talk about the action as after the escape from jail that is 90% of this movie. We get that classic hip firing every gun, and the bandanna on the head. Now that I say this, I realize this movie is probably what made it the classic that it is.
You also have an abundance of different guns. I think in Borderlands 1, they touted over a billion different guns. I think at this point it has to be way more than that since there is a randomly generated attributes for each gun. This does mean that the guns that you enjoy do not scale with you
Which is surprising since I thought it was being oversold. However, whether you are watching this as a member of the past, a member of the audience, or being told this epic by your grandmother, this story will suck you In.
Esmeralda is so obnoxious, irresponsible, and manipulative, and in an age where the rest of the characters are relatively woke, no one recognizes being gaslit to the uptenth degree. I cannot stand her to the point that I fast forward EVERY seen she was in.
I understand and could agree with IMDB giving this a 6.7. It isn't great. There is a lot of weird blood splatter, impossible shots/fighting, and other things that just make you shake your head. It isn't great.
The acting is all over the place. Neither good nor bad throughout. Just there. I am struggling to find a series of thoughts that makes this worth the watch. I just feel that it just spins up what could be so good, but does the bare minimum to pull a story together.
As that is one of my favorite books, this movie was such a risk and I had such a high standard. This hit it and blew past it. The changes to the movie are honestly so minimal that you don't miss anything of value. There is one joke from the book that was taken out that was my favorite
I think one of the best parts of this movie for me is one of the ending scenes where there is a conversation with a couple of the characters. They are talking about how this even happened and the conversation presents the idea that they are all in part responsible.
Not a lot of language, which is funny speaking that this is the movie where cap acts like my dad and says "Language" which is the best joke in the movie. No sex. Violence is against robots which some exceptions at the end.
This is where Chris Pratt came onto the map and honestly in such a good way. I know that people will say Parks and Rec, but they are wrong. His comedy might have brought him to the table, but this performance put him on the map.
I am about 10 days removed from this movie and I couldn't tell you what stands out other than the section of the story with Benedict Wong. He is probably one of the better players in this movie. Him and Josh Brolin. I could take or leave everyone else, especially the clown/witch lady.
The action is also outstanding. The scene where The Winter Soldier catches the shield is crazy. When I first watched in theaters, I remember the audible gasp and just being "Oh shit." Between that and the scenes of attempting to stop the Helicarriers is just very well done.

As a note, I am intentionally not saying anything about the story outside of this as that is what makes this so wild. The ups and downs and whatnot is crazy. Also, one of the other hosts of the Epic Screen Time Podcast hasn't watch it yet.
Movies
Honestly the acting is outstanding. Stanley Tucci's dad role is so funny. The joke about the kid NOT being adopted is outstanding. I have seen this movie a few times and laugh every time. It just hit me right in the funny bone.
Movies
The story is excellent. I really like to think that everyone that has a hand held camera is in the same class their lives just happen to interact outside of class. You have some really serious elements, from the perspective of human trafficking, brotherhood, and drugs.
Movies
I can't tell if this movie is just as good for different reasons or not as good because it isn't the same as The Accountant. There are some huge departures from the original, but it makes up for it in other ways. Howe
Mission Impossible
As the series has moved forward, it moved forward in the best direction. The average, IMDB score is 7.2 for the whole series, with the worst two being 7.2 for the first one and 6.8 for the second. From there is a 7.4 and above. This series has done something for me that I feel like a lot of...
Movies
I hope that Tom Cruise as Ethan is done, at least as the primary character. At this point I am cool with them rebooting it or doing a new generation. If they were to reboot, I am not sure who would replace them that would be able to insist on the realism that we have gotten for the last 10 years
TV
To be honest, I am not sure how to write this/talk about this. The case is going to be retried, it isn't over. So the "Truth" isn't really out there. What I will say is that Karen isn't the type of person who makes sympathetic juries.
Movies
The pacing is my biggest issues. High highs and super low lows. It is just really hard shifts that take you away from what is going on. I understand what they were trying to do with showing how the lives of these people are, but the transitions feel choppy and hard.
Movies
To me, this movie to be more about the music and because of how it is presented. The music makes you want to listen to the blues and just feel the rhythm in your body as it plays out. To "Stomp yo feet". They way they show the magic and evolution of music is almost worth the watch by itself.
Movies
The story for this is my favorite in the series. What I think that this movie does better than most if not all of the others is the weaving pattern within the individual movie. This turn and that. Move and counter move. It feels organic and impulsive to the characters
Video Game
The second best one is the main story line. You have Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean voice acting two of the major roles. If heard/read an interview of Patrick Stewart talking about the back history he got on the Emperor and how much he loved it. His performance is so good
Movies
As this is one of the last movies in the Tom Cruise is Ethan Hunt Mission Impossible world, they did not hold back. There is a great cast of people and they play very well together.
