[alonzo-ny]

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Really rather good, 8.108466/10.

[k5villan]

saw the avengers, brilliant film, better than any of their solo films by a distance, the only thing better than ruffalo is the hulk, surely he'll get another film, my only complaint would be that lokis army are pure fodder, absolutely nothing interesting about them

cant help but think that out of this summers big 3 films that ive been waiting for (prometheus and batman) it'll be bottom of the pile

[JackSwan]

i don't think i've seen so much praise for a new movie in this thread, ever. my enthusiasm for watching it has jumped from 3 to 4%.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - 7.2/10

Fairly entertaining, and certainly one of the better action movies, but a better title would be "Mission: Implausible", even without taking all the gadgets into account.

[Zedferret]

Avengers.

Battleship?
Wrath of the Titans?
Transformers?

They can all sod off. The Avengers shows what a proper action blockbuster should be like. It's funny as hell too. Brilliant.

9/10

knowing people who have done some of the stunts in Mi4 for real... it's not as implausible as it seems. well what IS implausible is simon pegg as a computer geek...

The most implausible thing in the film was Tom Cruise repeatedly smacking his head off metal extremely hard and not even drawing blood.

[Crash_N]

Tom Cruise letting go of the rope and jumping down, aiming at the window of their apartment, hitting his head at the window at full speed and retaining his conciousness is implausible.
Russian SLBM flying for minutes towards an American city and the US not launching a retaliatory attack is implausible.
Russians keeping their sensitive militery intelligence files in Kremlin is simply inaccurate, but people just walking in with huge-ass bombs is somewhat implausible.
There are other things as well, but I'm too lazy.
As I said, it's a very good action flick, one of the best in the last decade or so, and was very entertaining, but it had to sacrifice some plausibility for the sake of action and thrill, or simply to be "cool".

One thing I noticed about Ghost Protocol was the sound of guns going off, people getting punched and car crashes was realistic and subtle, instead of being the usual Hollywood exaggerated sound effects. I liked how the message in the telephone didn't self destruct and Tom Cruise had to destroy it manually.

PS: I want Avengers on blu-ray NOW!

I do have a major complaint about the avengers... Too many dick 3D moves and shots obviously there for the post production 3D. Its really bad when you are watching it in 2D and can spot all of the 3D guff.

It kept pulling me out of the movie, 3D needs to die a death and fuck off back to the 50's where it belongs. It adds nothing to a film and takes away far too much.

can i applaud this times 1 million. and then we have peter jackson not only doing 3d but insisting on filming it at 48 FPS. 3d is the equivalent of HDR in photography, almost always overused and pointless.

there's only been two 3d movies i've liked... avatar had a novelty value to it but the only one i felt was really worthy in 3d was hugo which actually worked. i'd much rather directors started filming in 70mm again for epics like lawrence of arabia.

good point. i found the bit in the parking garage absurd but that aside most of the stunts are realistic and can be done.

as far as the rogue missile goes, there are systems in place so that other countries DON'T retaliate. what's more implausible is you'd know a terrorist had launched a nuclear weapon using a stolen missile against you from russia and you'd then attack russia. you'd attack where the terrorist was.

[JackSwan]

i think everyone knows the hobbit is going to be a steaming pile of old elephant spunk. many have criticised lotr for being boring, but at least it was hugely ambitious and pioneering; by contrast, the hobbit is going to be a boring pratfall comedy. look at the silly dwarfs clowning about. haha. shooting it in 48fps is jackson's way of making it somehow important.

True, but I thought that, in the movie, the Russians had covered up the stealing of the launch codes?

[Medo]

Forget 48fps they should be shooting 120fps.

I'm sure there will be 24fps 2D versions of the Hobbit.
