"Just because an idea is overly convoluted and complex does not make it cool." -Stan Marsh

I would have to agree. Though this movie is visually appealing, the many twists and turns make it difficult to watch without getting a headache. It is a cool movie, entertaining at the least, but I don't get what the big hype is. Just another run of the mill action movie...But the acting was excellent and it had a very cool soundtrack, might be worth some peoples time, but in my opinion Nolan is nothing more than a less dull version of Michael bay. the only reason i say that is because there is at least an original plot, but an overly convoluted one that got everyone worked up. There are much better plots by more stylized and sophisticated directors that convey themes and messages much better through simplicity.
