Matthew Vaughn brings his comic book movie flair to a clever take on the "spy thriller". Does it work, or is it all style over substance? Here's my review for ARGYLLE!

To be honest, even in projects that end up not being good, I don't remember him being at fault. He was the best thing about the Witcher for example. And when the movie helps him, he's very good like in MI Fallout and Man from Uncle.

Is it the best spy film? Definitely not, but GOD damn it was so engaging and fun. I watched it with my mom and we were the only ones in the theater and they had recliners. We got to shout as loud as we wanted during the twists and I gotta be honest it was definitely one of the most fun movie going experiences I've had in long while. Will definitely be buying it on streaming later. Nice to see someone who isn't completely tearing this movie apart review it.

Mission impossible dead reckoning is the perfect example of having fun, not taking itself too seriously all the time but always respecting the audience and giving us action scenes that are hugely thrilling instead of stupid. Mathew Vaughn is trying to do mission impossible with none of the realism or good writing.

@Baronnax 4 ай бұрын

Eh, Dead Reckoning felt like a step down from Fallout. It dabbles with too many plot threads, throws in too many characters, and the final train sequence is 10 mins too long. Plus the way they disposed of Ilsa's story to set up a romance with Grace was absolutely awful.

@apoorv9587 4 ай бұрын

@LoganScottY 4 ай бұрын

@@Baronnax It's absolutely a step down from Fallout, also wasn't a fan of Ilsa's story being cut short, but I loved Grace's character and I didn't want the train sequence to end. The movie as a whole was absolutely stellar IMO. I doubt fallout will ever be topped but it doesn't need to be. Each to their own but the more I think about Dead Reckoning the more I appreciate it, especially the AI plot which in a 90's movie would feel unrealistic and silly, but it came out at the perfect time that it's scarily realistic.

Too much cgi is a result of studios avoiding on location which why? I mean yeah traveling is a pain, but the memories, and fun of shooting in real locations, also the audience would appreciate it more? CGI is an all too convenient way to do it, but the cost doesn’t justify over doing it. At least MI Cruise franchise gives Hollywood hope
