Mostly for Morons (or) Strictly for Stupid.

Rating: 2/10 (22 July 2010)

The fact that 37,000+ persons voted this silly movie a "10" is either "studio feed" or proof as to why our country has gone to the dogs these past 18 months.
The movie lasts 2 1/2 hours but the plot can be told in one sentence: A man seeks to reconcile to the memory of his dead wife.
What we get is over two hours of pointless explosions, false and silly action scenes including having a freight train plunge down a city street. There are a few human interactions, but these don't much matter. All this is underlined by the unoriginal use of loud and intense background music (heavy on drums) giving the erroneous impression that something important is happening. Environmentalists (the real ones, not the lefty nit-wits) might be annoyed that Lloyd drops hundreds of millions of tons of collapsed buildings debris into the ocean -- for no better reason than a brat destroying a sand castle.
As for the dream scenes: Wes Craven simply owns this with his brilliant "Nightmare on Elm Sreet." Craven obviously had first hand personal torment and he understood nightmares, whereas Christopher Nolan might have never been asleep, for all he knows.
The few good points were DeCaprio, Ellen Page, Michael Caine, and a few good international locales.
On second thought I doubt there were 37,000 nit-wits who loved this movie. The pattern is familiar. A well-hyped Warner Brothers movie starts getting 10-ratings from the first minute. Studios have been purchasing rave reviews from media critics for decades, surely they's continue doing so and corrupt this website. IMDb has no controls to prevent fraud.
There was no trace of enthusiasm among the crowd tonight, just a dazed look of What Was That?
