- Mission Impossible 6: Fallout is coming soon, so let's remember how awesome this first Mission Impossible was and still is. I promise I barely talk about Tom Cruise. ＜/sarcasm＞

I love that in one of the best spy films of all time, our hero never fires a gun. He points a gun, but never pulls the trigger. I know that changes in the sequels, but I think it's something that made Ethan unique in the first film whether audiences realized it or not.
I'd like to think that the purpose of this was to make M:I clearly differerent than the James Bond movies (especially the Brosnan ones), which were quite a hail of bullets.
I think it's also the case with Ghost Protocol. Pretty cool, yeah.
His figuring out the Job clue always impressed me. That always struck as me much more clever than anything in M: I 2.
great point
Just like how Harry Potter never cast a spell in the Sorcerer’s Stone.
I saw this movie in its entirety for the first time right after coming home from getting my wisdom teeth out. My mom walked in and saw me just staring at the TV with this horrified look on my face and she's like "What's wrong?" and I just whispered "...they're ripping their faces off..."
Alyssa Winchester i assume you were off your rocker on dentist drugs at the time and never trusted masks again
I was indeed high as shit. although this movie is now one of my favorites, so
Oh, boy. I can assume that must've been an experience :))
Just goes to show that you shouldn't do drugs unless absolutely necessary. With that in mind, I have to ask: what exactly does it feel like to be high? I imagine that it makes you feel good, but you're completely oblivious to the world around you....
I actually HATED it. So much. Like, I can't even tell you how much I hated being high. In the moment it was fine, I suppose, but I was kind of...numb. Floaty. Not alert. Not in control. Also on Vicodin (which was not the only thing I was on when I watched the movie; I also still had whatever they had me on for surgery in my system) I apparently have zero depth perception whatsoever. I don't know why that is, but it is. I mean, don't get me wrong, in the same situation, I'd still take everything I was given all over again, because it sure as hell was better than being in agonizing pain, but still, I was not a fan and would not recommend it unless absolutely necessary.
Fun fact: The scribbles in her notebook at 8:26 is shorthand writing - the kind used by journalists and secretaries. It would actually be a smart thing to use for blending in since, at a glance, you would think she was reviewing a meeting but likely wouldn't be able to quickly discern what it actually says.
I can imagine the pitch for this movie.
"Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to make a good film based on a classic TV show. The only problem is, it's completely impossible."
_cue music_
*If you choose to accept it
Egg Benedict ui
So, you have a franchise-starting movie for me?
Yes, sir, I do!
@@The_Blazelighter *should you choose to except it
@@TF2Fan101 ah, I bet it was super easy!
For real tho'... that scene where Ethan doesn't buy Jim's lies about the mole being Kittridge, not even for a moment... God, I love that scene.
Pretty sure the stuff on Claire's notepad is just shorthand. My grandma used to write in it. So did my tenth grade English teacher. I'm sure y'all know it's a shortened code for written English largely used by old timey secretaries (predominantly women based on what I've learned from older female relatives who were taught it in school in classes of mostly-girls) used for note taking and dictating when verbal lectures were coming too fast to write verbatim in normal long-hand English that then had to be retranslated back into written English.
Awesome. I learn something new every day!
+CinemaWins Happy to help! 😆👍
Yeah! In the book, Dracula, Mina Murray/Harker used it.
Good afternoon, CinemaWins. Given your excellent review of this masterpiece, a new objective has arisen that requires your expertise. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to review the rest of the current Mission Impossible movies. Your team will comprise yourself and whomever else you deem fit for this role. Good luck, CinemaWins. *This message will self-destruct in five seconds*
12 minutes passed, the message is still there. You liar.
Alex Trill Actually, it's about 38, now. Hang on. *bangs detonator on table and palm of hand* Maybe it's the batteries...
Need double a or triple a? Quadruple a?
Did you try turning it off and on again?
I swear, this is the last time I buy anything from RadioShack...
After watching your EGA Baby Driver and Scott Pilgrim - two of my favourite films, I'd love to see your opinions on the Cornetto Trilogy. You speak so well of Edgar Wright and it'd be cool to see you break down more films from my all-time number one director
Pleeeease do the Cornetto Trilogy
Those films are so dense that listing EVERYTHING great about them would take forever
Well he did finish the Cornetto Trilogy some time ago (like almost a year, part 2 of at Worlds end was 13.03.2021 so a year in 4 days), so 2 years after your comment in case you have stopped checking the new uploads. :)
such a brilliant movie with amazing twists, dialogue, acting, and the main soundtrack kills!!
love how the honored the original tv show!! def one of the best spy-action-thriller movies out there!!
and it started one of the most action-packed, intense, and badass spy movie franchises ever!!
so exicted for the rest of the Everything Great about Mission Impossible videos!!!
