Absolutely, he has moments of greatness. I just hated him in this movie, and grew to hate the movie as well. For me it tried too hard to create it's own universe.

(Honestly, I would have rather been playing call of duty than watching this movie, but at least I could watch this w/ my wife).
Di Caprio, I'm sorry, is just atrocious. There are some 'actors' that are bad actors, but are still interesting to watch attempting to act, namely Tom Cruise, but Di Caprio, god, it is aweful. Should just be holding the script, reading the lines directly.
Was a fun, light hearted movie filled with a very poor lead actor, a shallow supporting cast (no fault of the actors, but not a lot of time to develop character when you must storm the sub base with sniper rifles and what not), intensely absurd pretexts to hold the plot together. Ah whatever, this film is better than most Hollywood films, but that is saying absolutely nothing.
100% agree with you, man. Both di caprio and levitt barely acted in this movie, it was almost painful at times (Hardy's performance was the best, IMO). So much time was spent just explaining all these rules behind the concept of it, which is really just what this "movie" is. They're selling some hyped-up, drawn out, fantasy concept that people just eat up because it comes off as "smart" and "edgy", when really it's just a gimmick incorporated into a very mediocre movie.
The whole was a big Deus Ex Machina. Every step in the plot was just another brand new facet of this whole dream world that just seemed contrived so they can film (bad) action sequences in different settings.
And whatever thunder di caprio had is now just dead (to me)... I doubt he will ever top The Departed.
you're extremely bad at watching movies.

yeah i actually agree with christophera... i didnt think the action scenes were bad, i thought they were really nicely choreographed and as interesting to watch as some of the fights in the first Matrix film, i loved the bits where Hardy was soldiering it alone, i genuinely thought the whole action element of it brought new things to a film which could have ended up being a poor copy of more wordy, introspective dream based films.
some of the ideas in it seemed overly simplistic but then again, the film was criticised for being overly complicated, its a film, what do you want? it seems covering this type of subject matter in some ways they're damned if they do and damned if they dont.
overall i thought it was excellent and way better than Shutter Island, though i wish i hadn't seen Shutter Island by the time i saw Inception as the stories are very similar in parts.

Thought Inception was great , though I do agree with some that the fight scenes were a little lacking EXCEPT for the fight scene with Levitt in the rotating hallways, that was superb and awesome. And the soundtrack was beautiful.

Di Caprio is a badman.
Shutter Island was a quality watch, enjoyed it thoroughly.
He did a good job of a South African accent in Blood Diamond too, its a hard accent to nail and none of you (apart from possibly some South Africans) can say that if you heard him talk like that in a bar somewhere you would think he wasn't actually South African.
Inception was decent, probably wont remember it the way I will Shutter Island but I didnt feel like my time was completely wasted after watching it.
Some of yous must have some pretty fucking epic move collections to say some of the shit thats been said so far.

Maybe he gets better as it goes on, but there were some bad moments. His speech about killing the shark? Sounded like someone was telling him his lines through an earpiece for the first time .as they filmed it. And that would be an ASS hooooooooole thing to do.
I generally dislike him, btw.
