I found the characters likeable, but I didn't give damn about them. In truth, not many film characters go beyond 'likeable' to me, so this wasn't a huge detriment. But I did notice that, despite the stellar cast, I wasn't involved with the characters at all and never felt any jeopardy or suspense - simply interest.
But since the interest was so intense, I give Inception far higher marks than many a film where I feel jeopardy and suspense, but little interest.
