We at Movieline know a thing or two about the tsunami of bile that accompanies even the slightest dissent from the cult of Inception -- the taunting, abusive, bullying, emphatic hate ignited by a negative review. And then along came Jackson Murphy, a/k/a "Lights Camera Jackson," an 11-year-old online movie critic who dared to take his own Inception disappointment live on CBS. All I can say is, "Welcome to the club, Jackson!" And also: "Who the hell are these people?"
On one level it's clear that readers from infamous child-tormenting bastion 4chan have moved on to a new 11-year-old victim after their much publicized battle against Jessi Slaughter. That's to be expected. (Don't hack us!) But see if you can spot the clear delineation between those folks and the ones who are really just piling on in the name of Christopher Nolan's blockbuster because, well, that just what they do?
You have to go to CBS's YouTube page to actually watch the video (if we're going to bash anyone, how about a network that disables embedding of its morning show segments?), but the reactions are free for all to see. Fly, meet sledgehammer:
what an idiot...why does he feel the need to SHOUT EVERY WORD AT YOU and why does he repeat "visually stunning" like a trillion times? does that think that it makes him sound a little bit more professional than he actually is? which is not at all? and i'm 12 and i thought inception was a phenomenal movie with a brilliant plot that i could understand well, thanks.
WTF is going on...what did i just watch>??? how can this be happening...this kid is MORE confusing the INCEPTION!!!
Jesus Christ, stupid Americans. My brother is 8 and he understood Inception perfectly.
make that kid watch Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom
Hey kid, im 12, just saw inception. and i f*cking got it okay! i could go on explaining how wrong you are about inceptions plot but i won't. i saw romana and beezus, well, i watched half of it and walked out of the thearter bcuz it was so bad. p.s. ru on cocaine or sumthin cuz ur voice is rlly f*ckin annoying and you look like your about to explode
Having an 11-year-old review inception is like having a dung beetle review Popular Mechanics.
This kid belongs in marketing, talks like a pro but in context f*cking retarded.
Great! An eleven year old with an opinion! Let's put him on CBS.
Salt is better then Inception derp
puberty before tv pls
Maybe after he hits puberty he'll able to understand a classic like inception.
theres a reason why you dont get the movie, is because you are 11. watch the movie in 8 years and you will get it
this is terrible...who would give an 11 year old kid crack and the ability to speak like a douchebag? Good job kid, you're a wunderkind in hackery
VISUALLY STUNNING. Unlike that little...kid?
if only his mother gave him milk instead of red bull as a child, he just might have had a valid opinion of films.
oh and if he thought Inception was confuzing, i want to see him get Primer.
Anything is easy to follow than Inception? What about Primer?
He didn't understand Inception because HE'S 11 YEARS OLD!
I disagree with him when he says kids his age will find it confusing. I saw Inception again today and as I was getting out of the theater, I overheard a kid around Jackson's age talking about his interpretation of the ending with his dad (I think it's his dad) so that kid clearly got what's going on.
so the kid on inception says he's too DUMB to understand the movie, thus give it a bad grade
Ramon and Faggot gets better review than Inception. Kill this kid with fire.
Ramona gets a B..._Inception_ gets a C...I'm at a loss for words.
his is bullsh*t ,inception is a C ,wtf its supposed to be a A+
Okay seriously, why would anyone listen to him? He's 11 years old. No wonder he couldn't understand Inception. His little brain couldn't stay focused for more than a few minutes at a time.
The Inception music score is good too. I guess he is too young to understand music score.
What are you smoking? Kung Fu Panda barely counts as an action film . . . Inception was terrific and has a wonderfully developed plot. Your grading scale is also ridiculously flawed . . . you didn't like SALT that much, said it was kind of boring, and yet it scored higher than a Kids Movie you raved about. It's a good thing you have a few years before people start taking your critiques seriously.
Future Armond White. Prepare yourselves.
Anyone who goes to school with this kid, could you beat him up?
It's not all bad, though! "Unfortunately I agree with him about Page's character," one commenter writes, while another adds, "In all fairness, he's no worse than a lot of 20 and 30 year old critics online."
OK, it's pretty much all bad.
