Default Inception-Early Reviews, VERY GOOD!....Updated....MY REVIEW-A TEN OUT OF TEN!!

So far 100 percent on Rottoen Tomatoes. Including some "top" critics.

I've never been so pumped for a movie that I knew so little about. Christopher Nolan sseems to be on a can't miss streak and is solidifying his status as the best director of the last 10 years or so.

Can't wait to see it and figured it's going to be a big movie on this board, so it deserved it's own thread

Here's the trailer, doesn't give a lot of details on the plot but damn, it looks awesome.

I'm very excited for this movie. I think Christopher Nolan has join the status of directors like Spielberg and Scorcese. The guy just doesn't make bad movies.

I really want to see this movie; I don't know whether to see it in theaters, or on Blu Ray though. I find Blu Ray with my home theater to be better quality then theaters, and with all the CGI, I may wait.

But I don't know if I can wait that long....It looks amazing!

There's two movies I know nothing about that I'm more excited that usual to see. 'Inception' is one of them. Surprisingly, 'Salt' is the other.

I'm usually a stupid comedy/part of my childhood ization movie kind of guy, but both of these look very interesting to me.

I've been looking forward to this one since the teaser trailer came out nearly a year ago, I think it was with Inglourious Basterds.

You could just tell it was going to be a truly amazing film. The only worry I had was that it might be a little too much like the Matrix, but from the sounds of those first reviews I don't think that's the case.

It also seemed to remind me of Strange Days a bit.

Ever since Catch Me if you Can I've been a fan of DiCaprio, but why the hell does he keep trying to grow that weird beard thing?

This movie looks awesome.

I also, am very very pumped for this one. After Titanic I never thought I would be a DiCaprio fan, but he has won me over. The Aviator was an amazing performance. The trailer looks so sick!

Early reviews are always good. Early reviewers are always glad handers of the studios that allow them to review the movie early. The real reviews, the ones that aren't from cronies, come out when the movie is released.

He's come a long ways from the homeless kid on Growing Pains...

Not that hard to believe considering who was involved. Nolan is a top rate director.

The fact that the supporting cast features Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon Levitt... CGI aside... that helps.

I absolutely love the concept behind this movie. I don't want to have high expectations going into a film because I hate being disappointed...but I think this one will have some lofty expectations from me....I hope it comes through!

Did Nolan bring everyone over from Batman Begins to join DiCaprio?

Does look very interesting, will definitely go watch it.

Leonardo DiCaprio has really hit some homeruns with his last few movies.

Best working actor alive right now? I'd say pretty damn close.

Daniel Day-Lewis, De Niro, DiCaprio are all up there, but De Niro is sort of living on past work at this point. DiCaprio is definitely kicking some ass over the last 10 years. I'm glad he's Scorsese's new DeNiro.

I cannot wait for this movie.

Some of the scenes were shot out at Fortress Mountain as well. I had a buddy that was one of the snowmobile extras.

Him and Tom Hanks would be my vote for the top two actors of the last decade. Id go as far to say last two decades.

Out of actors that I would say are in their prime right now, DiCaprio definitely has been the most consistent, with Depp, Bale, and Clooney following behind him. Tom Hanks owned the 90s, and it looks like DiCaprio will be the 00s best actor. Oddly enough, I think Hanks' last really good movie was "Catch Me If You Can."

You've got to include Ed Norton in that list.
