It's pretty much impossible to replicate what made the original so entertaining, and even at its best, this is just a imitation. By conventional standards, it couldn't be called a good movie. The thing is, none of that matters much if you're having a good time. You may not remember too much about it after, but it's an easily digestible, entertaining ride while it lasts.

By the time it's done, you might not know what the hell's gone on, but it is exciting nevertheless. If it had paid as much attention to its writing and character work as it did to its visual and conceptual ambitions, it could have been a masterpiece instead of merely great. But it's still great. In the end, this isn't one of Nolan's most satisfying films. But after I've seen it four or five more times, maybe I'll change my mind.
