If a movie is too complicated, I think thats just wrong.

P.S Anyways, if 58 people gave it four stars, than its definitely not a mastrepiece or timeless classic like TDK or The Matrix.

It wasnt too complicated. They tried to make it appear more complicated than it really is. Thats what bugged me. Plus, they over-explained things.

It wasnt mysterious enough.....you could tell where it was going the whole time.

Nolan said it best himself. "It's just a simple Heist film, that happens to take place in dreams"

I agree with him.

This.

The people I went with said they were SHOCKED when they found out

...really? How did people NOT see that coming?

Inception = Good movie, but not mind blowing imo (and this is from someone who really wanted to LOVE the film).

Triangle = Mind ****!

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]

. 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.

Wrong
Wrong.
And wrong again.

I loved it and I have my mind set on what was real and what was not. I have seen it five times.

And I no longer see scenes that debunk anything.

When did Nolan tell you what HIS ENTIRE point was.

I do not expect everyone to like it that would be dumb. I am glad you did not like it, some people say they like thing to fit and others say they do not like things to be different. Then some are just honest about it.

Your generalizations are funny.

Next time I watch Triangle I'll expect Dom Cobb to pop in and say, "OH sorry, wrong dream. My bad. I'll just see my self out"

I completely disagree. Movies that are very complicated are not "wrong." Example: Last Year at Marienbad. The complication and ambiguity of the film is its entire purpose, and it makes it what it is. Some movies simply try to be too cute and take themselves too seriously, to the point that they either leave big plot holes or are simply an example of trying too hard.

Internet ratings are irrelevant, just like imdb ratings are. TDK is not even remotely a timeless classic. Matrix is far more likely to be remembered in the future than TDK, but neither are classics or timeless. It's wayyyy too early to give them those titles when time is what determines what is and is not a classic. Masterpiece is a word that is thrown around much too often, as is epic.

Coffee out my nose dude. Beyond hilarious man.

Or, maybe Bad Jess could show up in Inception blazing her shotgun.

Amen! Some people seem to be using these words like they just learn them and they can't stop using them all the time in the hope that they will sound cool by doing so.

Triangle is a timeless classic EPIC MASTERPIECE.

tommyboy81 · 07-23-2010, 06:01 PM

Guess I have to watch Triangle since Squid drools over it everytime somebody brings it up.

Batman1980 · 07-23-2010, 06:06 PM

Need to see Inception at least a 3rd time, just not sure when, probably next month with one of my sisters or something.

You will go see it 3 more times.
