FAR MORE entertaining than the new Bond


This movie has action, characters, some comedy, a spy plot, AND a tiny love story.
Bond had yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, AND yawn.

It's fun rewatching this to erase the memory of whatever the hell they tried creating with the stupid new Bond. Bleah! Just watch this again.

I agree. This was a pretty clever little movie I have to say. It depended on Diaz’s comedic reactions to the insane and incomprehensible things happening around her which she did very well. Also had some really funny and creative scenes like when Cruise was hanging upside down by his legs swinging in and out of view and promising - each time he came back into the camera - that he had everything under control. And the turn-about role reversal between Cruise and Diaz was a good twist as well. Good action scenes and a pretty cool cameo by a not yet famous Gal Gadot.

This movie reminded me of classics like Romancing The Stone and Undercover Blues, but bigger and more bombastic, sort of like Uncharted but as a James Bond flick (which makes sense why you would compare it to Bond).

Cameron and Cruise had great comedic chemistry together, too, and there were some inventive and fun action sequences, too. Almost makes me want to re-watch it again.

I enjoy rewatching it. Even though I remember all of it. It's got fun memorable stuff.

Latest Bond... man, I barely even remember the plot of that thing... no interest in ever sitting through that again. I'll rewatch the old, original Bonds over and over for the stunts and gadgets over this new drama-Bond

Everything is more entertaining than the ugly and dull face of Craig

Lol, no. First of all, the stars have no chemistry whatsoever.
