This was pretty bland. Not really that funny and the action wasn't great. I thought Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson would be fun but they were just fine. Kumail Nanjiani's character was the best part of the movie.
The movie is told by the excellence in editing, photography, score (by Hans Zimmer) and visual/practical effects.
From the moment which the viewer notices that it is a non-linear narrative told in 3 (or more) points of view, the film becomes visceral, thrilling and captivating. It gives the sense of failure and weight on those soldiers' shoulders during the many days that they suffered from German's soldiers (which only appeared 2 seconds in the whole movie) . You feel the human sacrifice, courage and fear that was on that beach, with all of the people waiting to their death or salvation. You experience and live the patriotism of the civilians which adventure themselves to the sea to rescue their own.
Dunkirk is a singular masterpiece that recreates one of the miraculous periods of World War II.
Seems every movie Sandler does these days gets hated on. People saying this is the worst movie ever made in history...really? You people must not have seen many movies. Regardless of what Sandler does the rest of his career its now popular to point out how it sucks and not as funny as his old movies. I enjoyed this movie, laughing out loud several times. Sandler does a great job playing the father. The bachelor party scenes are epic, really feel for the characters. Uncle Vanny? Hilarious. At no point in this movie did I think "oh man this is the worst thing I've seen in my life." Had good feeling, good comedy, a solid entry to Sandlers recent works. Much much better than the one where he played his sister.
I might be an adult but such films always make me happy. This one is cool to watch with (and without lol) children.
So don't hesitate and do watch it !
