  I watched this when I was younger and thought it was the coolest movie ever. Watching it now, parts are still great and but the pacing drags and the story wanes past the midpoint. The action sequences are still super fun.

  Such a gorgeous film, with bold choices from master filmmakers. This is up there as one of my new favorites.

  It was good but suffered a lot from a terrible sound mix and weird pacing. I was confused at moments but never bored.

  Why does nolan always change the aspect ratio for the IMAX stuff? Drives me crazy.

  This is the third time Nolan's sound mix has been bad enough that I can't hear dialogue in what should be a dialogue scene. Why.

  This is one of very few films that would've benefited from being longer. I like fast paced…

  The whole story was engaging, the storytelling fascinating. Watched Jaws recently and I can see how Spielberg was so influenced by Kurosawa's mastery on the craft. The blocking and black and white cinematography is something that I will come back to over and over again to study. A must watch noir film.
