Inception doesn't have constant twists. It is structured like a team heist movie. A twist, of course, is an unexpected turn. Most of Inception is fairly straightforward, the trick is keeping up with what level of the dream state the characters are in at any one point. Not exactly a twist. And then the ultimate "twist" is really the question... is reality the real world, or one level in?

And yes, I have seen Inception rated as one of the best movies made in the last few decades, even listed on all-time best movies. Way overrated.

Inception and the Top 10 Dream Movies of All Time
IMDB is a reliable source for movie information, but the top 250 list is based on user votes. Even though I would rate Inception quite highly, it is not on my Top 10 best movies of all time. This is groupthink, and even though it appears in the top 10, it doesn't mean that anyone that voted for it thinks it SHOULD be in the top 10, it just means it got a lot of votes. I think few people would say that Shawshank Redemption is the best movie in cinema history, but there it is at number 1 on the IMDB list. It's a good movie, sure, but not number 1.

You first link is just "reporting" the IMDB situation.

The second link doesn't call Inception one of the 10 best movies of all time. The writer simply says it is the best movie he has ever seen. Subtle difference, but certainly different.

Your third link is the writer's opinion about the top 10 dream movies of all time... and he doesn't even include Inception in the list.
