OK nice explanation... so where did you cut/paste it from?? ;)... I agree 12 monkeys and Memento are overall better than Donnie Darko, but not by much, and they are 2 differently styled movies.
Most people that had seen Donnie Darko a few years ago probably went into it w/ no hype built around the flick... I'm guessing all the surrounding hype made Donnie look worse than it really was.
Also Donnie Darko wasn't stylistically directed the way Memento was directed, now if maybe Christopher Nolan had an opportunity to direct it, you might've liked it more. My point is that, those movies are not comparable in the sense that you're using.
btw... if you liked Memento, check out "Following" its a flick that Christopher Nolan did before Memento, its one of my fav movies.
