I saw this at a second run movie theater (a big one where I used to watch movies as a little boy in the late 50s and early 60s) and although I liked it, the movie took more concentration than I was willing to give it at the time.

5. Once I got through the first hour

I got hooked on the concept and the second half got better.

7. The best

One of my favourite movies of my lifetime.

12. It just didn't do it at all for us...

we probably weren't in the right mood. One of our girls (well, she is nearly 30) loved it, our 25 year old hated it.

I looked through quite a few of the IMDB reviews - quite a polarizing movie - 75% or so loved, 25% or so loathed, not much in between.

2. it was entertaining enough

the FX was good

we have a "10 minute" rule with Netflix, we'll give almost anything 10 minutes, we watched this all the way so yeah, it was good and neither of us is a big DiCaprio fan

[NV Whino]

4. I'm not a DiCaprio fan either

I think he hit his pentacle with Gilbert grape.

[Twillig]

8. hit his what?

Is that a dick joke?

9. Damn that auto fill

:rofl:

3. Too complicated.

A little tough for me to root for a corporate raider. The mission didn't seem entirely ethical.

6. Inception might be a movie that I would come to like more with repeated viewings.

It was like that for me with "No Country for Old Men" because watching it in the theater I was put off by the stopping of the movie.

10. Had to watch it three times...

it's not an easy one to understand, that's for sure. We gave it to our 17. yr. old son for christmas so we can watch it over and over.

11. We adore this film. One of my all-time favorites.

We bought the blue-ray for Christmas. We rarely spend the extra money for blue-rays, just for the films we love the best.

I thought Joseph Gordon Taylor was just so smooth and this was Tom Hardy's film. I've always liked him, but he was in top form as Eames.

13. 2 hours 22 minutes long and I saw it twice in the theatre

That's how much I liked it.
