Christopher Nolan has undoubtedly become one of the most important names in the business of contemporary filmed entertainment.He has taken us to places we did not know existed.He singlehandedly revived a languishing cartoon franchise and placed it in the pantheon of unforgettable classics. In his new adventure he takes on the uncharted universe of the subconscious. The premise in its scope is intriguing and unconceivable ambitious.he relies on the best movie making talent only a major movie studio can buy to achieve his goal.The special effects are terrific, the acting is pretty good, and the dialogue is also good, but the journey that started as an unrestrained adventure into the realms of the human thought generating universe turned half way thru into a tale of semi confusing scenes. The story never comes anywhere near of seducing its audience. The emotional factor is completely absent.The movie is worth watching and it does stand out mostly due to lack of quality competition, but it should not be an Oscar nominee. Christopher Nolan has done better work.
Christopher Nolan has effectively raised the bar for movie makers everywhere (Including the big American cojunas)in terms of execution, and for movie goers in terms of expectations. This film works on every single level. The cast is excellent.. Christian Bale delivers again as the best batman the franchise has ever produced.Although not perfect, Mrs Gyllenhal does a very good job as The Vigilante's love interest and not as aesthetically appealing as Katie Holms but much more credible .Aaron Eckhart comes as the dark horse of this film, who would have thought Mister cool had those types of acting chops in him? credit to the whip of Mr. Nolan.The screenplay is pure gold!The dialogue are cunning, straight, and emotionally mature.you couldn't find any cliché or meaningless word in here. It is a pity this movie did no receive the academy nomination, it has been a long time since the last time i watched a movie as good as this. In true, Mr Nolan has anointed himself new king of Hollywood, This movie is indeed pure cinematic art,it has action, drama,comedy, it has everything, and it also has a great uplifting ending. Hail to the new king of movies and keep on making them!
The movie starts out really well.The casting is great, the settings are believable. The dialogue are very good, they inform you, keep you intrigued. The direction is flawless, but thats were the positives end.This is a character driven story, you take Daniel Lewis out of it and you end up with a mediocre and dark story.Dano nails his character at the beginning but overacts a bit towards the end, you don't really get to learn much about his character except that he is an avid and fanatical prophet. The story is appealing and fresh until Plainview achieves his goal of becoming a millionaire, after that it falls into a tale of unmotivated excesses, crime, and murder, and yes, blood! An epic of this scale usually offers a couple of sweeping vistas but not here, wrong address. The movie feels a bit confined throughout. It doesn't really have a clear message and it doesn't have any redeeming qualities.Still, it is a movie worth watching but as far as calling it a masterpiece, well, it isn't the case, it falls way short of achieving that goal.nevertheless, it is worth watching.
