"Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny"
At first through this rewatch I was having my doubts on this movie, the plot was alright but I felt the film was missing something. As it went on I slowly realized that this is such a well directed film and great entry into the franchise. The opera sequence, the motorcycle chase, the final act just such great stuff here. Slowly lays the foundations for the religious allegorical storytelling that we see in the final parts and its awesome.
Very good movie

Another really good entry into this franchise. First live action directorial debut for Brad Bird and he kicked it out of the park wow.Very solid group this time, Benji is already a favourite. We see the standard of what's to come with the franchise and the foundation for the "action epics" that this franchise morphs into. Good film

This one is tied with the first as the best in the franchise. God this film is so well directed! Abrams just really does not shy away when it comes to directing a summer blockbuster, such a master of the craft. Great emotional storyline for Ethan Hunt as a character, and love the personal stakes involved. The emotions in this film a done in a much more engaging way compared to what Mi 2 was trying to do. Though you do lose some of that over-the-top action for more gritty tactile encounters but its still such a fun watch.
Some interesting politics at play and a on the nose criticism of the Bush Presidency, criticizing the gov. from the perspective of inside the istration and its militaristic agencies. Of course it devolves into the "change can happen from within" stuff but its interesting to see how this movie tries to tip toe in and out of those criticisms while also trying to subtlety pander to China aswell lol.
Cruise is good here and channels more of that seriousness that was seen in glimpses in mi 2 although here is much more frantic which become a defining trait in Ghost Protocol
Anyways great film!

hype moments and aura

Such a interesting follow up to one of the greatest shows ive ever seen. This film continues Andor’s story pretty well but the film keeps trying to find reasons to not have Cassian as the main lead. Jyn isnt really that compelling of a character and it feels all of the emotional beats should be Cassian’s but oh well. Very solid, best example if hype moments and aura was a movie

One of the best in the franchise. Such a great paranoid thriller with some action mixed in here and there. Masterfully shot with some of the best uses of split diopters Ive seen. Love the tone and underlying sexual tension between the characters in this one. This movie is also so 90s which I absolutely love, the technology is so retro and tactile that it just adds more texture to the spy world.
Watching this franchise evolve into different types of action films is just so fascinating to watch but this is such a strong start for this franchise!

I liked this one very much! A engaging MCU movie for once tackling actual adult themes wow who would've thought! And despite its darker tone it was quite funny, like actual jokes with punchlines. I was surprised by their actually being interesting directing here and uhhh yea every scene doesn't look like grey sludge. Pretty Good!

Very solid blockbuster over here, really like JJ Abram's directing in this one yet there leaves alot to be desired when it comes to certain story elements. Interesting revisiting this one

Micheal Mann making nothing but bangers, such a great visual style my lord. Score is very 80s which could be hit or miss for some but I liked it. Probably my favourite Mann protagonist so far

What a dud.

"Sir its time for you to leave"
"And so it is"

This movie is like crack for 14 year olds. Finally saw this on the big screen and Im really glad I did. Was too young to see this when it originally released and by the time I finally get the chance the opinion on this film has widely changed. I grew up hearing that this was seen as the "okay" film in a largely panned trilogy but as a kid i just always thought this was the coolest thing in the world.Now a beloved cult classic, theatre was packed to watch a now fan favourite of the saga.

Lucas is chomping at the bit here to tackle so many themes and stories, corruption of politics, democratic and religous institutions, romantic tragedy. All of it is present in this movie and yet there are certain elements that just don't have enough time to breath and you can tell, that this film was supposed to be 4 hours. The middle part of this film just feels so rushed and we're going through Anakin's fall at break-neck pace that I can't really get emotionally attached to the "emotional tragedy" of it all. Though the film definitely picks up in the third act with iconic setpieces and just breathtaking final duel. Ian Mcdermid is just so hilariously good in this , his line reads are just to good.
Lucas is such a interesting director, most of his choices are just so baffingly weird, no introductory shots, some shots in this film are not even properly centered,conitnuity errors. Theres a great story at the foundation , I just don't think Lucas was the director to execute it.
Criticism aside the movie just leaves you off on a somber but uplifting tone, theres nothing like it in star wars.

"Long ago, the men who stole my fathers land forced these words upon us,I hated those men...but the words still bring me comfort"

Even better on a rewatch. Such a genuine and deep film here bursting with a sole prominant artistic voice. On second rewatch I really grew to love Jack O'Connell's Remmick, just such a entertaining and interesting villian to watch play out on the screen. A lot to unpack here might even inspire me to make a video essay about it, can't wait to get the blu ray of this film.

"They're both loyal beasts but one of them has just tamed it"- Philip Seymour Hoffman

Great stuff here, amazing editing. Its actually insane how strong this movie holds together given its runtime and the amount of characters are in it!

this is fucking terrible

"Im a soldier and you just gave me a command"

Theres something so moving when you see a movie able to reach another level, another emotional plane, right before your eyes, akin to watching a unexplained miracle take place. Such a well crafted, beautiful collage of images and music, and when bound together, create something that moves your soul. As the film slowly burns through the story, Coogler immerses you in the 1930s south, spending time with these characters, learning their motives and history with this town. Our characters traverse through lands so tainted with a dark past that our characters so desperately want to leave behind but in the end are right back where they started. And as the daylight settles and we reach the dark hours of the night, this film reveals the more sinister side of this world. Embracing the folklore of a classic monster but re-contextualizing it in the religious segregated south, it adds a raw emotion to the filmmaking.

