Oh dear, he's got a case of the Tommy Wiseau virus. Let's look at the symptoms: -Laughing manically at nothing (check) -Over egotism (check) -Forcing people to do things his way (check)
From Spain, sorry for my English. Is a really big, BIG MISTAKE in this movie when Anthony Hopkins Talks with Tom Cruise About Spain. The director , the producers and the screenwriters should have been better informed. They mix two celebrations, which do not seem, from two different cities, which are nowhere near. In Sevilla they celebrate (La SemanaSanta), in which they make processions with saints. But they don't burn anything!!!In Valencia, they celebrate (Las Fallas), there is fire, but nothing of saints.They burn cardboard and wooden figures that represent a satirical critique of topical issues. It is as if some Spaniards made a movie in America and say that on Thanksgiving Day children are dressed as turkey and go around the houses doing trick or treat
While I respect the intent of your comment, now I really want a holiday where kids dress as turkeys to go trick or treating. That sounds really cute and really absurd at the same time.
Any scene with a character rock climbing without any gear gives me a ton of anxiety. I know that's probably intentional, but I still hate most scenes like this, because they look like something out of my nightmares!
I didn’t know people disliked the first Mission Impossible movie. The plot was an interesting twist on the spy genre, regardless of the original tv show. And the infiltration scene of the computer server room, with Cruise hanging from the roof, is now culturally iconic.
and even if it wasn't, nobody can deny that the infiltration scene in that movie was directed and shot perfectly, you could really feel the tension throughout the whole scene, the only flaws with the scene were minor though, like Ethan catching the sweat drop with a move that in real life would involve breaking a few bones to accomplish. Or that one shot where you can see one of the backstage people adjusting the rope that Ethan is rappelling from (around the 1:48 mark th-cam.com/video/k-oVuQpjG3s/w-d-xo.htmlm48s )
I don't think it was so much that people didn't like it, but more that they were confused by the plot because it was more complex than most action movies. (It's really not that hard to follow if you pay attention though.) I believe that's why they changed directors and had a much more simplistic story in the second movie, but that didn't work out so well either. I remember my initial reaction when I saw it in theaters -- basically that it was more style over substance, pretty much the opposite of the first movie. That, and way too many uses of the masks!
People will complain about everything. The first film was considered too confusing, the second film had a thin plot, the third film was too dark, etc. Tom had said from the beginning that he preferred a different director for every episode so it can be different from sequel to sequel.
Say what you will about Tom Cruise, but that man has been a Box Office draw for the better part of four decades, and he doesn't really look like he's slowing down. Not many actors are just as big now as they were in the 80's. His commitment to his movies is incredible, which makes me a big fan.
Mission Impossible is proof that sometimes movies need a few tries before they really find their groove, 1 and 3 were both decent, 2 was kind of a mess at times, but 4 and 5 are two of the best action movies of this decade.
The first is still the best, in my opinion. Most complex, stylish, and in keeping with the spirit of the original series concept. 2 is the only bad one, but every one of the sequels are too action-driven.
“I smell the everlasting peace of Jesus Cruise.” Well done nostalgia critic. You have created a better image than Santa Christ. I fully expect to see Jesus Cruise as a character in your next review.
I remember not understanding anything going on the first time I watched this movie, but I chalked it up to being 8 years old and not knowing English very well. Now that I've re-watched the movie as an adult currently reading Lovecraft and Tolkien in their original language and having studied film at university, I still can't keep track of anything going on in this movie.
True story: my neighbour lived on the island in Sydney Harbour where the movie was filmed. He actually met Tom Cruise and gave him a tour of the island.
"This is like doing an X-Men movie, and for the first half hour, all we get is the kid who changes channels by blinking. A goddamn power I really wish I had right now!" Not sure if this line was intended to be subtle, or...
