Oppenheimer is one of the biggest premieres this year, as the film is a critical and commercial success with a 93% Rotten Tomatoes rating and over $700 million box office gross. Even though many of us have waxed lyrical about the Christopher Nolan-helmed biopic, there is one man who was not impressed. That man is Logan Paul, the wrestler and social media influencer.
Oppenheimer is in such demand that theaters agreed to extend its run on IMAX 70mm screens until the end of August, at the very least. Naturally, it's also widely discussed online, with the overwhelming opinion being praise. Naturally, this makes any performatively contrarian take a traffic magnet.
Recently, Paul invited the YouTube duo RackaRacka on his Impaulsive podcast for a conversation. Among other things, they talked about RackaRacka's A24 hit horror movie Talk to Me. During the discussion, Paul commended the twin brothers for the film's success before commenting that it has a higher Rotten Tomatoes rating than Oppenheimer.
Paul then revealed that he's not a fan of Oppenheimer. Even worse, he said he had attempted to watch the film in a cinema but couldn't sit through it. Instead, he walked out about halfway through. Walking out of movies is often seen as the strongest criticism the average audience-goer can pull.
