atomic bomb was developed. Because of how often the story jumps throughout its three-hour runtime, it doesn't feel presented like a typical movie.
