#ED Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Nolan is overrated in that he is not the Messiah like the diehard Nolanites here and elsewhere on the internet believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It has a powerful message but I just CAN'T get past the acting. Atrociously bad from basically every cast member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK Tech Girl Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Nolan is overrated in that he is not the Messiah like the diehard Nolanites here and elsewhere on the internet believe. Apparently these people enjoy bleak, pseudo-clever, emotionally vacant storytelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I love Nolan, but I can't stand many Nolan fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Chris Nolan: He films on film (though digital directors produce great work as well), sparsely uses computer generated images unless absolutely necessary, and dedicates himself to his projects entirely. As a director, he takes a stance on being genuinely inventive and outgoing with his work. It makes no sense to have what Nolan has and then produce complete schlock. Schlock without merit, without credential, and without standing doesn’t get you an audience. Nolan is successful because his films do have a major audience and that audience wants to see more of his work. whatculture.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I love Nolan, but I can't stand many Nolan fans. Same, Cameron's are even worse, though there are a lot fewer of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Same, Cameron's are even worse, though there are a lot fewer of them. Cameron has been around for about 30 years now and has about the same amount of movies as Nolan.

vc2002 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Same, Cameron's are even worse, though there are a lot fewer of them. Not nearly as bad as Cameron haters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vc2002 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 So this thread has quickly became, as most threads about "overrated" did, a list about the "most highly-rated directors". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Not nearly as bad as Cameron haters. I'll be the first to say I enjoy his movies. All of them. I just think his chances at fucking up are slim because he doesn't make enough movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge a fan of everything hes done except The Abyss and Avatar, especially Avatar hehe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm tempted to say Guy Ritchie for his two awful Sherlock Holmes films, but I haven't seen anything else he's done. David Fincher Ridley Scott (although I think more people are starting to realize how flawed he is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Fincher Ridley Scott (although I think more people are starting to realize how flawed he is) Ridley Scott has had some duds like Robin Hood but his next 2 films, The Counselor and Exodus will be awards contenders.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 So this thread has quickly became, as most threads about "overrated" did, a list about the "most highly-rated directors". Which inevitably then turns into Nolan VS Cameron ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Personally I feel like I'm in no position in my life to call Spielberg and Scorsese overrated. I'm glad some of you guys are, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Miller Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Apparently these people enjoy bleak, pseudo-clever, emotionally vacant storytelling. This is my biggest problem with Nolan's films. I can't recall ever caring about any of the characters or situations in any of his films. I'm not sure why, but they never click with me on an emotional level.
