Dear Santa,

Could you please, please, please arrange to make it possible that I never have to sit through another execrable pile of utter garbage that has become the standard level of effluvium Nolan seems to regularly pitch out, all dressed up in it's sparkly Emperors New Clothes?

Memento was astonishingly brilliant on a budget of several shillings. Insomnia likewise. Batman Begins was a welcome re-invigoration of a franchise which had previously become something to ridicule.

And then came the seriously big budgets. Which exponentially reduced the credibility of any plot. Or story. And here we are at a new cinematic low which worryingly garners this level of praise. Presumably because it has big special effects.

Empty. Shallow. Bombastic. Unengaging. Risible. Crap.

Oh......and a new train set would be tops!!! Thanks..
