Revolutions. I swore I'd never watch this again. An obviously bad film, and theatrically everyone was in a stunned silence of disbelief. Really this is just the second half of the same film as both sequels were shot simultaneously. But this one has all of the really bad elements. I thought it couldn't be as bad as I remembered. There is no redeeming quality to this junk. It is terrible, badly written, pathetic, meandering, nonsensical, mindless and complete stupid in every conceivable way. Words cannot even begin to describe the depths of it's absolute stupidity in every conceivable element of filmmaking.
Zero balls. Ball-less crap. Worse than any of the prequels. And that's saying something.

Stop being so vague and tell us what you thought of it.

Don't worry, big review of both sequels coming...but after all these years I still can't fully wrap my head around what they were thinking on Revolutions. It's just so unbelievably uninteresting.

How would they do the rumored sequels with Neo though?

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

I went in thinking, "This got pretty good reviews, it can't possibly be as lame as MI:3." (which I thought was okay, but rather tepid.) I was wrong. This is a film that decides to never really involve the viewer, and never really gets up off the ground to anything of much interest. The story is really pointless and serves as a way to get from one over CGI'd action sequence to the next. At least the awful MI:2 had John Woo to make some great looking action setpieces. I can't actually decide if this is worse than that or not. In the end it's just pretty darn lifeless and reminds me that the first film was really good for a summer blockbuster. It had spies, who did some spying...and the ending cameo in the fourth entry makes you yearn for just a truer espionage sequel like the first film.

Saw this in a second run theater, in which the 35mm print looked great. (Save for the CGI which stuck out like a sore thumb.) Much better than any digital presentation around. And what's with the whole, "we shot 5 minutes in IMAX" gag? Just swallow the cost and do the whole thing!

1.5 balls out of 4 "Tom Cruise needing a career boost"s.
