Nolan's weakest

Rating: 5/10 (30 July 2012)

What a disappointment! A structural mess of a movie, short of anything memorable. Clunky, poorly executed action set-pieces devoid of the scope and elegance I've come to expect from Nolan, plot holes, nonsensical story developments and a villain that triggers no emotion whatsoever. Also, for a director whom I have come to appreciate for his originality, this is a blandly unoriginal effort that at times reminded me of Pierce Brosnan Bond days.
Sure, it makes you cringe at times, laugh at others, holds a couple of surprises and it is entertaining, don't get me wrong. But even with all that and its forced epic scope, this is still Nolan's worst film to date.
