I think Christopher Nolan's films often miss, rather than hit because he's usually wrong about the important things to focus on. I'm sure he'll make a better film than I ever could, but that's not the point. He spent a daft amount of time working out how to avoid CGI for Oppenheimer as though that was the big deal. He managed to create an unconvincing, frankly disappointing explosion, while all the interesting possibilities about what was actually going on slipped away. Inception was a film with some enjoyable moments but in the end, insubstantial waffle about a "high concept" story. Interstellar is pretty and good to look at, he didn't avoid CGI, but packed to the gills with as many sleight-of-hand fluff-scenes as any Sinbad movie from the 1950s, with less story beyond the rather dumb twist he shoehorned in. Tenet is just awful. Dunkirk is OK, but way over-rated. 

Come to think of it, is he actually getting worse as a director? 

Barbie? There's another on my own to-watch list. They say it's good. 

I have Tenet on deck. Nolan has some interesting pop-oriented ideas, which aren't as deep as he's trying to pass off, yet reasonably entertaining in the way of blockbuster fluff.

Yeah honestly the only Nolan film I enjoyed even a little was Interstellar (which I liked quite a lot). But the more I see of his stuff, the more I think it's kinda insulting to the audience.

I'm expecting to hate Barbie. But I'd be happy to be surprised.

Tenet is pretty weird, it's objectively probably quite bad but there's some stuff going on that interested me all the same. I heard scuttlebutt that it was a rejected Bond script originally which would've been a fun thing to see.

I haven't seen Memento since just before it went on full release, I'm gonna try that again soon.

I quite liked Inception, the Batmans, and The Prestige. Like too many talented directors his work waxed overblown and turgid as he gained overconfidence and bloated budgets.

Yeah, I'm developing a growing respect for directors like Soderbergh (whom you mentioned in another thread recently) who seem to just make whatever they fancy and not fall into that trap. For example he just made that (relatively) very low budget film Presence, which looks cool. I've never really paid him much attention before but I may have a little Soderbergh buffet over the next few weeks.
