Ever since Oppenheimer was released, everyone has expected it to bag an Oscar award. While the world seemed to love it, Logan Paul was not a fan. In an episode of his podcast, ImPaulsive, he revealed that he had “walked out” of the theatre because he felt that there was too much “talking” in the film and not enough action. He continued by adding, “It’s all exposition. Nothing happened.”

While his comments sparked quite an uproar online, the YouTuber did not seem to be fazed. After all, it was not his first time hating on a globally loved work of art. Back in 204-15, the WWE star had made similar comments about Nolan’s Interstellar. However, now, the movie has landed on Paul’s list of favorite movies. That may not happen with Oppenheimer, but it looks like the rest of the world loved the film.
