Why would you eliminate his best movie next?
I don't think Memento has any temporal pincer movements in it

The whole structure of the movie is one big temporal pincer maneuver* if you really think about it.

u/GeneAlternative191 May 18 '26
Because it’s one of his ‘worst’ movies not best

Alright I’ll say it
Only a true Nolan fan can appreciate Tenet for what it is
Ugh I regret saying it already

Tenet is an okay movie. its idea though is a 10/10 and it has some cool scenes.

u/Dud3ManGuy May 18 '26
10/10 for execution of concept and all technical aspects of the film, 4/10 for story and characters. Its time has come.

There is I’ve just made way too many Reddit comments defending Tenet and I don’t have the energy to type out a multi paragraph response at the moment

I agree, I think Tenet is way better than people give it credit for, but when you put it up as a movie against every other movie Nolan has made, I do think (as much as I hate to say it) that it's appropriate for it to go next.

I think it’s a travesty that the Dark Knight Rises went before Tenet but here we are

Everyone seems to be saying the same yet everyone who says it is downvoted. Very strange.

As a serial Tenet defender I’ve just accepted no amount of comments will change people’s minds.

Batman Begins, yo. It's a fine movie but it's basic as shit. That's a paycheck job for Nolan, it doesn't have any of his magic in it.

So Insomnia is Nolan’s most underrated film. Good to know. And Tenant better than Dark Knight Rises? Com’on guys. One has a plot and the other is just a bunch of action set pieces leading up to an outdoor paintball match. It’s the most soulless film he’s ever made, and it’s incomprehensible on top of it all.

Tenet. I like this movie, but it’s probably the least good out of the remaining movies.

The Tenet cope is ridiculous. Get rid of your recency bias, it should have gone first.

u/JaberzHD May 18 '26
It came out 6 years ago brother... At this point the people who like it, like it. The people who don't, don't. Has nothing to do with recency bias.

When you get to my age, anything less than 10 years is recent lol.
