I'm so excited for this movie, and these reviews are getting me more and more antsy. I can't believe it's another two weeks away. It feels like one :(
It did? I recall the complete opposite happening.
I guess it´s possible he has some stunts done by a double, but that would be a secret kept tighter than who´s running the Illuminati. It would blow their whole public relations concept to pieces.

On a side note, that bathroom fight looks awesome. This is the sort of fight choreography that the last 2 Bond movies have been crying out for but sadly lacking. Let's hope Boyle is up to the task with his Bond 25.
This 100%
I would respectfully argue that the train fight in SP was terrific.
There's never any consequences to Bond being injured in Craig's era it would seem, particularly in SP: near death in that train fight, making love moments later. Being painfully tortured to the point that he shouldn't be able to walk or recognize anyone? That's nothing, he'll escape and gun down bad guys with expert precision just a minute later!
Up until recently, I did have some good things to say about SP, but now the newness has worn off... i'm struggling to think of something to like about it. Other than Bond walking across the rooftops while the Bond theme plays... there isn't anything.
And while i'm on the topic of SP, for all the talk of the big explosion, was it really that impressive? I don't believe it was. Mendes probably spent more on that one explosion than the entire budget of LTK, but the explosions during the Tanker chase look far more impressive.
Good point, and one I can't argue with.
I agree on the SP explosion. There are other more impressive explosions in the series.
When I first recorded GF on a Beta VCR the explosion of the drug warehouse made the picture flip. That's pretty impressive. And the explosion of the Disco Volante supposedly shattered windows in Nassau miles away. Those and the LTK explosion top the SP one just off the top of my head.
I've never understood the Cruise hate either as I've been a fan since his early work in films like Risky Business and The Outsiders when I was a teenager. It could stem from his being very successful, his outspoken support of Scientology or some of his bizarre behavior.
All I know is the guy is a completely devoted professional and brings the results to the screen. He seems like the kind of person if you were to meet him he would be genuine and friendly. Bring on MI Fallout and then the Top Gun sequel.
This 100%. I guess the hate comes from the fact that he can be "weird"? But who here isn't weird in their own way? From what I can tell, he's never done anything criminal, never gotten drunk and made a fool of himself, never gotten into a publicized shouting match on a project. It seems unanimous that he's one of the friendliest and most down-to-earth people to work with on any film set, and he's certainly one of the most devoted actors in the world. He doesn't give anything less than 100%. Plus, he's a terrific actor. IMO, he's one of our last great movie stars, and we'll never see another like him.
That said, he's got immense star power and I'll gladly watch a new MI film, as would most.
