Rarely does a movie ever live up to the hype it receives. Not only did this film live up to the hype, it surpassed it. The score was brilliant, the acting was superb, the cinematography was beautiful, and the story is one of a kind. This movie should not be compared to any other "blockbuster" out there. Nolan is a master story teller and his brilliance will have you captivated from beginning to end. The only negative I can find about the movie is the next time I go to the movies, I will have a hard time shelling out $9 for anything that doesn't have Nolan's name on it.
