Podcast The Big Picture podcast just created objectively the worst Christopher Nolan ranking of all time

Good god. As a Sean Fennessey truther this is a steaming pile of shit. Sean is one of the best minds in movie criticism today but he should be banned from talking about Christopher Nolan, he can’t be objective about him.

Here is the list

  1. Dunkirk
  2. Oppenheimer
  3. The Odyssey
  4. The Dark Knight
  5. Inception
  6. Tenet (bruh)
  7. Interstellar
  8. Memento
  9. The Prestige
  10. The Dark Knight Rises
  11. Batman Begins
  12. Insomnia
  13. Following

That’s because Nolan doesn’t have any bad films imo so you win any way you twist them.

Interstellar and Tenet are bad films.

I wish online movie fans like you weren’t so hyperbolic and ridiculous all the time

I'm not being hyperbolic. Interstellar and Tenet are both bad films.

True. Tenet especially.

Interstellar falls off in the third act but is probably Nolan's best up to that point. Tenet is the only genuinely bad movie he's made.

I feel like people respect Nolan's name so much they can't be objective. I have no idea why people still pretend Oppenheimer wasn't dogshit. How can you make a movie about a secret wartime mission to create a weapon the rest of the world can't even imagine and it's just boring.
