Nolan needed a different architect on this one...

Rating: 1/10 (23 July 2010)

I had a review all written up but after reading many others, most of what blows about this film has been covered. I'll keep it brief.
However, I didn't put much faith into a review from anyone who didn't like it but uses a phrase something like, "maybe I'm just not clever enough..." That kind of sentiment pretty much speaks for itself.
It has some good ideas but then hell, so do I. I have some great plot devices and mind-benders. But there's the problem of writing a story with interesting characters and dialogue and conflict and resolution and...you get it? Nolan has the plot devices and the mindbleep ending and a bunch of Crisco® in between.
I agree with others who have stated in their reviews, if he was willing to broach this subject he should have done more research and dug a little deeper. The possibilities were endless and I was hoping for something far more challenging.
Then again based on the returns, I guess this was the way to go.
Meat for men and milk for babes.
This film is milk.
