Mission Impossible 2 (2000) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Today we continue with the MI movies and talking about the second one, which set the bar a bit down for this franchise. The second entry is the exact opposite of the first, with the former concentrating more on the thrills and suspense rather than special effects and action sequences and the latter aiming to please the hardcore fan of explosions with some eye popping special effects and action sequences, leaving the story far behind. 

How good of an action movie may this be it does not feel like a MI movie. It does not have the finesse and the poise of the first movie and future entries. It tried to combine the elements which made the first one good with some blockbuster action but we ended up with, only, the second part. 

And speaking of action sequences, the're done correctly and edited nicely, most of the time but, especially in the third act of the movie, it gets oversaturated and bloated with to many explosions and some over the top stunts that you would think Michael Bay directed the last portion of this film. 

We have new characters that are introduced here, with no exposition or very little and completely forgotten in the next movie/s. By my count, that is a totally useless maneuver. 

Undeniably, is the worst in the series but that does not mean you could not have fun with, if style over substance is your cup of tea. 6/10

OK guys, that is my review for today. Next up, the third one, which elevated the franchise. More on that tomorrow. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!

Wind River (2017) Movie Review

Wind River (2017) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! For today, I have prepared three new reviews for three movies, one was good and the other two not so much. So let's start with the good one and I mean this one, of course. If you have seen "Sicario" and "Hell or High Water" and you enjoy watching those movies you will certainly enjoy this one as well. And it is based on real events so it has that reality based element, which is going to make you appreciate this movie even more. It's smartly written, beautifully executed, with the environment playing a big part in inducing the viewer into the chilling atmosphere of the story. It's dramatic, filled with emotions, suspense and thrills and it will keep you invested from beginning to end. It has a fast pace and, although it has it slower moments, it does not get boring. On the contrary, it becomes more interesting. Love the cast, great cast and, of course, great performances ...

Escape Room (2019) Movie Review

Escape Room (2019) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Reviews #100%, the place where you can be nerdy about movies! So, just to be clear, this is not the ''A Star Is Born'' review as I promised and it is unlikely that I will still make that review. Instead of that, I have a review about a movie with an escape room, which, I guess, is more entertaining than a dramatic musical. Don't get me wrong, ''A Star Is Born'' is a very good movie, very emotional, dramatic and gripping, with some very good performances and beautiful songs. But we are here to talk about ''Escape Room''. Ever thought what would come out if you mix the style of the ''Saw'' franchise with the plot of an escape room? Well, we have the end result with this movie. The plot is as simple as it gets: six strangers find themselves in circumstances beyond their control, and must use their wits to survive. Which is what you have ...

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Movie Review

Mission Impossible 3 (2006) Review Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! Well, this is what I am talking about, if you want to make a great action movie but still keep the style and panache of the original. J.J. Abrams did it. He combined, successfully I might add, the stunts and special effects with the style that made the first MI so good. It does suffer in some departments, especially the script and character development but that is just nitpicking at this point. The visual effects are awesome, the action is great and fast paced giving you the right amount of time to breathe before it chuckles you again into the action. The acting is top notch with a very good villainy performance from P.S. Hoffman. There are some twists but, sadly, are predictable and a bit similar to the one from the first movie.  However, looking past the little flaws, there is no denying that this movie was a step up, a huge step up from the previous one, setting the bar for wha...
