"Right, not Inception. Still, after watching it once more, I believe I've been overly critical of the film, and am now ready to make amends. I've always rated the film highly, but, for me, the entire appeal of Inception lives and dies by plot alone (well, and Leo). Whereas other, highly placed movies offer say action, choreography, character appeal, sex appeal, cool, music etc. Inception does not, and its placing on my list has suffered as a result. However, it's plot is dense and detailed enough to overcome its shortcomings in other departments (warts, contrived expositional dialogue and all) so it is very, very enjoyable. I should credit it for excelling in one area and not penalise it for ignoring others (even if plot can be of lesser importance to me than other focal points). "