For those who keep mentioning The Last Samurai, NC never said it was bad. He just included it as a joke about Tom Cruise stroking his ego. As he said, MI2's non-boring parts are actually all the "very big penis" moments. lol
jp3813 My issue is that he like many others gets it wrong in the most SJW way. Cruise wasn't teaching anyone anything, and HE wasn't the last Samurai. Samurai, plural, the last of them were portrayed in the film. A real historical event where a Samurai master gathered warriors from across Japan to protest modernization laws and they had an epic and tragic final battle against the police, who had overwhelming numbers and firepower.
+promontorium It's mostly the marketing that really gives that impression. When you see a poster of Cruise that says "The Last Samurai", it's too easy of a target for comedians like Paul Mooney to tear it apart. Note that it takes inspiration from Dances with Wolves, which didn't face the same criticism.
You could argue that his comment about The Last Samurai was about people's (misinformed) reaction to Tom Cruise being in a movie with Samurai, and not the movie itself. NC was going over the public perception of Tom Cruise in that part of the video. And half the shitstorms in the world are centered on people not knowing what they're talking about as opposed to an actual problem.
Perhaps. I started with "You could argue" because I'm not sure what his intention was. Maybe he's playing 4D chess, and triggering this discussion in the comments was his plan all along... Hmm... I'm not sure I want to give him that much credit.
Bryce Mckenzie I actually think 1,3,4 and 5 were decent movies. But 2 was complete bulls*it. It was just incredibly bad. It was the first movie I watched and though, SH*T THIS IS BAD. That's how bad that movie was too me.
The Cartoon Adict The reason why is because Roger Ebert said the plot to the first one makes no sense so dumbed it down and this rime Roger Ebert was satisfied
Its not a bad film and quite enjoyable. But Tom Cruise becoming a samurai in less than a year, with the ability to match other samurais, who have trained their whole life, in a sword-fight is preposterous.
If there is one thing people can appreciate about this movie is that it gave us Wolverine? How? Well Dougray Scott was slated to play Wolverine but the shooting schedule went overtime, and he had to back out. And a little known actor came into and replaced him.
What? Wolverine in the comics is 5 ft fuck all, ugly as sin, & with an attitude like Dirty Harry. He's not some 6 ft 2 prettyboy gentle giant designed to put female arses in cinema seats.
vacion610 Yeah, but this one seems like it wanted to have them interact, but if it did, it’s doing it too late. If they never interacted that’d be one thing. But they are interacting, and its far too late for that an hour in.
@@cartoonnetworkdisneyxdsupe6864 Michael Mann's "Heat" (1995) had Al Pacino & Robert De Niro interacting for the first time at 1 hour & 28 minutes into the film.
WJZAV It’s a fantasy movie. No one who isn’t braindead thinks it’s historically accurate. It’s like pointing out how 300 was historically inaccurate. Everyone knows, and you’re not making yourself look smarter by pointing it out.
Mohd Amerul Aidil I thought M:I 3 had great action sequences! Sure, there was more shaky-cam than usual, but I remember feeling really pumped when watching it the first time, like in a Paul Greengrass movie. Plus, there are several action shots that I just think are pure awesome, like the helicopter getting struck down by the windmill blades, the Lamborghini exploding in the middle of St Peter's Basilica, or Tom Cruise's most authentic looking "leap of faith" yet!
Colored lightbulbs can have different effects on different organisms. For example, plants will not have any response to a light with a green wavelength (495-570nm and/or 526-606 THz) whereas most, if not all, wavelengths will cause the plant to react (photosynthesis, etc.) That is why scientists like colored light bulbs.
Come on NC, Mission Impossible 3 had the best villain ever in the late Philip Seymour Hoffman and The Last Samurai is actually pretty amazing i think you misunderstood its plot lol and it was actually about Tom Cruise's character learning the samurai culture which he was hired to destroy and during the process redeeming himself of his past actions.
Feno 3000 Uh, yeah. Face/Off was an Over-the-top John Woo movie starring two over-the-top actors with stupidly awesome action scenes plus a scene or two involving doves because it is a John Woo film.
Face Off is by far, and I mean BY FAR the best audio/visual experience ever created in history of mankind with absolutely nothing to compare to it whatsoever.
