Watching this in AMC's Dolby theatre is an experience I probably would have paid $50 for. Incredible.
I was supposed to go see it yesterday in Dolby at AMC but the AC broke in the auditorium so they had to give everyone refunds 
If Oppenheimer wasn’t coming out I would’ve spun the block for it in Dolby or IMAX this weekend but oh well

Yeah, MI:2 is the weakest entry by a solid chunk but I had fun with it. Definitely one of the most early 2000s films ever though, lol. Nu-Metal, comical amount of slow-motion dives, bland ass villain, and it felt like they tried turning Ethan into Brosnan’s Bond. That being said, I thought things kicked into gear action-wise by the time Ethan broke into Biocyte.
Feels like a time capsule flick to me in a lot of ways, good and bad. The Woo elements, as cheesy as they got, are nostalgic to me now. Thandie’s fine ass is another plus.
I will say, the ultimatum of "get captured, die, or choose to accept" is pretty fukkin dope and shows that everyone in IMF was down bad moments before they joined, and were identified for their skills and got the mission. Unless it was shown before, it should be a cornerstone of the series and can be how the team grows or the series continues.
I could see someone like Jake Gyllenhaal signing up for 2-3 of these and getting the mission in his first.

Loved the action scenes, but the acting was mid. Not feeling the new chick. Every time she goes off and does something stupid, Tom has to save her from doing something else stupider. I'm getting Paula Patton vibes from her and she damn near ruined Ghost Protocol for me.
Yo this movie is Metal Gear Solid

I watched it tonight. Although I liked Fallout more, Dead Reckoning Pt 1 was still enjoyable. The only major complaint about this film is that I felt it dragged on too long in the 3rd act.
One of those stunt sequences was originally 90 minutes

Saw it last night
Outside of the final train scene where they were hanging on for dear life, this joint was super mid.
Too long and it relied on Mission Impossible tropes instead of doing something new like they’ve done with each since Ghost Protocol.

I agree. It was alright, but I'm hoping Part 2 might save the unforgettable shyt from Part 1.
