The new Christopher Nolan helmed film, Inception, debuts Friday, July 16, and the reviews are beginning to pop up. The reviews are mostly good. Christopher Nolan did direct the new Batman films, which are excellent. Also, Leonardo DiCaprio is a good actor, and that means some automatically good reviews will happen. Some critics gave the film some considerable stick. Perhaps it didn’t live up to their dreams of how good it could are.
Inception gets exceptional reviews from some
Inception reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are overwhelmingly good. It has an 83 percent fresh rating there. Roger Ebert gave the film four stars, lavishing praise on the story, the visual design, the director and the cast. He said the film was “wholly original, cut from new cloth” and he isn’t alone in thinking that’s a rare thing. If it is as good as most critics, and the esteemed Mr. Ebert, say it should make instant cash loan flood the box office, and the award nominations pour from the sky.
Not for everyone though
Any film is going to have its detractors. Some reviews are pretty harsh. Kurt Loder of MTV unloaded on it, asking “are they handing out joints at the box office for ‘Inception’? That would make the movie considerably more fun.” Most critics think the film confusing, though well acted and visually interesting.
Survey says
The Inception reviews are mostly good. There also is apparently some speculation concerning the Inception ending, and there won’t be a spoiler here. Essentially, if you need the movie to wrap every little thing in a neat little package for you because you can’t think for yourself and need Matthew McConaughey to get the girl each time, this film isn’t really for you.
