Inception: Nolan's take on dreams

I saw Inception about a few days ago but I was hesitant on writing anything about it for fear that my opinion was somewhat invalid. Also, my thoughts on this film are very similar to my feelings towards Toy Story 3. Though I feel I could follow and enjoy Toy Story 3 much much more.

So, Let's begin shall we? 
I can understand why so many people loved this film. Really, I do. I enjoyed it too, it was action packed, there were some beautiful scenes and I do believe there was some great acting involved. 
So let me start with the bad before I move any further. The dream sequences seemed to me like miniature action movie sets as opposed to the real complexity that dreams can be. Each level of dreams we were introduced to were like set-ups for chase sequences or fighting scenes. Real dreams are complex, they hardly make sense and they are as unpredictable as mother-in-laws.
