Mission Impossible 5: Really quite good and entertaining.
Tom Cruise is the man, I don't care what anyone says, that dude is legit.
That stunt he pulled on the aircraft really is something else, he puts so much effort and dedication into his roles and doesn't treat his audience with contempt, he actually earns that superstar status that he has, He's mid 50's looks like he's 30, the dude is killing it still.
Simon Pegg is great for the laughs and to put the film in a lighter mood when it needs it and that woman who I've never seen before Rebecca Ferguson really is impressive, she more than holds her own with Cruise and probably ends up stealing the film tbh, that chick can act and she's also pretty easy on the eye.
7.5/10 Recommended.
Now You See Me: Hated it, I found many problems with this movie that just annoyed me throughout.
It's too flashy and fast, it doesn't linger at all and let you take things in, one scene happens and it just gets hastily edited into the next, it doesn't let you think ever.
Jesse Eisenberg, to me he is one of the most punchable actors in hollywood, every movie he's in he just shits me, he has a smugness and condescension about him, I get it he's probably been told to act this way for the movie(s) but I get the feeling he's probably pretty close to this in real life as well.
This movie has too many big names all running around kinda pointlessly and becomes needlessly distracting, there is Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman as the two older supposedly wiser people of the bunch, then there is the four magicians, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson & Dave Franco, then there's Mark Ruffallo, Melanie Laurent & Common running around as the cops, that's too many big names all in the one film they should have cut at least half of them and they would have saved money and the movie would have been less distracting, pretty every one of these actors can and do carry movies on there own at times, it's stupid.
Finally it's just totally ridiculous, the story is ridiculous and illogical, the movie takes itself too seriously so suspension of belief gets thrown out the window because you feel your supposed to take the movie seriously there's no wink or nod to camera to let the audience know that this is supposed to be a silly and fun movie they **** that up by trying to be too serious.
3/10. Don't watch. They made a 2nd one as well it was obviously popular and has a decent rating on imdb but I seriously just hated it.