Zafra Zafra Of course. You got two of the most over the top actors of all time, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, being directed by one of the most over the top director and dove fetishist John Woo with a ridiculously awesome story with memorable lines and scenes. It's a classic of 1997.
In terms of box office, MI2 is still the highest-grossing of the franchise domestically. Rogue Nation profited the most outside of America, while Ghost Protocol is the biggest earner worldwide. MI3 has the lowest take in all three categories. Only time will tell where Fallout stands.
Indeed. Also, Cruise didn't teach the Japanese about their culture, he learned about it and was really nothing more than an observer for the events that occurred.
The MI movies are more popular than the show, for some reason it’s like the Star Trek of detective movies. Their movie franchise is based on a classic TV show franchise.
The first one was confusing though I wasn't bothered by Jim Phelps being the bad guy because I never saw the show but I can Understand people being upset. It's like if Captain Kirk was revealed to be a bad guy in the 2009 Star Trek. But did he say MI III was boring because I remember liking that one quite a bit though the next two installments were much better.
TheGamingFluttershyFan No, I’m pointing out that the Dianetics joke was the Scientology joke because that book serves as the foundation for what Scientology believes in. It’s like their bible.
You alos missed the puns against his Oprah Couch Jumping sequence (the first time everybody noticed scientology had driven him insane as he was SO giddy to "tell you about his new thing" ...) and the mention of "psychiatry is a fake science" which is also a Scientology thing (it's actually thought that L Ron Hubbard invented Dianetics because of his pathological hatred of psychiatrics as an "alternative" ... then he got to the idea with religion being a lucrative business and the rest is history) when "Tom's career" looked at the photos...
Terra1998 the 2nd one is better. I believe that they will do what Tamara did. They’re gonna go into it already wanting to hate it, and they won’t enjoy it. Also the movie is at an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and Doug already got enough hate for reviewing Deadpool 2 which is also sitting very highly on RT.
+Mr Bamason I mean yeah, most i depth reviews like that are pretty much like watching the movie. At least the parts the receiver wants to point out. Like, watch a CinemaSins and a CinemaWins review back-to-back. two completely different views of the same film lead to two completely different movies.
557deadpool says the guy who calls himself Deadpool on the internet. (Edit: also whatever 3d animated generic hot chick your profile picture is really speaks for your credibility.) That's beside the point. They are a channel that just points out the bad parts of a movie (and in jokes of the channel itself) wich is why CinemaWins is the opposite. CinemaSins make even a good movie look like shit while CinemaWins make some of the worst look good. Two sides, both entertaining, both no serious reviews that should be taken too seriously.
...just watch it! It's entertaining in a ridiculous over the top way. It's such a product of the time. John Woo said he wanted to make Mission Impossible like James Bond, so it's definitely an interesting watch. The stunt at the end where a knife literally comes a centimeter from Cruise's eye is worth the watch itself.
Filip Böhme 1. Coming from the guy who literally just uses his own name instead of an actual username. Also if you don't know who Cammy from SF is, then you have no right to bitch about someone's credibility, is what I would say if I was a fucking idiot. Also, WTF does my username and profile picture have to do with credibility? 2. CinemaSins nitpicks tf out if movies sometimes with legitimate points but most of the time are illegitimate or invalidated in the very movie they're talking about. That's not even counting the numerous times they've disingenuously edited parts of a movie just to make a point or ignore scenes entirely just to make a joke. But because of idiots like you, they never get called out on it unless it's by people who actually make videos on why CinemaSins is consistently full of shit. 3. While I agree with your point about CinemaWins, because at least they're actually honest in their videos and don't try to literally lie to people on a regular basis, anyone worth their salt wouldn't give CinemaSins the time of day. I highly recommend looking up bobvids' Everything Wrong with Everything Wrong with- series and Shaun's video called CinemaSins is wrong about everything (I believe he has other videos on the same subject but this one really highlights the issues with CinemaSins). I had already unsubbed from CinemaSins a long time ago and these videos basically validated my decision.
