Oh BROTHER

Taraji P. Henson giving an all-timer performance for an overwrought script. That’s crazy.

Wow. 💎

The plot of this is so silly, but that's not what we're here for anyway. Once Ana de Armas shows off her moves (not the ballet kind), this thing is classic summer action fun. It differentiates itself enough from John Wick, with action that often corners Ana de Armas into tighter spaces or spiraling around and around the same small room. Worth watching on the big screen.

Couldn’t stop belly laughing when they just started exploding, lol what is this movie!?

Could’ve been stronger if they took the time to characterize anyone but most of them are just there to be killed off…

Goes through the same motions as any other obligatory annual dog movie and yet manages to be so languid and boring it’s a wonder how anyone could think differently.

I’m actually laughing now thinking about how the iconic line (and theme) of Lilo & Stitch is “Ohana means family. And family means no one gets left behind, or forgotten.” And Disney was like, “What if we didn’t do that?” Live-action remakes are an evil that must be eradicated.

Give me a few streaming services, and I could live in that cabin.

I made it 30 minutes.

I have had it with these motherfucking assassins on this motherfucking plane!

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is overstuffed. You can feel the push and pull of conversations about what flashbacks to include or remove (one shot in particular is shown again and again). The messiness of filming random stunts first and writing in scenes to connect them together has been worse (Dead Reckoning), but still palpable here. The first hour is almost completely unnecessary, just a repeat of calling The Entity bad over and over and over again. And again. And the film sort of fades through scenes or motions in a montage of malaise with sparse action. It's not great. It's not even all that good.

But dammit, those action scenes. There are a couple fight scenes (one happens off screen), and only a couple of big stunts, which is odd for what is supposed to be a final movie. Big stunts do not a good movie make, but I can't very well sit here and lie to you. I was on the edge of my seat during both.

The final sequence, in particular, is like something out of a Looney Tunes cartoon. I half-expected one of the actors to hold up a sign that read "SUCKER" as they defied gravity in the air. (This is all complimentary, by the way.)

The road is rocky. The movie doesn't feel like a great culmination of an eight-movie franchise. But in the end, I do have to say I was thrilled more than I was not.

This is why I fly instead of taking the Amtrak

Me when I wanna kill someone but come up with the most elaborate scheme ever known to man

She put her whole pughssy in that pughformance

🎵 Mr. Novocaine should’ve been my name… ‘cause you can stab into me… burn all of me… without pain anywhere 🎵

Idk wtf was happening till the last five minutes, but I was enthralled. That’s cinema.

This is exactly why I have my airdrop on s only

This is my Top Gun: Maverick. The stuff happening here is kinda insane lol but I was so thoroughly entertained. The people demand The ant³.

Good actors gotta do a shit movie every once in a while for a lil razzle dazzle.

They were munching — and not just the vampires.

It’s no Paddington 2 (or Paddington 1), but you’re not gonna find me hating on Latino king Paddington Brown.

Why was this kinda fun? Also, Jean Smart, JK Simmons, and John Lithgow just casually being in this is so funny to me.

What… happened here? Kinda sauceless and slightly incoherent. Not even the dads will like this.

That’s sinnema.

I mean, nothing can compare to the first movie. My expectations were way too high. But it’s a luscious sequel that keeps enough of that blend of humor and suspense that made the first movie so unique.

And I'll be seated for the eventual Yet Another Simple Favor.

I had a good time, I’m sawry

So stupid. We need so many more movies like this.

I couldn’t tell the characters apart sometimes. I might be dumb, y’all.

This is fine. But it’s not at the level of The Lion King — a movie I’ve always thought was overrated, but is understandably iconic. That one’s got real heart and impact even though it’s a simple story, not this diluted action adventure. I guess that’s what happens when you’re adapting Shakespeare and not circling the drain to make a buck.

I watched this with a Spanish dub tho so idk.

Tony’s name is not Kevin.

Tyler Perry, you will pay for your crimes.

I simply wouldn’t have gone 1,000 feet below water. Built different.

LOL??? This erotic thriller turns techno in a gender-flipped sexual harassment story. Slightly muddled, but it doesn’t let men off the hook. And sadly, the same conversations are still timely 30 years later. (Or maybe I’m just too online.)

Well. I wasn’t expecting that. I gotta start reading synopses or watching trailers.

You are 17 going on 18

Noah’s Ark if it were a 2003 video game (kinda complimentary)

What the hell, sure.

They ate.

Such a classic. Everyone should watch it at least once.

Y’all don’t get it like I get it.

Friday- and Dude, Where’s My Car?-era movies are so back.

Keke Palmer and SZA have surprisingly great chemistry in this buddy comedy. Go out and because this one is better with a crowd.

Needed a slightly different ending, I fear.

It repeats the same beats (pun intended) a few too many times, but Better Man is wonderfully stylized and surprisingly moving.

I was a little harsh on this the first time but this movie is like 30 minutes too long

Overused phrase but they do not make movies like this anymore. An oil painting come to life.
