Good, but nothing really great

Rating: 7/10 (20 October 2012)

Nolan is the world's most overrated filmmaker, he is good, but not that good! I mean, rated over Kubrick on IMDb? Please.
That's expected: to attract the mediocre masses one has to produce a mediocre cultural product. Anyway, this film is highly entertaining but it is nothing really special: just your conventional plot of an action film: some villain got a bomb to explode Manhattan, your hero needs to stop him, he does and that's it.
He does stuff in between, to fill the two hours, and here we also have the extensive use of well executed clichés that will appeal to those with less film viewning experience. For example, (spoilers!) Catwoman shows up in the end, after doing the Han Solo thing of saying: "I am out because I only care about my ass" and coming back to redeem the character. These sorts of action clichés permeate the film and hold it back a little for someone which has more experience watching films. But 13-year old kids will think this is the greatest film ever made.
