Inception - Chris Nolan + Leo DiCaprio = best movie of the summer?

How come basically anyone in this thread who doesn't like Inception is implying everybody else is stupid and/or has low standards? I get the whole 'this film is super popular so I have to be super piercing to balance it out' thing, but can't you just not like a film without being an arrogant twat?

I mean, I really dislike Man On Fire. I think it's a pile of shit, but I don't think all the people I know who like it are retarded.

it's the other way around.

if you say you didn't like it, people will tell you that it's because you didn't understand it. then you point out that there's nothing there to understand, then you come and call me an arrogant twat. fu.

and what MJ said.

Well you didn't understand it and Michael Jackson is dead. I don't listen to dead people. FU

oh, no!!! : (

Why should it matter what others think about something that you like/dislike?

i think it's called a discussion

I'd say it's bad because it has no characters whatsoever, the architect girl, did we ever get to see why was shee needed? what was exactly the maze that she designed?

 

Ummm i thought they did a pretty decent job of explaining why the architect girl was necessary...

who promised you that though? hollywood trailers? reviewers? or colleagues with incredibly similar taste to your own?

because there is a marked difference.

to clarify, if you expected mindblowing shit because a trailer said so, thats akin to me expecting Maid in Manhattan to be the best summer comedy in years. or whatever shit they say.

to elaborate a bit more, yes, they said why they needed her, that is, the movie tells why they needed her but it's never actually shown, like the "maze" itself. the only significant thing that character does is at the end of the movie, all that happenes before with her is irrelevant and in no way connected to what her role actually was.

I thought the 'maze' was the arrangement of three nested dreams and the landscapes, images and layout of each dream - the city, the hotel and the snow fortress - wasn't that all designed by her?

I only watched ten minutes of it , and knew exactly what kind of movie was gonna be .. turned it off.

it was 3 levels because for the inception to work it needed to be planted deep.

but yes one should assume that the landscapes were done by her, one was a city one was an hotel and another was a snow fortress. how is that a maze? that's what i'm trying to say, they tell you it's a maze but it is never shown how it is so, it makes no difference at all if the city was carefully planned or not.

I took it to mean like a psychological maze - they lead that businessman through a series of very confusing nested dreams and then manipulate his actions so that it seems like the incepted idea is coming from him. Thats the maze.

overbloated pile of shit

you want an intellectual thinker type movie? watch some underground stuff, this is hollywood bullshit. thanks. the whole fast-paced-omg-what-we're-doing-is-so-important mentality that you see in CSI or Law and Order is wayy over done.

recommend me some plz...because im almost positive i could write them all off as "underground bullshit" just as easily.

also LOL at the Law and Order comparison.

I do agree that the snow fortress as a maze was one of the biggest flaws in the movie, and the action was overdone, but to say it was a piece of shit akin to the likes of The Last Airbender or Baby's Day Out is stretching it a bit.

baby's day out was a masterpiece, how dare you
