I really did enjoy this movie but, it wasn't an easy film to watch. Obviously the length was a challenge to sit through, especially with such a slow moving story. But it was a complex story and I can understand the need for that.
The thing that almost ruined it for me was one of Nolan's trademarks; blaring music and sound effects that have you scrambling for the volume control and cursing his name as you do it. It was jarring to the point of being very annoying and it pulled you out of the story. Someone needs to tell Nolan that it doesn't add a dramatic flair to his films, it just pisses off his viewers. It detracts from the story, it really does.
In the end the movie was something of a chore to get through, overly long, slowly paced, jarring sound track, but I'm still glad I watched it. It was such a refreshing change from superhero movies and brain dead action movies...and who knew Robert Downey Jr could was actually a good actor!?!?
