Time for the Simon Pegg cinematic universe

Please no

He was insufferable in Rogue Nation

 

[guek]

Please no

He was insufferable in Rogue Nation

But he was great in Ghost Protocol!

Rogue Nation was such a step down from Ghost Protocol for me. I got about halfway through and never bothered to finish it. I know lots of people loved it but I can't see why, the whole thing felt so mundane.

I enjoyed both but also thought ghost was a far better movie

 

[wachie]

Ghotocol

 

[CaviarMeths]

That motorcycle chase scene in RN tho.

 

[The Hobo]

There are glimpses of a great movie in BvS but it's so bogged down overall. I did like that the film questioned whether Superman was a positive or negative force in the world but then all of the people asking those questions are blown up and it's forgotten about.

 

[broncobuster]

Both lose some of their momentum by the end. Watching Rogue Nation again with somebody the other night, there's the realization that it doesn't end after the dope underwater scene and motorcycle chase. It keeps going. Ghost Protocol has Dubai, again, dope scene. But then they're in India? And some bit in an automated parking garage?

 

[BronsonLee]

Yeah I'm watching RN right now and that underwater scene, fucking hell

I also like that RN had the stones to basically have Tom Cruise be stupid enough to cling to a plane as the goddamn opener

 

[Cooter]

I think MoS is better than SS and BvS (MoS was amazing, btw). Does that make me a bad person?

It makes you even more awesome if that's possible.

 

[tomtom94]

You know I was joking but now I want an Edgar Wright comedy where a load of Simon Pegg characters meet up and have adventures. Maybe a Spaced special or something.

 

[BumRush]

It makes you even more awesome if that's possible.

Thanks bud. I thought that opinion was the exception but it seems like many here have seen the light.

 

[Currygan]

That motorcycle chase scene in RN tho.

rather liked the turbine scene as well

yes I liked RN more than GP. Like, a whole lot more

 

[BronsonLee]

Ferguson is a straight up G too
I liked Paula but Ferg took it to another level

There is plenty of potential on all DCEU films. Maybe one day they will get there.

Rebecca Furguson > Paula Patton but she can't match Patton + Léa Seydoux

 

[BronsonLee]

Rebecca Furguson > Paula Patton but she can't match Patton + Léa Seydoux

My favorite moment in Ghost might just be Paula rolling in to crush Lea

Lea even has a gun but she knows a can of whoopass is about to come down

 

[Currygan]

Ferguson is a straight up G too
I liked Paula but Ferg took it to another level

Ferguson made Patton look like a complete bore, sexually speaking

those legs, those legs

 

[J_Viper]

Rebecca Ferguson tho Jesus Christ

We can all agree that both Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation have the worst villains in recent cinema, yes?

 

[Currygan]

there was potential for the Simon Pegg lookalike, though

GP has villains?

 

[BronsonLee]

I don't mind the RN villain, especially since he's such a little bitch about everything

 

[CaviarMeths]

Yeah idk now that I really stop to think about it, GP is like the 3rd best MI movie.

MI3 (come at me) > RN > GP > MI1 > literal feces > MI2

 

[bob_arctor]

Good Lord. I had forgotten about the legs. Perfection.

 

[3N16MA]

You guys are sleeping on Paula Patton.

Not in a good way.

 

[bob_arctor]

Not in a good way.

Not me!!

 

[hodayathink]

You guys are sleeping on Paula Patton.

Not in a good way.

I mean, Robin Thicke basically went nuts after she left him, that has to tell you something about the quality of the woman there.

 

[jman2050]

I don't mind the RN villain, especially since he's such a little bitch about everything

I love the scene near the end where Ethan literally talks the villain into submission, it's such a silly dramatic scene that only Tom Cruise can pull off because he's Tom Cruise.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Yeah idk now that I really stop to think about it, GP is like the 3rd best MI movie.

MI3 (come at me) > RN > GP > MI1 > literal feces > MI2

While the third act of MI3 is lacking, it has the best villain. He was genuinely threatening.

And I have no issue with your rankings, but might juggle the top 3 depending on my mood. But MI2 is definitely the bottom of the heap.

You guys are sleeping on Paula Patton.

Not in a good way.

Paula Patton for She Hulk. Please.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

Paula Patton for She Hulk. Please.

Saw Warcraft recently, I take it?

and MI5 was good, I liked it, didn't insult me, easily forgettable. Also did not turn lady into love interest, which I enjoyed.

 

[Chamber]

Yeah idk now that I really stop to think about it, GP is like the 3rd best MI movie.

MI3 (come at me) > RN > GP > MI1 > literal feces > MI2

MI3 is weak outside of Hoffman's character, it's the one movie in that series I have trouble watching again.

 

[BumRush]

Paula Patton > Ferg

 

[Schlorgan]

This thread took a weird turn. Par for the course, I guess.

I can only blame myself.

 

[AndyVirus]

I remember everything about Paula Patton's dress in India.

Patton for She Hulk has been a thing for years.

[PhantomX1313]

SS Extended cut dvd definite

 

[Timu]

I need to see this movie now!!!

 

[Mighty Chin]

Rogue Nation was awesome.

 

[BronsonLee]

I need to see this movie now!!!

It's on Prime right now

 

[Timu]

It's on Prime right now

That's awesome, I want to check this out!!!

 

[kurahador]

MI3 is a one trick pony like any other JJ Abrams movies.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

RFerg and Paula Patton MI spin-off please Paramount.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Which MI was it where Simon Pegg was literally damseled? I liked that.

 

[shintoki]

I mean, Robin Thicke basically went nuts after she left him, that has to tell you something about the quality of the woman there.

He went from Player to Simp, Hos on speed dial to Jimmy Johns, From HBO to Oxygen.

As for MI, MI3 is still the weakest by a country mile. It's dull and largely forgetful. Even MI2 as bad as it was, has a few great scenes and ridiculous fun. MI3 is barely recognizable from the other 20 action films that come out every year.

For rankings.

MI:RN > MI > MI:GP > MI:2 >>>>>> MI3

 

[kswiston]

You know that we have entered the slow box office period when you guys spend a page fighting over Mission Impossible movies when nothing remotely related to Mission Impossible in even in theatres.

Jack Reacher's around the corner!

 

[soultron]

Kubo might just be my favourite LAIKA picture yet. How the fuck did it have such a bad opening?

 

[Nappuccino]

So, Kubo was good. I hope this week's BO picks up a smidg for it--or at least doesn't drop too bad.

 

[karasu]

Ferguson made Patton look like a complete bore, sexually speaking

those legs, those legs

Nahhh, I did like how she reminded me of a young Charlotte Rampling though.
