"Nothing special." Sure, if you don't like imaginative, inventive, intelligent, well-made, breathtaking, mindblowing, forward-thinking mainstream cinema, it's definitely nothing special! Haha. Man, Joe, you must've been in a really bad mood when you saw that film. Or you just don't watch many mainstream movies coming out in te theaters nowadays, because this is by far the best mainstream American $160,000,000 movie to come out since the 2000's started! I also love Crank and Crank 2 and Superbad and Mean Girls and a few other examples, but other than that... big-budget Hollywood cinema has sucked. A cinematic wasteland. I try not to rate movies based upon their importance on the overall scheme of things, but I'm almost willing to give it a 10/10 just for being the only film to genuinely blow me away and not feel like a rehash of anything (though it did have a Dark City-ish feel in places).
Inception is a masterpiece, everyone, check it out!
Also, Joe, did you see my post on the last page? Giuseppe Andrews retired from filmmaking! Who's going to fill his void? I hope it's you!
