There are obviously some differences, enhancements, and creative licenses, but that doesn’t mean that the sentiment isn’t what it should be. The story is very well told with the callbacks to early sections being paced well without forcing them down. This also gives something to anchor the actors to
This book was fun and an easy read. The action is well told, which is what I want from these books, but there seems to be a sprint through in the book. There are some good actions points and intelligence actions, but the side plots do not link up to the main story like the other books typically do.
Once you get your gadgets and weapons, that is when this really opens up. The weapon fights are my favorite. You can't take 1000 rounds and be ok, nor does the enemy. You have one shot headshots, unless they are wearing a helmet and then when you knock it off, it is back to one shot headshots.
When this movie first came out, I would have put money that it was based on a true story. It is, in the loosest part of they took a single incident - Allies stealing a U-boat, and the enigma inside. It wasn't done by Americans either. Not only that, but it was done by the Brits
The story is very cute. I found it to be very funny in a way that I didn't expect. I really appreciate the frustration of the old crew with the new generation, the new generations frustration with the others. There is also such a great weaving of people playing roles in the background
I am amazed at her ability back then and I see the foundation of all the work I see now. Anne does a fantastic job as well. She plays a character who keeps being pushed and pushed and you feel like she can see that in her real life. However, my favorite person is Stanley Tucci.
I think the acting by Inde Navarrette is the best thing about this movie. There are a couple scenes where her facial expressions and emotions flip on a dime, and she does it so well. It was incredible to watch. Her performance alone is worth the watch.
The acting is superb. Jeffrey Wright is easily one of my favorite people in this show. Michael Fassbender and his accents are so good. He very much feels like the secret agent and spy that he is. I do appreciate the shrink calling out Naomi for some of her annoying traits, and then there is Gremlin
I don't care how much you play it up, at no time are you going to trust a dude you spent days fighting and KILLED one of your teammates. I'm sorry, "Family." I almost forgot about the Paul Walker replacement. He was brought in way too early and is not his own person. He is stupid.
The story of the court-martial is absolutely infuriating. The amount of CYA that took place at the upper echelons of the Navy, to be forced on the next generations of Naval Leadership is even more crazy. I do not understand how someone who has no skin in the game can't make another decision
For John and Wendell, I think they are challenged by the script more than their ability, because it feels phoned in. Not quite "I am here for the money," but they are sure there for one last ride and aren't going to put their all into it.
One of the better things about this playthrough was the mod. With having the Fallout 3 story be a part of my character, you had these other lines where you could say different things, and it might give you different options. For instance, I think you basically have to join the Brotherhood of Steel
