Just got back from seeing Tom Cruise’s final run as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning. The stunts? incredible. Tom Cruise is literally defying gravity like it's a daily hobby.  The man has no fear whatsoever. That being said… the storyline didn’t blow me away. Felt a bit drawn out at times and some plot points kind of wandered. Could’ve done with tighter pacing and a little more emotional weight in places. On the action front though....It delivers. Not perfect, but still a bloody good time. Do you think this is really his last one? Watched James Gunn's Superman on Sunday, and whilst the visual effects were pretty amazing and the music was great, I have to admit, it left me scratching my head a bit. The storyline felt like it didn't know in which direction it wanted to go and felt disjointed, and some of the characters felt a bit off but I would probably try it again a second time though. So, who's seen Fantastic Four: First Steps? What did people think? Here's my take on I thought it  was a good film overall. Galactus looked really impressive — the design nailed that larger-than life presence. I was a bit skeptical about Shalla-Bal at first, but she actually turned out great and added more depth than I expected. The story itself wasn’t the strongest part, but I absolutely loved the whole Jetsons style 60s/70s aesthetic. It gave the book a fun, retro-futuristic vibe that made it stand out, even when the plot felt a bit thin. It is definitely worth going to the cinema for. Scores on the doors 7.5/10At The Movies 🍿
If you’re a fan of action, spectacle, or just want to watch Tom Cruise do things no insurance policy should allow, it’s 100% worth a watch.
