Nolan has done it yet again, brilliant.
I recently came across this video. Gave me a whole new perspective on this wonderful sequence. I must warn you all though, its a big video.
You can like something and still be aware of bad acting. Star Wars is full of those moments with Luke for example.He must be talking about the technical parts of it right. Because CIA guy and Pavel's acting sucked. Hardy was boss though.
I would have kept the nod, then the new voice for "the fire rises!"Have to admit, it was more badass with just the nod, no "Yes!". And I do prefer most of the original line reads. I've basically gotten used to the new version now.
I do think that with all the surrounding hoopla with the dialogue/Baneposting, this sequence gets a bit shortchanged as an action set piece. Seamless integration of breathtaking stunts, camera trickery and a miniature work to create a spectacular, CG-free illusion. I'm not surprised Nolan rates it so high. It's one of the most daring sequences he's pulled off to date.
