During the summer, I've come to expect big, flashy, special effect-laden superhero movies, with a comic-book plot. If you ignore the hype about Inception's "deep and profound" reviews, you won't be disappointed. The story is actually very simple, told in a very complicated way. It didn't bother me. I didn't walk out thinking this was really "mind-blowing" but rather, "that was sort of a fun roller coaster ride" I never expected it to be more than a summer movie. What I found refreshing about it, was this it wasn't good versus evil or a typical comic-book story. And it's probably best too not read too much about the story before you go in. Yes, it is sappy. Yes, it's overacted in parts. Yes, its quite ridiculous when you stop and map it out. But I enjoyed the storytelling. The worst part of the film for me, was the last 5 seconds: as it was totally unnecessary, but overall I'd recommend this to friends.
