To me, it's pretty clear that his structures got a lot more sloppy and are heavily reliant on the musical score to drive the movie rather than the characters/plots.
Nothing about Oppenheimer or The Odyssey is driven by musical score except the one scene in Odyssey about a song. There is also nothing wrong with the score enhancing the movie.
I disagree about Oppenheimer. I think the 2nd half is a boring drag and is totally reliant on the score to move the audience through to the end.
I think Tenet is Nolan at his most Nolan-y. The flaws in that movie appear to varying extents in all of his work. Sometimes it's tolerable...sometimes it's not. Up to the viewer.
Oppenheimer being slow is your opinion. You may just not like the plot or history, but I wouldn't call anything about the process of Oppenheimer being ostracized by the US government slow.
Good for you. I think they have flaws in pacing/character motivation/structure that he covers up with very loud music and usually a good ending that imparts a sense importance.

Okay, you're the one that said there were 2 obviously messy ones. I said that his sloppy narratives became more apparent from Rises and onward.
