When the Sheep sink...
Nolan is a magician who knows how to sell average for a premium and has a support of rabid loyalists who amplify the PR artillery. Those who don't belong to the loyalist fraternity, succumb to the peer pressure of agreeing to praise even forgettable, unoriginal work. I can definitely say neither this is his best work nor the film the best film of summer. It never picks up! Yes, the background score is great and definitely will win an Oscar for best score, design or editing but the film is not much about to take home.
Nolan is genius "product maker" and now a "better marketer", a rare case where the consumer is held responsible (considered dumb, juvenile, ignorant, gawky etc) if he doesn't find the product good and not Nolan. Moreover, the mistakes and flaws are celebrated as deliberate strokes of mastery. I saw countless articles floating on internet dubbing it as "the best war film ever", "best work of Nolan" etc.. There are better works on a backdrop of war than Dunkirk but never received praise as much this play fetch movie did. Hollow and shallow would be correct adjectives and not masterpiece and genius when describing average works.
You might wonder I haven't talked about the plot or characters, or the play with timelines and vantage point: the mole, the ship, and the air since there is not much to talk about. Especially the characters,
PS: no doubt the film is technically strong, be it the score, visual effects(quite a good amount) or camera work, the whole film is immersive.

This is a big budget and risky experiment(a musical) which reunites the best looking pair of our generation. It can be a fun watch with cousins and siblings. Though it might be one of the most beautiful and colorful film in recent memory, it could have been bit sharper and pacier.

Though the third act makes up for the slow first half, the film doesn't do much to take the story forward.

I am not a big fan of this new spidey who is plain right boring when it comes to experimentation with his suits and shooters and innovative tricks in battles supported by his wit and sarcasm . And enough of villains powered by salvaged tech with their only motive of existence is their hatred against Stark.

Bad luck with Being human
Even though Salman has put his best efforts to be a non macho or simply being a 'human', the film is simply a classic case of misdirection, be it the cast, scale or positioning. Kabir khan should have been brave enough to take more of a indie approach, with two real 20s blokes(and not two 50 year olds), a simpler scale and relatable settings. The music is average and the film never hits any high. Opportunity wasted. However IMHO Salman does deserve some cookies for his performance. Rather wait for @Tigerzindahai
PS: SRK and Bhai in one frame, not sure when we see that again
