It’s a cute opening to the movie, but… it felt like an exposition dump? While pretending to be witty repartee? It was just a bit odd.
That’s some awesome… wig work.
So is this all about Tom Cruise? But doesn’t he do a lot of his own stunts?
Eep!
If there’s one thing huge audiences love, it’s a movie about making movies. I can’t think of any movie like this that has bombed, except all of them.
Yeah, it lost a lot of money. But not historically.
It’s cute and it’s amusing, but it just moves so slowly. The movie is 2h25m long, and it feels like all these scenes could have been cut. Even though they’re cute.
… oh! I’m watching the extended cut? It’s 20m longer than the proper version. Oops.
It seems pretty obvious what scenes were cut… like this one? I mean, I’m just guessing, but…
Heh heh
Heh heh
Yeah, OK, I like all the stunts and stuff — and they’re supposed to be all? mostly? practical — but the way they’re filmed, they just don’t pop like they should. I mean, most everything has been desaturated in the way movies are to match up real footage with CGI, so it’s just hard to be as enthusiastic as you’re supposed to be.
So, like, this looks 100% fake an embarrassing — but it might just be because of how it’s composited.
I dunno… The first half of this movie, I was on board, but then the last nine hours have kinda dragged? But then again, I’m watching the extended cut (which was a mistake).
Those are weird glasses. Did they CGI in the sky reflection in every shot?
These are the things you start wondering about when you’re not quite invested in the movie.
I’m totally willing to believe that the theatrical release of this was better, but I was just bored silly through large parts of this extended version.
But this movie just has a basic problem with the aesthetics. It’s supposedly a love letter to practical stunts — and there were a lot of them in this movie. But they all looked like shit! Because they were all colour graded into oblivion and composited, so even the realest stunt looked as bad as the cheapest CGI these days.
It’s like they had no confidence in the central concept of this thing but had to hedge.
