I can sympathize with Sarah with always having to watch my favorite character die. Benji is my favorite too. Lol, half the girls in my theater where yelling at the screen during any scene where Benji was in danger. Fantastic movie! Probably one of the best I've seen this year and definitely my favorite movie of the year. Go see it!
That scene where Benji goes into the cabin and Ilsa is trying her hardest to warn him with a gag in her mouth actually made whisper to myself, "Oh no, not Benji." I was legitimately scared he wasn't gonna make it out of that one.
Well, I mean...He wasn’t left out of Avengers 3. He was just waiting for the other half of Avengers 3. I dunno, do people still consider these two two parts?
Given the current climate, I don't think Hollywood is in a hurry to make a movie about Russian and American intelligence agents being all buddy buddy. And they're probably right.
"Cube Moon!" Yes!!! I'm ready for it. Let's start shooting right now. Plus, I'm still waiting for "Earth vs. Soup" starring Kevin Bacon. (MST3K reference)
After watching Rebecca Ferguson, Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill and Mr Cavill's Mustache (YES I believe the mustache was worth all that DC angst), it appears that there is whole separate group of supers not affected by any otherworldly villains.
34:26 The upper portion of the landing module had its own rocket and launched from the moon's surface. It met with the command module still in orbit, and that brought them back to Earth.
Archeopteryxman421 I'm more stuck on how it met with the command module, but this is all googlable- my mind just reels at all the moving parts that must have been involved.
The command module had a latching mechanism that had the landing module attached. It released the landing module when they got to the moon, Michael Collins stayed behind on it to orbit the moon for the duration of the mission, and latched the module back, when they were prepared to go home.
Archeopteryxman421 thanks for the explanation! I didn't realize they left a guy behind to steer, that makes way more sense then what i was picturing. Poor Michael Collins though, drove all the way to the moon and didn't get to walk on it - he better at least be in the movie!
The Alita eyes did really seem really toned down. But yeah, they're definitely going for an anime-girl look, since it is based on a classic manga from 1990-1995.
IIRC, Overlord is the film that was rumored to be Cloverfield 4 a few months back. I can't help but wonder if some hasty reverse edits were made after Cloverfield Paradox turned out so well...
Towards the end, when they're fighting on the mountain and the detonator is teetering there the movie had me hooked and I thought for a minute he was going to have to get that and diffuse it while falling to his death or something. It's also weird seeing Renner completely missing in action from both this and Avengers. I kinda figured Cavill wasn't going to be sticking around but after that fight scene in the bathroom I was really hoping he'd stick around because I loved his style compared to Hunt.
Regarding the eyes in Battle Angel Alita: Yes, they are both that large to represent an Anime design AND to be kind of freaky. It's supposed to be a thing about her not being human in a world of humans.
I feel sorry for Buzz Aldrin. Both him and Neil landed on the moon together at the same time and they were a team, yet it's Neil that got 5 times the glory.
The stunt work was excellent. Other than that I didn't think too much of this movie. I think it would have been better if every scenario didn't end on him surviving by pure luck. Like he drives through Paris on his motorcycle without issue and then he gets into accident at his extraction point, or his helicopter's engine has been hit but doesn't explode until after he takes down the other one, the wrecked helicopter with the detonator in it doesn't go off the cliff because it's wench hook gets caught on a rock, or his parachute gets caught up otherwise he would have crashed through a roof. Take a couple of those out because it stops being 'oh my god they made it out of that' suspense to 'oh my god come on' annoyed.
Really loved this one - best since MI3. It's also the first MI film where the events of the previous film carry over into the next with an unresolved villain arc. *SPOILER BELOW* I'm guessing MI7 will form a trilogy?
The Overlord trailer looked eerily similar to the opening of Wolfenstein: the New Order. Still can't believe it's not a Wolfenstein movie, it can't just be a koinkidonk. Two possible explanations: 1. The game is narrative-focused. Bethesda saw the script for Overlord and decided they don't want to mess up the reputation of their well-written narrative-heavy franchise. 2. Abrams' people didn't want to spend the money on acquiring the license for one of the least recognizable big franchises in gaming. Conclusion either way: It's gonna be a trainwreck :P
