Some of the set pieces were fun. The opera scene is one of my favorites of the year.

but everything else felt kinda dry to me. I think it was the dialogue and the meh performances that came along with it. I put that all on Mcquarrie. It also got silly towards the end.

I expected to like it a lot more due to the review scores. However I've found that all movies not named fury road this summer to be nowhere as good as the hype.

Edit. That halo 5 product placement though :russ:

Breh, besides the first two movies this whole franchise is dry as hell, McQuarrie actually did a better job bringing some liveliness to it than Bird and Abrams.

I liked the opening of that film and the scene in Russia too.

Every scene with Renner in this one made me yawn and check out.

Define 'the opening' because as far as I remember that movie opens with an incredibly amateurishly shot tv-production level scene of another IMF agent being chased and killed in action. And I like to emphasize that it's so amateurishly shot that it felt like Bird let his 2nd unit's assistant director's assistant direct it. One of the most mind-bogglingly anti-cinematic openings I've seen outside of The Avengers' tv-level opening scene.

I'm not caping for anything, last two posts have been me shytting on Ghost Protocol because it's unfathomable to me anyone could enjoy that shyt outside of the Dubai scene. And maybe, maybe, that hallway digital mirror scene if it hadn't gone on forever.

typical tom cruise action blockbuster, I like tom cruise but everything in these movies is always standard as hell, he plays the bootleg james bond or ethan hunt, he encounters another female agent in the field, she proceeds to keep screwing him over and over throughout the film yet he persists in trusting her because he wants to get in them drawls, the truth is revealed in Wayne Manor/The demonic Eyes Wide Shut orgy house "fidelio" (The Rothschild mansion), a pretty lackluster finale cue the credits.


I thought the main villain in this was jon voight from the first one for a second, lol dude looks like michael douglas from falling down


at the end im thinking i should have watched southpaw
