And apparently Nolan movies are better than this


Yeah, right. This movie was amazing. I rarely rate movies 8, but this one totally deserved it. I still can't believe Inception has won 4 Oscars and is considered to be most epic mystery / sci-fi movies, give me a break. Inception mostly got that because of overrated director, well done visuals, and A list actors. This one has well developed story, and interesting any aspect. I felt amazing while watching this. It was touching, thrilling, and interesting. Screw Christopher Nolan, really.

MEMENTO was adapted from a published short story Nolan's brother wrote, Memento Mori.




There is no 'now', here.

Nolan is an excellent director, one of the best in the business at the moment. Out of all his movies, the only one that could possibly be ranked below Source Code is The Dark Knight Rises, his worse movie. And that's not even saying anything against Source Code, it's not a bad movie, but most of Nolan's work is far superior to it. Inception completely puts Source Code to shame as well, being superior in every way possible, and your criticisms of it are hollow and vague.

And if you want to make an argument against Nolan, maybe you could actually take the time to explain what you dislike about his movies so much.Repeatedly calling him overrated with no actual justification or evidence to validate your opinion, is pointless.

Hear here! Successful people always have unreasonable haters to shout unreasonable criticism.

Bob you are awesome. Well said pal.

I enjoyed "Source Code", but have to agree with you about "Inception".

"Inception" is close to perfect on the script and acting.

If you like sci-fi movies and the director of this movie, I urge you to check out Moon. It only has 1 actor and is amazing.

How could you compare the two? Source code, while entertaining, is riddled with plot holes where the writers wrote themselves into a corner with no wiggle room. The two central ideas don't even make sense: 1) that there was anything left of the dead guy to get memories from (he was incinerated before they knew of the first bomb and 2) that you can visit places and see things the dead guy never visited or saw. The movie was entertaining but this is unbelievably sloppy writing. A little extra effort and the writers could have found a way to answer these glaring problems. No one is going to believe that some modern-day programmers recreated the entire Chicago country side and city limits, down to the smallest details (like correct license plate numbers on every vehicle) and that one incinerated guy's last 8 minutes of memories would be sufficient to figure track the bomber off the train, to a parking lot... oh my God it's so stupid I can't go on! That said, I did enjoy the film for what it was. But to call this "amazing" and say everything Nolan writes is crap is ridiculous.
