But back on topic, if Star Trek isn't your thing, I'd consider Skyfall. With almost no humor and well done characters, it could be considered the Nolanesque version of Bond. Not to mention that the movie was a huge success, critically and financially, bringing in over a billion dollars and an Oscar or two (I think?). With a well acted, intriguing and devious villain, it could be argued that Silva was Bond's Ledger's Joker. Showing that a franchise that used be not be taken very seriously can, through "Nolan, can reinvent itself.
No, I really meant it. I too think Abrams' Trek movies are highly entertaining and impressively done updates of the concept. I was just poking fun at the laughably irrational hatred he and his movies get from the vast majority of the Internet.
And hoo boy, Skyfall...now there's a hell of a movie. My favorite Bond film I've seen. Glad to see you liked that one as well.
Oh, and Raiders112390? Calling people that like Nolan's work 'cultists' and putting them in the same boat as a psychopathic gang group is not only stupid, but also stupid. Oh, and a good bit stupid as well. With a dash of stupid too.
