In reply to Natalie.

“they made a dog’s dinner of it”
Is that a standard British expression? I love it!

I watched that Yes Men movie at archive.org — it’s one of the options near the bottom of the linked page.

Dave, I totally agree with you about Inception. I found it boring, confusing, noisy, needlessly full of explosions and car chases and I couldn’t wait to get out of the cinema. As soon as I left I couldn’t remember a thing about it. The concept might have been interesting if handled more intelligently and with more originality but they made a dog’s dinner of it. Will have a look at the Yes Men link.

Likewise enjoyed the original Yes Men flick, so will try this one as well. Have avoided Inception, as I do all blockbusters. I prefer quieter films

I saw the 1st Yes Men movie a few years ago and it killed me. Didn’t know they’d done another. I will definitely check it out.

In reply to Jennifer. Yeah, it was the limbo world I found particularly alienating. The snowy peak was definitely cool. And I must admit I liked the initial shot of the limbo world where the buildings were sand castles crumbling into the sea, as obvious a metaphor as that is. And you're right, how one feels about Inception probably depends on how much one enjoys solving puzzles. If it would've included characters one could care about, it would've been great.

I liked Inception, but it was like an interesting puzzle…I didn’t care all that much about the characters, because I was too busy trying to figure things out. It did have that whole snow-covered mountaintop scenario, so there was *some* nature. But now that you pointed it out, it is interesting that the “limbo” world that was supposedly dreary and barren turned out to be a rather lovely rocky beach, and that the characters felt the need to build a whole city there.

Most unfair movie review ever?
