I went online, to check up on movies, and heard so much about inception. I then went and got the movie, and it turned out to be my worst decision of the year.

Inception was nothing but a big gimmick. I will admit that there were times during the movie where I was entertained, involved, interested and intrigued. Without trying to sound like an elitist though, that is not enough to make me appreciate a movie. Like, if I eat a crappy candy bar, just it being "sweet" and "chocolatey" is not enough for me to rave about Hershey's, and I would especially be disappointed if this particular candy bar was being hyped as one of the most delicious, ground-breaking candy bars of all time.

I laughed out loud frequently during the movie because it is just so over-the-top. It's just funny to me now what big-time film directors can get away with these days and not be called out by the audience for just making up ridiculous shit, because they are untouchable: I loved how Leo's character took like three global trips at the beginning of the movie just because. Like, oh, I need to go find a chemist, so that means we need to have a big expensive on-location scene in Africa. Oh, ok, this part is a dream, so let's go to Paris now for no reason. You know, because it's a big Hollywood blockbuster and we have a huge budget so why not. People love watching that kind of stuff, right?

"Oh, yeah, this guy is a master chemist, obviously. Just look at all the bottles he is surrounded by in his dingy bar. Yeah, this guy is obviously the expert we need for the job. Wow, he even specially made a chemical so it doesn't confuse your inner ear balance. How convenient for the plot."

I'm convinced the whole screenplay was written backwards. Not "Memento" backwards, but "I want the movie to be a mind-bender thriller a-la the Matrix so I'm just going to make a bunch of stuff up first, and then work backwards to tie everything together and have it all make sense, kind of."

Speaking of the Matrix, this movie was The Matrix: 4. Did anyone else realize how similar it is? And the fact that Christopher Nolan spent "nine years" writing it doesn't impress me in the least bit. Look at the time frame. Nine years ago he watched The Matrix and thought "I want to make a movie like that. Computer simulations? No, 'dreams.' Agents? No, 'projections.'" So he whipped up some hack script that just collected dust in his basement for nine years or so until he had made the Batman movies and got enough funding to make this.

I thought the script was terrible. I thought all the characters were absolutely boring stereotypes. None of them were original or interesting in the least bit. Everything was just thrown at you in the most forced way. Nothing seemed like it was developing naturally. Everything served the plot in such a direct way.
I think this movie is just a disgrace to Hollywood, and the director needs to be sued.
