Oh my, it took me a while to get around to see this. Positives? The cast was great and there are some very decent actors in there. Cillian Murphy was superb as was Robert Downey Jr. I found it overly long to be honest by about 1 hour. The subject matter is well known, much of the historical details having been hammered out in the TV Drama some years back. They did labour the history.
The sound was awful, too loud and drowning out the dialogue. The music was equally too loud and just gets in the way, especially in the first hour. Yes I understand that Nolan has a habit of doing this but it just makes it an unpleasant experience.
Special effects were just plain bad.
In a year of not that many great movies, I suppose it will do well honors wise but in truth it does not deserve too many awards. Best lead male obviously but not much else.
