Most of us hate American movies, it's just that they keep popping up in cinema, probably because of the multimillion American industry trying to kill off all other cultures. It's not us 'foreigners' fault.

People are sheep and they want to see what's most easily available to them. They are just being brainwashed into believing American cinema is the best while Americans themselves can perhaps be more conscious of their own country.

Shauni, do you only watch off the wall indie films or something? I mean, I don't know what you thought was so uncreative and unoriginal about this movie. Maybe you just have to over analyze it to death to where it just can't be in any way plausible as a movie.

It's odd, reading Shauni i guess i understand why some people I know got upset at me for bashing on Avatar so much. I've learned a life lesson today... thank you teamliquid.net. Thank you all!

It doesn't offer anything new, original or even vaguely artistic to the genre of artificial reality. Christopher Nolan is not a genius director, he makes entertaining films for the masses but that's how far it goes. It's a bit sad how you guys were fooled once with Avatar, and then you buy into the PR the second time with this movie. The characters were flat, story recycled and it followed the simple Hollywood mixture of corny jokes, quick paced dialogue and cool explosions. I don't understand how people can be excited over and over again just because they're supposed to like something.

People can hate or like movies. I don't know why we all have to flame each other for it. I liked the flick, and I loved Avatar. Sue me. It wasn't that thought provoking, but the plot was good, the acting was good, so overall, it was a good movie. I doubt there will ever be a sequel, and if there is, it won't be related to the original. The movie ended in a fashion that people talk about, which is the whole point in an ending. Leave the audience wanting more, even if there will never be more.

(Avatar)
The acting was good!?~?!??!?!?! at what point in the entire drawn out 3 hours did you find at least .01seconds of quality acting? Also, I suppose if your idea of a good plot is a predictable story that has been used in all of the directors previous movies than you are correct when you say the plot was good. I will be contacting my lawyer immediately....

I think you must be trolling or saying this to be different or something. I'm not sure how you can define the characters as flat, Leonardo dicaprio's character was the most dynamic character I have seen in practically any movie. No he doesn't seem like a "real" person but during the movie he is trying to let go of his wife, slowly loosing his grasp on what is real and what isn't constantly regretting his actions all while attempting to maintain his professionalism and get back home to his children.....soo i'm not sure how you can define that as flat. I don't know what the fuck your talking about when you say the story was recycled which as follows:
+ Show Spoiler +
If thats a fucking recycled story than it was disguised so well I (and the rest of the world) couldn't tell.... There aren't 500 comparisons over the internet between this movie and another like there were for avatar. So i'm pretty sure there is no viable argument on that point for you. Also, TBH I enjoy the corny little jokes with a hint of clever thrown in and explosions, I feel that its like adding spice to foods.But thats just me. AAANNNDDD i'm ppretty sure that people dont just get excited about movies because they are "supposed to like them" Snakes on a plane is a perfect example...............

its like this, imagine ur with a group of guys who r watching tv and u see some hot girls on the screen. most guys will say wow those girls r hot. but theres always that guy who is like "nah those girls r mad ugly i wouldn't even look at her twice" and every1 just rolls their eyes or gets annoyed because they think that guy really just wants to show he's above every1. yeah, its true girls and movies tastes r subjective, but if u just start talking down to ppl for liking things, they will get annoyed. i am sure shauni would feel the same way if u all said inception was better than whatever anime show he watches.

Why would it be offensive to people if you said you didn't like shiny things? Just because they do? And yes, I watch anime and thank you for ridiculing me for that. Japan's anime industry is actually even worse than Hollywood when it comes to shitting out meaningless shows just made for simple cash.

The only thing Cobb does is talk about himself a few times. And do you really get to know ANYONE else than him? We could just rename them to dream agent #1 #2 #3 #4 and it wouldn't make any difference. I'm always a bit perplexed on how they can make a movie over 2 hours, make it feel like half that time and add no real content, just the action, explosions and corny jokes.
In popular movie culture, I think Paprika dealt with it better, even though I wasn't very fond of that movie either. And I think you misinterpreted me. I didn't say it was nowhere near as recycled as Avatar story-wise, but the themes in the movie were. All the suspense triggers, the soundtrack by Hans Zimmer (BAMMMMMMMBAMMMMMMMM), the build-up and breakdown, the quick cutting sequences, the stressing gun fight scenes and so on... It feels too artificial to be able to appreciate it. It's like the elements were just added in to make it successful, to me they don't fit at all with suggestive 'deep brain think' (heh) idea.
