Best two reviews:

2) Variety - If Inception is a metaphysical puzzle, it's also a metaphorical one: It's hard not to draw connections between Cobb's dream-weaving and Nolan's filmmaking -- an activity devoted to constructing a simulacrum of reality, intended to seduce us, mess with our heads and leave a lasting impression. Mission accomplished. (Rating: 100) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
36) Movieline - Everything he (Nolan) does is forced and overthought, and Inception, far from being his ticket into hall-of-fame greatness, is a very expensive-looking, elephantine film whose myriad so-called complexities -- of both the emotional and intellectual sort -- add up to a kind of ADD tedium.

37) New York Observer - I'd like to tell you just how bad Inception really is, but since it is barely even remotely lucid, no sane description is possible. (Rating: 25) Read Full Review >
