I think it is perfectly excusable for a director or writer's first feature to not measure up to their later works. Ever since then, he has created Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, and Inception, all universally successful and well-reviewed movies. I think a director such as Nolan has more than proven over the last decade that he, more than just about anybody else in Hollywood, deserves those big budgets.
