Very similar movies all visuals no heart and no soul. Terrible movies
^you're joking, right? Please tell me you're joking?

A stunningly brilliant War opus from Christ-opher Jonathan James Nolan, completely redefining the way modern war movies will be done for decades to come, this and Wonder Woman LITERALLY saved the Summer!
Both a waste of film and time.
Gack inducing but at least Dunkirk won't be a shared universe franchise. The reception from alleged critics is silly because jaded critics dig Nolan. They have serious blinders on.

Nolan may be the overall superior filmmaker than Bay, but I had more enjoyment out of Bayhem 5 than I did over an overly-procedural "war" film with no characterization.
Dunkirk by far. Absolutely amazing.
on 7/22/2017
Very true. Dunkirk is an overly-procedural war film with no characterization and no heart. Every bit as numbing as any Transformers flick.

I can't believe what I'm reading! Transformers is winning against the greatest cinematic accomplishment since the days of Kubrick, WHAT? Dunkirk wins because of the filmmaking side to it alone! The real warships, real planes that don't instantly blow up after being hit a couple times, hundreds of extras, Hans Zimmer's haunting score and the editing. Practical effects and shooting on location adds a sense of weight, grit and realism; one reason why I hate CGI is because it lacks those things! And do you know what is filled with CGI and cartoon-ish effects? Transformers! At least, Dunkirk has a message and a point, Transformers has nothing! Dunkirk lacks characterisation because it's about something bigger than a story! In War, people don't sit around a campfire and talk about who's waiting for them back home; they fight to stay alive! Dunkirk has an excuse and because of that, it's the most satisfying and realistic war movie of all time! Transformers has nothing going for it and doesn't have an excuse for the bad script and lifeless characters (something that Dunkirk has; a good script with a lot tension and a unique structure).
Ellmac a.k.a. Falcon a.k.a Fontenella and his multiple other sock puppet account are notorious for taking films from directors who threaten their precious MCU's quality (a.k.a. Happy Madison for superheroes) and downvoting them on every board they can to try to help Marvel obtain non-existent victory when the vast majority of critics and fans have already determined Nolan's master-crafts as better than anything Stan Lee's overrated scibbles of fanfiction have ever produced.

Dunkirk is just lousy cinema. No excuses.
This is just an observation: Most of the rabid Dunkirk haters have Marvel films in their top 20s.
^^Haha, I realised that too!
Holy Ralph is Dunkirk a steaming dung pile. Seriously.

The trolls are taking over...
Pretty sure it's okay to enjoy Marvel movies too....

There isn't a single measurable aspect of Dunkirk that was enjoyable. At least Transformers gave us some eye candy.

Dunkirk is one of the few movies that succeed in allowing the viewer to put themselves in each situation. Why does it have this effect? Because of the amazing realism that Nolan creates, which generates an authentic tension. Unfortunately, lots of people today can't take realism and can only be entertained by things blowing up, flashy visual effects and over the top action sequences. Guess what movie falls into that category?

^snikers^ te he te he... yeah Dunkirk is pretty bad.

Seen Dunkirk twice now and, yep, it's still a masterpiece! There's hardly any character development or dialogue but the acting, the urgency, the realism, the score and the subtle hints at humanity still make it really intense. Movies by Stanley Kubrick resemble paintings and have hardly any character development but are still brilliant. So why are people faulting Dunkirk for the reasons why Kubrick movies are so loved?
Still a movie with no heart and no soul no matter how many times you see it or how hard you try and wish away its flaws.
on 8/14/2017
^^ I'm not trying wish away the flaws. And it does have heart and soul, it's just very subtle moments with the characters facial expressions, how the actors become their characters and the tension that is slowly building throughout the movie. I wanted Tom Hardy's character to land safety, I wanted the characters to make it home and when these things happen it's very emotionally satisfying. The movie's about the event and it's shot and edited is as if it's a painting. The audience is still emotionally persuaded and into the movie (in the two times I've seen it, there's been at least 3 times when nearly everyone in audience has gasped. How emotionally invested does an audience have to be in a film to gasp throughout it?). There's also a character who has a lot of tension from the beginning when he's seen tying his shoelace and buckling his belt next to a dead body. These are subtle things that if you blink you will miss it that adds a lot to the movie. The story is told visually and not spoonfed to the audience. Now that that's sorted and for the fifth time now, Dunkirk>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>How funny the comparison between these two films are>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Anything By Michael Bay.

Dunkirk was dull and "meh" but certainly not Bay or Snyder bad.
on 3/22/2018
I like Age of Extinction, but Dunkirk is a fantastic movie. Dunkirk wins by far.
on 10/1/2018
These movies are both just awful but in two different ways.
on 6/13/2020
i really wished this fucking site would stop comparing dunkirk to transformers in fact i wish this site would stop comparing michael bay movies to christopher nolan movies the only exception would be dunkirk vs pearl harbour but apart from that just fucking stop because 1 its unfair af and 2 i hate all of you nolan fans who try to belittle every other film ever made

Only the first 'Transformers' is good. The rest it sucks, it is like a video game with all the CGI, these kind of movies are either made for kids or adults with no brains.
on 6/25/2020
Yeah just what we thought.
It's true, only the first 'Transformers' is ok. The rest it sucks,yet even bad cgi nonsense beats the deadpan and awful Dunkirk.
* BTW- Dunkirk is soulless and doesn't even have the three act structure. That's why a lot of people don't relate to it or any faceless character in it's dull run time.
on 9/6/2020
Dunkirk is a pant load movie for sure.
on 5/16/2021
how is it that dunkirk had more comments than transformers and yet it only showed "5 comments"
It's a glitch and someone using multiple accounts just because he hates that a director did a great Batman trilogy.

It's genuinely disappointing as to how many people here seem to dislike Dunkirk. For me, it's a pretty easy choice
on 9/25/2022
I find it weird that each of the votes for Transformers seem to have the same speech pattern... Dunkirk is so much better that it's not even funny
on 10/17/2022
Dunkirk is one of the few movies that actually shows war as horror. It's a strangely human movie despite not developing any of its characters (which works to its advantages), but it shows the full scale of Dunkirk. Hans Zimmer has never been better, the tension is at a constant rise, the cinematography is steady and shows how far Nolan has matured, and the story is impeccably structured. Transformers...really?
on 1/30/2023
Seriously what in Ohio is this? Every single person person who went with Transformers have an IQ lower than Mr. Bean and Forrest Gump
on 7/22/2023
Came here to show my support for Dunkirk, one of the best war movies of the past decade, and my disdain for Age of Extinction, one of Michael Bay's worst, and most exhausting, films.
