Hi!
I know how it is to lose a dog, Im sorry to hear that Darky.
Im mildly interested in Dragged across Concrete.
My week:
I would’ve never thought I could take so much Tom Cruise in one week but these movies are like candy to me: Unhealthy but I enjoy them a lot.
Mission Impossible 3 (2006 DVD): I found that the story jumps too quick into the action and we don’t know the new characters enough to really care about what happens. The twist, half an hour in, was weak and predictable and I found the eye-rolling moments more annoying in this than MI:2. E.g.: When you drop a bottle in the streets of Shangai, the bottle will roll and start doing speed (aprox. 10km/h). You don’t need to conceal your face to rob the most dangerous toxic weapon. An everyday normal girl that never fired a gun can take two gun specialists in a row. Oh and I don’t mean to diss the dead but I never liked Seymour Hoffman and the only scene I enjoyed him in this was when he was sitting upside down with his head sticking out of a plane. I seem to be complaining a lot but I actually enjoyed this movie for what it was, I just wanted to point out the reasons why I think the second one is better. I loved the scenes in Rome. The parachute scene was fun and again, enough fights, gunfights and xplosions to keep me happy. My rating: 6.5/10
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011 Blu-ray): Bad news is; I actually missed Ving Rhames in this one! I think the guy is like a solid rock we can rely on since the last two films. Good news is; I always liked Jeremy Renner and I was happy to see him in top form. I loved his facial expressions. Also, seeing more of Pegg’s Benji was a real pleasure. That scene between Renner and Pegg about jumping down in the fan tunnel was great. Too bad it was followed by a ‘’Ur-anus’’ joke by Cruise. Overall, with a few adjustments, this one could’ve beat the first one but I have to go for a tie with: 7.5/10
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2016 DVD): I was so pumped to find the 4 guys together for a new mission but I thought that there was not enough of Luther (Rhames) and Brandt (Renner). There were many Benji-Hunt moments though. Maybe even too many. Another detail I enjoyed so far in this series were the female characters and again, Agent Faust was a well-acted, well-developed one in this entry. I also loved what they did with Baldwin’s character. Finally, the story was very interesting and kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next. My favorite one yet I must say. Oh and the car/bike chases were formidable, once more. 8/10
PS: Add some realistic blood and one or two sex scenes per film and this entire series would be of higher grade to me. Imagine James Bond without the sex or John Wick without the blood… Now you understand. Maybe.
