mannn I just love Mission Impossible movies, always have and always will should they ever make another

unnecessary flashbacks in the first act kinda get the movie off to a rocky start, but once it kicks in it’s full throttle all the way. I enjoyed them just as a celebration of the franchise, but it drags down the pacing a little at first. otherwise this has the grandiose epic feel of Fallout that i found missing from Dead Reckoning. but you have to reaaaaallly give in to the Entity stuff, if you weren't onboard already i doubt this will sway you

the subtle IMAX ratio fill during the cranking of the Sevastopol wheel will go down as one of the greats... that was fucking awesome

Saw during the 25th anniversary roadshow with Kevin Smith, hadn’t seen it in probably over a decade. Super fun to watch with a crowd, also we had Smith himself narrating the entire opening and pop in every now and then to add some color commentary. movie still holds up after all these years, poop jokes and all. And what a cast, hearing Kevin Smith reminisce about Alan Rickman and George Carlin and the times they had while making this movie was a treat.

another case of movie marketing completely ruining what was otherwise a decently built but middling political thriller. Winter Soldier this is not, but i gotta say i enjoyed my time watching this for the most part despite it being hard to really root for anything America at the moment. the action was okay, but almost always gimped by ill timed cuts like most modern action fare. i just love Harrison Ford, to me he's great in everything he is in ... even when he's probably half-assing it on a subpar script he manages to STILL be more magnetic than most of the actors. plot kept me engaged and intrigued until realizing it is all building towards the thing they are basing alllllllllll their marketing on, which sours the whole experience imo. if Red Hulk was not revealed, the anticipation and mystery of the plot would have hit a LOT harder and i suspect i would have felt a lot more positive walking of the theater.

as for how this in any way really moves the greater MCU as a whole forward, i mean i personally have given up at this point now that we are 2 movies away from the next Avengers movie and still have yet to even start building towards it in any meaningful way. this feels like more of a bandage to fix up some OBSCENELY MINOR loose ends and retroactively make the two least known Marvel films have some semblence of a purpose, and not the shot in the arm the MCU proper needed to get things moving. i liked bits and pieces of FATWS and looking back it does feel like one of the better D+ Marvel projects (although that isn't saying a whole lot) so it was good to see some of those threads show up here. i don't see this movie becoming a necessary rewatch anytime soon for any reason other than seeing a fun late-stage Harrison Ford performance

and RIP to William Hurt. it would have been cool to see him take this on and get to finish it out, fuck cancer yo

beautiful and such a perfect dark gothic vibe. i was far too tired and need to give it another watch eventually, but even through that i loved it. the blood sucking sounding like the Teletubbies vacuum was wiiiild

this movie takes a wiiiiiild turn in the back 3rd, but it made my mom cry so they did something right I guess. Jack Black is good as always, and there is a great cameo to kick off the final act, but those are about the only reasons to check this out outside of looking for a breezy 90 minute Christmas movie to have on in the background

Absolutely horrendous; I enjoyed it greatly

THE RETURN OF SWORDS AND SANDALS FINALLY, WE NEED MOOOOORE

honestly could have been longer. Enjoy it thoroughly, but did see something greater hidden in here that didn’t fully coalesce by the end. A little more time showing smaller civil unrest to help layer the grandiose direction this takes, and more time spent on the rise of Hanno would have given a lot more weight to the eventual (still satisfying) conclusion. 
Regardless, loved it, was very entertained, and I think it did enough to earn its place despite being 100% a legacy sequel

PLEASE let there be a classic Ridley Director’s Cut add on the extra 30 I know is missing to make this great

had a really good time watching this. amazing visuals and vibe overall. Rain and Andy were great, carried the movie. this ain’t winning any writing awards (it’s a bit straight forward and maybe a touch too reference based) but I found it drove itself well enough to stay throughly entertained for the duration. once things kicked off, it didn’t let up until it was over. i was NOT prepared for what goes down in the last third of this movie, but boy oh BOY was I on board. Fede you dirty dog

it’s been weeks since I’ve seen this, and I forgot to write my thoughts. All I can is that I enjoyed it on the whole, I think the nepotism was annoying but also worked in a kinda crazy way for what this movie ended up being without getting spoilery. Still waaaaay too much focus on the music/performance scenes. Everything else about the movie was fairly tight, it was just cut up between 6 musical performances and wasn’t given a chance to flow. It is wonderful to see Hartnett back in a lead role, he does great with what’s there. Not the best Shyamalan, but far from the worst

