The only reason (for me at least) that this movie got success is the actors and nothing else.
It was just a standard, monotonous as you said, movie that which theme was already movied before.
Some guys going for trouble and in the end succeeding.It was nothing else than that for me.
About Inception, the first time I downloaded it I just watched up to 40 minutes and did understand nothing.
I just stopped the movie.
But after 2 days, I watched it and I gotta say that it was an amazing movie, IMO at least.
Every characted of the movie was performed in an excelent way and they accomplished to give me the feeling
of suspence.Suspence for me is the first criteria that a movie should have.
I also watched yesterday Resident Evil: Afterlife.
All I have to say is that I was really disapointed.I was waiting for this movie for over a year and when I watched it I was like...what?
It has nothing different than the previous Resident Evil Extinction, which was an AMAZING movie and made me addictided to that Movie Series.Afterlife, except the effects that are always impressive on Resident Evil series, had nothing more.Not even suspence, adventure, joy.
Nothing for me.
I'm about to download Shutter Island and I'll let you know about it.
