New MI is good but not the best.

First MI  was decent. Second  was laughable. Third can't even  remember, must  have been rubbish too.  No idea how  many there  are in total , but I won't be  watching any more .

Really can't  hack smug head Cruise  . It's like watching   Jeffrey Donaldson for 2 hours

The MI films have been quite good with the exception of 2 which was utter w**k. They are definitely better than the rubbish  Daniel Craig James Bond films. I liked bond when it was all a bit of fun but the more serious Craig films have been poor yet get good reviews .

Annihilation - what a load of rubbish. A solid 2/10 and I only give it a 2 because Natalie Portman is easy on the eye.
Tried to be too deep without the script to support it. Could have been good. But agree, one to forget.

I should have listened to you both, but I went with the 6.8 imdb rating.  Jesus, what a pile of shite.   2/10 with the extra star not for Portman (don't get the attraction, tbh), but for the excellent alien landscape visuals.

Two others to avoid:

Cocaine Croc (admittedly, it's a stoner movie and I wasn't stoned).

Megan (against my better judgment, I went with the reviews that said it nailed both the comedy and horror angles.  both claims are false).

I've never seen  a Bond film with Craig in it .  I've no  real desire to either.  Don't know what it is about him , maybe it's what  you say ,  he's too serious looking or  something.  I grew up mainly with Moore as Bond .  A bit of a laugh , with his ludicrous one liners , and silly gadgets.

I liked the  Bourne series (not the one without Matt  Damon).  Probably the closest  to Bond  films as you'd get

MI was just OK I'd say. Enjoyed some the chase sequence but I wasn't so fussed on a lot of the fight scenes. Overall the story is grand. I'll probably go see the 2nd part when the time comes.

Would 100% agree that second one was absolute garbage , but thought the the rest  of theMI films were good though (Also enjoyed the Craig bond films bar Quantum of Solace )

I liked Craig in Casino Royale and in Skyfall. The others were sh1te. That last one, I just gave up watching halfway through. Didn't see any compelling reason to keep watching.

First Mission Impossible was good at the time. Rest been poor enough. Daniel Craig Bonds aren't amazing but definitely better than the Mission Impossibles.

New Miles Morales poor enough, thought the original was very good so had high expectations.

Watched the Hudsucker Proxy recently, really bad too.

Yeah hudsucker proxy is probably  the worst Cohen Bros movie.

Blowitupref

Isn't Daniel Craig portrayal of James Bond closer to how Ian Fleming had him in his books?
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Watched a random film called Kid with a bike (ITVX - 2011 Belgian), good film, not a happy film, sad, a bit grim at times but worth the watching.

Watched the first 2 MI Films with my youngest son over the last 2 nights and they are still very good even after all these years and 2 was better than 1 imo. Watching No.3 tomorrow night but I remember not liking it at the time.
