THE BIG RED ONE is a must too!
One heck of an action film. Flat-out action from start to finish, hardly any time to catch your breathe between the Moscow prison escape, to the Kremlin infiltration, the Dubai tower climb, the sandstorm car chase to the climax in Mumbai. Tom Cruise is a total legend, and the rest of his team is very good too - Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton. Great soundtrack, insane stunts/action scenes, and a very cool plot makes M:I:4 one of my favorite action films of the decade so far.
You've never seen T2..@FoxRox ?
One of the greatest action films ever made! You're in for a treat!
True Lies is also an awesome action film.
No coincidence they're both directed by James Cameron
These are all superior and legendary films which will be remembered for years to come.
I have to watch all of these again shortly.
Udo Kier is Baron Frankenstein planning to create a perfect race by mating his male and female zombies. He needs a male with a major sex drive and perfect nasum so he and his assistant (Arno Juerning) make their way to the local brothel and behead their target. Unfortunately they accidentally choose an aspiring monk.
It's pretty funny and shot in 3D with organs, liver, stomachs, hearts, etc thrust into the camera. Udo Kier is amazing here as The Baron, and would immediately follow this with his unusual performance as Dracula in ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA.
Still this cult film is definitely an acquired taste. It's either loved or loathed.
One of my favorites- and the Dracula film is even better!
Can't argue with any of those. Make that another.
Either way, you'll love it!
12 years on, I am still amazed at how 'modern' the film looks. From the moment Matt Damon demolishes his 2 Naples interrogators in 1 second flat, the action simply is breathtaking. That brutal fist fight in the Munich apartment, the Berlin night-time footchase, to the insane Moscow car chase, this film could well have been made in 2016. Wall-to-wall action for 100 minutes, for me this was the first 'true' 21st century action film - I realize there is 'Bourne Identity', but 'Supremacy' is the first IMO that just pushes the limit in terms of amount of action in a single film. Matt Damon is a force to be reckoned with as Bourne, from his intense acting to the sheer physicality in the action scenes, he joins Cruise's Ethan Hunt and Craig's James Bond as my ultimate action stars of the past 16 years (outside of my love for 60+ years old action heroes, of course).
This was the first Bourne outing I saw on the big screen, and I still remember that day almost 10 years on. It totally blew my socks off. And, of course, little did I know at the time I would get a similar excitement with 'Taken' a few months later. This film continues the wall-to-wall action template of 'Supremacy' and goes even further. The amount of action scenes in this one is off the charts. From the fantastic Waterloo Station sequence, to the Tangiers sequence (probably my favorite chase scene of all time) to the incredible climax in New York, this film is basically huge action set-pieces one after the other for 1 hour and 50 minutes. Matt Damon is the king of badasses here, he literally tears down goons all over the world without breaking a sweat. I really enjoy the soundtracks in these Bourne films, they really fit the mood and style of the trilogy.
Hands down one of the worst movies I've ever had the misfortune of watching. Not an iota of enjoyment to be found here, unless you like movies that are bloated, filled with piss poor CG and acting abilities that make the likes of Jai Courtney look like a thespian.
Indeed it is. I thought about rewatching that one (haven't seen it since I was a kid) before this, but I recall not enjoying that one, either, so figured it'd be an even bigger waste of time.
To be honest though I think David Arnold and Will Smith help give that film charm.
Same. Even spending one penny to see this would've been a huge loss.
At this point I'm afraid to, lol. Nostalgia is a tricky bugger. Better to save the good memories, right?
I haven't had this much fun in a long time. In my top 3 of 2016 so far. The main 7 guys were fantastic. Great chemistry between them. Denzel Washington as badass as ever, a cool-as-ice Chris Pratt, Lee Byung-Hun's was off the charts in his charisma, Vincent D'Onofrio was a scene stealer. Thrilling action, a very high body count, tons of shootouts. The final climax is 25 of fun and epic mayhem. Denzel is the friggin man, I now can't wait for 'The Equalizer 2', his next film with director Antoine Fuqua.
That happens to me quite a bit, too. Sometimes the movie is so different what one is expecting one is just in the wrong frame of mind for that particular movie at that particular time, or one is too tired or something. I know when it's the case of "I need to re-watch this another time" (and so I will) and when it's the case of "this movie just isn't for me" (and so I won't bother with it again).
Glad to hear you enjoyed it this time. It's a great movie, with great performances. I really like the score, too, and never had any issues of it not being from the period the movie is set in. Somehow ragtime just suits it.
Oh yes, he is indeed. And that's a childhood movie favorite for me and I still love it.
True.
You haven't seen Dirty Dozen? Get onto it! :)
Indeed, romantic comedies often used to be excellent. Nowadays they're mostly just embarrassing, sadly.
On top of that I'm watching Dick Tracy again.
Really awesome films. Both are jam-packed with thrilling action scenes and very charismatic leads - what a sight to see Stallone, Arnie and Willis side by side machine gunning everything that moves. The tank vs cars sequence on the high way in Furious 6 is off the charts - especially that badass moment when Vin Diesel jumps in the air to catch Michelle Rodriguez.
@DaltonCraig007, the ball-busting in those films is off the charts, whether it's the running joke about Tyrese's forehead or Hobbs being teased about baby oil. They've all got really great chemistry together, and The Rock, Tyrese and Ludacris are especially amusing to watch.
