Nolan showed promise more than a decade ago - albeit flawed, but entertaining - with "Memento," but it's been strictly downhill since then starting with the utterly predictable movie (I forget the name) about the twin brothers' magic act.

Except for Batman fans (average age: 16?), it has all been downhill since: nothing new, nothing of any serious entertainment value for anyone over 16. I guess there is a box office draw for that crowd.

"Dunkirk" tries SO HARD to be a film for adults, but it consists of one dreary, uninspired scene after another.

I left the cinema about 1/3 of the way in.

I think this shall be my final encounter with Nolan. There are too many other up-and-coming directors whose work deserves attention and evaluation.
