This is one of the most hyped-up films in recent memory and I feel exactly the same way after I saw The Hurt Locker. Don't believe the hype - make up your own mind. I am a fan of Christopher Noland and DiCaprio and think Juno with Ellen Page is one of the most original films I have ever seen with her outstanding performance. But Inception is, please excuse my language, simply a gargantuan piece of crap. Illogical plot, weak acting, a plethora of unnecessary, distracting violence - the film never did it for me. After less than an hour I wanted to leave the movie theater, were it not for a niece evening with my wife in the unique and great Moolah theater in St. Louis. Simply disappointing and I just cannot believe what I read in the other reviews. Did you see the same movie?? Did you write up what you wanted to see or what you actually saw? Number #3 on the list of all-time greatest films?? Give me a break.