I'm guessing Overlord is so called because it was the name for the Allied invasion of Normandy (though the Allies really failed to take account of all the undead fighting for the Nazis IRL).
You're right , I forgot that. Still, that's a horrible title for a Sci-fi, alt history take on the war. Call me crazy but it would make sense that the Wolfie ddeal fell through very late and they had to find a new title quickly :)
BRAD! If you dig Henry Cavill, please see Immortals. While it's not a great film, he is STRAIGHT UP great in it. Like one of his best performances, people say Man of Steel was his breakout roll, nah, it was Immortals. Love your stuff btw!
Mission Impossible 2 is just, a train wreck. I fun train wreck, but a train wreck. I think it shows that John Woo was way more style over substance, coherence and logic.
There's a certain flourish to the way his characters tend to act that feels more appropriate for Hong Kong movies than Western ones. It's hard to explain, but it's like the expectations for how actors should portray their characters is different depending on country. Over-the-top acting seems to be a lot more common in Asian cinema compared to America, which seems to prefer more low-key, realistic portrayals.
People in general don't expect substance, coherence, or logic w/ John Woo films in the first place. He's always been renowned for his style. The real problem w/ MI2 is that the script is written to be slow. If it was more fast-paced like Face/Off, it would've gotten great reviews.
I saw this movie on July 28th in 3D (which i haven't done since Transformers 5 or thor ragnork) the cinema had barley no people in it and it was an action packed thrill ride I like villain.
"It's pretty predictable who's gonna be the villain in this!"
"Is this THE moustache?"
The moustache is the villain? It all make sense now!
since the moustache fucked justice league over pretty hard (about 50 million dollars hard) the moustache is a hero
Murcia doxial Well, I dunno. If we wanted Justice League to be good, I think it’s still the villain.
I can sympathize with Sarah with always having to watch my favorite character die. Benji is my favorite too. Lol, half the girls in my theater where yelling at the screen during any scene where Benji was in danger. Fantastic movie! Probably one of the best I've seen this year and definitely my favorite movie of the year. Go see it!
Best bit of the film: Benji finally got to actually wear a mask!
I felt so happy for him. :D
Tom Cruise... Tom Cruise never changes.
Punkster consistently amazing!
So how do we get Ron Perlman to say this?
All joking aside, Tom Cruise looks like he’s aged barely a goddamn _day_ since the 90s, so maybe he really *isn’t* changing.
That scene where Benji goes into the cabin and Ilsa is trying her hardest to warn him with a gag in her mouth actually made whisper to myself, "Oh no, not Benji." I was legitimately scared he wasn't gonna make it out of that one.
Jeremy Renner's character has been culled by Thanos.
minski76 nah he was off playing tag
Jeremy Reinner had some legal obligations with Marvel, so he passed on this one. would be ironic if we wont see him in next Avengers)
Jeremy Renner was literally too busy not being in Infinity War to be in this
Watch The Tudors on Netflix. Henry Cavill is legit great on that show.
First Avengers, now this. What's with Jeremy Renner being left out of his franchises?
Well, I mean...He wasn’t left out of Avengers 3. He was just waiting for the other half of Avengers 3. I dunno, do people still consider these two two parts?
there needs to be another Man from U.N.C.L.E
No.
Given the current climate, I don't think Hollywood is in a hurry to make a movie about Russian and American intelligence agents being all buddy buddy.
And they're probably right.
"Cube Moon!" Yes!!! I'm ready for it. Let's start shooting right now. Plus, I'm still waiting for "Earth vs. Soup" starring Kevin Bacon. (MST3K reference)
After watching Rebecca Ferguson, Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill and Mr Cavill's Mustache (YES I believe the mustache was worth all that DC angst), it appears that there is whole separate group of supers not affected by any otherworldly villains.
"was it a plot-driven mustache?" GIRL me too, I could not look at Henry seriously. He looked like a hipster dude, before they discovered fedoras
34:26 The upper portion of the landing module had its own rocket and launched from the moon's surface. It met with the command module still in orbit, and that brought them back to Earth.
Archeopteryxman421 yeah but HOW
The command module was also a rocket, which propelled it back to earth.

