Can't believe Solomon Lane is alive in some MI6 blacksite and we had to deal with this handsome dud of a villain. here's hoping he's THE LAST THING THE ALGORITHM WOULD EXPECT in Dead Reckoning 2

I loved the new villain purely because of Paris. Give me a cool heavy and I'll love any villain.

AccountSupervisor posted:I respect that because at the very least it avoids the feeling that he just casts hot actresses in these so he can make out with them. He has control and ownership of the franchise so as the lead actor its a pretty respectful move especially considering the actresses are much much younger than him. I do love that all of the actresses are around my age though. That might be part of why I find them all so amazingly attractive. I know Cruise is like 60, but he plays as 40 so the casting is respectable.

I will say I did appreciate the hallway fight had the right amount of brutality and sound mixing that they could get away with in a pg-13, I felt those head slams into brick with that sound.

That was really good. I've haven't really seen a lot with Pom before. She seems great. Really quick on the uptake there. Oh right, she's Mantis. Forgot about that.

Just saw it. Literally nobody cares about capital-m Movies more than Tom Cruise. I think that, if the technology existed, he would clone himself, tell those clones to go to every theater and personally thank/shake the hand of every attendee, and those clones would happily do it. I was bummed that Ilsa got killed. I liked the character and her history from the previous movies, and I liked Ferguson's sly "double double cross" performance, and even though I think Hayley Atwell is an absolute bombshell, I don't consider that a fair trade character wise. Overall good stuff, I enjoyed it. I think the current standings of the "modern" franchise are 4-6-5-7. That makes Dead Reckoning the "weakest" but that's kind of a technicality, because all these movies are better action blockbusters than 99% of the crap they're releasing nowadays. It also makes me want to see submarine movies make a comeback.

Barbieheimer is sucking all the air out of the room, unfortunate given I think this film will be seen as better than either of those two in posterity. Top Gun was also basically the only and first big blockbuster that wasn't superheroes at the time when the US was starting to reopen.

Lol at Tom being older than Jon Voigt was in the first movie. Although by this one he's visibly aging. Also what was the deal with those alternate angles of Luther during his conversation with Ethan? They looked weird and the drastic change in angle was jarring.

Loved this. I thought the direction of the Fiat car chase was outstanding, I loved watching that thing zip around at a distance. Place your bets: what’s the deal with the computer coffin thing Gabriel was inside of on the train? muscles like this! posted:Also what was the deal with those alternate angles of Luther during his conversation with Ethan? They looked weird and the drastic change in angle was jarring. I don’t remember anything weird about that scene but there’s a good chance it was because Rhames was sitting down for it lol. The weirdest scene for me was the bit where Tom is chilling on the balcony after a heated conversation with his team and a Rebecca Ferguson comes out and they share pleasantries about Venice and then snuggle. Seemed way out of tune with the rest of the film. fadam fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Jul 16, 2023 |

Top Gun is a franchise that had a ton of nostalgia behind it and peaked perfectly hype wise in a summer with very little else that people wanted to see. This one had a weird early opening due to the IMAX situation and still might end up with the biggest Friday-Sunday in franchise history. (Discounting Thursday previews it's slightly ahead of Fallout's Friday)

I've watched every one of these movies in a theater, but don't ask me to summarize any of them because the only part I can ever remember is Emilio getting spiked in the elevator. At some point later, Simon Pegg shows up. This one was good, I look forward to watching and forgetting the next one as well.

That approach requires investment in characters actually talking to each other, which this movie could not care less about. It all really just doesn't fit the vibe of a big bombastic action movie, which really needs a more direct and tangible threat. Just have the AI try to crash the world's electrical grid or give it a nuke or something.

