Dumbed Down Comic Book Version of Mulholland Drive Meets the Matrix

Rating: 3/10 (27 July 2010)

I keep hoping I will wake up having seen one of the top three movies of all time, and was only dreaming of being duped once more by the payola-ridden viral-fest that the rating of entertainment on the net has become.
"The Matrix" is an example of an intelligent comic book treatment on film.
"Mulholland Drive" is an example of an intelligent film about dreams.
"Inception" is neither, but currently rated miles above both by the IMDb shills. Go figure.
Besides its conceptual shortcomings,"Inception" is just not a very good movie from a technical perspective. Overlong and overacted by the entire cast in an effort to bring some life to this "snooze," even high dollar action scenes and CGI can't liven it up. No comic relief, none whatsoever, to allay the squirming in the theater seat wondering when it will ever be over.
The "love interest" subplot is head-scratchingly extraneous to what might have been an interesting corporate espionage thriller.
Leonardo D. can not carry a movie any more to save his life, in fact the entire cast is miscast. If you disagree, dream that Tim Roth or Gary Oldman was cast in the lead and tell me I'm wrong.
