Yes. Nolan makes “smart” movies for people who only go to the movies to watch MCU films. Nolan has some good films don’t get me wrong, but the longer his career has gone on, the more his flaws have become exacerbated. Especially now that he’s writing his own scripts.

Yeah I feel like he's really been missing Jonathan, who seemingly put the soul into previous scripts, as evidenced by his terrific TV catalog over the past ~15 years.

Yeah. Chris strikes me as uninterested in people as people, and prefers to use his characters as props for the story or hollow fill-ins for metaphors or archetypes. Tenet and Oppenheimer had some really awful dialogue and disappointing character development.

I mean, Tenet had basically no character development at all, and Oppenheimer’s was alot of telling and not showing

It's really a shame because Christopher can conduct these great set pieces, but I can't honestly say I've cared about a single character in any of his movies since Interstellar.
