Nolan is one of the only directors I can think of who has NEVER made a bad movie. He's made 7 films, and he's great 100% of the time.
Ridley Scott hasn't been able to say that just based on his 2000s career alone, and it goes before that too.
lets hope so. lets hope so.and hollywood insiders (Actual ones, not dark_b) are busting a nut over Prometheus because the dude wants to make 2001: A Space Odessy for this generation.
this is not how this works. if TDK would be a bomb like Blade Runner then it would become a masterpiece to every fan.Chris Nolan has never made a movie on the level of Alien or Blade Runner. His best movies are The Prestige and Memento.
The Dark Knight is mediocre. There, I said it.

you see.............fans like movies that bombed more then the ones who made money. that way they feel special because they have a movie for themselfs. when a movie is liked by the general public then they are not ''special'' anymore. then they are in the same group as the general public. and they hate it.
TDK made way to much money to be good for the internet community. a movie needs to underperform or bomb ..........thats how the internet fanboy rules are
He is that talanted because he directed Alien, Blade Runner and Gladiator. But either he directs the wrong stories, or he has lost his passion or something. Because he is really wasting his talent. Its not that he makes bad movies all the time, he just doesnt make movies in that level. Another example of this: Francis Ford Coppola.
Alien - masterpiece
Blade Runner - masterpiece
Gladiator - awesome
Black Hawk Down - awesome
Kingdom of Heaven: DC - great
American Gangster - great
Body of Lies - good
Matchstick Men - good
He's batting almost 500. Not bad.

Ridley doesn't always hit it out of the ball park, but when he does, he defines cinema
Are we talking about on these boards? He might be overrated here (but even that would be a tough case to make), but in the general public, a lot of people probably wouldn't even know his name unless they were movie buffs. He's not like Spielberg, Kubrick, Coppola, or Burton, whose names are pretty much recognized by everyone. In that regard, I'd say he's underrated, considering some of the great movies that he's made.
Also to the Scott vs. Nolan debate. You CAN like both without having to rip one or the other to pieces. They're both great directors. Also, Nolan himself is a Ridley Scott fan and made the crew of Batman Begins watch Blade Runner to let them know what kind of world he wanted to create with that film. If it had not been for Ridley Scott's influence, we might not even have Christopher Nolan as we know him today. Show some respect!
and who pays for this?Ridley Scott is about recieve a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame
Ridley Scott is awesome his brother Tony Scott is a slightly better version of Micheal Bay.
Ridley's daughter Jordan Scotts film Cracks was good.
Ridley Scott is about recieve a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and has a Knighthood he is pretty well known for a director.
Ridley and Tony Scott produce alot of TV shows as well under their Scott Free production company
I actully like Tony Scott movies he made the best Beverley Hills Cop movie and Man On Fire was great but I know alot of people consider him and his movies alot like Micheal Bay and his films.I'd say Tony Scott is leaps and bounds above Michael Bay. Sure he has Top Gun under his belt... but he's also got True Romance and Crimson Tide.

Tony Scotts movies have better acting (thanks to guys like Denzel) and an actual plot/storyline along with the explosions, action and pretty women so I'll give him that.
