Looper was good, but didnt live up to hype imo. Very original, good cast.
Luckily I don't really have my finger on the pulse of upcoming movies these days, so miss most of the hype machine for the 'next big hit', which makes for a more enjoyable cinema experience with minimal expectations and all.
I definitely enjoyed it, some good action and some tense moments (with a sprinkling of humourous moments e.g. the safe, I was all "what the hell is she doing" but made sense in retrospect).
But like any movie that uses time-travel as a device, you start questioning the logic of "if this person did/didn't do that thing in the present/future, then how come all that stuff still happens/doesn't happen".
At least the how-time-travel-works setup wasn't overly convoluted as can happen (in fact they pretty much told us not to think too hard about it, via a couple of throwaway lines!)
There were also a couple of characters that you felt like something was going to be revealed about them (in the sense of where they came from or who they become in the future) but just never happens.
Also, like someone else mentioned, it was just plain weird seeing Joseph Gordon Levitt with a stumpy Bruce Willis nose & dimples.
Good fun though.
