I have also viewed the movie. It was intense, funny, surprising and a great watch, overall.
However,
There are things in this movie that are going to be picked apart to hell. It had some pacing issues at times where it felt like scenes that were inter-cut didn't mesh well timeline wise. Due to the inter-cutting, some plot set pieces that, in real-time, should have been done and over in a matter of seconds went on for minutes.
Story choices and the answers and non-answers to the questions that JJ Abrams asked in The Force Awakens are definitely going to irk some people. In fact, I can see it happening already. For me, I liked the subversion of these popular expectations. On the other hand, Some might feel, justifiably, that there were some opportunities missed or even intentionally dodged.

Ya I watched that. Pretty good.
Gory as ****. Stomping on heads and ****
Yeah, that was one of those movies that would have been cool to see in a theater with a large crowd. Easily the movie that got the most animated reactions out of me all year.

Anybody excited for Father Figures? It looks like the stupid buddy comedy that I typically enjoy. It has a lot of good comedic actors.

Dunkirk. Hated it. Probably partly due to watching on my phone and also i couldn't understand a lot of the dialogue (there isn't much) due to the accents.
Watching Mother now.... About halfway through and really liking it so far.

Yep. Dunkirk sucked. The dialogue was almost completely unintelligible due to Nolan pumping up the music. There was no backstory (other than some terribly cheesy and hollow text at the beginning) as to what exactly was going on in the war and so forth. Some of the plot made no sense to me. Like how we’re all these Allies on the beach and yet the Germans (or whomever, I forget) were shooting through that beached boat in which dudes were hiding for their lives? Where the hell were these Germans at to be able to do that without the Good guys knowing and shooting back? Also, how the hell would be a boat with all those holes in it carry out to sea that far? I’m assuming it happened in real life but who knows. Also, there was very little to show how these townspeople got together to save these dudes. An awful script and sound. I did like Murphy in it quite a bit and loved the aerial scenes as they were gorgeous and sweeping and felt original and like something cinematically original, though I’m sure they weren’t totally though I can’t think of any plane sequences in war other than Tora, Tora, Tora!
I have only heard good things about it but it seems people are divided. I guess they went with a original plot as opposed to Force Awakens and fans got upset over it. Well, people got upset over Force Awakens as well. Gotta see it.
