Same with Nolan honestly, overrated as fuck. Go back and watch the Nolan Batman and you’ll see some of the absolute worst action scenes and fight choreography in cinema. He also seems to take pride in being a pretentious fuck who interjects all his movies with fart art bullshit, instead of just focusing on making the movie watchable
The fact that Nolan puts in the effort to try to elevate his films above being popcorn slop is often what makes them stand out even if they sometimes fall short in other ways. If every director just painted by numbers then every movie would be a Marvel movie.
Nolan is like a try hard who can quite reach the level of artist he strives for even with a half a billion dollar budget.
Even with all his resources he’ll never come close to being a Sergio Leone or a Scorcese
I don't understand why you seem to think that this is a bad thing. Scorcese is a top ten of all time in his field - if every director who wasn't as good as he is just gave up then we wouldn't have any directors.
There's probably no movie that changed my life as much as Interstellar. It's literally one reason why I'm starting my master's thesis in physics now. So Nolan movies will always be something special for me.
Yeah, I admit that part is pretty bad (even though you can discard it as her interpretation without it being the message of the movie, but I can see the issue with that). My point still stands. Literally why I got into cosmology.
He's actually just wrong. Nolan has a lot of action scenes in a lot of his movies, and while some of them do suck most of them are actually pretty great.
Glad I'm not the only one with this opinion. Nolan films suck. Batman Begins was okay, though. But the second one was boring and I couldn't even finish the 3rd. Within seconds of hearing that ridiculous voice Bane was doing, I had to turn it off cause I couldn't stop laughing at how bad it sounded.
Interstellar was alright as well. But the second act felt rushed. Not a terrible film, just overrated as you said.