How do you feel about the first one? Its one of my favorite films and is still the best. Depalma rocked that shit.
Although I quite like Henry Cavill, it seems like playing a prick character works well for him.
Sarah's an Adventure Zone fan! Those McElroy boys sure know how to spin a good yarn
The mustache was symbolic.
The Alita eyes did really seem really toned down. But yeah, they're definitely going for an anime-girl look, since it is based on a classic manga from 1990-1995.

Hey Brad what's your favorite Tom Cruise movie? Mine is Collateral.
I still can't believe Jamie Foxx was nominated for an Oscar for his role, but Cruise wasn't. That definitely felt like academy award politics.
Off topic. But, which comic con trailer was your favorite?
Regarding the eyes in Battle Angel Alita: Yes, they are both that large to represent an Anime design AND to be kind of freaky. It's supposed to be a thing about her not being human in a world of humans.
Vanesa Kirby was a bombshell in this movie, holy hell.
**muffled "I'm never comming out" intensifies**
I feel sorry for Buzz Aldrin. Both him and Neil landed on the moon together at the same time and they were a team, yet it's Neil that got 5 times the glory.
When Sarah showed the TAZ book i said out loud "EYYYYY"
So this a prequel to Back To The Future???
Good ol Larry Israel, brandishing his stomach annoyer. And his archnemesis, the Grinner.
MI is one of those rare series that keeps one upping itself.
you should do a meg tie in with the unofficial jaws 5: cruel jaws with the snob
I just hope Rebecca's Ilsa character didn't die in the Venice bridge scene in the upcoming MI7/8 films
Movie Bob could learn with you about how to enjoy these movies...
The mustache was essential. The director is a big vaudeville fan with top hat moustache villians.
I own The Lone Ranger on DVD, and it is a really fun time. I enjoy it a lot, I kinda wish I had seen it in theaters, honestly.
The stunt work was excellent. Other than that I didn't think too much of this movie. I think it would have been better if every scenario didn't end on him surviving by pure luck. Like he drives through Paris on his motorcycle without issue and then he gets into accident at his extraction point, or his helicopter's engine has been hit but doesn't explode until after he takes down the other one, the wrecked helicopter with the detonator in it doesn't go off the cliff because it's wench hook gets caught on a rock, or his parachute gets caught up otherwise he would have crashed through a roof.

I'm guessing MI7 will form a trilogy?
I'm dying thinking about an exploding mustache.
Just watched your equalizer 2 review and now this one! Awesome!
Henry Cavill had an unshaveable mustache and Tom Cruise broke his ankle for this movie - so thank fuck it was great then
Roger Avary is still trying to make a Wolfenstein movie, has been for years.
HERE THERE BE GERBLINS!
Watched this movie today ,It was really good movie
Lookout behind you 10:02 shadow ghost attack stifled.
"They have to get plutonium".
Oh no, this isn't a sequel to Plutonium Baby, is it?
MI:2 was written by the guys who did Star Trek: First Contact,
Will Brad do all his own stunts in Snob II?
Overlord was the D-Day operation.
Sarah, I loved the "big block of man" comment. Thanks for the video! I'm really glad you enjoyed the movie!

I know it's all wild speculation btw. I'm just having fun :P but since it all makes sense, it's a fun theory :P
I heard a Transmet reference! We need a movie or an HBO/Netflix series, especially today!
I like all the Mission Impossible films. Haven't seen this one yet
Cube Moon sounds spectacular
BRAD! If you dig Henry Cavill, please see Immortals. While it's not a great film, he is STRAIGHT UP great in it. Like one of his best performances, people say Man of Steel was his breakout roll, nah, it was Immortals. Love your stuff btw!
Well, the glasses are back, but maybe it's too hot to wear a cap.
Brad, Spider-Man isn't in the Venom movie nor is it in the MCU. They officially confirmed it.
bigevilworldwide1 No it's not in the MCU. They released an official statement about it after Comic Con this year. Just stop.

if the venom does poorly at the box office then maybe they will add him in
If Venom does poorly at the box office there won't be a movie to put him in.

Mission Impossible 2 is a boring trainwreck, one that goes of the rails, but does so very slowly and unexcitingly.
dreamlandnightmare I'd say the first half is boring, but it picks up the ridiculousness the rest of the way.
So this was the movie Cavill grew a mustache for? Really? I mean, I enjoyed the hell out of the film, and even his performance in it, but come on.
Always a good one when Sarah shows up!
Good movie. Please review Blindspotting. It is an excellent film.
Transmetropolitan is great.
A fellow Adventure Zone fan!!
Spider Jerusalem!!
I saw this movie on July 28th in 3D (which i haven't done since Transformers 5 or thor ragnork) the cinema had barley no people in it and it was an action packed thrill ride I like villain.
I loved this movie.
Tom Cruise ran like Lord Xenu was in that helicopter!
Alita = Keane Eyes
This was an awesome movie.
Its Teen Titans ago. Can't be good.
It's kinda hard to follow what is happening in this movie.So many twists and references.. Don't know how I feel about it..
Watched this movie last night was so fucking long and annoying and was never ending I was not a happy camper
I'm gon see it most likely Tuesday. Is the young lady reviewing with you act in Ferris Bullers Day Off? The girl that offers Rooney a gummy bear? Lol
Xenu v Superman: Dawn of Nukes
They stole the extraction scene idea from Licence to Kill.
I never had any interest in the M:I franchise.
omg i hate his move so much
