The parkour the changes from Assassin's Creed III, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag, and Assassin's Creed Rogue, which are all really based off the same system to unity is night and day different. You can move up and down with much more fluidity than you ever did
Alec Baldwin is an "ok" Jack Ryan. For sure not my favorite, but there could have been worse choices. I think for the time and how the character is written in the book, he does make a better choice for the studious and almost nerdy version we have from the book.
There are some stellar action and acting here. There is also some terrible acting. I am honestly really surprised by the limited amount of people who can say they enjoyed the movie, because people love high octane movies and this is one of them. At the same time, I can see the argument for it...
The story makes some weird decision. We have magic tricks that bring dead characters to life. There is people who have no business being part of a criminal/non-criminal spy group helping them with full knowledge of what is going on. There are also, so story beats that try and keep Paul W's character
This is at the end of season 3, and I have struggled to enjoy this show. For this season, episode 6 was so boring I stopped caring about the entire show. I wasn't interested in the last 2 episodes so I just waited for them to come out. Speaking to my friends, they have constantly been behind.
I think that this is basically just the Mandalorian season 2.5 there’s half the season is really dealing more with Mando and all the things that he’s doing with the dark saver and with Grogu versus actually being about Boba Fett, which as a Mandalorian fan is not a big deal but as a Boba Fett fan
when you have 20+ stories talking about this with only 10 minutes of each story being about the event, it just feels like noise. You add in the fact that there is zero presentation of the group, the why, or even what they did. So I don't have context as to why all of this matters.
I VIVIDLY remember this mission because it was one of the parts of the story that really brought home a piece of obscure knowledge I had to this plot point that was obviously made up, but was a cool point. That plot point leads you to this escape mission running through Lisbon and just moving.
I think we have entered the era of these books hitting their formula. While the book is entertaining, and I have no real issues with the book, I found that some relationships made no sense and others made perfect sense. The story does make it sound like the FBI and the Secret Service are useless
I think the sitcom trope is one of my favorite things about this show. I grew up watching Nick at Night with my Mom and Dad as I was growing up. At the time it would show "I Love Lucy" which is really where this starts. It plays through so much that really feel that she is part of those shows.
One of the things that really struck my wife as harrowing and concerning is this arc in the middle. There is a section of the movie where Grogu has to be on his own. This was easily one of the most grounding parts of the movie. It was incredibly well done, and I can understand weight of it.
Can we talk about the action in this movie? The idea of things coming from the Grid to the real world, I’m on board for. However, I don’t know if I can get on board with a flying square and light beams that are both able to cut a car in half and have bounce to them. How do the physics work?
