Character Development? Bleech!!!

Rating: 1/10 (3 August 2010)

What on earth has happened to character development in cinema? I was pretty pumped to see Inception. It looked flashy, decent actors, and what appeared to actually be a new idea for a plot (I'm REAL tired of rehashed plots).
You were thrown into the film with characters that had NO basis of who they were. I didn't have a chance to decide if I liked a character through who they were. Lead actor played his usual flat self. He reminds me of the Al Pacino school of acting graduate. I didn't care anything about him or his "team".
There were so stinkin' many visual flaws, goofs, and editing mistakes I lost count of which ones I would start with after the movie.
The best thing about this movie is that I had a free pass given to me by my boss!
