MI:2 was fine but not good. I think at the time I probably would have rated it at 3 or so. I haven't seen it recently so I can't remember if it was as bad as everyones makes out or not.
Everyone seems to have enjoyed MI:Fallout but I found it rather boring. It was more of the same where everything just went on and on and on and on (especially act 3). They could have done with at least about half hour less. Also, they brought some characters in from the past but for no reason whatsoever. The stunts were ok but there was nothing to get hold of in the movie.
Yes, corrected Yellow Sky to 1948 (fat finger syndrome). ;-)
My ratings of what you watched:
Mission Impossible 3 3 (didn't like story, middle or end. Only some interesting scenes in it)
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol 8.5
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation 8.5
This week:
MI:Fallout (4/10)
Slightly better than MI:3 but not much. It was too long, repetitive, useless cameos, no tension, nothing grabbed my attention. Should I go on? No, I won't.
Southwest Passage (5/10)
The usual B western from 1954. It was fine for what it was meant to be. If you a western fan then watch out of curiosity only. At least, it was in colour.
Yellow Sky 1948 (8/10)
A really good b/w western. A good story with good cast. I would recommend it if you like westerns.
BB has character development to the full and it give various characters (even minor ones) some development. This was one to the things I loved about it. It wasn't just about the two main characters or similar to a procedural drama.
Coming back to Sopranos, never had time on initial run and even now I have limited time for TV. I watch only the things I like (e.g. BCS). For example, I watched the first season of Ozarks (Netflix) but the 2nd season didn't get grab me. So rather than keep going until end, I just stopped. Hopefully, I will put aside some time for the Sopranos.
Wow. 10+ times for Man Men! I have never watched that show. Also, never watched Sopranos and I love gangster drama so much. Well everyone is different, so perhaps BB is not for you.
But if Ned wasn't snapped then he would now be in college. Also, the pupils 5 years junion to Peter Parker would be in his class.
From the trailer for SP:FFH, there doesn't seem to be much explanation but I hope they do spend some time on in the movie.
For me at least, X-Men, FF don't hold as much interest. Having said that, I didn't know much about Iron Man before it and never liked Thor is comics/cartoon so who knows they may yet get me excited again.
Exactly. For example, Falcon taking over as CA is just not the same. I will not be going out to watch another CA movie with Falcon as CA - it just doesn't gel with me. Same if we get another IM.
The other thing is the calible of actors and their charms got us to this point. Such as Downey Jr and Chris Evans. They will need to find some good actors to replace these and so far to me not the case.
MCU will continue making money but will not be as big or interesting. Remember, how we felt when Tony Stark found Nick Fury in his home or seeing Thor's hammer for the first time! Those days will never come now.
The interesting bit is that now there would new pupils in Peter Parker's class. Perhaps, even new teachers for some subject. Also, what about the state of the school itself and there were issues with running the country for 5 years. So many questions, nicely glossed over by Endgame (I am not complaining as I enjoyed Endgame very much).
He should have died. Also, that stupid witch woman. Neither of those characters are interesting enough.
Agree about that. I expected some (or atleast one) to die. But, I am sure all the extras in the red tunic definitely died even though didn't show that to us.
I thought Thanos was real cool dude. Remained convinced of his vision to the end. He wasn't the one to take over the world (in this case Universe). He saw a problem and wanted to solve it in his own way. My favourite villain.
Actually, that is a good question. In all the mayhem, I can't remember how the Avengers get Tesarect and it that where one of the stone was? What was the point of Loki being there anyway?
Well said Jason. At the end of the day, the movie is going to make almost 3b FFS.
IMHO the drop is reasonable since it opened to the HUGE 357m. The 357m was made up extra shows as previews and during the 1st week. If there were no extra shows then the drops would have been gradual with the initial taking of in the region of 275-300m. Also, this movie was always going to be front loaded.
Hahahahaha. There are lot of questions like that which will be swept under the carpet my friend.
Hopefully, Spiderma-Far from home will give us some idea of what happens. There is one scene where Peter Parker goes to school and hugs his friend like they haven't seen each other for years. Shouldn't his friend be in college and 5 years older, assuming he wasn't dusted?
Yes is the answer IMHO. I think that's why all the dusted avengers were late to the fight because some had come different planets.
I guess Spiderman-Far from home will answer some questions.
I agree.
I am not sure what method other than time-travel could they have used to restore the 'past'! This movie could have been Infinity War in reverse if they didn't go for time-travel. In that this time, they go to different places where Thanos had hidden the stones (which means to keep him alive), collect them, Thanos escapes and then have a fight with Thanos again then SNAP and restore. A rerun of IW.
Good point. Nothing happened until Ant-Man came back.
Well said. I feel the same (possibly worse) about these Snyder movies. Total mishandling of the subject matter.
Superman/Batman are my favourite of all comic characters and look what happened to them.
Wow. I saw this just yesterday. My reaction is opposite. It was a great movie and I didn't even feel its lenght. In fact, at the end, my thought was oh, it's ovar and 3 hours had gone by just like that. In fact, I could do with a longer version of the movie myself.
What else could a movie with so many characters do differently when it has to tie up lose ends? I thought it was just right. Infinity War and Endgame - totally different movies. Loved them both.
