I could see why you wouldn't rate it as highly as I did but hate seems a bit extra.

Honestly he is pretty honest tbh

They definitely built off of what Inception did with the buildings and having landscapes/rooms rotate 90 degrees at a time.

They did,but they did it significantly better imo.
Then again Inception bored me.. people were raving about it like it was the 2nd coming of Christ and it wasn't.
I wasn't expecting much from Strange, and I got a great movie.
Maybe that's the crucial difference.

Awe, I love Inception.

It's a fine film, but it gets a lot of credit for complexity and inventiveness that it doesn't have. I could see how going in with high expectations would make that movie a big disappointment.

Expectation is half of any experience. Honestly, if someone tells me I will like something I consider it a spoiler and it affects my viewing experience (because I expect to like it more than I am liking it as I watch, which ends in disappointment).

When I saw Inception the first time I literally only knew the title of it and had heard no reviews, so I was pretty pleased.

Just watched Münich. Like most Steven Spielberg movies, I thought it was pretty tedious. There was a lot of good scenes in the middle of the movie, but I was terminally bored well before the ending. I'm not sure I think Spielberg has done anything good since Jurassic Park.

I liked Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me If You Can, Minority Report and Schindlers List. Nothing much since 2002 though.

I forgot Catch Me If You Can! I've watched all of those and that movie is the only one that really impressed me. I've watched it several times.

Amistad and Lincoln are great, even if Lincoln was carried by impressive acting.
