I love Christopher Nolan. I think he is a fantastic filmmaker. As far as I’m concerned he’s 4 from 4 and the person responsible for my favourite ever movie: The Prestige. I don’t know what the deal is, whether Christian Bale is advantaging from Nolan or the other way round but this pairing has me salivating. The Prestige is probably the best cast movie I have ever seen and as for the absolute genius of the script and direction, I can’t praise it highly enough! Hugh Jackman too, fantastic!
Nolan has made the superhero movie the way it should be made with Batman Begins. The dark brooding atmosphere fits perfectly with the dystopic Gotham City. The script is top notch as well and rewards re-watching unlike most superhero movies. Just compare it to the Fantastic Four, X-Men or Spiderman to see how much better it is a film, it borders on the artistic which is unheard of for a comic-book action blockbuster. Maybe my only complaint could be the underwhelming music which may just hold this back as a classic but bring on The Dark Knight! It is no mean feat to eclipse Tim Burton but I think Nolan’s version of Batman has the intricacies and atmosphere to pull it off.
