Logan Paul recently shared his unfiltered thoughts, highlighting his dissatisfaction with the film’s excessive exposition and limited action.
“I walked out of Oppenheimer. I didn’t know what they were trying [to do]. ‘What are you doing?’ Everyone’s just talking. It’s just an hour and a half, 90 minutes, of talking, just talking, talking… It’s all exposition. Nothing happened.”