Hunter the original cast hated the twist of making the main character from the show the villain
Mission Impossible 2 is gonna have a lowish win count, but it will only go up from there
i get that.. if i was in their shoes, i'd hate it if a reboot ruined one of its amazing characters.
if if they didnt do this, ppl would complain their just copying the tv show, and all that... hate either way so
I was 6 years old when this movie came out. Needless to say i loved it. However i was too small to understand, and frankly, after re-watching it i didn't like it as much. But i have to say that most arguments from CinemaWins makes for this movie hold up... Hell my image of the movie improved. What more can one ask for?
I never realized how great DePalma was, thanks CinemaWins....where is Depalma btw?
This film is shot and acted so damn beautifully. Such a great start to the franchise. Man I love long takes and the use of first person shots. This is still my favorite followed by 3 and then Fallout.
Such a brilliant movie.
Watched it many many times as a child and still do. When the video game came out I couldn't stop playing it.
if you like Blue eye effects, you should definitely do the DUNE movie done by The Sci-Fi Channel
Tom Cruise is awesome! And the hanging scene in the CIA is one of the most memorable set-pieces ever.
“Your mission, should you choose to accept it...”
Honestly, one of the BEST lines from popcorn spy movies!
You guys are awesome!!! Keep up the awesome work!!!
Please do:
1) The Circle
2) Arrival
3) Murder on the Orient Express
4) The Princess Bride
5) The Huntsmen Winters War
6) Tropic THunder
7) Kung fu panda 3
8) Shrek 1,2,3,4
9) Mr and Mrs Smith
10) HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2!!!!!!!!!!!
The thing I like about the Mi series is how they feel like a cohesive series while each film feels unique to its creative team. MI1 is pure De Palma, MI2 reeks of millennium Australian cinema with all the hallmarks of John Woo and so on and so on.
I remember my first time watching this. Not knowing what Mission: Impossible was, not knowing who Tom Cruise was. And I end up loving the franchise. Even that questionable second one
I remember MY first time watching this--as a longtime fan of Mission: Impossible. I have not paid one dime to this franchise since, and I'm convinced that this film killed Greg Morris. I did not have a problem with them killing Jim Phelps and passing the torch, really. But turning him into a *traitor???* KMA, studio.
Oh man, I love that they did most of the scene silent. It first I thought I muted my video by accident because I was not used to it. No music or background sounds at all, just amazing
My only gripe.
Jim Phelps would NEVER go rogue.
Maybe, maybe he wasn't the REAL Jim Phelps.
Maybe The Real Jim Phelps was murdered by TRAITOR Jim.
@@cinemagraphic6324 omg I love that. Now I can be happy about the Jim is a traitor thing because in my opinion it is a great way to subtly tell that these movies are not the TV-series and at the same time be outraged because Jim would never do this. Thanks for solving my dilemma!
You should do everything great about Lord of the Rings
Hail Hydra I think the Academy already did that
no actual point, everything about that is already great.
and the hobbit
Do we really want Win Counter to break? Sin Counter broke when Jeremy was already very popular and could replace it easily. I don't think it is wise to risk the Win Counter breaking just yet.
What about lord of the flies 😂 rings are overrated
I love this series so much, and after the amazingness that was 5, I can't for 6
Pls do everything great about *MegaMind*
.
YES.
BestNickNameEver So underrated
Glaydson Coelho Yes!
Super Critic ikr
I watched the show as a kid, and loved it very much. Then this movie comes out, and I was 13 at that point.... seeing this movie blew my mind! It is not perfect, but it is so damned enjoyable and I actually like it more than the later movies (not saying I dislike them, I enjoy them too) because the tension never truly lets up, and you are constantly wondering who is going to stab him in the back next. You could see by the end that Ethan was starting to develop a bond with those helping him in the end, and I enjoy this movie even more now as an adult than I did at 13 years old. This movie has so many jaw dropping moments (like the Ethan dangling from the vent scene) and I love it so much for it. It was not a direct copy of the original show, but it was an amazing homage and the new ones have been too, but this one stuck way closer to what made the show great, and I feel that allowed them to basically go crazy in the new movies, and I am ok with that. Also, Tom doing his own stunts, gave me a whole new respect for him as an actor.
