My Amazing Introduction To Mission Impossible

 





My apologies to all fans of this franchise, but I have never seen any of the other "Mission Impossible" movies, this is my first. I had nothing against them, In fact I've always thought they looked kind of amazing. I just never cared enough to actually watch them. Basically, I saw this to expand my film knowledge in hopes that it makes me a better writer. 

So basically, Ethan is dawned with the tasks of getting a key that controls an incredibly powerful AI known as "The Entity". Unfortunately, the entire world is after this key as whoever gets the key basically rules the world, though this thing is more manipulative than everyone (except our main characters) thinks. Ethan basically has to deal with Community agents, an old enemy, a professional thief and a mind-game playing AI throughout this entire movie. 

I apologize if my summary isn't to great, I don't really know how to explain this movie without spoiling it. With that being said, this movie was great. Completely action packed from beginning to end, but I pretty much expected that. What impressed me the most about the movie is that even in the mellow parts of the movie, you're still at the edge of your seat. The acting was so well done and the writing was so intriguing that you couldn't help but feel every emotion that each character was going through. Very well done. Not that the action itself wasn't great. In fact, it was kind of amazing. But it stressed me OUT. I will never understand how anyone was able to deal with this for 7 movies straight without having a heart attack. I would complain about the pacing, but as we got deeper into the movie, I realized that the pacing was needed for the impact on the movie as well as the characters and it truly added to the build up of certain moments in the movie. So I'll leave the pacing alone

I really enjoyed the characters. I understand the appeal of Simon Pegg as he was hilarious. Grace was problematic but likeable, especially towards the end. Ilsa was cool, and I now understand the full extent of Ethan's awesomeness as well as his humanity. Gabriel I wanted to punch in the face. "The Entity" maybe unseen, but it was a very compelling villain. It's ironic that the whole world wants to control it, but the movie made it clear that it was in control. This thing was playing mind games with everyone. It made everyone question what was the right call and It knew people's weaknesses (especially Ethan's, which put the people he loves at risk).  Even Gabriel, who thought he was in control was being played by this thing. Literally almost everything it thought was going to happen came true. I am genuinely afraid of this thing and I'm not even sure if I wanna know what it's gonna do in the next one. DO NOT screw with "The Entity"!

This was a great movie, and I now have to give the other ones a shot. I most likely will not watch all of them cause there are way too many. But it's still worth a watch. Thanks for reading.

So.......The Bride😕

So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights  (...

Last Minute Music Reviews

  So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1;   Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued.    Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you.   How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...
