Finally I found someone who feels the same about Inception as I did. Great concept, but it slowly became a typical action movie with lots of boom bang shooting fighting once they entered dream world. And most importantly none of the characters were interesting or charismatic enough for the viewers to actually care about.

The Prestige is probably still Nolan's best film.

I find Hugh Jackman's character even more annoying than the whiny kid in Real Steel...

Well I didn't really follow the Inception thread here when the movie was still on, so I didn't have any ideas of how many here liked or did not like it. Yet majority of my movie-loving friends lauded it as a great movie.

Hugh Jackman did a great job in Real Steel as his character is supposed to be annoying and he portrayed that well. The whole Real Steel movie is nothing more than a sports + dad-son bonding movie with a predictable ending.

Speaking of dad-son bonding movies, two HK movies came to mind...

One's a classic,


And the other one's quite light hearted and funny.


And I felt more emotionally engaged in both of them than Real Steel.