Doug, isn't Eyes Wide Shut your favourite Tom Cruise movie? I mean yeah, it was directed by Stanley Kubrick but Cruise was playing the main character so it wasn't just Kubrick who made that movie a masterpiece. Plus it showed Cruise going outside his usual action hero role.
I'm all for a Tom Cruise months and I nominate Interview with the Vampire! It's actually a pretty close book-to-movie adaptation but... Tom Cruise as Lestat is such a fun overkill
NazcarFanatic24 because people go to movies for reality and the plausible. KK 76 was terrible but I've always loved it. Still it was way more fucked if you consider the times they were made. Do 76!
I really loved The Last Samurai :O the music, characters, setting, story, etc. Sure, it'd have been fine if there'd been no white guy as the main character, but it was fine.
this felt like tom cruise´s attampt at making an american james bond, with him being the bond of course. over the top spy gadgets/tricks main character gets hot girl mission starts as saving the world, but boils down to saving the girl ect. ect.
Maverick is a good role, but way too cliched even for an 80s movie. "The Rebel Who Ruffles Feathers And Singlehandedly Saves Everyone By Thinking Outside The Box," while not done to death at that point, was still pretty familiar. Honestly, I think Cruise's best performance was Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee from "A Few Good Men." You could see the character growth in that movie, from a sleazy lawyer who doesn't really care about his clients and would rather plea bargain than outright lose to a defender who did everything he could to expose the true corruption of the military base so his clients wouldn't be branded as the scapegoats for the Code Red. Also, Kevin Bacon was one of the antagonists, and Jack Nicholson was the charismatic villain, which further supported the arc Cruise's characrer went through.
Despite the occasional Wooisms - I don’t get the online hate for this film. I liked it. I liked it was filmed in Australia (I’m Aussie). I’ll admit i liked it more then than I do now but it’s not horrible. I enjoy it more than the first one.
+Carl Wilson Um...you don’t get the hate of it being near-completely devoid of what Mission: Impossible was about? Plus, also what the first movie’s main character was about? That wasn’t even Ethan Hunt’s character from the first movie, so why was he even like this in this movie?
Nyah is played by Thandie Newton, not Zoe Saldana. Newton said in an interview that even her own mother gets confused between her and Saldana. In most cases, the accent is a giveaway, since Newton is British and Saldana is American.
11:41 Well, if that part bothers him for trying to make something mundane look awesome, he’s clearly never seen Death Note. 🍟 (that was the closest emoji to potato chips that I could find)
But the potato chip is a hilarious way of portraying a point in that scene. He is doing something ridiculously mundane for everyone to see, while downplaying the actual thing goin on. Is stupid, and fun, and a bit out of place, but it serves a purpose in the narrative. There was no point to that catching the scarf in slow mo thing.
I honestly liked Tom Cruise the most in Edge of Tomorrow. I thought he was really great at showing the scumminess, unpreparedness and most importantly tiredness his character had throughout the film. He didn’t feel like a badass for the majority of the film, only in very small moments where he FINALLY got things right.
13:33 "A deadly gas". I haven't even watched this film (except the CinemaWins video for it) and I know that Chimera is supposed to be a virus. Also known as "not a deadly gas" or something that under normal circumstances you should not have under you kitchen sink. When did this channel outcinemasinned Cinemasins?
Yeah; there are one or two points I agree with him about, but some of his nitpicks made no sense. For example: 21:01 On a cloudless day in Sydney? Yeah; sunglasses probably would be practical.
Nicolas Cage sunsets are a thing of beauty!

16:54 Ever watched Braveheart, where the hero and villain never interact with each other?
vacion610 Yeah, but this one seems like it wanted to have them interact, but if it did, it’s doing it too late. If they never interacted that’d be one thing. But they are interacting, and its far too late for that an hour in.
This is basically a love triangle where the 2 men didn't really interact.
@@cartoonnetworkdisneyxdsupe6864 Michael Mann's "Heat" (1995) had Al Pacino & Robert De Niro interacting for the first time at 1 hour & 28 minutes into the film.
