Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (Christopher McQuarrie, July 12, 2023) Movie • Page 33

Id listen to McG talk about these movies

 

I actually think Cruise calls him McG

 

In the interviews I've watched everyone refers to him as McQ

 

Yeahhh that’s what I meant. I’ve been drinking in a lake for 3 days it’s impressive I can even type

 

Better get out before your skin gets too puckered

 

I hope a pontoon splashes my head apart and I die

 

This ruled. Hayley Atwell is an absolute fucking star, and Pom Klementieff is a badass, and Vanessa Kirby is so pretty, and the villain being a ghost in a shell was so rad.

 

Saw this again in England, and THREE people had their bare ass feet up on the seats in front

totally flat audience with barely a chuckle, but it still whipped ass

I NEED this team to do a MetalGear movie

 

I didn't love this as much as the last two. So I feel weird about it. Definitely not happy about that death. It doesn't feel in tune with the fun and spirit of these movies. I love the magic when they pull off the mission and the core members of the team are safe. The movie was giving me major Bond vibes, especially with the intro and giving us stuff about Ethan's past. Idk, this wasn't as fun as the others. Did it need more Benji too? Loved the bomb stuff with him and Luther. I know this is a great summer movie, the 3 hours flew by, I'm just nitpicking.

Also, this is the second summer movie to do a chase sequence in Rome. Those poor Spanish steps took quite the beating between this and Fast X.

 

The way that bike stunt ultimately ended was one of the funniest fucking things I’ve seen this year. Up there with the John Wick stairs.

Anyway this was fantastic. I was a little nervous when AI came into play right at the start, but it was handled well.

Unsure on how to feel about Ilsa though. Rebecca Ferguson has been such a great addition to these movies. I hate to lose her, but I also don’t really want them to do they “she faked her death as part of the mission” thing.

 

if they truly need someone off the grid then faking her death makes sense but we will see

 

I'm assuming Rebecca Ferguson's increasingly busy schedule played a part in the decision, but yea the more I sit with it I just hate the decision. Not so much that she died, but that her only purpose in this movie was to just die for the sake of Ethan's story.

 

Sucks that this movie won't really make any money. Should have released it earlier.

 

Have any of the summer blockbuster made a decent amount this year?

 

Spider-Verse babyyy

 

When it comes to production costs and the box office earned, probably Across the Spider-Verse

cries in Indiana Jones

 

Mission Impossible and Craig's Bond playing with the same trope of trying (and often failing) to save their women

 

Guardians was this year right lol

 

Is that considered summer though? When does summer truly begin? And end, for that matter?

 

According to capitalism the time between Christmas so March to October

 

mario brothers was bigger than spiderverse, but april, so

 

I consider the first weekend of May to be when the summer blockbuster season starts.
