Add me to the list of haters

Rating: 1/10 (7 August 2010)

This movie is way too talky and confusing to enjoy. Add to that a director/writer with absolutely zero sense of humor and wit, and we are left with this dry onslaught on your senses. I think Mr Nolan may have brains and be some people's cup of tea, but his humorless and emotionless films have all left me extremely disappointed. INCEPTION in particular was torture for me. There is absolutely no payoff by the end of the film because we do not care about any of these characters. If it were not for the genius score, this could easily be the worst waste of time I have had in a movie theater in years.
I see there is some controversy and speculation as to where all the rave reviews are coming from. It's possible that there are many who do love this film. But they weren't in our packed audience. One person clapped at film's end, and it quickly died when no one joined in. Instead most people bolted for the doors after this overlong dud.
