(Late reply is late... but better late than never!)
I was sad that there weren't more levels to the dream worlds, to be honest. Wow, there's three levels and then you're in Limbo? Oh. OK then. That wasn't explained well either. I remember Cobb and Ellen Page entering Cobb's dream while they were in the third level of Fischer's dream... so how does that work?
Personally, I find my enjoyment to be ruined when a film/book/whatever tries to explain something fantastic, because ultimately they fail. Yeah, sometimes they do. I guess I can look past it if it's something really fantastic or magical, but here it seemed to me like it was something more mechanical and technical, so I needed and wanted an explanation for that, haha.
I don't think it's as clever as people think it is. I also don't understand was was so confusing about it I don't understand it either. The concept is quite interesting, I'll admit that, but it's just not that cleverly executed, imo. I think people find it confusing because the explanations in the movie are kind of confusing (I'm especially thinking of the whole Leo Di Caprio-Ellen Page dreamworld exposition scene), but overall it's really not that difficult to grasp.
Also, I don't think something it's super-clever if you don't understand it. Shouldn't it be the other way around? If you don't understand it, then maybe the movie was just... not very good. I don't understand why people seem to think this way. Humans are capable of understanding anything. If you don't "get" a film, it's not necessarily your fault - maybe it's just the film that it's poorly done.
