Robert Eggers cares about the craftsmanship of his movies. Christopher Nolan cares about winning Oscars.
The Nolan Batman movies are insanely overrated. The first one has maybe the biggest plot hole I can recall in a major motion picture. The second one was carried by one brilliant performance. And the third one is just pants-on-head retarded almost start to finish.
Nolan's best films are momento and the prestige.
Don't know if it's what you are referring to, but the retarded McGuffin in that movie drives me absolutely nuts. Any kind of microwave emitter that would instantly "vaporize your enemy's water supply" would also instantly vaporize your enemy.
The thing would be a god damned WMD. And even if it did work as described in the movie, everyone would have just been burned to death by all of the steam released along with the "toxin".
TLDR: BB is way more retarded than TDKR
Basically the same plot hole: the deadly toxin in the city's water supply would have been triggered weeks earlier by anyone taking a hot shower or boiling a pot of water.
Regarding Dark Knight Rises: the bad guys captured tens of thousands of police underground? Where they survived for an extended period without food, water, or infrastructure? And then they were all freed and immediately ready to fight a war? Wut?
To be fair, they did show a short sequence where Bane's men were lowering buckets of food and supploes down to the police in the tunnels.
But the lack of facilities to take a dump would have killed them, even if they did have food and water. None of them could have survived three months living in the feces of several thousand grown men.
I think I've only seen The Northman, but if there's a decent modern movie creator still out there maybe I need to watch. I have been going backwards in time regarding movies with the assumption anything new sucks.
Honestly, my view on the Batman movies is probably skewed in that I don't really care for any of the other ones (I guess the Burton ones, haven't seen whatever that one in the last couple years was) and probably in a way don't really care for Batman at all. So the Nolan ones are a little less outlandish. At least the first two. I haven't watched the third one in ages.
You're right Memento and The Prestige were good. I didn't mind Interstellar, and I don't think I've seen any of his new stuff which seem to be the Oscar winners mostly. Inception was interesting but highly overrated.
I think The Witch is legitimately great. The Lighthouse isn't my favorite, but everyone involved is fucking going for it. Nosferatu is his worst movie by far, but it's not insulting.
I still like the philosophy in BB. Its some of the best ive seen. Nothing bears Liam Neeson training Bale in the mountains.
