The only excellent film Nolan has made


The rest have been overly long, plodding and intellectually thin

Naw, Memento and The Prestige are the only excellent films Nolan has made. The Prestige is anything but intellectually thin. It raises deep meaningful questions about 'self', and human perception.

Disagree completely. I haven't seen a movie he's made that I did not feel was excellent. I have seen all of his movies, save for Interatellar.

But, you are entitled to your opinion.

In Your opinion. I loved Inception, the Prestige and Memento. Interstellar is a top movie also. The batman movies are good but it's not really my bag the whole dark knight thing.

no... just no

I actually thought Memento, The Prestige, Inception and Interstellar were all very good. They all had strong plots, interesting characters and some philosophical ideas in them.

Didn't care for the others though, especially the Dark Knight Trilogy. Those were good for a one time watch, but that's it.

explain your 3/10 rating for 2001:a space odyssey before you can feel like smart..

I couldn't agree more. For the life of me, I can't see what people like in Inception, Interstellar, or his Batman movies. I guess because they appeal to people who want to feel smart, even though those movies hold your hand the entire way through and basically tell you how to feel and what to think.

Memento is a beautiful neo-noir that doesn't patronize me with any preachiness or ham-fisted rhetoric.
