The new Christopher Nolan helmed film, Inception, debuts Friday, July 16, and also the reviews are beginning to pop up. Some of the reviews are glowing. In fairness, the Batman films Nolan directed were exceptional. Also, Leonardo DiCaprio is a good actor, and that means some automatically good reviews will happen. There were a couple of critics who decided not to pull any punches. Perhaps it didn’t live up to their dreams of how good it could have been.
Inception gets exceptional reviews from some
Inception reviews are already piling up on Rotten Tomatoes, and most of RT seems to love the film. It is approval rating is already within the 80 range. Roger Ebert gave it four stars, praising cast and crew. He said the film was “wholly original, cut from new cloth” as even he acknowledges that as a rarity. If it is really that good, cash until payday loan should pour into box offices worldwide.
Not for everybody though
There’s just no pleasing some people. Some reviews are quite harsh. Kurt Loder of MTV asked “are they handing out joints at the box office for ‘Inception’? That would make the movie considerably more fun.” Most critical reviews cite the film having good acting and effects, but being confusing.
The sum total
Most Inception reviews are good. There also appears to be some speculation concerning the Inception ending, and there won’t be a spoiler here. Consensus is apparently that if you absolutely need a clear Point A to Point B and an ending that wraps things up in a neat little bow, then this film isn’t really for you.
