We saw 8 in theaters. It was fun. I would say the stunts on the plane were the best part on the large screens. Also, the diving in the ocean next to the Sub. Outside of that, the overall story was very weak compared to previous installments. I love the MI series as a whole. But 7 and 8 were sloppy and the overall story was weak and rushed. The actor playing the villain was not the right choice. I didn't like him at all. And I'm still pissed about them axing Ilsa. She was awesome. They threw Grace, who was just a pickpocket in and then by 8 (which is only weeks later) she's some trained combat fighter now. Hahaha. If they could've kept the momentum of the 5th and 6th one, these final two could've been monsters at the box office.

Definitely the story lets the action down, but they're fun no brain required popcorn movies. The bad guy here, I agree. Same for the last 007 movie. Good movie, lousy bad guy.

Rebecca Ferguson is my favorite actress. So, yeah, I was pissed too when they killed her off.

That might have ruined the whole movie for me.

But I agree, I think Dead Reckoning Part 1 & Part 2 are definitely NOT among my favorite MI movies.

Of all the 007 movies ever made, I only truly liked one Bond movie - "Casino Royale" with Daniel Craig/Eva Green. I don't even care for any of other Bond movies.

For MI, I need to figure out which of these 3 are my favorite: Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation, Fallout.

Watched Superman. It was OK. I definitely didn't miss out by not seeing it in the theater. Other than the dog, it was pretty par for the course. It felt like a Gunn film, so kind of expected format.

I agree, it was just an "OK" movie. Nothing more. I'm not Gunn fanboy nor a Snyder fanboy, so I don't go bonkers when they release a new movie. But this Superman was way overhyped. Gunn as a director is mid in my opinion. Outside his GoTG movies, he's just not that good. Kind of like the Russo Brothers. Great at Marvel movies, but projects outside of that, they completely bomb.
