Inception is first big budget movie Ive seen in a long time with a totally original script. Its one of those films that actually makes the viewer think about the concept of time, reality and how the brain processes information/emotions. Dreams have always intrigued me so a movie like this is right up my alley.
What plot-holes were you dissatisfied with ?

Scorsese's catalog. For someone who's considered "the greatest director of all time" by a lot of folks, I can't fully get into his stuff, aside from The Departed. Nothing he's made holds a candle to Coppola or Leone's best.

^ It's supposed to be British people making fun of all of the crazy concepts the success of their country has been based on throughout history.
Like how arbitrary monarchy is. How kings were thought of as above regular people, and about how everything sucked but they try to convince you things were so great back then.

Kim Kardashian Tape.

Other overrated movies:
-Scarface. It's not a critically acclaimed film, but it's not even a top tier gangster flick. Never understood why people hold the film in high regard.
-The Hangover.
-Avatar. It's all visuals, no substance.

Pulp Fiction is overrated but the breakfast scene and mr. wolf are the most
Star Wars is just iconic and pushed CG animation to new heights. Not overrated in my view.
I think Terminator series is overrated.

If that wasn't Ice Cube and Chris Tucker that movie would've been terrible.

Eh, I didn't enjoy the Kill Bills that much either, and whatever movie it is where the dude and his friend do a lot of drugs and get that hotel room and do that thing in the desert.

To be clear, in no way am I dissing him; I definitely think he's above average, to say the least, and I can unequivocally say that none of the movies have been bad--which can't be said for a lot of directors. As I said before, I thought The Departed was ingenious--although to be fair, that can be attributed more to the screenplay than the directing. However, I don't see anything in his directing style or catalog to warrant him being the GOAT. It seems, to my generation, that Scorsese being the GOAT is a foregone conclusion (leading up to his Oscar win, everyone was making a fuss about how the GOAT deserved it that year, how it was a travesty that the GOAT had never won, etc.), but I don't see anything that elevates him above Leone, Coppola, Lumet, etc.
Casino was dope, as was Goodfellas, but as far as mob flicks go, they both lacked the emotional draw that Godfather I & II and Once Upon A Time in America had (maybe I just have a soft spot for epic, sweepingly romantic crime flicks with picturesque soundtracks). I'd place Casino and Goodfellas in the same tier as Miller's Crossing/Donnie Brasco/etc.
Taxi Driver, half of Raging Bull before I fell asleep, The Color of Money, Goodfellas, Casino, Shutter Island, The Departed, Hugo.
