Watched Fallout again last night, showed it to someone who'd never seen it. What a delight that movie is, start to finish
It's honestly one of the most entertaining action movies I've seen in recent years. It's a tough act for Dead Reckoning to follow (I said the same of Rogue Nation way back when).Jorge wrote:Watched Fallout again last night, showed it to someone who'd never seen it.

100% though I still think 1 is pretty solid. Rogue Nation and Fallout are especially great. If Dead Reckoning is the same caliber, I'm pumped. Critic reviews are very positive across the board right now.Jorge wrote:I think they're each better than the last one except 2, which is worse than 1. But it's still a lot of fun and full of great, ridiculous moments.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
I would love for Paula Patton to return. She was great in 4 and then just disappearedVinylGuy wrote:seems Haley Atwell is great in the new movie.
I like how the cast is always expanding with new entries and its true Cruise lets everyone shine.
yeah, she was amazing in that one really. I have seen her in other movies, but in that one , she was a star.Jorge wrote:I would love for Paula Patton to return. She was great in 4 and then just disappearedVinylGuy wrote:seems Haley Atwell is great in the new movie.

She was his teammate, not his love interest. I think she worked well as a brash and revenge-driven field agenttragabigzanda wrote:I thought Paula Patton had no chemistry with Cruise
