I think if you want to get entertained you should watch this movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2010)

I've seen this movie in a very crowded theatre in Brighton 2 weeks ago and I enjoyed it very much. When I got home I wrote a review (in my native language, which is Italian) and I added myself to the list of those who actually think that this is a great movie if you like movies because they are a form of entertainment, and not a way to show off how witty/smart/cunning/opinionated you are criticizing someone else's work. The horrid thing about Inception is that it's making those who didn't like it call those who actually enjoyed it "dumb/stupid/ignorant/etc". I think that's really messed up and clear sign that they need to let go of their frustration and stop going to the movies with the attitude of "if this flick turns out to be crap I'm going to write on IMDb that everybody who likes it is a retard". Not healthy. Inception has top notch CGI, a good cast, an interesting plot (in a genre that pretty much has explored every corner of the universe of possibilities), an approach to sci-fi that's unusual, brilliant soundtrack, a good ending (and that's what most of the people who didn't like it have in common: they didn't bother to watch the end...) and serves very well the purpose of taking you away from your every-day reality for a couple of hours. I don't see why should I be called dumb because I enjoy all of that. And trying to argue that it is a "movie for dumb people" because the "concept of the dream machine is blah blah blah" is the most useless attempt to look smart I have ever seen...
