Inception Hype

I've been reading through some Inception reviews after i noticed it was a trending topic on Twitter, and then later going on IMDB and seeing that it's rated at 9.3/10, which is nothing short of EPIC. It now ranks at #3 in the all-time list, i'm not sure how long it'll stay there but it's now behind Shawshank Redemption (#1) and behind The Godfather (#2) after overtaking Godfather II which now ranks at number 4. I've seen NONE of this top 4, should i be worried? Godfather is a no-go, way too long. Shawshank is definitely on the list to read though! This is THE movie geek site, most people there know what they're talking about.

So what's the hype? To be honest, i'm not too sure what it's about and from what i've read going to go see the movie won't improve my understand significantly. Everyone seems to be coming out of it quite dazed and confused, and seem to have very strong opinions about it. There's always films that people LOVE to make sweeping statements about, and Inception seems to be one of those films at the moment, that is getting people talking, i mean look at me here now... blogging about it.

The most interesting review I've read so far is this, I think it's important to start with some of the negative reviews - New York magazine David Edelstein wrote -
