I guess people should know what they're talking about before making ridiculous claims, huh?

I don't quite understand the strange phenomena of cinephiles hating his films so nonchalantly. How could someone hate a film maker who's so tied to creating cinema at its purest form? It baffles me that people can't simply just let his films wash over you. Sure, he has yet to make his masterpiece and many of his films are flawed, but he's hardly a terrible film maker.

Actually, he's already made his masterpiece (Memento), and another near-masterpiece (The Prestige). Cinephiles hate on him because his only movies that have actually made money (the Batmans, Inception) are all good but flawed films, though they are universally adored by fanboys, and therefore tend to end up near the top of the IMDB top 250. People are idiots.

He should adapt a Kerouac book, his editing would be a perfect match with the rhythm of "Maggie Cassidy".

Dark Knight was 2007. No Inception. Total box office number is wrong. What is up with Nolan's bio?

Here I am, inbound from the nether regions of the Internet to set things straight: Christopher Nolan is an okay director. Not good, not great, but ok. As far as I'm concerned he's directed some good and one stellar performance, and also (his real achievement): one incredible car chase.

The amount of hate this man suffers on this site is bizarre. I'd expect more love considering he's practically the only artistic big budget Hollywood director in existence these days.

Even critics likes his films, but there is always a group of "I'm so Ingmar Bergman fan" people, that are more demanding than Roger Ebert. I love Nolan, and I love Bergman. Nobody can make me choose.

Um, Roger Ebert is demanding? Are there two Roger Eberts who write movie reviews?

A poor director who happens to get stuck with excellent actors and mediocre scripts with intriguing premises.

The nerd backlash to the critics makes him cool to hate. Haters gotta hate! But this guy is brilliant. His films are always exciting and he's having fun with the medium. They feel organically made as well - he's not referencing or making homages everywhere. He's a visionary.

This generation's Steven Spielberg? I think so. Steve is getting old so its good we have Chris. Micheal Bay and whoever else does big budget popcorn Hollywood fare can go away, shoo!

The High Priest of Bogus Solemn Crap -- Nolan's films are tedious, overblown, gimmick-laden, and devoid of any interest beyond the question of why they are so extravagantly overpraised.

He needs to make a movie about cars. Their mechanical exatitude would be right up his alley, and he's already proven that he can direct a damn fine car chase.

WRITE A FEMALE CHARACTER THAT HAS ACTUAL DEPTH or, you know, just fucking retire from filmmaking...

Whatsupwell, really not sure how Memento, The Prestige and Inception had strong, three-dimensional, female characters. They're either the femme fatale or the damsel.

Um, there are tons of femme fatales and damsels that are three dimensional? They aren't one dimensional by definition.

1. good timing sence director, as much as Alain Resnais. INCEPTION is interesting as Nolan's MURIEL or MARIENBAD. / 2. Cameron is big moneymaker, but he have no many fllmography. Lazy De Mille. but, Nolan is will be alternative director of hollywood, proper budget + keep working. / 3. about compare with Hitch. there are some difference. I think Nolan is illusionist, Hitch is constructor. / 4. similar tendency director with Nolan : Park Chan-wook, Alain Resnais, Sidney Lumet

I've read the negative comments made about him and I thought "Man, there are a lot of ignorant cunts out there".

A rare director, Nolan has yet to put out a film that isn't 'all-time' and every movie tops the last, he challenges not only the viewer but all other directors. There is no other director with a better list of great films to his name and in my opinion the only real genuis director there has ever been. If you don't realise it yet, Nolan is the greatest director of All-time and I'm loving it!