after some thought, probably my favorite of the trilogy. haven't rewatched the others since theaters so maybe that clouds judgement a bit, but to me this was everything it should be: gratuitous cameos, absurd crude jokes, sick ass action, a little bit of heart, and poking fun at studios/the modern movie making industry. this nails all those aspects while also being something I never expected: and ode to a bygone era that is sorely missed these days

entertaining as hell, but also a bit predictable, safe reboot/remake fare. this is a movie ass movie and it’s no doubt fun to just sit back and enjoy for a couple hours like movies should be sometimes. two leads chewing it up, a memorably quirky cast of side characters and some great looking cgi tornados rippin and whippin. what more could you want?? And that Glen Powell has too much fucking charisma god DAMN

super tense, but definitely not the 'scariest movie ever' as touted by some. great acting from Maika Monroe and the cast. effective imagery throughout, particularly when involving the titular Legs. Only complaints are some odd tonal choices, and I felt that right before third act the story sorta jumped and moved into a new direction, and I was much more intrigued with what came before than the what payoff ended up being

Didn’t know much except it was basically this years M3GAN. Had a great time, some laughs, and the movie messes with expectations enough to keep things interesting. A lot of fun, I’m here for the Abigail/Megan crossover of the future

Really good overall, undeniably entertaining and thrilling at times. really enjoyed the more human elements and themes the most, but after 3 movies now I’m really getting diminishing horror returns from watching people stay real still, quiet and sweaty with a monster slowly going by in the background. Wonderful acting, some decent set pieces as well.

REGGIEEEEEEEEE!!!! A ton of fun, I still really enjoy seeing these characters banter and do cool action stuff for a couple of hours. Pretty much on par with 3, with a just a little of the nostalgia return-factor gone.

Lots of laughs, neat action that at least attempts to stand out from the usual muck, and the boys’ chemistry is there as always. Probably the last time this could work, I think we are at the point of diminishing returns if we get more.. but I would be lying if I said I wouldn’t watch another one of these every few years until the end of time. Nothing will probably ever match the kinetic, hilarious, magic in a bottle that was Bad Boys 2. But there’s still fun to be had with the franchise

Bold, bombastic, grand, thrilling - Miller had it in him to make it epic

One of the first movies I have memories of seeing in a theater, and to see it 25 years later again on the big screen was a joy. My partner hadn't seen this before and got to see it for the first time and she really enjoyed it as well! A true classic, still holds up after all these years!

Has some very cool and gruesome fight scenes with fun choreography and slick direction from Dev Patel. A pretty good revenge tale but felt a little surface level. Was kinda bored for a good half of the movie unfortunately, felt like the film revealed it’s hand far too slowly and was at its best wayyyy towards the end. A little too little too late for me to fully buy in but still enjoyed it overall

EDIT: *SPOILER?* ALSO!! what in the actual FUCK was up with the whole bleach mask blue balls?! There’s focus placed on the whole process and he straight up throws it to the side exactly as the finale starts?!? I WANTED COOL BLEACHED MONKEY MASK FIGHTING

Doug Liman threw a fit because this was skipping theaters - claiming it’s “his best movie” and that it’s “made for the big screen”. The fact of the matter is is that Road House the most milquetoast straight to streaming mid-tier quality POS I’ve seen in some time - and yet it’s super fun and the PERFECT kinda trash for turn off your brain, stop and go watching at home (but also nowhere close to his best movie idk what that man smoking)

2nd viewing cements it as masterful, a perfect continuation. Easily the best cinematic epic since LoTR. Long live the fighters

This list in no way encomes all movies with a Bear as a ing role, as there are far too many great ones to point out. This is just my opinion on the best movies, that I have seen, that have a Bear in it.

P.S.: I included Ted (2012). Now, I know it is hotly contested who the main character is, whether it is actually John, played by Mark "Marky-Mark" Wahlberg, or Ted himself. I am personally on the side which agrees that Ted, although the title character, simply acts a catalyst for change in the character of John, and is in more of a ing role than a primary one. You may disagree with me, but that is alright. Everyone has their own opinion. ;)

Movies where Danny Trejo doesn't kill anyone. Danny is usually known as the bad guy, but there are a few films that he doesn't actually do anything wrong in, specifically murder.
