The one that actually made some great movies instead of bloated overwritten exposition extravaganzas.

so when did that nolan end in your opinion?

Playing Devil's advocate, but also thinking critically about it, :patrice: I'd say Dark Knight was the last time he did that. I haven't seen Interstellar yet but based on what I've read, I have a feeling it's the same thing of just character doing a lot of exposition

TDK was the beginning of the end. He set up the Joker perfectly within the first 30 minutes, only to include more and more scenes explaining the Joker's motives (or lack thereof) in increasingly convoluted ways. Alfred's Burma story is one of the worst offenders, the Joker's and Harvey Dent's little talk in the hospital another. It's also the first Nolan movie where he creates huge gaps of logic (what happened to the Joker at the party after Batman jumped out the window to save Rachel? How come they'd put a guard inside the room the Joker was locked in? Why the hell wasn't Dent the first person evacuated anyway? etc. etc.). I'll say the scope and magnitude of the brilliant scenes greatly outweigh those flaws, but they got worse with every subsequent movie. Inception and TDKR are like Michael Bay's Transformers sequels but instead of more and bigger explosions I have to listen to longer and excruciating speeches.

And with all that said, I still want to see him direct a James Bond flick
