My issue with Nolan is that he both hits spectacularly and misses spectacularly in the same movie. The net result is that a lot of his stuff leaves me feeling like it was "fine". But for such an ambitious movie to swing hard and settle on "fine" feels like a real failure

He's the most hit-or-miss director I can think of. Going into his movies I have no idea if I'll love them or hate them.
I would argue that this is because he's a bad director, or at least he's become one.

What do you mean by this? Because I'm not sure it's true.

His films are huge. He is shooting on Imax with huge crews, the biggest stars...Action sequences, locations, everything is top notch.
I don't disagree with that, I just don't think he's the only one, which means I'm not going spot him as many points for bad movies.

In terms of being able to produce and open original movies on that scale, I'm not sure there's all that many besides him; and I'm not saying that as a good or bad thing, I'm just saying besides someone like Spielberg or James Cameron, I'm not sure there's many directors who can say "here's an idea I came up with, I'll need $200 million and a July 4th release," and basically get carte blanche approval. That may not happen anymore because of how Tenet came out, but it was that way for a while.
