A+++, ***** out of *****, 10/10.
THE event film of 2010 and the film that officially made the WORLD recognize Nolan as the official heir apparent to Stanley Kubrick. |

It just came off a 500K+ weekend thanks to dollar theaters with less than 1M to go.
Yeah, it'll get there. |

| What has imitated TDK since? Avengers, Man of Steel, TASM 1/2, Captain America 2, Skyfall. And those are just the obvious ones. How ever many titles you come up with, Spider-Man always has more. Not to mention that The Avengers, Captain America 2 and TASM 1/2 were not influenced by TDK at all. I'm ... |

Overrated
Joss Whedon
Tim Burton
Zack Snyder
Neil Burger
Jon Favreau
Underrated
If only due to the ridiculous, impotent backlash from jealous, spiteful fans of other inferior directors who have been left in his shadow and eaten his dust... Christopher Nolan. |

Well, Nolan's never made a film as bad as The Game, Benjamin Button or A3, and TDK/Memento rank up there with the absolute best Fincher could ever conceive or creating.
So, Nolan. |

| F Revenge of the Fallen Redux. Pure trash from the get-go. This film, possibly more than any installment of the MCU thus far, is the prime example of why I refer to Marvel Studios as Happy Madison for Superheroes . Though maybe I'm jumping the gun... at least Sandler and Co. made Kat Dennings toler... |

X2 fell to 17M in its 3rd weekend when Matrix Reloaded debuted.
TASM fell to 10M after TDKR hit theaters
