New movies undeserving of their own thread 2: The Night It Came Home

[Martin]

waiting for FilmNerdJamie to come in here and say it's gonna suck. Feels like that is gonna happen.

Yeah, but that guy sucks, so why bother?

It looks AMAZING

Looks like Paramount decided they may as well release the full trailer since it leaked already and got a great response.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah, I'm on board. I love that series and it has yet to let me down. Even the second one because without that existing we never would have gotten Hugh Jackman as Wolvie so it gets a pass for that.

I am ready.

I’ve only ever seen 1 & 2. To me it’s kinda like the Fast and the Furious movies: “they’re still fucking making those?” Though, I suppose it’s no different than the marvel movies and I need to get over myself and watch them.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah you do. They're great.

[BillyG]

The difference is the MI movies from 3 on fall into the top like 15 action movies of the last 25 years. Ingrid, you gotta see Superman reload his arms like a shotgun.

[Abraham Smashington]

also, Philip Seymour Hoffmann's bad guy in part 3 is a thing of beauty. It's legit a series of movies that get better with each new flick. I'm struggling to think of another series like that.

[BillyG]

One of my favorite Hoffman performances, for real. It's JJ's best movie by a country fucking mile.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'd tie it with Super 8 if only because I fucking LOVE Super 8.

As for the MI flicks, as much as I love the first one, it's the "smallest" movie in the entire series which is hilarious as when it came out that movie was all like OUR ACTION SCENES ARE THE BEST OMG LOOK AT THIS TRAIN SEQUENCE.

[Matt]

My personal ranking of the MI films:
1. MI 5: ROGUE NATION
2. MI 4: GHOST PROTOCOL
3. MI 6: FALLOUT
4. MI 1
5. MI 3
6. MI 2

And bear in mind, the top 5 of those are all in the Great to Awesome range of quality. It's really only the second one that I cringe at.

You do want to watch them in order, though. They stand alone well enough for the most part but there's a loose continuity between them, especially from 3 onwards.

Also, you've missed out on spectacular action sequences. A personal favorite is this entire sequence, culminating in an absolute phenomenal motorcycle chase.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah, Rogue Nation is fucking awesome. Actually, even though I will always LOVE the first entry I agree fully with Matt's rankings. Part two is again, the only ehhhhhh entry

[Matt]

Hey guys: drop what you're doing and watch RRR on Netflix. Just do it. Trust me.
This is an Indian action adventure film that is amazing in its awesomeness.

A trailer for it:

[BillyG]

That looks absolutely ridiculous. I'm in.

[Matt]

That looks absolutely ridiculous. I'm in.

I can't fucking wait to hear what you think of it. So far, it's my favorite movie of the year.
