Don't judge too quickly...

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2002)

Memento is a good movie in my opinion. Sure it's not the one of the greatest (like a Cary Grant movie) but its still good.
These days pretty much every idea for a movie has already been taken. I mean there are millions of movies out there. So of course you're going to see movies play off of each other all the time. I'm sure Memento can be found in many movies that have come before it but I didn't find it to be some horrible, cheap imitation and repetitious.
Some people complain that this movie was too confusing and that there were too many plot holes.
The whole genesis of this movie and what makes it different from most that I've watched lately is you have to get inside this movie. You can't just view it from the surface only giving half you attention to it or it defiantly won't make sense. This means you may even have to watch it more than once but trust me it all comes together.
Now if you don't like having to play detective while you watch a movie I wouldn't suggest it but never the less it's a good movie.
And as for the plot holesI don't pay any attention to them. I rather enjoy a movie then analyze everything that's wrong with it. I do have to agree that its probably not top ten material because I'm positive there's ten other movies that overrate it but I believe it rates up there somewhere.
