He makes movies for teenage boys and manchildren who think they're much smarter than they actually are.

Cant say I disagree. Hes basically another J.J. abrams. His movies are popcorn flicks on a basic level. I appreciate what he did for Batman though.

He would definitely be better off if he hired someone that knew how to write.

That may be his target demographic, but that doesnt make him any less of a great filmmaker.

Only thing I've never liked about his stuff is the editing of action sequences. The fight and chase scenes in all of the Dark Knight films are as frantic and incoherent as ones you would see in a Michael Bay Transformers movie.

Everything else about his movies are usually fine.

beyond the batman movies i cant name any of his work, and the only negative thing i can say about those is the camera work can give you whiplash and the way he handles audio is bullshit.

The Prestige, Inception, Interstellar? I'm sure you've seen at least one.

i would say making movies for mass audience that aren't braindead (even if they don't always work 100%) should be commended

Pretty talented hack imo. He can sell the cinematic virtues of his films a lot better than Michael Bay, and is clearly a much smarter person, but I still find them to be ultimately much less intelligent and substantial than his style would have them be. Also the cop worship in Dark Knight Rises is fucking hilarious and amazing. I can't even hate it. I'm glad it exists.

Dark Knight and Interstellar are the only ones that really work for me, even though the former gets by on bombast alone.

Agreed - beyond the narrative style, the themes were really well developed

I agree with this.

Also he can't write good dialogue, it's like an alien or robot is writing his films

I only like 3 of his films.

The Prestige
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight

The rest of it ranges from okay to really bad IMO.

Every film of his I've seen is competent but really boring.

Also wanna say I dont consider Inception as much complicated as I would convoluted.

True, I'd consider Memento and The Prestige more complicated

I'll admit I havent seen Memento but next time I have a go at Nolan that's the one I wanna see based on what I've heard. Prestige I've seen but it's got the longest gap in my memory so I dont remember it as well as Inception, Dunkirk, or The Batman films.

It's the first one I saw since I heard "The new Batman director did a really cool film called Memento" and rushed to see it back in 2002ish :p
