Well done, Christopher Nolan! A very successful attempt to recreate the story of Bruce Wayne (Batman) in a realistic, dark way, totally different, however, from Tim Burton, whose films I also like very much.
In this case - Nolan behind the camera is perfect. He creates suspense very well, the action scenes are well shot, and Christian Bale in the lead role is the perfect choice. The way he turns into the Black Knight is super, super interesting and a joy to the eye. Liam Neeson is very well cast as his teacher, whose character has very questionable moral principles. Young Killian Murphy also gets kudos for his work here. Katie Holmes and Gary Oldman are very cool, and Michael Caine is probably the best thing in the whole film.
The ending is brutally cool and sets everything up perfectly for the next film in Nolan's trilogy, The Dark Knight (2008), which in turn is already for me one of the greatest films ever made thanks of course to the late Heath Ledger.
What I didn't like - maybe the pacing at times; it was kind of boring as the villain in the film isn't particularly interesting and the last 30 minutes weren't anything impressive except for the last scene.
Final score: 7/10.

The movie is cool, at least as I recall. DeNiro is perfect in his role as a man who is fed up with the evil society and turns against everyone - he portrays the role of a sociopath perfectly.
The story is interesting, brilliantly filmed and told. After all, the director is none other than Martin Scorsese :)
Not my type of story though and maybe that's why I've downgraded a bit, but then again if I watch it now as an older I might change my mind.
Overall I enjoyed it and I think every person who likes 70's cinema should watch this Scorsese classic. Quite a few new films are trying to imitate DeNiro's character.
Final score: 6/10.

A phenomenally shot and acted war film. Congratulations to the cinematographer and director who set out to shoot the film as if it was a One-Shot all along!
The cast is super interesting - well-known actors appear in between and play key roles to the story. Lead actor George MacKay steals the show of course - very well done.
The tension is non-stop and "1917" (2019) is watchable in one breath. The only reason why I don't rate the film a 9 or 10 out of 10 is that there were 3 scenes that were extremely unrealistic and that annoyed me a bit, but everything else is perfectly polished.
Congratulations!