Everything great about jumanji
welcome to the jungle is next i think
Yes. th-cam.com/video/IB7BvgXIKOs/w-d-xo.html look at 0:53
Adam Kelly Or Jurassic Park. We might also both be wrong.
Adam Kelly Agreed.
I believe you're right. Looks like the warehouse from Jumanji
Yeah, looks like that's the warehouse and the canyon from the movie...
I second TokyoDrift456's movement for you to do a video on Speed Racer.
While it's certainly not a great movie, it's one I love.
I'm so glad you are doing this franchise I can't wait till you get to Three! When PSH reveals he knows Ethan's name cause Luther kept saying it. The explosion that sent Cruise sideways into a care instead of the traditional forward or backwards. Swinging from one building to the other! The personal stakes of the 3rd act. The rabbit's foot is a huge MacGuffin but still a great movie. Also, Ronin would be a nice one, twenty year anniversary this September... just saying.
So glad he mentioned the split diopter part! Really helps with the visual storytelling and unique cinematography
THE most rewatchable movie from the 90s!
Even though I knew the story, still didn't hindee me wathing it twice at the cinema, 12 times on VHS, 3 times on DVD and today on Netflix.
The casting and production are soo damn GOD 👌🏻
Another great video. So, I have a video request. I normally don't make requests because I know that channels like you have have plans for the next few weeks but I wanted to ask if you could do videos on the chronicles of Narnia trilogy? At least the first movie please.
CinemaWins: "... By the way, Im HowToBasic."
Uhmm, that screwed with me for a moment...
Vanessa Redgrave is always a win.
This film was a childhood fave, but having watched this, I definitely didn't know what was going on either (except the broad strokes). Really glad you did a video on this stellar film.
I was 8 years old when I first saw this movie and still learning English (my second language) so I didn't get everything that was going on but every time I watched it, I learned a little more. Such an entertaining movie. Best out of all 6 movies.
could you do Speed Racer?
TokyoDrift456 so underrated. top 10 films i love.
It just came out on Netflix I watched it and it wasn't as bad as I remembered
Please do Speed Racer. It was imperfect, but definitely underrated.
YES
John Goodman fighting Nonja's is always a win!!
The whole killing sequence in Prague always scared the shit out of me. It was so well done though, intense, acting was brilliant from cruise and the atmosphere was soo eerie.
My favorite Mission Impossible movie! I grew up watching the TV series of the ‘60s, at least the first three seasons, and this movie does a really good job of keeping you guessing. The deaths of most of the IMF team, in the first 30 minutes, was shocking!! LOVE this movie!!
15:07 - 15:29 man that is my absolute favorite thing to do. Picking a movie (When I was 13) I enjoyed when I was like, 5-7, and watching it, and realizing just how much I missed. Then going back now that I'm 21 and rewatching that same film and realizing that, even at 13, I didn't have a CLUE. I grew up with The Lord of the Rings, and the Matrix and there is nothing like going back and rewatching them and just...understanding EVERYTHING. Even Star Wars! A relatively simple movie to understand (At least not including the prequels, which I enjoy, fight me) and going back and rewatching as an Adult is mindblowing
I know I’ve said this a hundred times but it’d be great if you could do a video on Power Rangers (2017)! Especially since it’s the 25th anniversary this year.
Was that one ok-good?
Genuinely good.
Huh... Well colour me surprised.
The cast was generally really good, it was played seriously (mostly, hi Elizabeth Banks) and was a character movie first and foremost, think Breakfast Club but with Power Rangers as a backdrop.
Surprisingly good. A lot of people was disappointed because it focused more on character drama than actually power rangering though. But, imo, it make the movie better than it should be.
Ever get this weird feeling that when Jim killed his wife he said “consider that a divorce”
I don't know how many times i've rewatched your Mission Impossible videos. They're so good.
everytime I get sad (which happens quite frequently the last few months) I watch one of your videos. then I'm a bit better. Your positivity gets me everytime. Please don't ever change, you beautiful, good human, you.
Please do Everything Great About Mad Max: Fury Road!!!! Even Sins video felt like a Wins video, so I wonder to what new levels you could take it!
