The Social network was good and all but Inception was a masterful, intelligent film that was original to boot. Far better IMHO.

- icandoitbetter 16y agoNo, Inception had a mediocre direction, atrocious dialogue, wooden characters, overcomplicated-without-being-deep plot. Not that I take the Golden Globes seriously, but I'm certain that Inception did not deserve the award.
- hugh3 16y agoAs it happens, I saw both of these films for the first time in the last week or so. I'd say that Inception was a hugely ambitious film which didn't quite hit its mark, while The Social Network was a much simpler, much less ambitious film which just happened to be nearly flawless. Inception was a fifteen-course lobster meal where a couple of the courses were a little salty, while The Social Network was just a dish of masterfully-prepared spaghetti, far better than spaghetti has any right to be. Which of these you think is more worthy of recognition is a bit of a broader question.
- twidlit 16y agoI'd say the one pushing the envelope while achieving some mass market success... but that's just me, cuz i happen to want more ambitious films.
- anto1ne 16y agoAnd Black Swan was a masterpiece too, way better than The Social Network IMO. IMDB seems to agree that Inception > Black Swan > TSN which makes me wonder who are the judges of golden globes ?
- melvinram 16y ago"The Social Network, I'm really happy for ya and I'mma let you finish, but Inception was one of the best movies of all time." lol yes, i'm easy to amuse :D
