Mission: Impossible II (2000)
Genaric but fun
Mission Impossible 2 I feel is a byproduct of the era of movies it got released in. Genaric fast cuts bullets flying everywhere so much so that you cant tell whats going on odd slow motion flip shots. The way this movie was shot is just too distracting for me to really focus on this movie. The only real thing holding this film together is Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt the cocky but pure hearted spy and Dougray Scott as Sean Ambrose an spy gone rouge who is both menacing and charming on screen. The spy element of this film absolutley works as all the Mission Impossible films do,especially with face procthetics in this film specifically. But it doesnt change the fact that this film is hard to pay attention. The one Mission Impossible film you should skip.
Mission: Impossible (1996)
A Great Entry Point
Mission Impossible is one of those movies that just gets you hooked into a movie franchise. The thrilling spy missions take you through a ride of emotions,you find yourself watching the movie and your holding your breath with the characters. The music is also great,iconic at this point,the score takes what you think of spy music and really makes it thrilling. Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt is one of my favorite action heroes now. Ethan as a character compared to every other character looks young,but he is the most prepared out of all of them i love it. The action is personally okay this movie really thrives more on a sense of danger. The story can be really hard to follow at certain parts so it would be a great movie to watch more than once. Definitley a good movie to get you into spy thrillers.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
This Sequel Soars
Top Gun Macerick is everything you could possibly hope for. The action is amazing, Tom Cruise bringing an exellent performance as mentor/teacher role. This movie compared to its prodessor has better planr action because there actually doing the plane stunts(for the most part). The music while not fully beating the original top gun soundtrack is still amazing. There is two pilots one black one female who I feel I did not get enough time with, I really liked there performances and feel they could have really brought more to the role if given the chance. What this movie does that other films hqve failed at is depending on nostalgia. This movie does use it but to the films advantage instead of making the nostalgia the whole film. 10/10 Go see now sefinitley worth the watch.
Top Gun (1986)
I Feel The need For Speed
Top Gun is one of my favorite older movies out there. It has great music action and acting.a.great performance by tom cruise as maverick.the story is Maverick and his best friend Goose go to Top Gun School. A pretty straight foward plot but very fun to watch. There is a love story in this movie that i thought was fine i did not hate it nor love it.the music is also really great in this movie, danger zone being the prime example. Goose was probaly my favorite character in the movie but due to spoilers i will not go further. Iceman was also great ib this movie always the character to play it by the book. A great movie for anyone wanting a good time.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Phenomanal Sequel
Avatar The Way Of Water Of Water is a movie 12 years in the making,and boy does it pay off. This movie is an achievment in cgi. I would not be suprised if the government came out and told us that they were real. This movie takes us to a new area of pandora, the sea. The effects of the water need to be awknolaged here just amazing. Storywise the movie is very simple but somehow that is what makes it standout in the movie. There a lot of new characters in this movie, which i will not spoil here. But for the most part there great some outshine theain charectera from the last movie. But the film is veey long and the length can be felt, but that is more of a nitpick than a critisism. This movie is definitaley better than the first one. A movie you should see specifaccly in the theater.
Avatar (2009)
Visually spectacular
Avatar Directed by James Cameron. Now this is by visual standpoint probaly one of the best movies i have ever seen not inclusing the sequel. Now it is a very buy the books story, the movie often gets compared to Pochantis or Ferngully. But a movie telling the same type of story is nothing new at this point. So I judged on how well it told said cliche story and in my opinion it did amazing. The setting is absolutley beatiful,the creatures wild and filled with beaty everything is so creativly made, ending on am enderenalizing finale. But the length of the movie is felt and some characters being played by very talented actors still manage to fall flat to me. But the good outways the bad here, the movie is beatiful and full of life. An experience all of you should see at least once.
7/10.
