Here's a good article of the splitting opinions from critics as of late. Rotten tomatoes rating has gone from 100 to 96, and now it's at 86. Some people are calling it very original, some are saying it's ripping off other groundbreaking movies. I truly dont believe that everyone will believe a movie is truly "original anymore". It's almost impossible.
I thought Inception was very original(Ebert and Roeper agree). Yes, I guess you could draw one comparison to the Matrix, but the two movies are on two totally different levels.
