Easily the best film of the year so far ironclad Send a noteboard - 29/07/2010 01:06:54 PM
I can't believe Christopher Nolan did it again. The film delivers on every front. Not only is the dreamy cast bringing outstanding performances to the table (Hardy and Gordon-Levitt will soon be leading men, you'll see), the direction and pacing is near-perfect. The script forces the audience's concentration but takes only few breaths to race through this 2 and a half hour tour de force. Especially the second hour with its excellent action scenes on so many layers leaves you speechless and belongs to the most enthralling parts of cinema of recent years.

Original, engaging, exciting, intelligent and breathtaking to look at.

9 out of 10 wobbling spinners.
*MySmiley*

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

I felt there were two ways they could have gone with this movie beetnemesis - 20/07/2010 06:26:34 AM 1253 Views
I thought it was smart of Nolan to use architects in manipulating/exploring the mind instead of Bookwyrm - 20/07/2010 08:03:42 AM 1260 Views
