My thing with Nolan is that his movies are all interesting enough to watch. He's an interesting director, though I think that's one of the nicer things you can say about him. Dark Knight Rises is bad, Inception is bad, Interstellar is more bad than good, but I wasn't bored watching any of those movies. Angry, sometimes, but not bored. And I think he's good at aesthetics, or good enough at least. His movies are nice to look at.
But despite that it really does seem like he is a stupid, reactionary person who believes himself to be a genius.
Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, Prestige, and The Dark Knight are all pretty good if you watch them for the first time with no background info. Inception is straight up bad, with good set pieces. Dark Knight Rises I blame on Heath Ledger dying. Interstellar is as you say. Dunkirk was good. Tenet was so awful and made me finally realize he is a Zero Dark Thirty Patriot Act Freak, which made me no longer like the first two Batman movies. I am excited to see Oppenheimer. I want to see what they do with his commie girlfriend. I can see him having her “killed”, but it’s a good thing.
Half of his movies are a bit too convoluted but even those I enjoy watching for some reason. He doesn't really handle human emotions very well either. Aesthetics are pretty good and his films have interesting concepts. He's a very flawed filmmaker but I watch everything he does.
why do people feel so strongly about inception, it's ocean's eleven in the matrix without the subtext. it's fun for what it is, but people either hate it or love it and i don't get it.

I know its a low bar but I give props to him for still trying to make original blockbusters not tied to IP. Wish tenet was decent like inception
