Well, there's a lot of positive comments about the stunts and not a lot about the story.

 

Reminds of the BR2049 reviews where ereryone talked about the visuals and not much else.

 

Dont expect reviewers who liked CMBYN to overly enjoy this type of movie.

It's not like CMBYN had an intricate plot. 

 

The plot in these movies doesn't matter. I feel like 4 or 5 of these MI movies are about Ethan going rogue after his own agency turns on him lol. It just needs to string together enough sense to get from one crazy set piece to the next.

Unanimous Critics raving a movie to the heavens should be huge red flag for audiences tho.

Yeah, I'm just saying, some reviewers don't give great marks to this type of movie, cos they are snobs basically.

How much does Tom make for these movies? I feel like it should be a lot.

Had the time it was one of the biggest contract ever (getting a rare for the time 100% video clause), making it possible to make 100m on a movie

Apparently on the third one, seeing how much more Cruise was making than the studio it changed apparently, but it must be still the nice back end deal.

 

The rumors (or maybe he got known since) for MI 2 was:

For Mission Impossible 2, Cruise’s cut of the theatrical gross increased to 30% and he also got 12% of the total video/DVD receipts with no expenses deducted by Paramount.

 

That is quite impressive, normally the point you get on home video is on 20% of the home ent gross, getting 12% of 100% of the revenues and around that era when dvd got extremely huge, was quite a lot.

His blurb make it seem like his problem is cruise and not the movie. Shouldn't review movies professionally if you can't put personal feelings aside

 

Movie reviews are inherently personal. Critics aren't robots; it's hard to critically evaluate a movie without having actual, personal opinions on the subject.

Have to disagree, It's no different than being a judge at the Olympics or a referee at the world cup. You put personal feelings aside and judge without biases, that's the job

How exactly do you watch movies?

[The Futurist]

Tom Cruise 's biggest movie since Oprah is MI4 with 240 adjusted.

His three biggest movies post Oprah and War of the Worlds Scientology heavy press tour are his three  Mission Impossible movies.

When he s not Ethan Hawke, he sttruggles to pass the 100m mark.

 

So 250m should be seen as the best MI6 can do.

 

300m would be really huge.

It's not some niche genre or an A24 horror. It's a big budget action, so it should  be fine.

A movie review is a lot what did you personally feel when judging it and is impossible to not take them into account nor would most of your reader you developed a relation with would want you to do.

 

Referring a world cup is quite different.

judging a movie based on merit and not personal feelings about the actor involved?

I think there's a big difference between judging a sport (where there are set rules and guidelines) and critiquing films, which are always gonna fall to subjective tastes and preferences. There's no such thing as objectivity in art.

Glad to hear reactions are great. Probably my second most hyped tentpole for the rest of the year.

Obviously not with personal feeling about the actor involved even too it is impossible for an human to know and really control any of that, but personnal feeling about the movie you just watched yes.

[That One Girl]

about to see Skyscraper.  very excited to objectively assess the artistic merit of the film, and will reject any ridiculous imagery such as The Rock fighting a building with an artificial leg.
