Welcome to Salty Popcorn - my site dedicated to expressing my opinion on films. Most of the reviews I read in the paper make me angry that they are either all so negative or I completely disagree with them. So now it's my turn. I hope you enjoy it and if you do sign up for updates on the left hand side. Thanks for stopping in!! PLEASE NOTE: My scoring of films is now based on an "Out of 10" score. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

A Very Brief Review of Inception

July 23rd 2010 10:49
: LEO PROVES AGAIN HE IS MY GOD OF FILM
Category: No Category
I could have written my usual larger reviews but this film appears to have had a review written by every man and his dog on the WWW - it has become review overkill. Annoying that the U.S. got the film one week early and apologies I have not read anyone else's review but did not want to view the film tainted.

Inception, Christopher Nolan, Leonardo Di Caprio, Ellen Page


OK - My review of Inception is thus: FUCKING INTENSE!!!

I loved it and while I absolutely loathe people saying they will give 150% or 200% effort into something, because that is an impossibility and there can only be 100% of anything, I am rating this film 11 out of 10.

Leo is my film god and has proved it again. I love HIM and his work on film is just astounding. No one steals the show in this one but Leo leads the ensemble of actors and exudes presence and skill.

Joseph Gorgon-Levitt is absolutely brilliant in this film - Love Him!!

Ellen Page is pretty decent too and it's about time she was in a film without being a sassy smart ass.

Tom Hardy also stands out - he is brilliant as Eames and look forward to seeing him in more and more films. Great to watch.

Chris Nolan has moved himself into my top directors of all time with Speilberg and James Cameron. Every single shot is HUGE and fills the frame to its extent with brilliant visuals. His vision is out of this world and he has set a new benchmark in filmmaking.

This film is a thinking film and you have to keep thinking of what layer they are in. It is something I have to see again because I am sure I have missed things. F'n brilliant and out now. Worth 11 out of 10 and this is my film of the year.

Yeah, I felt like I was throwing in my two cents. It bugs me slightly that the movie has been so gushed over. It dampens its appeal.

I am actually intrigued, and actually want to watch it! Will have to wait for DVD because there are some scenes that will definitely trigger my motion sickness - even watching the preview was a little difficult!

I knew you would see my spelling error Bryn!!! Grrrrr. I wrote about it on FB and Incpetion is the dyslexics version of the great film.

Lara - it is brilliant!!!!

Thanks Shaun!!!

Amy - this one will totally mess with motion sickness - there are lots of scenes when you don't know which way is up. Take a crapload of drugs and do it - it's so worth it!!!
