@VirtualBoy500. I could not agree more. It doesn't just move backwards.

"crappy super hero films" my foot! That trilogy is the crown of a genre!
-
@qwuezalothus Can't believe that the same mastermind who did this, also did those crappy super hero films.

I don't really like it when people describe this movie as moving "backwards." That's not quite accurate; it's more like two movies, one going forward and one going increasingly back, that meet in the middle in a way that the plot points of both gel together.
BTW, I love this movie so much, I named one of my own characters John G.
.......that's not too on-the-nose, is it?

This movie was tedious. I don't care if it went backwards, forwards or sideways.
-
The director is the same mastermind behind the Batman-trilogy.

@nessaholichu I think you're forgetting the Dark Knight. Nolan is so good he makes me hate movies I previously enjoyed.
Only three words: Best. Movie. Ever

It's not the idea that it goes backwards (although it was innovative for a mainstream film at the time) that's amazing, it's the fact that the beginning of the story is the ending climax that opens up more questions for the viewer to ask themselves about the main character and his motivations.
