Yes, it's me The Prestige. I told you people before but you wouldn't listen. Clearly Memento (which is still his signature film) wasn't enough to convince you 'film lovers' that Christopher Nolan is a force to be reckoned with. So what did he do? He stepped up and made his biggest challenge to date: A epic crime action drama (say superhero flick seems cheap) that was not only his first sequel, but possibly the biggest film anybody could have made this decade.
Nolan didn't disappoint with The Dark Knight. I'm not even going to bother saying what I think about the film as the work speaks for itself. It's not 5 stars like Memento. I still think a 5 star film should be a rarity. But, it's about 4 stars. Maybe 4 and a half.
Nolan's auteur signatures are in this film, too. The man can't do no wrong. He just TELLS the story too, and only gets all flash with the cameras when it's necessary. The man has considerable restraint, and I think Paul Thomas Anderson must've checkout out some Nolan films before starting work on There Will Be Blood.
Sedai, i've been reading your thoughts on The Dark Knight and you're a hyprocrite, mate. Saying how you think Christopher Nolan is all that and a bag of chips - you were dissing him last year. Or did you feel you had to attack my favourite director just to get to me? And Pyro Tramp, you're a lovely lad and a fellow Brit like me, but there were times where you weren't too great on Nolan and felt I was overrating him.
It's about time you lot ate your cornflakes and i'm glad the rest that tried to say Nolan wasn't 'that good' are now kissing his arse left right and centre. Talk about exposing yourselves as lemmings...
