As you can tell from the synopsis, this movie is a complete farce. Not that it was supposed to be anything else, but this just pushes it over the top. The FBI pulling someone from the IRA to help them find an assassin just because he has seen him is just crazy.

This is the first movie that we get Ilsa Foust. This is such a great balance to Ethan. Better than any of the other women that we have had. The caveat to that is his wife, who was a counter point to him. Brought him peace. Ilsa is Ethan, a spy with dedication and a conscience.

I am not sure that Rachel’s character makes a ton of sense. She also shouldn’t have been so naive about the ramifications of what she was doing honestly. I think for someone so smart and not completely socially inept, she just constantly misses the mark throughout the movie.

Mom has a conditional approval of having watched the first two. While I think she wouldn't object, I think what would make her approve requires her to know Tony's growth. So that means she would have to watch Iron Man and Iron Man 2, maybe even The Avengers. That is a hard ask.

The action, the setting, and the story are so good. It also is probably one of the better tie-end and continuation of a movie directly after that isn't a true part 2. Let's start with the action. The fighting makes sense. There isn't anything that feels out of place

After we all went to the theaters to watch the new James Gunn Superman movie, we had some thoughts. If you are Carter, they are good thoughts, if they are me, they are meh. We have a frustrating conversation about whether or not James Gunn was right for the job.

We are back on track with a good spy thriller. There is conflict, surprise, and really good action. The most memorable scene is where Ethan is escorting a prisoner over a long bridge and it is attacked. While some of the actions for sure are there to be over the top, but make it entertaining.

I really don't like the acting. Tom is fine, Laurence Fishburne is fine, and then it goes downhill with Thandiwe Newton, the love interest, and Dougray Scott. The whole love interest side plot honestly was harder to fathom than the creation of the world most deadly flu in order to create a cure

Lastly, the story. What made for mystery in the first movie, just becomes plot holes in the second. Honestly, the whole story is more about pride, arrogance, and deceit than it is about immortals trying to survive. There are a couple new introductions to new immortals which is a cool idea, but...

To me, this movie was something that should have blown up in 2020, but I think was just surrounded by people releasing what they had since they couldn't film. It is full of everything you want. What I think hurts it the most is some of the dialogue, specifically from the Wish version of Dudley,

I think the acting is very 90s. I know it came out then, but it doesn't hold up. Ving, Tom, and Jon are really good. The rest... not so much. Honestly, I think Jean is just overly predictable in his role, but we might want to blame the writers on that.

I have really enjoyed the MCU and this is where it started. Before I left for the Marines, I used to fall asleep to the special edition version of Iron Man and for me, it is still a feel good movie. This is a worthwhile series at this point where you will enjoy it and not feel lost.
