It could have improved with a better ending
I think they'll make a 2nd

I thought the ending was perfect
And the pacing of the final third was spot on. A very polished, and brilliant film.

The acting saved it,
not one weak performance although your man from Third Rock From the sun was trying his hardest to be the new Keanu Reeves. Leo was good though back to form after the bollocks that was Blood Diamond.

Oh! That's where he's from!
I kept thinking I could recognize his face from a SciFi related TV thingy, and couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks!

I think the ending was good
But could have been better. A bit too straight forward. I was expecting a twist.

I don't know how they could really, well not with Cobb anyway.

Well, you remember the end, don't you?
I don't want to spoil it for other people, but what happened to the token?

I think the ending is precisely why there shouldn't be a sequel.

Agreed
Leave it as it is.

I don't think Nolan would make a sequel to it anyway,
Inception's clearly a labour of love.

He's worked on it for 8+ years
If he'd have wanted to do a sequel/series, he'd have seeded more in the film, make it look like the beginning to something as opposed to a wholly complete article.

I just think
He could have done the ending a lot more thrilling. Too many doors closed.

Whaaaaaat?
I think you need to watch it again. The brilliance of the ending (without wanting to give too much away) is the realisation of the meaning it has for the rest of the film when you look at it again.

Well, I think so anyway.

I wholeheartedly agree!
I want to see it again, see how I perceive it all with the knowledge of the ending firmly in mind.

No
I think it could have been much better, but explaining it here would spoil it. Just think of how he sees his kids every single time. The clothes they are wearing and how they're playing. And then, how he sees them at the end. Can you tell the differences?

I'm becoming more confused reading this post than I was watching the film.

So, did you see the ending and NOT think about the implications it had?

I don't want to say in the main thread incase anyone has seen it. I'll gaz you
