Inception - a bad review.

So! Sorry if your lovely tumblr dashboard is already filled with billions of Inception references/photos/quotes/spoilers/gifs etc but I felt I needed to add to the discussion.

I went with the legendary Lady Amy Face, Curtis and Alex to see the movie tonight and I have to say, it was fantastic. Very visually dynamic, gripping, engaging and Hollywood summer blockbuster to the core, yet also incredibly cerebral.

I had almost forgotten that Christopher Nolan had directed it, and I know The Dark Knight is brilliantly acted and well directed etc, that but I get the impression that Nolan probably kisses a mirror before he goes to sleep at night. Also, after so many idiots hailed TDK as ‘teh greatest movee evaaarrr’ I felt inclined to disagree with anything Nolan did from that point onwards. Heath Ledger was fantastic in that movie, I think we can all agree on that but over 2 1/2 hours of ill observed social commentary rammed down my throat is not something I really enjoy. Thank god then, for the redeeming qualities of Inception.

I find it difficult to find fault with this movie. The length was something I had a little gripe about before hand, but at no point did the film lull or feel as if it was dragging on. Joseph Gordon Levitt is marvelous in this by the way. He’s come a hell of a long way from those halcyon Third Rock From the Sun days. Also, TOM HARDY is very delicious.

The only things that marred the experience slightly (and this will in no way effect your viewing so feel free to just skip right past this part) was the fact that was;

a) Sitting in the front row somewhere near the far right and spent the whole time with my head tilted back and to the side in order to somewhat see. (If I get taco neck, I’m suing you Cineworld)

and,

b) Chugged about 6 pints of diet coke in Nandos and therefore got an insane urge to pee about 15 minutes from the end. It was so intense I eventually couldn’t wait anymore and had to RUN to the bathroom and back so as not to miss anything. As it stands, I probably missed the most crucial 3 minutes in the film. So I guess I’ll have to see it again. (NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL)

Anyway, if you haven’t already seen it, then I strongly suggest you do. It’s well worth a trip to the cinema, and please, don’t watch a shitty torrented cam version you find online. That defeats the object. It’s like going to a concert with ear defenders on.
