Inception Overated

"When art imitates life"
I can't stand when people say something is overrated just for shock value purposes. That's what seems to be going on here.

lol "art student pretentiousness"..camocan wrote:Even the ending had a sort of hipster art student pretentiousness, did the totem fall or didnt it you decide; just awful, end a movie like a man for gods sake not with a parlor trick.
the totem falling or not falling doesn't matter... as long as Cobb believes that he is living in the real world he can remain
happy..

Go away and troll somewhere else.

Definitley his weakest peice no where near as good as memento. Also would have enjoyed him going more into the science of how dreams actually work in the brain considering he did all that reasearch on the subject and decided to leave it completley out of the movie.

I think Inception is a guilty (or not so guilty) pleasure see and see again movie...
it's not as deep as some Joe Averages would or [pretentious?] Academicians would like to make it, but that's why it's a lot of fun... and it's easy to understand... and you're really taken in by the [to quote Nolan] emotional hook that is around Cobb and Mal.

It's fine that someone thinks the film is overrated. Fair play or whatever. But most summer action flicks don't come under scrutiny plot wise like Inception did. Is it just because the film was popular so duh people are going to take a closer look or is it cuz it's a thought proving film for the most part?
I would say it's somewhere in the middle. Overall tho I think the goal of the film was to make a entertaing action film that didn't want you to check your brain at the door. I like that.

I strongly disagree but the dude has the right to express his opinion. I guess a lot of people would see Inception as a popcorn movie in disguise.
Do you... like pineapple?
The best film of 2010 Inception is far from overrated man .
