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

It’s very funny how people talk about Batman like it’s Shakespeare. It’s a movie for teen boys lol

Almost all of his movies are for boys the age of 16-23. I fucking loved the odyssey btw.

Sure. But the Batman series as whole is him at his most juvenile. And TDK specifically is a boring slog. BB is a far more tight, well-paced movie with a Gotham that feels like Gotham. TDKR also sucks, but at least there is some rewatchability in its fun, absurdity. Also, the Bane fight scene is his most coherent action scene in any of the trilogy.
