Inception **^^**

[Deleted member 95]

What wasn't super epic about it?
I went in with very high expectations, and they were equallized and surpassed.

Goatman is pretty dense. He probably couldn't follow half of it and instead of trying to figure it out and unscramble all the mind **** going on, he just went "DERRP DURR, that sucked, I'm a movie snob connoisseur like Kicky and KEK now. DURKA DERP"

The movie is ****ing epic and anyone who says otherwise is a turd and a half. NO EXCEPTIONS! And anyone that disagrees with that statement is two turds.


Still love ya man. And I'll give you another + the next time you say something funny, I promise.

The main thing that got me was how bad the fight scenes were, especially the whole wannabe James Bond like snow scene with the random cliff climbing, bomb throwing, and sniping people running in slow motion. I do have other problems, but I don't want to take the time to write them. Maybe later.

Oh... right the fight scenes at zero gravity, and the idea that it was all occurring in different dimensions of the mind, with an extremely logical premise to explain it all.

Totally ****ing worthless movie.

I was going to mention the fight scene at zero gravity, but I knew I would get ripped for it. It was cool, but if you really think about it, it's like they spent all of their time focusing on the zero gravity effects and forgot about the intensity of the fights. Remember the part where he moved something in the air and a guy was coming out of the ceiling with a gun pointed right at Arthur so he put cart thing back in the way to block the shot? Dude, that was lame. Especially the zero gravity choke holds and hugs.

EDIT: Also, you do realize I gave it and 8 out of 10, right? It's not like I said the movie sucks and was a waste of my money. I just felt let down after seeing it because I had high expectations for it.

Ya but this is going to be the #1 or #2 all time rated movie on IMDB. #1 or #2 can justify being a 9. No matter who you are.
No body sees The Godfather than goes... meh. Same with Shawshank Redemption

And the fight scenes had nothing to do with how epic this movie is.

If you were going because you thought you were gonna see Pacquiao/Mayweather in movie form... you're gonna be dissapointed... because it was based on an intellectual idea. if you thought this was going to be "Terminators in Dreams LLLOOOOLLLZZZZ" you missed the complexity that made the movie awesome. It even had awesome special effects to appease most non-smart people.

Let me guess, when you weren't miffed about how bad the fight scenes were... you were thinking "When am I gonna see some breasts."

This will not even be in the top 20 when all is said and done. The fan-boys skew the ratings early on and once the average movie-goer sees it in the next few weeks or on DVD and give it a 6 or 7 out of 10, the average will drop.

+1. The last thing this movie was is a fighting movie. That only represented the defense mechanism of his dreams.

we'll see... this was just as good as Batman... and batman is still floating in the top 10. And the way IMDB's ratings equations work, it circumvents the fanboy a bit.
looking at it... it seems most of the ratings are around 10... but following are bitter ****'s who gave the movie a one. So when non-fanboys come in, they'll cancel out the drop of the 1's a bit. Who knows though... definitely in my top 3-5 all time.

Edit...
Ya I read the ratings chart wrong
essentially 95% gave this movie an 8 or above. 90% ish gave it a 9 o above.

But almost 2% gave it a 1... which still brings down the ratings a bit, based on averages.

Like how you can recover from a 59% F on a test, but it's real hard to recover from a 10% F... although they are the same grade.

You're an absolute idiot if you think this is going to be even in the top 10 of IMDB. If you haven't noticed, Nolan's movies are severely overrated by the IMDB masses right out the gate and then they dwindle down. Remember The Dark Knight? Just thinking about this movie in the same breath of The Godfather and Shawshank Redemption shows how little you actually know about films. Hell, as good as Inception was, it can't even be mentioned in the same breath as The Matrix. Here's why:

Bland characters. Seriously, I can't remember a damn thing about those characters or any unique attributes they might have had besides those of Leonardo and Ellen Page, and even they were hardly that interesting.

Dialogue. Pretty much the whole movie's dialogue was spent explaining Nolan's complex concept. And this is related for why the first point was so bad.

Action scenes. You can balk at Archie all you want, but he's right: at no point did any of those generic soldiers seem to pose any threat to the team. They seemed like filler material to keep the "concept" rolling, throw a grenade here, ski down a mountain side while shooting there. The exception to this is the hallway spinning scene, that was very well done.

The first act. That was very sloppy. I understood everything that went on, but you look at the plot, it just seems like terrible writing. So they are in Saito's mind trying to steal his ideas, but then he knows they're in his mind, so he then flies over to them on helicopter and hires them to do Inception. Just a very ham-handed way of introducing the concept.

None of these completely detract from what was still a well directed, interesting movie. Like Archie, I'm not saying it's a bad movie, I would probably give it an 8/10 too. I'm just pointing out WHY it's not the next "The Godfather". I mean, for the love of God, I know you want to be excited that the next new thing is THE BEST OF ALL TIME, but please restrain your urge for hyperbole and see some reality.

Lastly, yes, even people who see "The Godfather" can say "Meh". It's a movie, not everybody has to have the ad populum opinion, despite your urge to do so 24/7.
