A disaster for a number of reasons!
Such a disappointment, especially from Christoper Nolan...
Firstly, the biggest grave, monumental mistake Warner Bros or Christoper Nolan made with this movie is, to 'try' and certify the horrors of war into a 12 certificate!
How can anyone portray the TRUE terror and trepidation of war with a 12 certificate?!
You simply cannot.
And here wherein lies the most significant problem with this movie!
As one reviewer aptly put it, this is, 'Dunkirk, The Disney Version'.
It is such a shame it's so tame...
The subsequent monumental mistake, as mention above in the title, is the soundtrack.
It does not fit the movie at all!
So for that reason, there is no feeling or suspense that's meant to make you feel gripped as if you were right there on the sands of Dunkirk.
Usually, the soundtrack and the movie are designed to fall in love with one another ('Blade Runner' springs to mind), thus, forming an epic film.
This does not happen with 'Dunkirk' whatsoever, which leaves the movie bland, lifeless, and even boring. I found myself reaching for my phone, rather than being on the edge of my seat.
