2006 / Christopher Nolan > There’s really no other way to put it: This was a well-crafted film that I just couldn’t enjoy as much as I should have. It’s intricate and one can garner a lot of satisfaction dissecting each thread from beginning to end, but I personally couldn’t be motivated to care beyond the broad level. Coming from a person who finds Memento to be one of the most overrated films in history, one might think that I just have it in for Nolan—but I did enjoy Batman Begins and even found Insomnia to be fairly solid. Maybe the fact that Scarlett Johansson just can’t act was an issue, or maybe I just can’t get over the fact that Nolan’s knack for complicating matters just drives me insane. Alright, it’s probably the latter. At least The Dark Knight looks promising.
