one of the few directors that still gets people excited


he makes consistent interedting work

reply

He feels like a modern day David Lean, his film's feel like events and must be seen in the cinema. I don't think he's made a bad film, maybe his debut film Following is his weakest work and even that is a good solid film. He's a bit like Stanley Kubrick in the sense, people knock or are lukewarm on it's release then a few years later end up been hailed as classics.

reply

Except that Kubrick's filmography is far more consistent in the quality department. Nolan has only two "great" films on his belt, Memento and Dunkirk. Inception has interesting ideas. The rest of his films are empty nonsense.

reply

Dunkirk??? hahahahahahahahahaha, that's the only bad film he's made.

reply

A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THE EXACT OPPOSITE.

reply

A lot of people think Dunkirk was a letdown.

reply

OKAY,THATS FAIR...A LOT OF POEPLE THINK IT WAS AMAZING....SHOULD WE ARMWRESTLE NOW?

reply

True Nolan fans know that it was one of his weaker films. If you want to watch a good war movie just watch Apocalypse Now or Platoon.

reply

"TRUE NOLAN FANS"...DID YOU RECEIVE A SECRET DECODER RING WHEN YOU JOINED?

reply

Strawman, I never said I did. People who appreciate Nolan like myself know that Dunkirk was a letdown, I so hope he redeems himself this summer with Tenet.

IT MUST BE COOL TO KNOW YOURE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE.🖕🏻

reply

Another strawman

reply

CANT BE A STRAWMAN IF YOU MADE NO POINT FOR ME TO SIDE STEP WITH MY OFF POINT RAMBLINGS...TRY HARDER.

reply

You asserted that I think I'm better than everyone else, I made no such claim

reply

LMAO...IF THATS WERE WE ARE...WE SHOULD STOP...YOURE OBVIOUSLY NOT EQUIPPED FOR RATIONAL CONVERSATION.

reply

Just admit you strawmaned me, you’d might as well at this point you’ve nothing to lose

reply

WOW.

reply

Denis Villeneuve is his rival and matches him

reply

DEPENDS HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT BORING RUNNER 2049 REALLY.

reply

Blade Runner 2049 was amazing, easily the best film of 2017.

reply

IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A 3 HOUR CAR COMMERCIAL THAT FORGOT THE CARS.

reply

Sorry it was too much for your short attention span.

reply

YOUR TENDENCY TO FALL BACK ON INSULTS SAYS WAY MORE ABOUT YOU THAN ANYONE YOURE ATTEMPTING TO HECTOR.

reply

I didn't insult you I said I understood your short attention span couldn't handle it, you're the one bitching about it being too long.

reply

DO YOU EVER SLOW DOWN AND CONSIDER THE ACTUAL MEANING BEHIND THE MESS YOU TYPE OUT?....

reply

Maybe you should be asking yourself that very same question?

reply

ITS LIKE TALKING TO AN ANGRY CHILD.

reply

Yet you're the one responding in all caps.

reply

YEAH,FOR 20 YEARS...HAS NOT A THING TO DO WITH YOU OR THE SUBJECT.

reply

I think you need to take a deep breath and calm down

reply

SEE?...YOU JUST CANT KEEP UP...NO WORRIES...I STILL LOVE YOU.💋

reply

Agreed. I thought it was the best film of the year. It should've at least gotten a nomination for Best Picture, but no, the Academy snubbed it.

It also should've made a lot of money. I thought it was going to do so much better at the box office than it did.

reply

Blade runner 2049 is one of the boringest movies I’ve ever seen

reply

AMEN

reply

True that...

reply

I thought that was Jude law

reply

He's pretty good, indeed.
