The only impressive thing about Inception is that, besides the fact that the expositional dialogue never lets up, it still manages to zip by fairly fast. Nolan brings his signature murky, lifeless visual style to the proceedings and his interesting cast is left to flounder in direction that seems to be limited to "Stand there. Say this.". I imagine the same people who like this now will look back at it, as they do at The Matrix now, cringing at the fact that they once thought it was deep.

I appreciate a good yarn as much as the next guy. Inception certainly delivers on a world of mystery and intrigue. The idea of breaking into someone else's dreams to steal valuable information is certainly a unique premise. It could certainly drum up discussion about which "layer" Leonardo is ultimately in. The photography was great, the pacing was spot on, and the direction was brilliant; honestly, who could get lost watching this film? It was pretty straight forward to me.

one of the best movies I saw recently. the film did not let anyone get bored, though long. and the way that Nolan makes us apprehensive at the end, is something of pure talent. great movie!

Inception is a hell of a ride. Unique, exciting, great special effects - a top-like production. Worthy of Best Picture - hardly. Nolan pulls two 'cheats' with the script - the method by which dreams are accessed and how the dream landscapes are created. Both are touched upon only briefly with little or no detail. Fortunately his legion of rabid fans don't seem to mind. And finally, the vague ending with the top spinning. If you're quiet you can almost here him saying, "Eh? Get it?"

this is the best Drama, Sci-fi, Suspense/Thriller, Mystery movie I think

Memento was Christoper Nolan's best film to date

I DON'T like to be confused.

I enjoyed it, but far from what most people said about its complexity, I found it almost too easy to follow. I also didn't like the main character's dilemma. This film isn't as deep as people think it is, but it's at least good entertainment.

A Memento-Matrix love child of a movie. In my tier 10, but had a shot at being at the very top. I like to fully understand the films I watch and like Memento, I felt as if its primary goal was to confuse the viewer. Still, great acting, pretty good ending, and excellent special effects -- great movie, just not one of the all-time greats.

Intelligent blocbuster

I think I've been trolled to death, but I can't be sure without a totem.

Awesome idea, brilliant directing, and superb acting, yet it's just not very entertaining due to its compressed story and characters I cared nothing about. I didn't watch it in theaters, which would have probably made the movie a much better experience. One of the better "successful" movies of the year.