@@gostavoadolfos2023 Like Arwen & Eowyn or Dizzy Flores & Carmen Ibanez, unless gender plays a role in this topic.
Just once I want the mission briefing to end like this...”your mission, should you choose to accept it”...nope I don’t accept it bye
Last Samurai was a good film.
Memphis Gadfly
It was a great film.
It was entertaining but historically it was....
See? Alucard knows what`s up.
WJZAV
Nobody gives a fuck.
WJZAV
It’s a fantasy movie. No one who isn’t braindead thinks it’s historically accurate. It’s like pointing out how 300 was historically inaccurate. Everyone knows, and you’re not making yourself look smarter by pointing it out.
MI2 is a messy ridiculous product of it’s time, but every other Mission Impossible movie is great.
It's the worst M:I movie by default, but it's still fun
MI2 is a guilty pleasure for me - fun, over the top, cool - ish. Very dramatic, plus good Zimmer music...
I will have to see MI3 again at some point for comparison. Only saw it once.
Mohd Amerul Aidil I thought M:I 3 had great action sequences! Sure, there was more shaky-cam than usual, but I remember feeling really pumped when watching it the first time, like in a Paul Greengrass movie. Plus, there are several action shots that I just think are pure awesome, like the helicopter getting struck down by the windmill blades, the Lamborghini exploding in the middle of St Peter's Basilica, or Tom Cruise's most authentic looking "leap of faith" yet!
they even get better and better
Still better than Die Another Day. Also, Mission: Impossible III is underrated.
Colored lightbulbs can have different effects on different organisms.
For example, plants will not have any response to a light with a green wavelength (495-570nm and/or 526-606 THz) whereas most, if not all, wavelengths will cause the plant to react (photosynthesis, etc.) That is why scientists like colored light bulbs.
You've been seeing the other light switch, haven't you? th-cam.com/video/08GV5BeYPjA/w-d-xo.html
But Dave Chappelle says that everything's better in slow motion no matter how mundane they are.
Counter to that argument; Justice League
Trans8010, Justice League isn't mundane. It's just a piece of crap.
The Max Payne film disproved that.
I would pay good money to have Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage in the same movie.
Cage is better than Cruise.
20:39 all the glasses in my house shattered.
18:53- Oh God! John Woo Really did do flaming doves!
22:05 thru 22:10 was a perfect ending. I've watched it 7 times in one sitting.
3:48 the other two trying not to laugh is hilarious 😆
Come on NC, Mission Impossible 3 had the best villain ever in the late Philip Seymour Hoffman and The Last Samurai is actually pretty amazing i think you misunderstood its plot lol and it was actually about Tom Cruise's character learning the samurai culture which he was hired to destroy and during the process redeeming himself of his past actions.
Muhammad Obaid Niazi
So it's Dances with Wolves with Japanese people
Jar of Mayo Yes, therefore, infinitely better.
Or the Revenant with Japanese people.
They should call it Mission super-easy, barely an inconvenience
I understood that reference!
that Nic Cage sunset haha AAuuUUuuUgGGgGGhhHhhHHHhH
"I'm about to go and star in a Transformers sequel..."
That has to hurt.
Dove was always the best Mission Impossible character. It sucks that he didn't return for the Mission Impossible 3.
More like Mission Impossible 2 THE EXTRME !!!!!
2 THE MAX!
So what exactly is wrong with The Last Samurai? That movie is great!
SSAAKEEEEEE!!! >_
It plays with history the same way Braveheart does.
Plenty of movies do. That doesn't make it bad.
The same way anything historical is when Hollywood gets their hands on it, you mean?
Seriously though, Last Samurai is fucking dope. Literally the only Cruise movie i like, if not for that i probably wouldn't respect him a single bit.
If you ever want to see the movie in a positive light, look at it as a sequal to Face/Off.
DJ Pirtu Yeah but like some sequels, it was disappointing and lacked the original actors. :P
There is anything positive in being compared to Face/Off?