Next week Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Seeing as how you have mentioned Sneakers more than once on your channel, I’d love to see you win that film. I mean, c’mon! Redford, Kingsley, Poitier, McDonnell (one of her BEST roles), Aykroyd, Phoenix, AND Strathairn?
i've seen this film 3 times in my life, once when i was a kid and thus didn't understand what was going on, once when i was a teenager and couldn't understand what was going on because i watched it with people who 1) refused to put on subtitles and 2) kept talking throughout the movie and the dialogue was so quiet that i couldn't hear anything, and finally last night. i got to say, being able to understand what everyone is saying made the film really enjoyable. it is a good movie and a great spy film.
The vault scene was incredibly intense.
They all wear Scooby-Doo masks
I'm so happy you did this movie i always try to show my friends how great this movie is beyond just it being a good action movie, you point out all the things I try to do in a better and more fun way, thanks!!
I now know you are 7 years younger than me. When this movie came out, I was working at a movie theater. It came out the weekend of my Senior Prom, and they told us no one would be granted time off that weekend, because it was going to be a big rush of people. A bunch of us seniors said, "We need that weekend off, or we have to quit." They were not going to lose 18 year olds at the start of summer, so we got the weekend off.
If you want to do another Jean Reno movie, The Professional. One of my all time favorites.
Every thing great about the 13th warrior.
Dāvis Ozoliņš Such an underrated movie!!!!! One of my favorites
oooo yes. Love that movie. The pre-battle prayer scene still gives me chills.
That would be cool. And with that line of thought, Beowulf would be nice to see on here as well.
Had a strong feeling we'd be getting some of the MI series
more likely tropic thunder
Honestly, it had never really dawned on me how much I love this franchise until now. When you said about seeing this movie for the first time at 11/ 12 and not understanding it but loving it anyway, is totally the same for me. And as I watched every subsequent sequel throughout the years I just thought at the time "man this is a good film", but never really thought about the series as a whole until I watched this and thought... "Goddamn, I love every single one of these". In fact Cruise has been in almost all of my favourite movies, the man is gold to me, he absolute deserves his own win.
@12:50 I think there's an error. Jim's gun is hidden inside a Discman Boombox not a briefcase. Which would explain the choice since a concealed gun would not even be noticed inside 90's electronics equipment with so many mechanical metal trays for CD and Cassette player.
Do Everything Great About The Mummy (2017) please. It's not good and it's one of Cruises worse films but it has its wins. The best win of the film in my opinion is Russel Crowe as Jekyll and Hyde.
Anyone agree/disagree?
I really hope you do ghost protocol when you do i suspect
Simon pegg is always a win?
Cmon he's fought aliens zombies and robots who aren't robots
MI:1
Kittridge: I understand you're upset
Ethan: You've never seen me upset
'Action scene on top of high-speed train with tunnels'
MI:7
Kittridge: I can tell you're upset
Ethan: No I'm not
'Action scene on top of high-speed train with tunnels'
I can honestly name several movies where the actual plot went wayyyy the heck over my young head but are still some of my favs
Do Everything Great About Isle Of Dogs!
Please do Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Cinema Wins : 0
I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one that had no idea what was going on at first. My mom ran a small movie theater so I was lucky enough to see this in the theater many times, and I loved it, but I never understood what was going on with Jim, after he "died". It wasn't until years later I figured it out.
“Boom! Coach Bombay is dead!” I laughed way too loudly at that!
Do “Now you see me”
Both of those movies are guilty pleasures of mine. Yes, they are ridiculous. However, they're just good fun to watch.
Do Everything Great About John Carter please. It's really underrated, I loved it though.
Anyone agree/disagree?
bladersmosh totally agree. I rather enjoyed that film
It was actually an amazing movie. But it was so poorly marketed it never got the justice it deserved. I never even knew about the movie until I watched years later.
TheKnowledgeSeeker
Took the words right out of my mouth. If only Disney marketed the film better on the trailers and posters it could've potentially been a huge hit at the box office. Just say something like 'based on the classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs' or 'the story that inspired Star Wars and Avatar' or 'from the director of Finding Nemo and Wall-E'. If they did something like that, audiences would've been more interested in seeing it. Still wish Andrew Stanton's planned trilogy wasn't cancelled. I really wanted my Gods of Mars movie. It would've looked fantastic on screen as well as Warlord of Mars.
Anyone else agree?
It's not as bad as it's made out to be by critics, and has had something of a cult renaissance, but it's still not a particularly good film. It's just comfortably average.
never fear friend. I agree.
