Ash Ketchum

Giant robots are awesome. Having DiCaprio enter someone's dreams to steal secrets is LAME!!!!

I'm just a little stunned how hyped everyone is over this film. It was done once before, it was called Dark City.

redrum

but this will be 100x better than Dark City, so....

RocShemp

Actually, it reminds me of Dreamscape.

Supermallet

Dark City is pretty awesome. While I bet Inception will be great, I doubt it will be 100x better.

redrum

ok maybe 50x

RocShemp

Probably equal.

JumpCutz

If Inception is better than Dark City I will be very impressed.

As someone who thinks the word "overrated" was created to describe the movie The Dark Knight I think Inception actually looks pretty good. I hardly ever go to the movies anymore since they mostly suck and people can't shut the fuck up during them. But I am going to give this one a shot.

If Inception isn't better than Dark City then I will be disappointed.

Deftones

I don't see how Inception could be better than Dark City. That movie was fucking awesome!

JumpCutz

Let's hope Inception is better than Dreamscape. Which wasn't a bad movie by any stretch.

Blu Man

Christopher Nolan is 6-0...

Artman

I rewatched it recently and it didn't really hold up for me. It's a good mystery/noir story but falls apart during the climactic scenes and fight, which I found laughable.

Supermallet

Eh, depends on what you think of Insomnia.

Blu Man

I enjoyed it actually. It is definitely second tier Nolan, but it was still pretty good. I wouldn't count it as a failure by any means.

Supermallet

I thought it was disappointing coming off Memento and is a pale shadow of the original Insomnia. I've never felt the need to rewatch it, whereas I've seen the original Insomnia five or six times.

Blu Man

See I've never seen the original and didn't have any expectations with Nolan's version, so I found it surprisingly good. I guess it just depends on the circumstances in which you saw it. But I can see what you are saying, it's no Memento or The Dark Knight, that's for sure.

dan30oly

5-1 at best.
(haven't seen Insomnia, Following, or Doodlebug)

Memento = fail.

The first viewing I found it interesting.

Second viewing is when I realized just how big of a fail that movie is.

JumpCutz

Hmm. What are your thoughts on Following?

Solid Snake

You know...there are a lot of non mainstream movies, independent and foreign movies that could probably make up for what you think might suck. There's always been crap and there's always been good movies. Hand in hand. Last good movie I went to was Toy Story 3 and before that, which is controversial so far on here, was A-Team.

I like Dark City, it's production design is awesome but...

THIS is truth. The idea and the world is great but the ending is weak. LOVE it's noir inspired visuals and landscape w/ the science fiction but once

PopcornTreeCt

Hahaha.... get out of this thread. It's his best movie.

Just kidding on the getting outta here part... kinda.

Solid Snake

I think he lost most people's respect when he started naming what he thought were great movies. I hate using that as an excuse...he's kinda like chris_sc77...but...like a younger version of him.

I don't like when people feel like they have to justify the films they like to others and then be looked down upon when someone feels like the movies that they like are shit. If someone thinks a movie is great and you don't then so be it. My wife thinks The Notebook is great but me not so much but who is to say. She puts up with my fandom of Rush and Dave Matthews Band so that is the way it goes.

Blu Man

It's funny because Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is your favorite movie of '09.
