Tenet is one of those rare movies that actually gets much worse after rewatching.

Usually a movie after rewatching, it's the same movie, which is normal, or it gets better after repeated viewings.The reason movies usually get better, no matter how bad they were your first watch, is because you pick up on more details and more jokes.Interactions between characters become more enjoyable/funny/fascinating because you understand subtext better, or even little things like body movement, facial expression, glares.You understand the story better because you pick up on details you missed things the first time. You like characters better, cinematography, set design. Visual effects.Lots of people didn't enjoy Tenant because of Nolan's artistic choice for audio mixing, which gives priority to environment and score over dialogue.But what makes Tenant truly bad, and what ruins it's rewatchability...It's dialogue. The story doesn't matter as much if you have compelling dialogue and character interaction.This dialogue is so poor and unrealistic. The story is fine. You don't have to believe the story. As long as the characters do, and for a good reason.Nolan can have his ambitions. But he needs better dialogue.That's how grifters and mentalist and scammers are successful. Not because what they tell you makes sense. But because what they tell you makes sense because they can make you believe.That's all most movies are. Believing the unbelievable. Not because it makes sense. But character interaction and dialogue forces you to not care. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3rbQYCe
