as substance.
More silly warfare than 2 "The Saint" James Bond "thrillers."
DiCaprio was surprisingly good, he seems to have matured into a guy with some gravitas: the only enjoyable component was his performance.
Were Ellen Page any more lightweight she'd have floated off the screen into 3-D land.
A plot so ridiculous people around me actually were laughing as yet another layer was spun; a film that lasted 2:20 minutes but, like the dream sequences, actually felt 10 or 100 times that long (I don't know what dream level I had drifted to); and a key which was so poorly developed that we could have cared less.
Somewhere in there was a story about a guy who lost his wife through death or divorce and couldn't get visitation rights to his kids. Nolan detonated a 200-megaton turd.
"Memento:" now THAT's a great film.
Now, if your idea of a wonderful film is one that counts explosions, smashed cars, bullets, army extras, etc., well, yes. You will be thrilled and vastly entertained.
