What 'bad' movie has Nolan done? Some were better than others, but I wouldn't categorize any of his films as bad or terrible...

reply

I’d personally categorise Interstellar as terrible, but I was never a huge fan of his to begin with.

reply

In Nolan's case, it's not that has done a bad movie, but rather any film that he does that comes out is praised as an amazing film.

M. Night Shyamalan

I do agree with your statement regarding Tarantino. He’s one of my favorites and I feel like he’s constantly slammed by critics and public alike. No free pass in my opinion.

Soderbergh

I used to be such a fan of his. I haven't liked a movie he's done since the Che movies.

Edit: I forgot about Logan Lucky. Good film.
