I became indifferent after that until I had kids who demanded to see them all, and suddenly I realized I love them all. Every single MI movie since 2 is absolutely phenomenal imo.
Yeah it's just that latest one I hadn't watched. I love all of them. What I liked about the first 5 is they all had different directors showcasing their distinctive style. Since McQuarrie took over they've felt the same and not as interesting IMO.

It's hard to choose my favourite between 1, 3 and 4.

As much as Malek resembled Freddie Mercury, Taron Edgerton has to be Scott Weiland in any biopic (if he was famous enough to deserve a biopic). It's uncanny that I think its him whenever I see him.

She is in witness protection because he is actually a serial killer that has been using CIA resources to cover his tracks until one day he slips up and his wife finds out.

I know where you're coming from, but Jason Bateman as a villain intrigues me.

It does look decent, the version from 1981 with John Savage was good as well.

It wasn't good with that lens when it came out, it's not good with that lens now.

Something looks off on the humans--not just Gerard Butler, but the kid--so I assumed it was a fake trailer. But I guess it's not?

HTTYD is about as perfect as an animated children's film gets. This looks like a virtual 1 to 1 remake but with less expressive human characters. The dragons even look the exact same.

Why?

Yeah this gets a big "Why?" from me too.

Haven't even seen the animated ones but I mean to. They're not even that old. Weird.

I know what looks off. It’s 2024 and the kid still has a 2010 Justin bieber haircut. It’s actually hilarious.

I think they should have kept Jay Burachel as the kid. That would be amazing.

It has that Hobbit CGI sheen to it. I know vikings weren't always dirty but these guys seem too clean.

As others have said, the dragons look identical which is throwing me off.

Why?
Dreamworks saw the billions being raked in by Disney with their live action remakes and wanted a piece of the pie. Live action Shrek is next!

This one looks a bit better than the first trailer. The humour still seems pretty flat, but who's kidding I'm gonna totally watch it.

Wow, the time between animated film and live action remake has shrunken considerably...
