If you didn’t like Memento or the Dark Knight, I would skip this movie. Like I said, it is excellent, but certainly not for the general public. And young kids probably won’t get it, and if they are too young they probably would get scared.
Thanks for the update. I did like Dark Knight, but did not see Memento. Just stating Dark Knight causes me NOT to take the kids to this movie. I did not take the kids to Dark Knight and would not allow them to watch it for at least three more years. Oldest child is 12.
My husband just dragged me unwillingly off to see it. 4 stars from me, 3 1/2 from him.
There are a lot of movies like Dark Knight, I won’t watch because of their violence and cruelty but that’s aren’t an issue in Inception. The violence is cartoonish, non-graphic. Dream guy aim takes bad guy aim to a new level.
