I meant to post about this the other day...
But I forgot because of the Avatar news.
I saw the new Christopher Nolan movie, 'Inception', the other day.
It was a good movie. Nothing great, but in a summer full of bad movies it didn't make me want to demand by money back afterwards.
But there was one problem that with the movie that occurs in a lot of Nolan's movies; a lack of women.
There's a grand total of two female characters in this film. Without going into details (because I don't want to spoil anything), there's a six member team in the film and their target, which brings things up to seven people. Of these seven people, only one is female.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the female character that was a part of the group, she was the only one with any type of common sense in the film; and even though the male actors did a good job, I couldn't help but think that some of those roles could have been played by women.
I like Nolan's work, I just wish that he would include more female characters, especially female characters who are not love interests.
Anyway, I'm not holding by breath for a female villain for the next Batman movie.
