Wait, they shot both films at the same time? That's nuts, no wonder it makes no goddamn sense.

Yeah, there was like a two-week break between the two movies but it was essentially a gigantic yearlong shoot in Atlanta.

What happened to Jeremy Renner's character? I know he didn't die, but he was like, pretty okay as a bureaucrat-ish. I hope Rebecca Ferguson takes over the MI franchise, though. She was great in the last one.

Renner was too busy not taking over from Damon in the Bourne franchise and not being in the Avengers to continue not taking over from Cruise in the MI franchise.

e: Wind River was pretty good though

MI2 loving owns, nerds. You got a classic John Woo dove scene with Tom Cruise and you're still whining?

MI2 is a fun movie, but it's really, really, REALLY stupid, and PG-13 Woo is kind of inherently lovely

like, I'll watch it if it's on TV but if I'm actively seeking out a movie to watch and I'm craving some Woo, I'm going to go for literally any other one of his movies except Paycheck and maybe Red Cliff over MI2 (and that's not even a knock on Red Cliff, it's just... weird for him)

M:I3 has Hoffman, who is obviously very good, but it doesn't have a lot that wows me. The team is boring and gets jettisoned before the ending and the big, supposedly impressive stunt shot of Hunt being blown into a car by a missile's explosion shockwave has never looked right. M:I2 is dumb but it's so much more fun.

Because he's filming John Wick 3, and was probably prepping for it when he filmed this. (This is about the beard.)

He could mentally be John Wick as well, and there's probably a deleted scene where he suddenly mimes shooting several extras in the head with finger guns.

M:I3 is actually my favorite. Best villain of the franchise, most emotionally resonant story with Michelle Monaghan's character and Ethan not being allowed to have a life, the best written dialogue of the franchise, putting tension and suspense over pure action, some great Cruise acting/running moments, my favorite setpiece with the Vatican break-in which feels like clockwork, and say what you want about the JJ mystery box but the whole rabbit's foot McGuffin worked like gangbusters for me. I mean, come on. The Anti-God? Dope.

The only thing I didn't like was the "love will start a heart" cliche at the end and giving Maggie Q nothing to do.

Thing is, I still like it as an action movie on its own. The stuff that knocks off points for me is relative to the other movies when it comes to ranking them.

The simple answer is probably that certain actors (thinking RDJ in particular) have gotten a ridiculous level of creative control, the Russos aren't talented enough or powerful enough to stand up to them and Marvel will back its stars uber alles.

By the way the writer/director for Destination Wedding, Victor Levin, wrote for Mad Men and Larry Sanders Show.

Doesn't guarantee it will be good, but it's promising.

Although his main TV writing credit is for Mad About You (he wrote 24 episodes)
