Real spoilers below

/takes police movie badge off.

So when the main character got over his guilt (which the whole movie is built around) as quickly as snapping his fingers when he needed to before the movie ended it didn't bother you?

I enjoyed the movie and was entertained the whole time. But I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon that this was the best movie ever. I mean why did DiCaprio have to inception his wife? Couldn't he have just sneaked up on her and wacked her with a hammer to wake her up?

You got 5 layers with all different time lines and I am supposed to believe that these kicks are all happening at exactly the right time for no other reason that it makes the movie flow properly? I think thats what bugged the shit out of me the most while I was watching it. I can believe your dream world and all your rools, but to imagine that these kicks where going off as designed was laughable.

Also the ending :roll:

You still are wearing your badge:P I didn't say it was the best movie ever but I do think it will be the best out of all the summer trash. I don't understand how you mean he snapped out of his guilt at the end? The ending didn't show us the twirly thing dropping so you don't know if it that reality was real or fake. But I think the possibility of it being the right reality would be enough motivation for him to go with it. I think you can blame that on the human emotion hope which can really knock down any doubt the character might have had, he wanted that reality to be the right one soooooo bad. Just think of everything he went through, so of course you'd be like "yes there are my kids!"

I was under the impression that because they were in limbo, that you couldn't just kill her to wake her up. Maybe he could have shoved her off a building but I thought planting the idea had something to do with her needing to believe it wasn't a real reality when she awoke, but that idea backfired and she thought every reality was fake.

There were only three layers; Yusef's dream is first, then Aurther's then Eames dream. Then limbo is after that. The timing of it all could work as they had exactly ____amount of time to get from Sydney which then breaks down into _____amount of equal time in each dream. You have more time in each subsequent dream so if you have a music clue that you need a kick at a certain time. I don't understand why that couldn't happen at the same time. Yes maybe a little far fetching but I've seen other movies try and make me believe Sam Worthington could act the part of a native indigenous population that connects to the earth VIA the stem in their ponytail. We all know Sam can't act but we believed he could for the greater idea!

I think this movie will be ripped apart by the thinkers and not understood by the mass. I understand it has flaws like all movies but I still think it was great despite those flaws.

Oh a side note I think Leo has a great movie career despite getting stereotyped as a teenage heartthrob for awhile.

I guess if you don't want to count reality as a level thats cool. But I would count limbo as one.

My issue with the ending isn't that they don't wrap the movie up with a pretty little bow. I'm fine not knowing if he goes to a dream or reality. The whole movie the only time cobb wears his wedding ring is when he is dreaming. At the end of the movie he isn't wearing it. The kids are the same age and wearing the same clothes from his memories. Just comes off as sloppy to me.

Its a good movie to be sure. I just don't think it deserves the nut swinging that its getting.

I have nothing against leo as an actor.

I'll repeat, I HATE the fact Martin Scorsese replaced Robert Denrio with Leo.

Robert Denrio is awsome, Taxi Driver is one of my all time favorite movies!

I enjoyed the movie quite much.

The plot was pretty damn good I really liked it. They had a lot of funny parts for being somewhat of a serious movie. Love the "kicks" laughed my ass off - not gonna spoil it for people but the reactions were awesome.

And I love Tom Hardy in it aka Handsome Bob from Rock n'Rolla was priceless the shit he was saying.

Definitely going to see this movie again and would recommend it for others to see it as well.

But with that said I'm going to make my totem now so enjoy!

Rock n Rolla was actually a pretty solid movie. I enjoyed it.

You are a little bit crazy aren't you Banard? Scorsese would be insane not to hitch himself to Leo.
Without question...he is one of the most talented actors alive. Deniro hasn't gone anywhere he's just getting older.

that is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard lol. You can totally not like the man, but it is akin to stating that Johnny Depp would be a nobody if Tim Burton didn't pick him up. Leo and Scorsese are one of the best director/actor pairings to date. They make each other look good.

I am sure Scorsese wasn't sitting in his office thinking "hmmm look at this no talent M@&%* Leo, I think I'll make him a star"...

BUT thats just my opinion...unlike you, I really appreciate good acting ;P
