Expectations were obviously there but the social media’s verdict says that it exceeds the expectations. When you see the screen, “a film by Christopher Nolan”, you build expectations, and most times it delivers. Tenet was sort of underwhelming by most viewers but Oppenheimer created a phenomenal buzz.
Now, a few shows of Oppenheimer took place and people are expressing their thoughts and opinions on the social media and it looks good for the makers.
Netizens are marking it as a masterpiece and some are saying that it’s better than ‘Prestige’. And you will get goosebumps with ‘Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds’.
Let’s go through the social media reactions.
A user notes it as ‘simply outstanding’. What else can you say?
Another user took a critic’s hat and told it an opportunity for Murphy to grab the Oscar. “#Oppenheimer is an overrated movie
That solely exists only to finally make Cillian Murphy WIN @TheAcademy #Oscars this #Oscars2024″.
A user also appreciated Nolan’s bravery regarding the casting of Murphy. The user said that, “I’m sad. Sad that it took a filmmaker this long to have the confidence in Cillian Murphy to lead in their film. He will be nominated (and likely win) best actor at next years Oscar’s. Thankful he’s finally getting his flowers. BRAVO. #Oppenheimer”
Some users also appreciated the sound and editing along with the direction. The user tweeted, “#Oppenheimer I enjoyed the movie to a large extent. The way sound and editing were used in synchrony is just batshit crazy! The acting was just perfect in every sequence. Since the movie was extremely dialogue heavy and they don’t even take a millisecond of breath in between each..”
Talking about a similar thing, another user adds, “#Oppenheimer was monumental. Christopher Nolan’s best movie to date, with soaring score by Ludwig Goransson and impeccable cast of Hollywood faces (led by Cillian Murphy and surely an Oscar take by RDJ). ‘Epic’ undersells it. It is essential viewing that leaves you in silence”
Overall, the internet shares a wave of positivity towards the new Nolan project. The cast has been appreciated by the social media. Some are even calling it the best movie of 2023. We still didn’t receive the box office numbers but the social media reactions indeed leave a positive mark.

#Oppenheimer is an exquisite yet tense piece of artistry that takes the biopic genre to another level. Christopher Nolan’s screenplay and tech genius direction give Cillian Murphy the ammunition to fire out a career-best performance, backed up by an outstanding cast ensemble. https://t.co/btlWU1nhkW pic.twitter.com/V1RwJx9Rdg

#Oppenheimer is a breathtaking masterpiece by Christopher Nolan. It's an unforgettable tour de force with outstanding performances from Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. The background score is a 10/10; visually stunning!

For me right now it's his best since The Dark Knight and maybe number 2. Obviously, research would help but I think I'm feeling like this is his second-best work.

I’ll need a couple more viewings to process my thoughts on #Oppenheimer, but my initial impression: the Trinity sequence is one of the best directed moments in Nolan’s career, it has some of the most terrifying scenes in any film this year, and it has Nolan’s best ending. pic.twitter.com/NqzslmrVKf

#ChristopherNolan : "I try not to think of actors as I write, but Cillian’s eyes were the only eyes I know that can project that intensity And there was another thing ; I knew he was one of the great actors of his generation"♥️#CillianMurphy #Oppenheimer pic.twitter.com/ehfHAgZ8TN
