Nolan's films do create hypes and they are often presented as something grand, in actuality they are not. Now, I don't think the fault lies with the director, he has his style. It's the mass audience who are easily swayed.
Having said that, Inception is pretty good. You get a mind bending sci-fi movie for your time and money. Happy watching. :)
It sure seems like it.
A mind bending sci-fi movies definitely sounds like something I might like ;>)