There is a British show The Capture where season 2 had a lot of stuff that are very similar. Operatives which are not seen on security cameras and who can hack into comms so the base can only listen in horror as their team gets fed fake info which sounds like it's them. Those things are quite scary to see if you then think how much of our lives are controlled by what is shown on a screen. Patlabor 2 also has a good scene like the submarine where fake info is presented on radar screens and causes all sorts of havoc. Just like with a sub there is no way to check if that blip is real or not.

muscles like this! posted:Lol at Tom being older than Jon Voigt was in the first movie. Although by this one he's visibly aging. I read that a lot of the exposition issues came about because of the particular difficulties of filming during Covid. How true it is I don't know but it makes sense to me I guess, that it was harder to get all the actors in the same rooms together and have a more natural back and forth between them, so we end up with lines that sound like they were all filmed separately and edited together.

I enjoyed this one, although I'd agree with others that it's not at the top of the series, behind Fallout and Ghost Protocol at least. The action and suspense sequences were as good as ever, but the plot was unusually convoluted for these movies, especially when the plots are usually so disposable. Hayley Atwell is a great addition to the cast. I rewatched the first MI last night and my god, Tom Cruise was practically a baby. That movie has some 90s-rear end ideas of how computers and the internet work. Great movie, and definitely much more of a paranoid spy thriller than the spy-oriented action movies the series would become.

the reason they present imf like they do is because after baldwin kicked it in the last movie the entire agency is just ethan and his buddies and everyone is just really embarrassed about it. the guy at the start wasnt even an agent, he was just a food delivery guy hired by kittridge. thats why he was so bad with the code word stuff. i hope harley quinn returns in the next one, she was fun

I think he was an agent, at least a very very new employee, because Ethan specifically tells him "You made the right choice" as in he made The Choice. Also this retconning of the IMF in that its made up of former government agents who broke some kind of law and choose between the IMF and prison is 100% seeds to set up the franchise beyond Tom Cruise.

Kill All Cops posted:Pom absolutely slayed in that pirate coat outfit Also I really enjoyed the movie, Ethan constantly being in check for a whole movie and never managing to clever double-cross his way out of it was a novel experience. And while we all know Tom Cruise is clearly actively trying to die while making a movie, the big motorcycle jump was so hilariously unecessary. They cut away like ten seconds later and don't even show him approaching the train, he just jumped for the sake of jumping!

Seconding this, Rebecca Furguson, Hayley Atwell, and Vanessa Kirby are all really attractive to me. i’m not sure Rebecca Ferguson is a good trade for Hayley Atwell, though I liked the movie quite a bit though, I was even okay with the exposition dumps. An AI antagonist press-ganging humans into its service through extortion/greed is a pretty neat antagonist that I don’t think I’ve seen in a movie before. Action setpieces were cool, I still like Mission Impossible movies quite a bit. I just bought the 4K box set of the prior movies (the only 4K version I previously owned was Fallout), looking forward to rewatching the series. It’s been a long time since I watched #2 and I don’t know that I’ve actually seen #3 or 4 all the way through. As much as I don’t care about Tom Cruise’s personal life, he is consistently entertaining as an actor and it’s my understanding that he truly does give a poo poo about his performance and is very good to his fans, and I can very much respect that.

Tom Cruise saw a Jackie Chan movie and said "I didn't have a miserable childhood being transformed into the ultimate gymnast/acrobat/dancer but I can at least try" and here we are. A couple of random things: These really are kid's movies starting at 4. My nine year old loves this poo poo. Tom Cruise is now his favorite actor and my son says some variation of "He had to practice that A LOT, wow!" every 10 minutes. At the beginning of MI:5, Solomon Lane is in the background of a couple of the shots before Tom Cruise gets gassed by the Syndicate. Cool! Both the 4th and the 6th movies are about stopping nukes. The 5th movie is about keeping money away from a guy that will, presumably, use it to detonate a nuke. Lotta nukes, is what I'm saying. If Dead Reckoning Part 2 lands this will be the action franchise with the most consistent track record (5 movies minimum that didn't drop the ball).

So about Ilsa Faust and the 2nd part: What is her role in the 2nd part if she’s like, really dead? They didn’t even have a funeral! I refuse to believe Ilsa is dead and they have only some flashbacks in the pt2.