Feno 3000 Uh, yeah. Face/Off was an Over-the-top John Woo movie starring two over-the-top actors with stupidly awesome action scenes plus a scene or two involving doves because it is a John Woo film.
Face Off is by far, and I mean BY FAR the best audio/visual experience ever created in history of mankind with absolutely nothing to compare to it whatsoever.
Zafra Zafra Of course. You got two of the most over the top actors of all time, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, being directed by one of the most over the top director and dove fetishist John Woo with a ridiculously awesome story with memorable lines and scenes. It's a classic of 1997.
In terms of box office, MI2 is still the highest-grossing of the franchise domestically. Rogue Nation profited the most outside of America, while Ghost Protocol is the biggest earner worldwide. MI3 has the lowest take in all three categories. Only time will tell where Fallout stands.
Fallout is one of the best action movies of all time and Ethan hunt is not slowing down
The Last samurai was amazing, easily one of the best of all time.
I died at the Nicolas Cage sunset! XD
I really do like the fact that they acknowledge his amazing acting roles at the end (but of course, we can't let Cruise hear that, LOL!)
I actualy liked this movie but this showed me the flaws of it and its good to see flaws in movies you like.
Samuel Jensen I totally agree even though the first film was a fun movie. This for me was a really good Kung Fu movie.
Sucks that the studio cut a lot of scenes that caused this film to have a few plot holes.
8:58 - House and Dr. Strange DO sound convincingly American though.
Like, seriously, what is it with people thinking they sound obviously fake?
Yeah; that part really weirded me out, "Wait, what? I thought House in particular quite famously sounded very convincingly American?"
"Tom Cruz-ified himself" - bloody amazing.... 😂😂😄😂
Adderz B Doug actually got that from Mind of Mencia. Irony.
Nic Cage as a sunset is my new favorite thing.
22:04 that made me laugh a lot xD jajajaja
I couldn’t stop laughing either. 🤣🤣
the last Samurai is great
They Live We See my thoughts exactly!!
From the set design, to the actors, to the soundtrack, that film is a real keeper. The Meiji Restoration period is a fascinating era.
Indeed. Also, Cruise didn't teach the Japanese about their culture, he learned about it and was really nothing more than an observer for the events that occurred.
catmani2 If anything, it was their culture and philosophy that helped him get through his alcoholism and PTSD
Agreed. Not sure why NC ripped on it, I loved the movie. It was about the Japanese teaching Tom the beauty of the samurai code of honor.
Oh. It's that Westworld actress. She's cool.
Interview with the Vampire is still his best performance in my opinion
Brandon Fox really? I liked it but he doesn't make a great vampire.
Imho it's Collateral and Vanilla Sky.
I thought he'd be awful but he was absolutely fantastic.
I'd go with Born on the 4th of July
My vote goes to Born On The Fourth Of July.
The Nick Cage sunset almost killed me! 🤣
The MI movies are more popular than the show, for some reason it’s like the Star Trek of detective movies. Their movie franchise is based on a classic TV show franchise.
The first one was confusing though I wasn't bothered by Jim Phelps being the bad guy because I never saw the show but I can Understand people being upset. It's like if Captain Kirk was revealed to be a bad guy in the 2009 Star Trek. But did he say MI III was boring because I remember liking that one quite a bit though the next two installments were much better.
MI 3 had the best opening in the series of all time!
+Jennifer Brigitte ...just not he best opening credits.
No Scientology jokes, critic?
I guess the Dianetics joke doesn’t count for you?
John Abbate I like this review....
TheGamingFluttershyFan No, I’m pointing out that the Dianetics joke was the Scientology joke because that book serves as the foundation for what Scientology believes in. It’s like their bible.
John Abbate Ah. I missed it then.
You alos missed the puns against his Oprah Couch Jumping sequence (the first time everybody noticed scientology had driven him insane as he was SO giddy to "tell you about his new thing" ...) and the mention of "psychiatry is a fake science" which is also a Scientology thing (it's actually thought that L Ron Hubbard invented Dianetics because of his pathological hatred of psychiatrics as an "alternative" ... then he got to the idea with religion being a lucrative business and the rest is history) when "Tom's career" looked at the photos...
