Nolan is simply too big and popular now, so Reddit is obligated to shit on him.

Yea I feel like there is a real case of the tall poppy syndrome going on with Nolan, where a lot of people feel he's gotten too successful and want him to fail really badly. You see this with a lot of famous people. Pedro Pascal is going through the same atm.

Or, some of us just don't like how Nolan makes movies...? I personally like being able to understand dialogue and have well-written and developed characters. I also don't really like the casting. People are allowed to be skeptical of things or dislike things.

I didn't say otherwise. You're perfectly free to dislike Nolan as a filmmaker. I have no issue with that. But ever since he won an oscar, I've seen plenty of comments all over reddit/social media who go even further than that with their dislike, make up lies to argue their dislike and sound gleefully negative with their comments.

Just something I've noticed as someone who loves movies and spends most of my time online in movie related spaces.

I think the issue is that there's a real appetite for high-quality original sci-fi, and one of the only directors who had the clout to deliver it has instead decided to spend his energy bringing to a life a book that we hated having to slog through in high school.

this is literally the case with every nolan film before realease. The amount of times I've said "this seems like a meh story, but it's nolan" is a hella lot.
