MuckleMoo Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Released in cinemas on the 25th of this month the film is getting rave reviews from critics who have seen it. Still got fond memories of sneaking into the cinema to see the first one as I was underage at the time. Thinking that this will be one of those films that has to be seen on the big screen to fully appreciate it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) I presume Tom Cruise will play the part of Tom Cruise, which allows him to avoid acting and simply look like a c**t on screen. Pretty much like every other film he has been cast in. Edit: While the lad is an awful actor, I should add that he's been in some great movies, and that his stunt work is really impressive. Just shame he can't act (and is a religious nutjob). Edited May 13, 2022 by Ric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) The original is class. Peter Bradshaw in the Guardian wrote quite a funny review of the new one focusing on how there is no homoeroticism in the new one and the comments are full of Mike from Spaced types who are incredulous about Top Gun being smeared as gay. Very entertaining. No Cruise slander here please. If he's good enough for Stanley Kubrick he's good for the Pie and Bovril General Nonsense Television and Film sub forum.

Did it for Spider-Man:No Way Home, and bouncing about in the seat while he was swinging through NYC was tremendous. Can only imagine how good a 4G negative dive will feel, even if it can't fully invert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Science Centre IMAX is going to be showing it, think I’ll be taking a trip to see it on the big screen. Only been waiting for about 2 years for its release 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Tom Cruise is one of my favourite actors so I can't wait for this. That is all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Really surprised at how good the reviews are for this, didn't think they'd be able to pull it off.Give him his dues Cruise is a very good actor with an incredible work ethic. Despite how much of an oddball he may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many movies have flopped at the box office since Covid that I think any film that might get more people back in cinemas will get some hyperbole from reviewers. Apart from kid's films, MCU pish, Bond, Batman and Dune almost every big release has struggled to make its budget back.

This is an absolute must watch if you haven't seen it, incredible that Channel 4 didn't get their arse sued to the moon and back when this was aired about 15 years ago. And if you haven't seen the Elton John episode that's ten times as outrageous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't act apart from films like Rain Man, Born on the 4th July, Jerry Maguire, Magnolia, Collateral...he has made some mad choices and a few turkeys but when he tries he can definitely act 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Eyes Wide Shut is peak Cruise. Letting Stanley Kubrick destroy his marriage over a two year shoot at the peak of his fame to make a masterpiece of a film that made absolutely no sense to the public when it was released. All because he loves movies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Really enjoyable film can see why people are being so positive about it, probably partly because there was not much expected when this was originally announced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky monkey Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Great fun movie. Action scenes are, as expected, phenomenal. We went to Showcase Linwood where every showing was a sellout, so great news getting folk back into cinemas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinky67 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Loved it and going back on Sunday. Was a huge fan of the original and without doubt was the film that had a huge influence on me joining the armed forces. The sequences in the jets are insane, lots of nostalgic moments but not so much that it feels like a reboot. The first 10 minutes I just sat with goosebumps and was everything as a fan I hoped it would be Edited May 27, 2022 by Jinky67 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