16:36 hes looking at the puddle under the car through the mirror, not just under the car
But why is the mirror pointed directly down when it’s shown pointing straight behind?
ROB MUST SEE MAMAMIA 2 AND GIVE US HIS REACTION!
Terra1998 the 2nd one is better. I believe that they will do what Tamara did. They’re gonna go into it already wanting to hate it, and they won’t enjoy it.
Also the movie is at an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and Doug already got enough hate for reviewing Deadpool 2 which is also sitting very highly on RT.
I’m binge watching the mission impossible films, but I’m counting this as watching the second movie
+Mr Bamason I mean yeah, most i depth reviews like that are pretty much like watching the movie. At least the parts the receiver wants to point out.
Like, watch a CinemaSins and a CinemaWins review back-to-back. two completely different views of the same film lead to two completely different movies.
Filip Böhme sorry but CinemaSins is too cancerous
557deadpool says the guy who calls himself Deadpool on the internet. (Edit: also whatever 3d animated generic hot chick your profile picture is really speaks for your credibility.)
That's beside the point. They are a channel that just points out the bad parts of a movie (and in jokes of the channel itself) wich is why CinemaWins is the opposite.
CinemaSins make even a good movie look like shit while CinemaWins make some of the worst look good. Two sides, both entertaining, both no serious reviews that should be taken too seriously.
...just watch it! It's entertaining in a ridiculous over the top way. It's such a product of the time. John Woo said he wanted to make Mission Impossible like James Bond, so it's definitely an interesting watch. The stunt at the end where a knife literally comes a centimeter from Cruise's eye is worth the watch itself.
Filip Böhme 1. Coming from the guy who literally just uses his own name instead of an actual username. Also if you don't know who Cammy from SF is, then you have no right to bitch about someone's credibility, is what I would say if I was a fucking idiot. Also, WTF does my username and profile picture have to do with credibility?
2. CinemaSins nitpicks tf out if movies sometimes with legitimate points but most of the time are illegitimate or invalidated in the very movie they're talking about. That's not even counting the numerous times they've disingenuously edited parts of a movie just to make a point or ignore scenes entirely just to make a joke. But because of idiots like you, they never get called out on it unless it's by people who actually make videos on why CinemaSins is consistently full of shit.
3. While I agree with your point about CinemaWins, because at least they're actually honest in their videos and don't try to literally lie to people on a regular basis, anyone worth their salt wouldn't give CinemaSins the time of day.
I highly recommend looking up bobvids' Everything Wrong with Everything Wrong with- series and Shaun's video called CinemaSins is wrong about everything (I believe he has other videos on the same subject but this one really highlights the issues with CinemaSins). I had already unsubbed from CinemaSins a long time ago and these videos basically validated my decision.
Justice league pls
I actually like Mission Impossible 3.
This is weirdly enough my mom’s favorite mission impossible movie.
Doug, isn't Eyes Wide Shut your favourite Tom Cruise movie? I mean yeah, it was directed by Stanley Kubrick but Cruise was playing the main character so it wasn't just Kubrick who made that movie a masterpiece. Plus it showed Cruise going outside his usual action hero role.
yeah... like rainmain
I'm all for a Tom Cruise months and I nominate Interview with the Vampire! It's actually a pretty close book-to-movie adaptation but... Tom Cruise as Lestat is such a fun overkill
King Kong 1976 or Son of Godzilla next please
Night raptor I think Doug only reviews movies that were around his time.
I actually like KK 1976
For stuff like that you want Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews, he has already Reviews Son of Godzilla and reviewed many 76 King Kong Knockoffs.
Kong 76 isn’t that bad. Hell it tells a more plausible story than the original.
NazcarFanatic24 because people go to movies for reality and the plausible. KK 76 was terrible but I've always loved it. Still it was way more fucked if you consider the times they were made. Do 76!
I really loved The Last Samurai :O the music, characters, setting, story, etc.
