Looking at IMDB the movie scores a 9.4 out of 10, but when you read the bad reviews, it seems like the movie is really, really aweful. Reviews criticizing a movie are generally informative and honest, they are usually trying to help you from wasting time. reading both good and bad reviews on IMDB, it seems like the good reviews have nothing real to say about the movie, except that its was good (even in this thread, what was good about it besides the graphix), the bad reviews seem to go like this
"I'm trying very hard to be fair here. Given my high expectations and all the praise, it's hard not to bite back. So I'll temper my initial review ("Sitting through Inception was more disappointing and more frustrating than discovering my first girlfriend was cheating on me") with this one: "Inception buried everything that I might have loved about it 10 feet under things that were terrible."
"This film is downright boring. I literally almost fell asleep at a noon showing. I also almost walked out 35 minutes before it ended; I simply did not care about any of these characters. The effects are neat, and look pretty great, but the story is so asinine that... wait, no, the story isn't asinine, its execution is."
People generally say the execution of the move was terrible, the actors didn't act like real people, you didnt care about the characters (a trend in today's film's)(compare the original star wars to the later ones, watch these reviews if you havent seen it yet

Can anyone read through the negative reviews in IMDB or something, and try to convince me that this movie is not a waste of money??? : D
