This was worst movie Nolan has ever produced. Unnecessary theatricality, music and hyped dialogues to make people feel about the grandeur of the movie was his old tactics, which he used in movies like Dark knight. However, such movies like Dark knight requires such theatricality, because they give room for creation. In a dramatic biopic, it hardly is the case, where continuity of story and realistic scenes with simplicity and inviting public imagination are enough. For example, in imitation game, Morten Tyldum made a great movie without even detonating a bomb, what I meant that he didn't need to create a scene grandeur, the events itself take the movie to formation of a grandeur moment of the discovery that Alan makes. Scorcese or Morten Tyldum are way better at telling movies like these biopics.
Nolan is more suitable for fiction, and his general methods don't apply to biopics and help originality of the film. People have unnecessarily hyped being Nolan's blind followers.