Sure, it'd have been fine if there'd been no white guy as the main character, but it was fine.
this felt like tom cruise´s attampt at making an american james bond, with him being the bond of course.
over the top spy gadgets/tricks
main character gets hot girl
mission starts as saving the world, but boils down to saving the girl
ect. ect.
Can you please review 'Aliens In The Attic'? And yes, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. 😒
Tom Cruise best role was Last Samurai
ethan hatcher um Maverick?
Maverick is a good role, but way too cliched even for an 80s movie. "The Rebel Who Ruffles Feathers And Singlehandedly Saves Everyone By Thinking Outside The Box," while not done to death at that point, was still pretty familiar. Honestly, I think Cruise's best performance was Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee from "A Few Good Men." You could see the character growth in that movie, from a sleazy lawyer who doesn't really care about his clients and would rather plea bargain than outright lose to a defender who did everything he could to expose the true corruption of the military base so his clients wouldn't be branded as the scapegoats for the Code Red. Also, Kevin Bacon was one of the antagonists, and Jack Nicholson was the charismatic villain, which further supported the arc Cruise's characrer went through.
I think edge of tommorow was his best one.
But opinions are different I guess.
Edge of Tomorrow.
Minority Report, a dramatic role mixed with great action pieces.
Despite the occasional Wooisms - I don’t get the online hate for this film. I liked it. I liked it was filmed in Australia (I’m Aussie).
I’ll admit i liked it more then than I do now but it’s not horrible. I enjoy it more than the first one.
+Carl Wilson Um...you don’t get the hate of it being near-completely devoid of what Mission: Impossible was about? Plus, also what the first movie’s main character was about? That wasn’t even Ethan Hunt’s character from the first movie, so why was he even like this in this movie?
22:01 I WAS HOWLING 😆😆😆
Nyah is played by Thandie Newton, not Zoe Saldana. Newton said in an interview that even her own mother gets confused between her and Saldana. In most cases, the accent is a giveaway, since Newton is British and Saldana is American.
Still waiting on the Justice League movie review
11:41 Well, if that part bothers him for trying to make something mundane look awesome, he’s clearly never seen Death Note. 🍟
(that was the closest emoji to potato chips that I could find)
But the potato chip is a hilarious way of portraying a point in that scene. He is doing something ridiculously mundane for everyone to see, while downplaying the actual thing goin on. Is stupid, and fun, and a bit out of place, but it serves a purpose in the narrative. There was no point to that catching the scarf in slow mo thing.
Diego Valencia All right, fair enough.
He's got the laugh down for sure! The inflections of his voice too... =o)
I honestly liked Tom Cruise the most in Edge of Tomorrow. I thought he was really great at showing the scumminess, unpreparedness and most importantly tiredness his character had throughout the film. He didn’t feel like a badass for the majority of the film, only in very small moments where he FINALLY got things right.
Am I the only one who thought that Thandie Newton (Naya) was hot in this movie?
No, but she needs some meat on her bones, she's not looking healthy.
She was absolutely gorgeous. Truth be told, this is where I got the name for my daughter (Niya)
No, you're not the only one.
No, but she really served no purpose to the film.
Me too
This movie Is early 2000 epicness
The Last Samurai is one of Tom Cruise’s absolute best films it was not part of an “awkward phase”
Facts love that movie
20:36 one of the best moments in NC history
This is Terminator.
Some guy: No.
Back to the Future.
Some guy: No!
Bill & Ted.
Some guy: NO!
I can't get the title right. Mr. Peabody & Sherman.
13:33 "A deadly gas". I haven't even watched this film (except the CinemaWins video for it) and I know that Chimera is supposed to be a virus. Also known as "not a deadly gas" or something that under normal circumstances you should not have under you kitchen sink.
When did this channel outcinemasinned Cinemasins?
Yeah; there are one or two points I agree with him about, but some of his nitpicks made no sense.
For example: 21:01 On a cloudless day in Sydney? Yeah; sunglasses probably would be practical.