I'm 17,in the middle of enjoying the MI TV-series (cuz I love old stuff) and I watched this movie after enjoying at least half a season of MI. So I feel called out when you were talking about the 65+ers in the audience because that's exactly what my reaction was 😂😂😂
@11:53 That is an IBM Think Pad 701C, Lee my man. LGR did a video on it recently. Keep up the fantastic work, I love this channel!
everything great about Ronin (1998)
Please do Dunkirk!
That'd be a very very long video. And I'm totally OK with that!
May have been echoed elsewhere in the commentary, but 8:34 that's secretary shorthand and was established in the early 20th century, what's amazing is that it continued on (according to the movie) well into the 1990's - only 20 years ago!
The everything great about I've been waiting for good on ya. This is hands down my favorite action/spy franchise.
This is really random but can you guys do Aladdin next? Wins and Sins?
sins? blasphemy!
They're dead, they're all dead!
Your positivity is a very nice refreshing change of pace, and you dont act like every movie is flawless you just show how even some movies that people are harsh on have alot of great things
I love your videos! I'm glad there are people being optimistic about things instead of negative. I'm pretty sure next week is Jumanji and I can't wait to see it!
You should do speed racer
Andre Monster - Yes!
i'm gonna guess jumanj 2017
Yeah, me too...
And now I'm sure... th-cam.com/video/IB7BvgXIKOs/w-d-xo.html at 0:53
This might honestly be the cleverest movie of Cruise's career, so well done on so many levels. The known actors playing the IMF team members was genius misdirection, watching it for the first time you naturally assume that they'll be central to the entire film.
I'm loving your enthusiasm about this film! I was too young for violent movies when it came out, but you've sooo convinced me to watch it now. Great video.
Cloud Atlas!
Do the Guardians or Ga'Hoole plz.
It'll give you another chance to defend Zack Snyder
Kris Madas THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one who enjoyed that movie!
Noah Zinar I'd rather he do 300.
Oh Zacl did that?
You know what I love? When the Cinema Wins video is longer than the Cinema Sins video. It can only mean one thing: the movie IS great!
This is so incredible! I watched this movie in a constant basis when I was 12 and I loved it for the action and suspense, but I had no idea about all the little film details that I was missing out on!!! It has been almost 2 decades since I have seen this movie, but this makes me want to watch it again and drink in all of the beautiful 90’s movie magic!
Lovely shoutout to The Cranberries, too. :)
Please do LOTR and Children of Men!
Actually, magnetic screw dricers do exist. Not sure about angeled ones, though.
It would be heavenly if they did
I finally saw this movie a couple of hours of ago for the first time. Holy cow! My head is still hurting from that train scene.
The difference between Voight and Cruise is that Cruise looks fucking amazing while Voight looked like an old guy in decent shape.
*CinemaWins > CinemaSins*
This isn't even worth mentioning, of course that's the case, Sins is lazy intelectually dishonest trash
Agreed but tbh cinema sins isn't that comparable. It's purely for comedy and is exaggerated to a ridiculous level on purpose. This is comedic but actually provides quality analysis of the film which is not what you look for if you're watching cinema sins
Hey, if you enjoy Sins *ONLY* for comedic purposes more power to you, even though personally I don't really see the humor in a guy not getting movies, at least not the way he's doing it.
Also, it's not "on purpose" for comedic purposes, that has been debunked every time you hear his actual reviews which are just as wrong... It's just laziness and incompetence.
Further delve into it with this for example: th-cam.com/video/vRSArNN6wJE/w-d-xo.html
I just watched that video and yeah, it's totally accurate. I'm not someone who watches every cinema sins video and looks to them for legitimate criticism. I just find their single minded, rushed, overly literal and often incorrect approach amusing lol.
Hey, like I said, I won't stop you from enjoying it and more power to you if it makes you laugh.
However, as a cinephile I do feel like I have to discredit them whenever possible, they are as much a source of valid cinematic criticism as Buzzfeed is a source of valid social commentary.
Could you please do Sweeny Todd it's my favourite movie musical after greatest showman thank you
Yep, love Tom Cruise and his movies.
About M:I my favorite still is M:I 2, to these day I still watch it from time to time. In fact along with the Matrix and Lord of the Rings extended edition (and more recently Edge of Tomorrow) it's a movie I'll watch at least a couple times per year.
Can't wait to see you go through the series, especially GHOST PROTOCOL and ROGUE NATION!
Oh dear cinemawins could you please do speedracer
I was hoping you would bring up my theory about this movie: Kittridge knew all along that Ethan was not responsible. Why els being him to a public restaurant, give him all the info he would need to track down the actual person responsible, and have the same IMF team at the restaurant. He was giving him the clues to follow.
