10 Movies Which Insult Your Intelligence

Christopher Nolan is clearly desperate to direct a James Bond movie. Need proof? 2020’s Tenet, a Bond movie that replaced 007 with a confusing time manipulation gimmick. 

Starring John David Washington as “The Protagonist” (that’s his actual name), Tenet explores a world in which people and objects can be engineered to travel backwards in time whilst the rest of the world moves forward. The reason why this is important… uhh… uhh… honestly, not a clue. 

Stuff goes backwards in time; that’s it. Everything else that happens in Tenet is completely inconsequential and, most of the time, extremely confusing.

Take the final battle scene, where two groups of soldiers from the same side converge on a singular target, one from the present and one from the future. This probably makes sense on paper, but in reality, it just looks like they’re shooting at themselves.

If only this was the only part that made no sense. 

To expect audiences to follow along with this nonsense was a huge ask, especially as the world was still in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic when this film was released.
