I DID NOT expect a classic Gulliver's Travels, but DID expect classic Jack Black. He was not even that funny - it was OK and not UNpleasant, just not as funny as I would have expected.
Inception was a thrilling ride, literally! You will see that a lot of what is happening at at least one level is a ride in cabs then a van - whew! Keeping track of all the levels keeps you on your toes, and Ellen Page is as sharp and engaging as any of the more seasoned actors. Lots of crash and bang for action picture fans, but I loved the intellectual layers. Was trying to give 4 1/2 stars, but it wouldn't let me!