Theres a certain sequence in this film that just made me speechless. A sequence of liberation and freedom, watching a culture evolve, but in expressing this freedom, summons a great evil. Coogler is reaching another level here, in a way feeling very sincere but critical of religon and folklore. And the score is absolutely fantastic,filled with classic blues guitar riffs accompanied by haunting bass drums aswell as some modern heavy metal aspects too?!?! Ludwig Goransson is actually goated my lord.Possibly Coogler's best film?Might need to sleep on that one but man does this leave an impression.

Woah, what a whirlwind of a film. PTA captures the feeling of love,akwardeness in such a weird way.Watching this feels like you’re an alien watching footage of humanity for the first time. Such a unique film

Peele's best

Love it when me and my gf got a bag full of popcorn thrown at us when Jack Black said chicken jockey

Good movie!! Another great entry for Boong Joon Ho. Surprisingly really funny, wasnt expecting to this be a straight up dark comedy? But wnjoyed it. Though the film was obviously expecting Trump to lose the election with its politics and that may negatively date the movie , even the aspects of fascist systems having to internally change for society to save itself might be questionable but id need to think more about that. Overall 👍

idk kinda have to sit on this one, I was kinda bored in a way but idk if that was the movie or the hot ass classroom i was in. Acting is fine and of course the being a Jim Jarmusch film its funny, score was incredible aswell! need to think about this one...

Very solid love letter (in a way) to samurai films, good heart and surprisingly funny!

ABSOLUTE CINEMA, what a beautiful picture. This was the first time watching this on the big screen and I loved every second of it. I cried...multiple times, cause this film is just a masterpiece. Theres simply nothing like this film, the colors, editing,style, and AURA...insane. A beautiful piece of art that crescendos into a grand finale that not only pays respect to its heartfelt characters but to film as an artform.
This will always be my favourite film of all time.

Boring,generic and forgettable prolly like one memorable scene in it.
Like it when harrison ford turned into a red monster tho👍

Despite my hate for the man himself, i cannot lie and say this movie is bad. In fact its quite good

biggest truth nuke dropped on the church in recent memory

this was fine, not best picture worthy in the slightest but fine nonetheless, second half was pretty interesting

Aggressively mediocre, feels like Mangold is sleepwalking throught the whole film, Memorable performance from Timmy though, and Johnny Cash was cool but pretty boring!

“Ill cut him up and ill show you”

Kind of a banger? Theres obviously some 90s cheesiness here but its a solid film thats really well shot

“Whose in charge here?”

JFK being killed is still the second worst thing to happen in Dallas  behind the Luka trade

Probably the greatest cast ever assembled?!?! Absolute insane epic about a tragedy, a king being slain and facism on the rise. Stone shapes one of histories most talked about assassinations and presents through the lense of a mythologic tragedy, like the murder of Caesar or Judas betraying Jesus. You have Costner killing in this role paired with every notable actor ever.As this man tries to fight these institutions to his last pleading breath, realizing he cant change it all, he turns towards the audience to beg them to force change and do something. The seeds of our Oppenheimer’s and Zodiac’s were sown with this film.Absolute masterclass.

Just had the craziest nap of my life
Killer ending tho

A fine movie i guess

"Your Laura Disappeared"....

Absolutely haunting stuff from Lynch here. Genuinely the scariest moments in the series are in this film. Lynch crafts a film that feels so isolating and lonely but grandiose and monumental at the same time. Doing away with the somewhat goofy atmosphere of the show and just going into pure hell, fantastic. Sheryl Lee is just extraordinary and nails the character of Laura to perfection and is just so sad to watch. Fantastic all around but hits you like a truck once its done.

Uhhhhh

Genuinely a great show. Such a unique cast of characters, accompanied by a ever-looming and masterful score.Season one of the show is stronger in comparison to season 2 but that cliffhanger man...cant believe people had to wait 25 years to get and answer to what happened.

A solid movie with some sauce at hand, tho this picture can get a bit boring at parts. Very interesting vision

kind loved this? love the style, visuals, humour very fun Canadian film

absolute amazing surprise by my gf to take me to a screening of this one. Love this movie so much , the rythmic editing, the sharp dialogue , that techno score , pure kino.

Fine movie but painfully shot on digital,Ending is great though!

its a very basic and okay film. Obviously way more potential here with the character of the hulk and seemingly less sauce from Ang Lee's interpretation. A tad bit boring at times aswell. Generic but competent film.

a masterpiece

This movie is suprisingly good! Throughout its hay day, I was convinced by mcu fans that earlier phases were bad but going through phase 1, I found alot of heart and creativity lacking from later installments.

Heartfelt film with surprisingly solid performances by the whole cast. It weakens in the final act but overall pretty solid.

he kills

Sex is back!

Showed this to the gf and was glad that she loved this movie more than I did, always fun to see!

Very solid movie here, found my serlf loving this movie past the half-way point but the movie kinda just settles into its themes in the final 10 min when it shouldve done that way earlier. Solid movie, though I am surprised at all the award buzz its generating as Uncut Gems ( a similiar but way better film) failed to do so

Miller really knows how to do sound design man. A lot at hand in this one that I'm far to dumb to unpack bu such a gripping story. Its a film that really leaves a mark on you and has you thinking about it hours after watching it.

Im obviously not gonna critically think about the sonic movie lmao, very fun and funny intentionally of not. Big win for Sonic fans, a fanbase that rarely gets wins.
