This. It's not a film I've re-watched, but I found it enjoyably tense on first viewing at the cinema. Same goes for I Am Legend. I understand the considerable criticism of both films, and agree with it by and large, but that doesn't change the fact that I had a good time seeing each of them on the big screen.

Here's my original reaction to Nolan's last Batman film, which I still stand by:
The Dark Knight Rises: tedious and unpleasant. A very well-made and well-acted film, but nonetheless one I'd strongly recommend avoiding on account of it being a horrible cinematic experience.
I prefer Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind over Princess Mononoke.
Spirited Away is good, but My Neighbour Totoro did nothing for me.
