Momento and The Prestige might be the exceptions, where the execution did match the ideas. I enjoyed the Batman movies, but they certainly have their silly moments and some major plot holes that can be glossed over because of the source material being comic books.
But he has certainly leaned really far into the style over substance and over time the characters take a backseat to the point that by TENET no character interactions had any weight or tension and they just ran around and did silly stuff that made no sense.
Someday I’m going to make a movie called Momento and it won’t matter what a piece of shit it is, it’ll end up selling plenty of copies simply because people don’t know words.
