If you watch this now, it sucks, contrary to what happened to Source Code, amazing movie, less pretentious and millions of times more fun to watch. So why the rating hasn't dropped down? Lazy people left their original ratings. But it deserves a 2.1

Lazy people left their original ratings. But it deserves a 2.1Source Code was a good movie, except the ending dragged on. It would have been better to stop the film at the freeze frame and then include the text message to Vera Farmiga as a post script.
Yeah, I would have ended that movie just 2 seconds after defreezing the frames, without saying 'it worked' or whatever it is that he says. Cause to me, that's real closure, ending, or whatever, not leaving everything in suspense, but you are right, the email and the whole " let's enjoy life" attitude that it has at the ending really is to cheer up the audience and it's kind of lame. Anyway, Thanks. I thought I never posted this cause my phone died and I was glad about it, but now my little immature rant is online, let's face the consequences
share“immature” describes your post perfectly.
I wish there were more adults online. You know: people who don’t just shrug and write “lol,” especially when it’s not in any way funny.
This film is what it always was. The only thing changed is the context...
Nolan was riding a hot streak because Heath Ledger's death added some fanfair to his previous film, and thus with his new film, there was chatter that it was so smart and brilliant, because i think people didn't want to be assumed as unintelligent for not getting it..... So you had a mass hysteria delusion of people claiming this is a good movie..... That delusion has worn off by now.

One actor being brilliant doesn't mean that the movie is great.
One actor being brilliant doesn't mean that the director is special.
Can't really think of any 'surprises' in Inception. The characters are either in a dream or they aren't, but either scenario being true don't make it shocking. They are obvious plot devices in a dream movie.
One actor being brilliant doesn't mean that the movie is great.In most cases that is true. However, a great actor can make a very good movie great -- which is pretty what we have in the case of Dark Knight. Heath Ledger was brilliant in the movie, and most people disagree with you.

They are obvious plot devices in a dream movie.By surprises, I meant unusual story telling techniques (not horror movie surprises). If you watched it in the theater, there was palpable tension in the final scene. The entire audience reacted to it.
You overlook the film by just focusing on its foundation and not the themes or the humanity in the characters and story. Inception was full of colorful individuals that made it a highly enjoyable and enthralling experience. Not to mention the score is some of Zimmer's most stellar work to date. There is another director who is like this only a lot more subtle than Nolan I will say, that guy is Jeff Nichols.
shareHumanity is the last word that should be used to describe a Christopher Nolan movie. Everything is so robotic and stylish. Style over substance.
shareIt's no worse, in fact its MUCH Better than Fight Club and that seems to hold up even after its all figured out. Inception was original, superbly directed and acted. These films last a lifetime. The great ones always do... And yes, Ledger was amazing, as was TDK in general. People will hate Nolan until he retires.
shareinception is like fight club but without the stuff that was good
shareNot much better but just one step better in my opinion. Inception is my 3rd favorite while FC is 4th.
shareHey, that's all taste so I'm not knocking FC. I love both films, Inception just is a notch above IMO. Regardless, people look at any film that puzzles the viewer as "Dated" once it's all figured out and to me, that's simply not true. Inception and Fight Club both have enough OTHER redeemable qualities to hold up over time.
sharethis is a better movie then fight club i love fight club but in the end fight club is about a wussy guy who cant face life so he creates an alternate personality an men male bond theres a little more to it but thats about it this however with the whole dream idea right up front is more interesting then fight club for me an just the action in this film with the turning room is more mind blowing then anything in fight club an while i cared for the characters in fight club i cared far more for leos character who lost his wife
shareThe only thing that has worn off about Inception is the surprises it it (just like any movie), but the movie is still brilliant.
Completely agree. This is one of my favorite movies, and, in my opinion, one of the best movies ever made.
Ah, devil ether. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel.
That delusion has worn off by now.
u are wrong, i rewatched it today, after 5 years since i saw it,
all i can say is HOOOLY *beep* what a complex, beautiful, tear jerking, impressive ART WORK.
this is a real movie, a piece of art, a movie that diserves to be remembered as humanitys pride achievement in arts.
10.
source code is a cheap detective modie, has nothing to do with this.
this is complex beautiful.
u say it s pretentious? i say you are dumb or way too young to actually understand it s about human desires, life expectancies, expectations, life, death, rebirth, reality, emotions, friendship, etc.
i rly do believe u are below 20 age, from the us, where expectations from ppl are low and ur education is low.
read more books, enrich ur life, then watch inception again in 10 years when u will be capable of grasping the range of emotions and knowledge it brings.
You are as right about my age and where I'm from as you are about everything else.
That could mean: I will read your comment and magically my life will improve reading the books you read and I will have kids and a wonderful nine to five work and then I will think Inception is better.
Or, Inception didn't age well, cause its bad, ridiculous and it has a preposterous way of solving things, not anyway related to real life, more full of bad metaphors and unable to satisfy true cinephiles
I know people that are into Cinema far more than any 20 year old would possibly know. Kubrick fans with their lives around the meanings is his beautiful catalog. People who do nothing but work and watch films all day from the greats of 1920 to 1990 and the rise between 1990 and 2015... Nolan impresses almost all of them. Its just become popular to hate him so its "Trendy"
sharewow. you're a smug cĂĽnt aren't ya?
shareI disagree with you. Inception has aged very well. Hell, it is such a ridiculous thing to say. Even today's movies do not match the brilliance of this original story. It still displays amazing camera work and beautifully meaningful cinematography. The ending is one of the best parts of the film. Clearly, you missed out on the detailed meaning behind the movie, overall (especially the ending). This film is not about creating emotional closure at the ending. It is far more than just that.
shareYeah, a bunch of gun fights in the middle of a modern city is so timeless and impressive... Almost looks like they didn't try at all. Christopher Nolan's like "lets have a bunch of characters running around acting like everything is serious and have a blaring score (basically the same one from TDK) going on constantly!"
shareI did not interpret scenes from Inception in your description. I can say with confidence that you are wrong. I interpreted these scenes with more details than just that. Clearly, you are not equipped in understanding the art of cinema. Every image has a meaning. You failed to construct its underlying meanings.
shareOk, what is it about?
shareI hated Inception. I thought it was supposed to embrace the mystery around dreams, instead it's just a really dull, straight-forward action movie with a "sophisticated" plot.
The last Batman also sucked really hard. Nolan's movies shows that there are a lot of biased fanboys here if you look at the rating. The Prestige, Batman 1 & 2 and Memento were great so I'm not a hater at all, but Inception and Batman 3 is waaay overrated on IMDB imo.

25) I expected the movie to be about _____, but it was not. Therefore the movie was awful.
Inception at #14 of the top 250 movies is complete bogus, just shows how society as a whole is composed of dumb sheep... Most people probably haven't even watched Inception a 2nd time but they still think it's "da best movie I've eva seen, there's like dreams and important stuff happening!!!" Inception is a showcase of everything wrong with modern Hollywood.
shareNumber 22 of the top 25 over-rated topics on IMDB:
22) You guys are all sheeples, blindly listening to the reviews planted by the entertainment industrial complex which tells you how to think. Instead, listen to me: Baaaa!
Some legendary movies don't need to call 'em excellent by watching it twice. Watch it once, if you *beep* love it, then you do.
An example, if you watch a history movie like Bridge of Spies, it will be great if you watch it for the first time, but less on the second time. Cause it's a lot of talking here and there, but still an excellent movie.
Disagree. The "surreal" qualities of this movie were executed flawlessly. This is what is so engrossing it. I don't really care too much about plot details.
