Oppenheimer was fantastic. I don't need any action whatsoever to thoroughly enjoy a movie though. In fact, I really dislike movies that have too much action. Can't stand the superhero and comic movies... but that's just me.
Dialogue can make a movie IMO.
Totally fair. To be clear, I am not a huge action guy either. If you looked at the movies with 5 stars on my Letterboxd, with the exception of LOTR, it’s David Lynch, Wong Kar Wai, and other films where arguably literally nothing happens, but have moved me to tears. I specifically would not go to Christopher Nolan looking for great dialogue. He does many things generally well (scale, casting, pacing, action sequences), but I think dialogue is his worst skill. I might have liked another director’s Oppenheimer, Nolan was particularly poorly suited
