Mission Impossible - Dead Recognizing (2025)

 

Okay you have got me started on reviews again. I just finished watching the new Mission Impossible - Dead Recognizing, with Tom Cruise of course.

It would be easy to point out that each new Mission Impossible movie adds a new benchmark for what you judge each new one by. But the reality is, they've all been pretty damn amazing slices of blockbuster entertainment in their own distinctive ways. Yes, everybody derides the second Woo-helmed entry, but it was still the highest grossing film of the year (something none of the other instalments have achieved), and, if nothing else, proved the unexpected versatility of this Cruise-led behemoth.

So as we come to The Final Reckoning, it's probably best not judging it as to whether or not it's the 'best' entry in this repeatedly, sometimes successively, impossible-to-beat saga, and instead just seeing it as a fitting finale to 30 years of ferocious filmmaking and at-times insane commitment to the world of grandstanding stunts and Big Screen entertainment, tirelessly championed by its star, Tom Cruise.

The Final Reckoning isn't merely paying tribute to all the movies that came before it, it somehow manages to draw valuable threads from all of them together, with one truly emotional reference that works on multiple levels - for not only the films' earlier characters but actually the original TV shows. 

But Cruise has still done the impossible, for the eighth time, making a (supposedly) final mission which is likely never ever going to be topped, which has practical stunts and physical commitment that no other person - let alone actor - on the planet would ever even consider, which no studio in this age of VFX (and, ironically, AI) would ever even think necessary, and which all comes together for the kind of blockbuster the likes of which we may never see again on the Big Screen. There's something truly grand about that, and, for all its flaws, this one deserves a respectful nod of resounding approval in all they've managed to pull off. The year won't get bigger - and certainly won't get grander - than Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.

 

A great movie, and two thumbs up from me... 🥰

I've got series 1 of Kevin can F himself to rewatch.

 

Great show and the lead actress, 

This is the hidden content, please
 is superb. A much deeper character than her $hitts Creak one, as if that was difficult 😆

 A really good drama. Well worth watching both series. As long as you see it as a drama not a sitcom (IMDB reviews)

 I was going to upload it, as the search function still doesn't work for me I couldn't see if it was already here. But. as I've been blocked from uploading guess that isn't happening.

As this is being advertised all over AppleTV I thought I would give it a go.

This is the hidden content, please

 

Two estranged siblings join forces to seek the legendary Fountain of Youth. Using historical clues, they embark on an epic quest filled with adventure. If successful, the mythical fountain could grant them immortality.

 

 It was a really enjoyable film. Not the most in depth  characters or plot, just a good old fashioned adventure. Some bits of humour, different locations and a mythical quest.

  It reminds me a bit of Indiana Jones, Goonies, Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile and the ilk.

 I recommend it if, you have 100 minutes for a film.

If you have never seen this series, do so immediately!
I recently discovered it and loved it.
It is a comedy that follows the adventures of Ingmar Andersson, a former stuntman, and Axel Kruse, a DJ, two private detectives who solve cases in Los Angeles. The plot revolves around them as they tackle various mysteries, competing with Ingmar's rival, the brilliant investigator Jane McKinney, and try to deal with their personal problems. 
It may be a bit demented, but the cast is outstanding and there is no shortage of hilarious gags.
