I need to watch this silly film again, see how much I can tolerate now.
3 is the one I despise most. I can’t enjoy that one at all. A Bourne pastiche with soap opera plastered all over it.

I watch 1, 4, and 5 quite alot the other two films can be a chore. 3. Has its moments though not keen on the melodrama.
You must"t enjoy the love scenes in CR if you think mi3 is soap opera, ROFL. :))
I find 3 very difficult to get through due to the domestic angle. Sadly, it reminds me of TWINE. I'm not comfortable with metro heroes looking like they are about to break into tears over a woman.
Craig, due to his brutish and thuggish manly rugby player look, can get away with it.
You guessed right, Watson. Elementary, I say.
ROFL
Basically all the dialogue between Bond and Vesper is pretty cringey. Like how people say LTK has a televisual look, CR has love dialogue that sounds like it was off the set of a soap opera. :))
As an example, I didn't feel anything when he got slapped by Lucia in SP, but I felt it each time Brozza got slapped in his films, as though he was going to cry.
Actuàlly mi3 did it right, just like OHMSS. The key is too establish a connection early on. The worst mistake is introducing a "love of my life" character half way through the movie, and then scrambling to have them fall for each other as the run time ticks down. If they met sooner in the story, them growing close and spewing metaphors at each other wouldn't feel so out of left field. :) In the case of Ethan Hunt there is never any doubt from the start that the relationship is deep and meaningful. They get married in the first act. After that, there is more leeway that can be afforded for a certain type of dialogue. And mi3 isn't supposed to be taken as seriously as CR to begin with, it's a big summer popcorn film, and a very well executed one. CR has pretensions beyond that with its constant debates about "you want me to be half monk half hitman", and a exploration of who and what Bond truly is. It's tolerable, I just wished it wasn't something they picked up and ran with in the next installments. ;)
Appears to be the case! So impressive that he went through with it.
Cruise has proven that he can bring out the best in people and that he sees potential. Perhaps this is the film where I'm finally convinced that Cavill is ready for the big leagues.
Anyway, my opinion is not important and I'm keeping an open mind on him until I see MI:F
I very much intend to enjoy MI:F and Cavill in it. I honestly don't feel passionately about him one way or the other. In fact, I'm waiting for him to impress me because to a degree a part of me wishes he had been cast as Bond back in 2006 (I had seen Tudors and thought he might be a good fit). I even eagerly sought out The Cold Light of Day to see how he would fare in the spy genre.
One's impressions of actors can change of course. After all, George Clooney went through his head bobbing phase and overcame it. After seeing his Batman film I thought he was an awful actor, but then I saw Out of Sight and my perceptions changed.
Anything is possible.
As for Clooney, he's managed to do a 360 degrees turnabout for me. I first watched him in From Dusk Till Dawn (as I had zero interest in ER) then I caught him in Batman & Robin, a terrible movie. I liked him in FDTD, hated him as Batman. Liked him in Out of Sight, Three Kings and O Brother, Where Art Thou? Now I can't stand the man, head wobble or not.
