What to say about The Final Reckoning?
The sound is cool. The sound, in fact, is the best part. There’s also a very good sequence on a Russian submarine. But mostly this is just soooo serious. Every line is delivered ponderously, as if we won’t know that the entirety of humanity, the lives of billions of people, perhaps the future of all life on this planet is at stake.
Like… ok. But lighten up a bit. Everyone is so fucking intense in this.
Also, this movie brings back Dead Reckoning Part One’s truly hilarious method of exposition, where four or more people (sometimes in completely different scenes and time sequences) tell us important plot information seamlessly. Instead of one voice, we get multiple! It makes no literal sense whatsoever, and it’s so funny.
As far as I am concerned, this was kind of a disaster.
I thought Dead Reckoning was just fine (none of the Mission Impossible movies are more than decent for me and most are less) while this final one I agree was a disaster. I loved how everyone got so angry at Tom Cruise because he DOESN'T FOLLOW THE RULES!! They are just enraged that he's a rule-breaker. It really pisses them off. Made me laugh every time and I laughed quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteI assume Oh, Hi! is not worth seeing, despite the tying up of Logan Lerman?
ReplyDeleteI liked it. I love Logan Lerman. The movie is only cute, and I sort of disliked the ending, but I'd see it.
