I kinda understand you. While Inception was good, very good in fact, it wasn't the epic masterpiece it is being made out as. I mean, number 6 on IMBD? Really?
Christopher Nolan has done way better.

I LOVED Inception ^_^
From reading your original post, I think you seem to be missing DiCaprio's entire relationship with his dead wife. That's what the whole story was about, I thought.
Damn was that a good movie ^^

It was okay, the plot was relatively good, the dialogue was utility-only, and the movie moved far too quickly for any real character development to happen outside DiCaprio's character. It's somewhere in my top... fifty. It's definitely the best movie I've seen which was made in 2010, but that's not saying much.
Well after I made my original post, I realized that I didn't mention the whole thing with his wife, and was waiting for someone to comment about that. I did get that the whole relationship was a major part of the story, but in a movie like this, adding some sort of love thing in it, is never a good thing in my opinion. I think Nolan should have went with either the story between DiCaprio and his wife, OR the business man, inception thing. Meshing the two together is unnecessary. If one of these stories was chosen, and was more elaborated on, I think I would have liked the movie more.DarthFennec said:
i really didnt care about dicaprio/cobb's story
but the the scene towards the end with the heir/scarecrow and his dad made me fucking cry man
and the shifting g fight was right up there with the matrix lobby scene

I don't really see where you're coming from. They kind of are the same story, it's not like he just stuck the two together at the last minute or something. First of all, the business man inception thing without DiCaprio's whole hidden past thing wouldn't have made much of a movie at all. Actually you pretty much described that movie in your original post, and asked why it wasn't very good, so you of all people should be able to understand this. The inception plot on it's own would not make for a good movie, it would need some kind of deeper story behind it to make it the least bit interesting. Hence DiCaprio's wife. But it's not as if that was just thrown in there haphazardly either, Nolan actually did (in my opinion) an exceedingly good job of making that part of the story integrated and organic within the inception plot. Think about it this way, absolutely none of the wife plot would have made the slightest bit of sense without the inception plot in there too.EcHoFiiVe said:
Ill try to keep this simple.
Looked good, made well with alot of attention to finite detail. Overhyped all to hell because its just complex enough to make average people think they are clever for being able to follow the plot. I found the plot to be rather disinteresting and god knows I will catch 6 kinds of hell for saying this, but unimaginative.
Well made film, just not deserving of no where near the hype surrounding it.

The plot was a lot deeper than most movies that came out this year, not that that is saying much, it's like saying a 6 foot deep pool is deeper than a mud puddle, but the movie was well acted, well directed, and the action sequences and special effects were very well done.
Well, it was sort of... intentionally extreme. Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion, but some people's opinions are dumb. Of course, that could just be the Nolan fanboy in me rearing his ugly, irritating head.DuplicateValue said:
Truth told, if he had given a good reason for disliking the movie, and if he didn't sound like he disliked it just because it's "cool and edgy" to dislike things that are of high quality, I would have responded more charitably. As it is, though, I am inclined to think that he just made an Inception-bashing thread just to get a lot of people to post. Fortunately, it doesn't seem like it's working.
I really enjoyed watching Inception. I loved the story, thought it was really interesting. Just a quick question though, about the whole Saito (I think?) Cobb thing. Didn't Saito originally test Cobb and his crew, to see if they could pull of the crime? And, Mal is a key part to the film. Saying that the romantic subplot should have been left out of the film, is removing an integral part. Since without this plot, Cobb would never have known about Inception. The mission would probably have proceeded smoother. Ultimately, reducing the tension.
And off topic. I laughed for five minutes after I read this.Mr Thin said:
It didn't leave much of an impression on me. Don't get me wrong, I'd recommend it. I didn't find it hard to follow at all, it provided suitable entertainment and it was a little bit of a workout mentally.
It's an extremely polarizing movie, and I'm on the end that thought it brilliant, but wouldn't watch it again.

I think you might be missing the fact that the story between Cobb and Mal wasn't just added. It's the heart of the story. The film is about Cobb and him not overcoming his own guilt. Everything that happens within the story is a result of Cobb refusing to come to terms with his past. Inception was an idea that Cobb knew worked because he had done it with Mal. He takes the job because it's the only opportunity he had to get back to his kids. It isn't as trivial as you assume.EcHoFiiVe said:
I Think Inception is a great movie. Perhaps your expectations were too high and kept you from enjoying it. The same thing happened to a lot of people when watching The Dark Knight.
Well yeah it has its fault but I think the movie is kinda designed from a standpoint of how cool they can make the effects based off of its premise, which in my opnion works