The complaint I hear about that theory is "Why then did he arrest Ethan's parents?" Easy answer: he had to give Ethan an excuse to reach out to him.
Think about it: Kittrdige does not seem surprised at all that Phelps is still alive.
Eric Bouchard I've also always felt that way about the first film. The N64 game loosely follows the plot of this film for missions 2-4. A key change was them admitting that they knew Ethan wasn't the mole, but they disavowed him anyway as a way to draw out the real mole.
Of course, considering how long the game was in development hell, I would not be surprised if Atari was basing the game on an early version of the script.
As for the "Phelps is the mole" reveal, that could have been such a simple fix: full reboot, Tom Cruise is Jim Phelps. Hell, the moment Peter Graves refused to do the film should have been the moment that the producers said "Yeah, this Phelps as the mole thing isn't going to work. Let's just say Tom's character is a young Jim Phelps."
i saw it opening weekend.i was so stoked i walked out of the theater loudly humming the theme for hours
I absolutely loved watching all these movies even at 11 years old as well. Definitely have to do a marathon soon!
PLEASE OH PLESE DO SPEED RACER
Please Cinemawins....bring The Last Jedi the justice that it deserves!
Just why?, that is your opinion.
It does not deserve it. Good guys get away with way too much stuff at every step of the way and that's B.S. But this is IMO.
Endix Here are a few predictions on what he will most likely win (non-exhaustive, feel free to add more if you like):
The Porgs are a wife win. *Ding!*
Mark Hamill's beautiful beard win. *Ding!*
Adam Driver's workout routine. *Ding!*
Bad ass good/bad guy/girl. *Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!*
A possible win counter glitch when Luke steps out of the Rebel base on Crait. *Ding! x27*
And of course... Paige, Holdo and Luke's self-sacrifices. *Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!* (Rose is still alive, so does that count as one?)
Quinn-G Benicio del Toro is always a win!
It's not a bad film in general. Not amazing, but is decent enough for a generic Sci-Fi film. Though still has plenty of flaws. Holdo being a freaking MORON for no damn reason; the trip to planet Casino, while doing well to set up and play up some of the thematic elements the story was going for, narratively feels massively out of place; The time scale is just all kinds of fucked up, between travel time to Luke's planet, and the time Rei spent there first trying to get him to train her, then being trained, she was there for several days at least and that is pushing it, yet this all went on in the exact same time as the chase, which was not made to feel like it had been going on that long; the physics are just shit, even for Star Wars.
But It's a freaking horrible Star Wars movie that goes out of it's way to slam the audience's face in a reset button trying to get thing back to EXACTLY where things were at the start of the OT, making all the victories and struggle of the original heroes pointless. It carries the heavy feeling that they are trying to get a fresh start, but don't have the balls to admit they do and just do a full reboot.
Even compared to TFA, playing up Snook that much, and then just tossing him away without explanation of who the fuck he was, making this big deal about Anakin's original lightsaber choosing Rei, only to destroy it, and while I do actually like her not being from some 'special' family, but simply naturally talented on her own merits, her having some bigger past was played up and hinted at too much in TFA to not feel cheap to have all that now meaningless.
And there are parts I liked and were well done. I kind of loved Snook's whole ripping apart Kylo's Darth Vadar wannabe shtick, and it spurred some great growth in the character. The Crystal Foxes were just so damn gorgeous, and as much as it makes no damn sense, the hyperspace ship cut was awesome. But on the balance... I left the movie feeling.... bleh, and unsatisfied.
De palma is one of best directors ....from his shots in this movie and Carlitos way...he's brilliant.....and Tom is the man 🙌🙌🙏
It's thanks to films like this that we got the original Bourne films and for that I'll forever be thankful. I definitely love Mission Impossible!
Can I just say? As a fellow Tom Cruise fan, thank you for bestowing him with "always a win" status. I feel like, in my particular friend group at least, he gets a lot of hate. It's great to see him receive such a prestigious accolade! :) Mission Impossible is such an amazing movie, and you're right, he absolutely deserves it here.
Sounds like you've got friends with bad taste 😂 Cruise, even outside of his stunting and action prowess, is one of the greatest actors in our age
Everything great about Spawn!
?!?!
Yes! Ronin! One of those movies that EVERY time I run across it on cable I stop and watch.
@11:57: That's the IBM Thinkpad 701c, which was only sold in 1995. LGR did a video about it recently. You'll love how the keyboard fits under the lid when it's closed.
