This was not what I expected
Almost no action, no blood in a war movie, barely any dialogue, and very short movie
(These things aren't necessarily bad, just not what I expected)

Your thoughts?

Haven't seen it, but it is two hours long. So if you think it was really short then it probably wasn't paced properly.

its 1 hour 46 min
Shortest movie times are typically 90 minutes

It's short for a war movie, specifically

There's no way I would put it higher than Dark Knight, Prestige, Inception

I can definitely see why certain viewers would think this though if you're specifically into this type of movie.

I felt like the ending was rushed. I didn't think it was ending until the Dunkirk title showed up. Also, I had trouble hearing the dialog in this film. I think he did a really good job in capturing the horror of those German planes though. Not even Nolans top 3 imo but everybody has their opinions.

The movie was great, but they could've done a much better movie with such an important historical event like that. Not Oscar-worthy in my opinion.

Same. Not many dialogues, most of them were between the 2 pilots. And when they had that thing on their face, it was hard to understand.

Had a voucher for a free movie ticket, so I decided to go watch this yesterday. The voucher needed to be traded in box, so I couldn't make a reservation, and when I got there (half an hour before the start of the movie), all the tickets were gone ffs.

Ended up watching the new Planet of the Apes movie, which I was also looking forward to see but just nowhere near as hyped as I was for Dunkirk..

I guess I'll wait until september now, because I'm leaving Madrid for Mallorca tomorrow, and it's hard to find cinemas that have non-dubbed movies there.
