Why does every conversation about this dude have to mention Third Rock from the Sun?
Damn, I just fell into my own trap.
I get the feeling that all of the hype he's been receiving lately has more to do with the fact that he graduated from that silly comedy to credible movies, and less about his actual acting chops. It's similiar to all of the "Bob Saget is really funny" talk of years past, when people first discovered that he actually curses (oh...my...GOD!).

A random reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes whose review is somehow quoted on the Inception wikipedia page raves about Gordon-Levitt's Oscar deserving performance, and how he stole the spotlight from other big name actors. What? Really? Did we watch the same movie? I mean he did participate in a thrilling action sequence where he somehow managed to beat up an armed guard, and I have to admit that his little kissy thing with Juno was pretty cute, but this does not make a great performance.
Not trying to hate on dude, as I haven't seen any of his work outside of Inception and 500 Days of Summer (which I HATED). I just get a little annoyed with people who tend to get all crazy with Christopher Nolan and anything related to his projects. Let's slow down all the "next Heath Ledger" talk until he stops doing shit like this, m'k? Thanks!

Dude does knows how to wear suits though, and that counts for a lot around here...
P.S.
Inception is a good movie.
