Its not confusing or clever its just too fast to listen to the plot

Rating: 3/10 (22 January 2013)

Putting aside the fact C Nolan is not one of my favourite directors (far from it) I was quite excited to see this title; with its strong cast and amazing SFX.
However after 2 hours I was struggling to keep my eyes open and I found myself thinking; wow Mr Nolan has done it again. He's made a film thats far to long, pretentious, dumb and take itself too seriously. Obviously lots of other people won't agree with this statement and I have no gripes with your opinions, but for me I got zero entertainment due to 3 reasons:
1- Though I didn't mind the plot concept, I though the execution of it was poor. Just like TV series Lost; where after a while you felt that there was no plot direction so the writers just added twists and 'made up' concepts to create a solution for the immediate plot obstacle or inject some life to the story. The kicks, dream in a dream, time slows down by half. 2 - Are you a tourist in a foreign country, no? I noticed that a lot of people comments that they found the film confusing/intellectually challenging, but I realised early in the film (and maybe for my own misfortune) that if you slowed the dialogue down; you would notice that the plot is very simple and actually quite dull. What Nolan did was treat you like a tourist in a foreign country where you can kind of understand the language but due how fast everyone talks; you cant quite grasp what people are saying and adds to the issues created in point 1. 3 - Its all based in someone subconsciousness, therefore no one is in any danger so where is the real excitement??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
3/10
Its boring, stupid concept and makes you feel stupid for no reason through directing arrogance.
