INCEPTION Review Thread (SPOILERS!!)

[KarmaNL]

Seeing how much Chris Nolan has grown, I can't even begin to imagine what the new Batman movie will be like.

10 times or 2 times or 3 times, this is all a figure speech. You get the point - it's a far better movie in terms of acting, direction, score, plot, etc. Its box office performance is irrelevant.

I am ecstatic for that one to say the least.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Riddler.

I don't think it is even close to the Matrix, but that's just me I guess. I remember being absolutely floored the first time I saw the Matrix. Maybe this is how you are feeling right now.

My favorite sci-fi film though is Dark City, although I haven't seen many others.

Based on some of the reviews and responses I'm seeing on the 'Net, yes, it is too much to ask.

Well, watch 'The Dark Knight' again... unfortunately, Nolan is often guilty of using the exact same shot more than once in the same movie.

I just caught this really really REALLY cheeky TV spot on the facebook page for the movie.

[Show spoiler]just like Leo maybe was during the entire movie

.

Not everyone will enjoy Inception (myself included) and you'll have to get over that fact. Does it mean they're stupid, moronic, less intelligent, hairy neanderthals who live in caves? Absolutely not.

Who is anyone to judge someone else's opinion on a movie that

[Show spoiler]literally ends mid-shot

. Next thing you'll tell me is everyone died when the screen cut to black on The Sopranos. Point is, you don't know for a 100% fact what really happened.

Which brings me to my final point.....so get ready for a non-sci-fi mind heist below!

1.) The people who truly don't 'get it' are the ones who already have their mind set as to what was real and what was the dream state during the entire movie.

2.) There are so many different variables that happen throughout the film which makes you debunk something you thought was 'real' the minute before and vice versa.

3.) Nolan's entire point of the movie is this: For you make up your own mind. To talk about it, to theorize it, to jot down for everyone else to read on das internet.....but not to make others feel like they "have their heads up their rears".

All that said and I thought the movie was boring. Sheesh! Imagine if I liked it, you'd already be making breakfast in bed for me, sweet pea.

You just got pwned my friend.

Petra, my ode to you was the "non-sci-fi mind heist" line. I thought you would've caught that. All in good fun though kiddies. All in good fun.

I leave my up for your own interpretation my friend. Think of it what you will. Perhaps I did pick on it, perhaps I didn't. There are so many possible meanings to my that I leave it up to each and every visitor.

[Offender_Mullet]

There is a difference between stimulating your brain and just confusing you.
I heard that simple things were shot to seem compllicated in that movie, and that is just wrong.

Dont get me wrong, I will see this movie and I am sure that I will absolutely like it for everything plus originality.
Just I am afraid that Nolan might have outdone himselve and made the movie too complicated and twisted just for the sake of it.

I think you should reserve judgment until you see it. The movie is really not that complicated.

That would be THIS movie.
