Let me say up front that I don't think Nolan is a bad or thoroughly incompetent director, just a successfully pedestrian one. His Comic-Con fan base makes extravagant claims for each new film -- particularly since Nolan began producing his graphic-novel blockbusters with "Batman Begins" in 2005 -- but the movies are hobbled by thesis-statement screenplays that strain for significance and an ungainly directing style that seems incapable of, and uninterested in, illustrating more than one thing at a time: "Look at this. Now look at this. Now look at this. Now here's some dialogue to explain the movie's fictional rules. Now a character will tell you what he represents and what his goals are." And so on ... You won't experience the thrill of discovery while looking around in a Nolan frame. You'll see the one thing he wants you to see, but everything around it is dead space.

This post totally sums up my thoughts on Nolan. Enjoyable films, but not good. |

Just saw it. For a blockbuster it was quite well done.:happy2:
Kind of on the long side though. I wanted to fall asleep at times... right now, for instance. |

| Not a bad movie but not a great one either. It was pretty much what I expected from Nolan. Bane was my favorite character and as expected, Batman was my least favorite. Bale plays a good Bruce Wayne but he just looks and sounds very silly in that costume. I thought the story was put together pretty well and it looked like Nolan took some ideas from past Batman comics, unless it was just coincidence. |

For the first half I was like "oh my god what an awesome person this must be, even if it's a fatty" and then he started talking about sucking his dick and it dawned on me that this was not written by a woman. |

Yeah, with a new director :) I really want to see a Batman movie directed and written by Kevin Smith. :D
After seeing Red State, I am certain he would be able to retain the new gloomy feeling of the new movies, while also taking it back a step into the more fun Batman. Not too mention bonerific dialog between Batman and side-kick. |
