Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation

 

Its official, Tom Cruise is the greatest movie star of all time, and this movie proves why. How many superstars back in the 80s are still dominating the box office today? Sly is all washed up. The new terminator was a disappointment, but Tom? He is still at the top of his game. He has been raking in box office return for nearly 4 decades and it does not seem that he is gonna slow down anytime soon. I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. Before the main feature, they showed a preview on how they did that stunt on the plane. My Goodness! Tom Cruise really strapped himself at the side of the plane. It did set the mood for the main feature quite well. Every action scene that has Tom in it, you are pretty sure that the stunt was done real and its not some CGI bullshit.

 

In this Mission Impossible installment, super secret agent Ethan Hunt is out to prove the existence of "the syndicate", an organization of rogue secret agents. As the IMF becomes dissolved, Hunt once again becomes a fugitive chased by the CIA. He also has to reluctantly trust Llsa, another renegade British secret agent whose allegiance seems to be murky. To take down the syndicate Ethan will also need to enlist the help of his former IMF teammates Benjie, Luther, and Brandt. That is the basic plot.

 

I really enjoyed the action scenes in this movie. Finally an action movie where its more about the actor doing those dangerous stunts than all that superhero ridiculousness where you never feel the actor was in any real danger. Moreover, this movie brought many things we loved from each MI installment. It has the difficult vault heist of MI:1. The motorcycle chase of MI:2. The high altitude stunts of MI:3 and 4. And though Tom is not really kicking ass he was still fun to watch. My favorite scene would be the chase in morocco. Using a BMW, Tom Rams into a group of motorcycle thugs, swiping them off the alley like they were bowling pins. As if that wasn't badass enough, we get to see the coolest Bike scene in the freeway ever put on film. I was gripping the edge of my arm rest watching these sequences.

 

The supporting characters were also great in this one. Simon Pegg was a good comic relief. I love that they hired Jeremy Rener again to be part of the team. Its also nice to see Vhing Rhames as a part of Ethan's crew. However, unlike Ghost Protocol, this feels more like once again the Tom Cruise show rather than a team-effort movie. They only come together as a team nearing the end. And this is something that I really missed from the previous installment. Nonetheless, this movie was still enjoyable. It is as enjoyable as ghost protocol but it is not necessarily better over all as a movie. But on the other hand, it just goes to show that we have a good reason to keep watching out for whatever installment they will make again.

ok ung rogue nation.

 

Yesss! Sulit na sulit bayad dito. Maaksyong pelikula talaga. Tama na kasi ang mga superhero movie at walang katapusang CGI na yan. Kahit yung bida nakaCGI din minsan. Kakasawa na. Maganda lang tignan pero iba pa din yung thrill na alam mong totoong stunt work yung pinapanood mo. Talagang mapapakapit ka sa upuan mo.

 

Kudos to Tom for being an awesome action star. Say what you want about this guy, but he is truly the greatest movie star of all time. He still knows how to thrill fans after nearly 4 decades of dominating the box office. Si Arnold tanda na para magterminator pa. Pero si Tom Cruise astig na astig pa din

I agree! Mas maganda pa rouge nation kaysa sa MI3 and MI4.. but i need to watch again 1 & 2 dahil mejo limot ko na para masabe na ito ung best MI movie.. motorcycle scene pa lng panalo na... although mejo nabitin ako sa fight scene nila nung kalaban, I expect na mas matagal laban nila but got surprized natapos agad, but all in all ayus na ayus... astig pa rin c tom cruise... at lahat ng leading lady na nakukuha nya maganda.. hahaa...

 

as for FF4, very disappointed talaga ako.. parang last 15mins nalng ng movie nagkaroon talaga ng FF4... panget pa ni doom... tsk.. kung nag-gomo gomo no sana c mr fantastic baka gumanda ng onti.,.

Kahit ano pa sabihin ni press kay Tom Cruise tungkol sa religion nya, yung stand nya against psychiatric treatment, at previous relationships, he will still go down as the greatest movie star of all time. He is the Michael Jackson of eye-candy/[pop corn movies. Nung 80s kasabayan nya sina Stallone, Arnie, at Mel Gibson. Ngayon puros laos na mga yan, di na sila tumatabo sa takilya. Pero si Tom Cruise, talagang hangang ngayon pakakaabangan pa mga pelikula nya. Yan ang astig.

 

Yan ang magaling na sequel, yung bang hirap ka ikumpara talaga kung alin mas maganda. Hirap talaga isipin kung ano yung mas astig. Ghost Protocol ba o itong Rogue Nation..... hmmmmm Ill go with ghost protocol na lang by a very very thin margin. I like Ghost Protocol because it featured a better IMF team. All of them were integral to the success of the Mission, and they were working together with good chemistry. Most of the MI installments (including this one), feels like the Tom Cruise show... but like I said, thin margin lang lamang ng Ghost Protocol. In terms of entertainment value, pantay lang yung dalawang huli. Hopefully the 6th one will just be as good.

 

 

Eto Capsule Review ko sa series

 

1. MI:I- It was ok at the time, very suspenseful espionage movie, but the plot was too convoluted di mo talaga maintindihan yung story

2. MI:II- Now critics have this as the least favorite installment, but I actually liked it a lot. This time the plot was simpler, and what it lacked in plot made up in action. Astig yung barilan at fight scenes

3. MI:III- wala masyadong bago, plateu na series dito. Parang wala ng bagong idea maisip to reinvigorate the franchise. Still enjoyable, and it featured the best Villain

4. MI:IV- This one breathe new life into the franchise. Just awesome and featured probably the coolest stunt in the series

5. MI:V- Keeps the tradition of the previous one in terms of coolness, you know the rest lol

Antman

 

Love the fight scene between antman and the yellowsuit inside the briefcase and at home. I thought that Antman will never see his daughter again with that regulator activated. Movie could have been shortened as there are many unnecessary scenes in the early part of the film imo. Overall I rate this film 3.5/5. Looking forward for the antwoman sequel.

The dubsmash yung winner para sakin. :D

I'm also a big fan, but on the contrary I enjoyed the movie.

 

I watched it with my Bossing and she have no idea whatsoever of the story. Basta there are giants and spiderman squad daw.

Pero she really enjoyed it daw and can't wait for the part 2 this September.

 

I guess disappointing sya sa mga Otaku, pero at least non-fan were able to appreciate it.

 

Masyado magiging mahaba ang storya pag nag stick to original materials yun.

that is a great point. the movie has to cater to people who are seeing it for the first time.

and the material is still in progress.
