The rabid nature of the fans who insist if you point out his films fall apart under scrunity that you're wrong or "don't get it" sweeps the obviously awesome stuff Nolan brings to the table, in particular how cinematic in scope his visuals and sounds are, under the rug for the purposes of debate.

Nolan's films look and feel terrific and distinctive. More than you can say for most. It's usually the "best filmmaker working" label that causes nitpicking to give way to full-blown anger.
