www.reddit.com/r/moviescirclejerk/Film Twitter seems to dislike him as well. People have been talking about how annoying Nolan fanboys are since 2008, but at this point, it kind of seems like his detractors are the more vocal ones.

"People have been talking about how annoying Nolan fanboys are since 2008"
Well yeah, that's when the Nolanites kept purposely downvoting a bunch of movies on IMDB to make The Dark Knight number one. I mean who seriously does that? Tarantino and Tim Burton have also developed a large, strong following and I don't remember a bunch of their fans doing that. And really what is all the hoopla about? Because he makes summer blockbuster films that are "serious" and kinda artsy? I'd much rather sit through some dumb Michael Bay explosion fest than that snoozefest Inception again.
"but at this point, it kind of seems like his detractors are the more vocal ones."
Perhaps, but whose the one that started it?

Don’t reddit and twitter hate everyone though?

When you have two extremes, they both end up extremely annoying.

The Transformers movies are completely interchangeable, on top of being pretty long. Watching Age of Extinction in the theater was probably one of the most aggravating experiences I’ve ever had at the movies.

Fanboys are always annoying, no matter who its for.
I tend to enjoy Nolans films tho. Ill check out Tenet when it becomes comfortably available.

Any really popular director is gonna get backlash.

I’ll never understand the excessive hatred for Nolan’s movies.
I understand not liking them, but some people seem offended by their existence and actively rip his movies apart for no reason.
I will be interested to see how his appeal changes over the next decade or so. Hollywood seems to be trekking back into character driven movies as opposed to narrative driven ones.
The former is not something Nolan has ever done and he’s essentially the poster boy for the latter.

Hes getting exposed. Dunkirk and Tenet are big downsteps from Dark Knight and Inception.

So don't watch them if they aren't, the angst about them is so silly. |

He's a really popular and hyped up filmmaker, so that in turn causes people who don't like him to be louder than they normally would. It was similar I think with Peter Jackson when he was at the height of his fame in the early 2000s.

I think he’s definitely overrated, but I don’t hate his movies. I still really need to get around to watching Memento and Dunkirk. Debating if I should watch Interstellar.

I think his recent supposed behaviour, that he was the one actively pushing for the studio to put his movie out in the theatre because he gets like 20% of the opening box office even at the risk of his movie causing theatre's to try and jam pack their screens with Tenet to make up for their lack of business the last 6 months soured a lot of people, even it wasn't money related if it's true he was pushing for the release and against VOD release he looks bad, because either it's him being petty and pretentious about how his art is meant to be viewed even though 98-99% of the people who will see his movies will 99.999% of the time be seeing it at home and not the theatres so who really gives a fuck? or he's only thinking about his already full pockets and bulging bank accounts so either way fuck him because neither thing warrants a lack of care of compassion for people in a time of a pandemic, that's if it's true hopefully it isn't but just the accusations alone is likely enough to sour people. Plus yeah success breeds resentment, as does people constantly trying to shove him down peoples throats, so that's double the resentment at no extra cost with Nolan.

WB was never going to release the movie straight to video on demand. Anyone who believed that was a possibility is an idiot.

WB was never going to release the movie straight to video on demand. Anyone who believed that was a possibility is an idiot. Highly unlikely but not impossible, all depended on how long/bad the pandemic got, Disney is putting Mulan out for $30+ VOD and it had a comparable budget, and with Nolan taking 20% of the opening box office a potential VOD release atleast stateside could have been viable, if theatres stayed shut till Nov-Dec, as then they would want to push Wonder Woman out which is a much bigger money maker than a non-Batman Nolan film, and comes with additional revenue streams. But yeah not really about what was likely or not, but Nolan supposedly being more interested in his film getting the "proper" treatment over peoples health and well being, and that's what could sour a lot of people, not like Nolan comes across as mr warm and fuzzy either, seems plausible he might be that type of dude, because he hardly comes across as a man of the people.

I don’t get it. We’re making observations about Nolan’s personality now? Based on what? His movies?

I don’t get it. We’re making observations about Nolan’s personality now? Based on what? His movies? Nothing just that Nolan is someone who cares a lot about his films and film in general, I don't think I have ever seen a clip of him where he isn't looking like that, like never a video of him being sort of more relaxed and having a giggle, just usually serious and all business, and because of that it's easier for people to buy into reports that he was against going to VOD, he wanted the theatrical release and such, and regardless of why, because either he's just that obsessed with his films getting on the big screen or because he has money on the line, neither serve him well under that sort of rumour. Also not saying I believe it, just saying it doesn't sound too crazy, and we see how quick some are to take rumours and innuendo's as hard irrefutable facts, even when they make no sense or there's a more logical and reasonable alternative.

Can I just ask though, aside from the obnoxiousness of his fans, exactly what has he done to deserve hatred? He comes across as a pretty chill and normal guy.
