After seeing Inception for the second time, I have now decided the following:
Potential spoilers. You have been warned.
1) Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks fantastic in a suit. Inception is worth seeing for this reason alone.
2) The film is l o n g, but worth every second. That's the biggest criticism I have heard thus far: Nolan spends too much time on exposition. But in all honesty, if he hadn't, everyone would be complaining that there were plot holes or that it was hard to understand every aspect of the technology.
3) Going off of that, the storyline could very easily have left so many questions unanswered, but Nolan does a great job of clearing almost everything up. I like that he didn't sacrifice any of the backstory for the sake of getting on with the action and that the very few questions I have do not affect my understanding or interpretation of the film as a whole.
4)I love how open to interpretation the ending was. I'll be the first to admit that I was part of the simultaneous groan at the cut-to-black, but I appreciate that it gives the audience the opportunity to choose between the Hollywood ending and a slightly less optimistic view. I myself believe that the top eventually fell; it was wobbling quite a bit.
All in all, highly recommended. However, if you don't like long movies or films that require a great deal of concentration, Inception is not for you.
