I hated it. It was like watching someone home movies during a National Geographic marathon. It was painful to sit through

To be honest, I've always had this feeling about the dark knight. Everyone I know still considers it the best movie they ever saw....but it's not even in my top ten any more. As for Inception, well I didn't think it was the absolute masterpiece either. I wanted to love it, and I did really liked it (score of 97, which is my highest-score equivalent of 3 1/2 stars out of four, 99 is a masterpiece, 98 is a four-star film that falls short, which was the score I gave to Shutter Island and the Dark Knight)* but I was disappointed by the actors/characters. So much was spent developing Dicaprio's story and the dream concepts, that I felt the entire supporting cast was really weak, with little personality or depth to their characters. That is why all the "every performance was great" quotes in reviews have confused me. So Girly, I actually have a slightly lower opinion of it then you. You're not alone. *I've just realized how absurdly complex my scoring system sounds when I describe it. Sorry... **I've also just realized how ridiculously long this comment is...

I enjoyed it a lot, but my mind was definitely not blown because the ideas presented in Inception weren't exactly new or innovative and the narrative was bloated. I prefer Memento and The Dark Knight myself. Also 'overrated' makes no sense. Altoguh I get what you mean by your blog entry.

It was very good, but I, personally, do not like ambiguity. It creates discussion, which I'm all for, but it's just not my cup o' tea. I also think its weaker elements (character, storytelling) are magnified from Nolan's previous efforts (notably, The Dark Knight).

I liked Inception overall, but I was extremely disappointed in the final product. I actually got pretty bored during a few scenes because they felt so long and drawn out. It was a good film, but nothing I could watch again.

I absolutely think it is overrated, and wrote a review saying so. I felt at least half of it was like a "Dreams 101" class with too many glossary terms. I should have brought a notebook. That niggling suspicion that this movie might not be the classic it was hyped up to be is why I don't it will be much remembered 5 years from now. It's simply too complicated and emotionally shallow. It's not "The Matrix".
