Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol

[soccerfan777]

Just saw this movie... Not bad, not good either.... do not believe the
hype... it is not the best MI movie... And the heroine in the movie
cannot act if her life depended on it.

I don't understand the glowing reviews. Have the critics gone mad?

[Gracchus]

If you go to see any Tom Cruise movie, you deserve what you get.

[Iceberg]

it was a great film, saw it the other day, really enjoyed it. Good
story, adventure and action, very much liked the tallest building bit.
hey Raja, bet you loved the Indian scene, do see yourself as 'Anil
Kapoor' saying to your wife 'would you like to see my art collection'?
haha

[SliceAndDice]

The worst part of the movie was, unfortunately, watching Anil Kapoor
make an ass of himself. Enjoyable otherwise. Why have you Anil Kapoor
within quotes, though? Do you doubt his name?

[TT]

Critics have lost it long time ago. They used to write glowing reviews
of boring art films...now they write glowing reviews of mindless cgi
action garbage, such as Dark Knight.

[soccerfan777]

Dark night was much better. How come most of the big budget movies are
absolute crap these days

[soccerfan777]

Anil Kapoor really humiliated the Indians

IMDB.com

Movies with 8+ ratings are typically good. I have rarely been
disappointed.

[SliceAndDice]

Why did you not like The Dark Knight? I thought it was a terrific
movie.

Vijay, IMDB is quite reliable. But only for old movies. The new movies
will have a fabulous rating for about 5 years until they drop off in
the rankings... so for new movies most 2005 or so, they are not that
reliable...

[wastingtime]

Heath Ledger was good. But most of the things were over the top...
come on... the Djoker killing someone with a pencil... ridiculous...

That's the "Joker." Only tennis has a "Djoker." :)

After Heath Ledger died, it immediately became sacrilege to suggest
that his portrayal of the Joker wasn't one of the best performances in
the history of cinema. Ledger did a decent enough job, but he and the
movie were both overrated. I thought it was sprawling and longer than
it needed to be.

[Court_1]

Totally agree. Ledger's performance was overrated for sure as was the
movie.

The trouble with the IMDB is that ratings are extreme at one end of
the scale or the other. No matter what the movie is, some people will
say it's the best ever made and others will call it garbage. There are
very few balanced viewer reviews.

[Shakes]

How did they rate Iron Man (1st part) at the time ? I thought it was a
pretty good movie. The 2nd part was so-so.

[wastingtime]

I didnt like it. It was okay. I dont any of the recent Downey
movies... Tropic THunder was pretty good. Sherlock Holmes - 1st part
was horrible.
I didnt dare to watch Iron Man 2 and Sherlock Holmes 2

Sherlock Holmes 1/2 are very good...

[Iceberg]

I base all my movie ratings on what Giovanna says, as she her Twlight/
Lost reviews top anything on imdb.

[Iceberg]

crap like Tropic Thunder shouldn't be allowed in the same thread as
any Sherlock Holmes movie.

[Iceberg]

it was only overrated because Batman Begins was so hugely underrated.

I prefer "Batman Begins" to "Dark Knight," but even people who didn't
see the first movie tend to overrate the second. I attribute it mostly
to pre-release hype over Ledger's performance which exploded after his
premature death.

Have you seen Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC series of the

For an entirely different view of Sherlock Holmes, have people seen the

Considering that Basil Rathbone as Holmes goes back to 1939 (and there
were quite a few Holmes movies before that), I find calling the current
films "Sherlock Holmes 1 & 2" to be a bit odd. :-)

I absolutely HATE animation of ANYTHING !

However, I will download and watch a few episodes of the new
modernised BBC series and the 80's one to see if I can tolerate
them or not.

Yeah, try the modern update of Holmes with Benedict and Martin. I was
sceptical of the idea at first, but I really like the series now. Benedict
is extremely good. It's very well done and a lot of fun. Here's a snippet
from the "Scandal in Belgravia" episode aired last week.

John Watson (Martin Freeman), army doctor,
invalided home from Afghanistan, alone and friendless ...

Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch), the most
brilliant intellect of his generation, alone
and friendless ...

London 2010 - the best and longest friendship
in all of fiction is about to begin anew. The
most famous detective, the most baffling mysteries,
the most thrilling adventures and the deadliest foes,
are coming in out of the fog. Sherlock Holmes was
always a modern man - it was the world that got old.
Now he's back as he should be - edgy, contemporary,
difficult, dangerous.

Inspector Lestrade (Rpert Graves) is the best
Scotland Yard has got, but he knows he's not as good
as a strange young man called Sherlock ...

The world's favourite detective has come out of the fog.

[NOTES]

Sherlock was announced as a single 60-minute drama production
at the Edinburgh International Television Festival in August 2008,
to be broadcast in Autumn 2009, with the intention of producing a
full series should the pilot be successful. The BBC decided not
to transmit the pilot, as is common industry practice, but
commissioned three 90-minute episodes. On 10 August 2010,
it was confirmed that Sherlock has been renewed for a second series.

This is the 60 minute pilot

Childish stuff taking itself much too seriously... despite Batman
looking ridiculous in his rubbers suit. Poor storytelling and
irritatingly dim lighting.
I'd compare it to new Harry Potters, except Potters had even more
incomprehensible story.

Don't get me wrong...I do like superhero movies and films with violence...

[TT]

Iron man 1 was fair entertainment, imo. I do like superhero films a lot.

[TT]

I did watch it in entirety when it was shown here in 80's. Since then it
has been rerun numerous times.

I agree, Jeremy Brett is the best SH I've seen...brilliant for the role.

Animatrix wasn't bad. But it wasn't a direct animation of the story,
rather an extension.

Now if you want to see *real* animation, a somewhat forgotten sci-fi
masterpiece, try Fantastic Planet...it's FANTASTIC!
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070544/

It can be found on youtube. I myself found a HD version elsewhere... but
in this type of picture I really don't notice much difference between
low and high resolution...

They do that all the time. Just watch how many titles there are named
"Dracula" since 1931-

Now seriously, I recommend anyone with any interest in scifi watching
the above. It's pretty damn brilliant...and different.
