James Cameron has Terminator, True Lies, The Abyss, Titanic, and Aliens to his credit.
Chris Nolan has Batman Begins. The Dark Knight was dragged on way too long and I lost interest about 45 minutes before the end of the movie.
Look at Cameron's movies I listed above. They belong to different genres.
Terminator was a movie about our fear of technology. A much darker version of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times.
True Lies was a spy action movie, kinda making fun of 007. The main character tried to be an average joe while being a super spy as opposed to Bond being a playboy super spy.
The Abyss questioned humanity's endless fighting amongst ourselves. We think the ideological struggle is paramount while another, vastly more advanced species, looked at us with amusement and contempt.
Titanic was a love story set on the doomed liner. Everyone tried to do a semi-documentary about the ship. Cameron did a love story that just happened to be on that ship.
Aliens was a sci fi horror with action that made you at least felt good near the end.
Chris Nolan may be good, but he needs a few more movies under his belt to compete against a master like Cameron.
