i might be taking this the wrong way but are you saying titanic was a better film than inception?

 

btw the background of saito would take away from the actual point of the film. cobb really didnt have a choice when saito made him an offer. he really had no other way to get back to his kids other than saito's plan.

Yes, you are. And No I'm not.

I disagree, it might have actually given the film a point!

 

The film was watchable, but unremarkable...

it depends on how the background was shot

if it takes away too much time from the whole idea then it's moot

It may still become a cult classic, but that depends on an editors cut and 20-30mins of extra storyline... after all I remember terminator coming out the first time round and it not being that well received, and Arnie being seen as a joke. See what happened there.

Inception is pretty well received though.

The Island - 6/10

Ok..I give the latest movie I saw a 6/10 ..wait..Do I have to say which was it?

ha ha

Inception is pretty well received though.

 

Ha, you're all getting very defensive! I've seen the reviews. Not much middle ground.... a bit like marmite. I just left the cinema thinking that was 2hrs I could have spent doing something constructive.

 

I never felt engaged to the characters or the plot... which I though was complicated, rushed and shoehorned into too tight a fit. The architect they brought in bought into the concept too easily as did the chemist. There was no background to the company caprio's character worked for that caused the concept of the film, or the different aspects/components of the dream like the architect.

 

Technically it was brilliant, and enjoyable to watch in a let your mind wander sort of way. But for me it was jerky and overedited.

 

Anyway... onto the next film...

Girl With The Pearl Earring

7/10 :nice:

Nah, I wasn't getting defensive, I just wanted to point that out. I agree with your points about the lack of character development. In a way you're just dropped into the story, the world where apparently it's normal that you can create and enter dreams, without knowing the characters and you hardly get to know them at all. So I agree with you on that.

It just didn't make it less of a movie for me. I didn't really miss it... maybe I'm just a sucker for visual effects.

Donnie Darko

10/10

awesome movie

Virgin Suicides - 6/10

A decent attempt...

Stop me if you can - 9/10

scary movie 3 - 5/10

was ok, but i think first was much better.

 

the switch - 6.5/10

a bit too predictable, althought plot was interesting, but too like 'the rebound'.

Saving Private Ryan- 9/10

Lucky Number Slevin - 7/10 a bit confusing at first I think, but the end explains everything :)

the pacifier

5/10

was a decent kids flick

Inception , i think is overated, i dont know I thought it lacked more film time, Shutter Island for me is stilll the contender fr the year so far,....

 

Shutter Island for an Oscar for Leo insead of Inception lol

inception is taking home best picture. i pretty much guarantee it.

Kill Bill 1 - 8/10

Kill Bill 2 - 8/10

 

Loved this movies! :D

ive actually heard rumors that inception might not even be nominated for best picture which blows.

Lord Of The Rings: Fellow Ship Of The Ring

Lord Of The Rings: Two Towers

 

For both 8.5/10 I think we could have managed the third on too :D

Definitely Maybe (Oasis dvd)

 

10 ! :smug:

The Bourne Ultimatum. 9/10

 

(The Bourne Trilogy, 10/10. What the last Bond Films have had to live up to)
