Very inventive

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2001)

I was going to post only about how great and innovative Memento is. I must say though that I was surprised at the previous comment and others that express resentment on the hype and high IMDB rating for this movie and here's my reason: Were it not for the public embrace of this movie, for the enormous amount of internet users who posted how great the movie is I would probably have never heard about this movie. The director who made this movie didn't have the benefit of a huge studio with lots of money to promote it that so many other movies that basically suck do. I hadn't seen not one commercial on tv for this movie but since I'm an internet geek the sites I visit had so many favorable comments on this movie it piqued my interest and now that I've seen it I'm not disappointed. This movie succeeded on word of mouth alone, what a great testament to the huge influence of that elusive commodity-human interest. Hats off to the actors, producers, director and others who contributed to this inventive movie. It is rare to find something different offered to moviegoers that is so excellent but this movie fits the bill. I have no complaints, enjoyed every minute and will be watching it again.
