What happened to Mr. Christopher Nolan?

Rating: 3/10 (5 August 2012)

For the ones who are not acquainted with Mr. Christopher Nolan's work prior to the batman trilogy, the Dark Knight Rises is a good movie. Typical action movie, with effects, pursuits, betrayal and so onThe visual will keep you on the edge of your seat. This third film closes the loop to the two prior movies in the trilogy. We have the introduction of Catwoman (with a kind of a sensitive side) and the end might let us wonder if Christopher Nolan will keep making some other Batman movies since we get a hint we might have found a Robin for possible future Batman's adventure films.
But let's be honest, the plot is thin. If it was not for the main actors/ characters (found in each of the trilogy's movies) such as Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman and if it was not for the reputation of Christopher Nolan as an "once upon the time" great director, the movie might not be so popular. It seems that Christopher Nolan has sacrificed talent for big production films that bring money at the box office.
When you have seen Following (which is a cinema classic, made with less than 4000 English pounds), Memento (which is a piece of art), Prestige (which makes you want to watch it again as soon as you finish the first viewing), you cannot help wondering what happened to Mr. Christopher Nolan. Even Inception and Insomnia were still way above average and the first of the trilogy "Batman Begins" was interesting because it explored the origins of Batman (excellent idea). But there was no need for the second or third Batman movies. Nolan finally can now be placed among directors in an American/ Hollywood environment but, at what price? Maybe just a dollar figure!
If you like movies such as Mission Impossible or the alike, go see the Dark Knight Rises. If you like the genius of Mr. Christopher Nolan that we were lucky to discover in his first movies, please try to let him know that his talent should not be wasted anymore.
