Bored so going to the flicks: 16 Blocks or MI:III? • Eurogamer.net • To be deleted • Eurogamer.net

The title says it all...

16 Blocks, the new Richard Donner/Bruce Willis 'Die Hard-me-do', or MI:III which is sure to be too loud, too long and just waaaaaaaay too stupid (much like the last one) but then again, might redeem itself somehow?

I've seen 16 Blocks. I enjoyed it. And I bet MI sucks.

I'd be tempted to see MI:III out of pure curiosity. Watched number two on telly the other night. Wasn't at all impressed.

Yeah, I do too. There's something about the trailer that says to me Style Over EVERYTHING and that really didn't work for it in the last film.

Colours are too punchy, cuts are too fast, Tom Cruise is a really annoying smug git in the MI films (even more than usual) and after everything I've read and seen of him since he started covering up his gayness with Katie Holmes I really don't like watching him much... But the film could still be alright... Anyone caught it yet?

Inside Man's good, although it has a slightly disappointing ending.

Yeah, different film from the two you mentioned but I haven't seen them.

Deleted user 6 May 2006 20:21:44

Inside Man is also an option, but there's no way I'm going to spend my money on a film that has a disappointing ending, and several people have said that about it.

MI:III is looking most likely at the moment, actually!

I thought inside man was very very good. Well worth watching.

Deleted user 6 May 2006 20:24:44

Yeah, but after all that speculation and hinting at it being something more than what it appears...

Deleted user 6 May 2006 20:29:12

Sod it, I'm off to see MI:III...

I'll just pretend that Tom Cruise hasn't allegedly imposed a strict diet on Katie Holmes to get her down to Hollywood Sex Symbol size again now she's dropped his "Look! I'm Not Gay" sprog.

Allegedly.

MI:III is actually superb! I saw it last night and I was very impressed; clever, well acted, well directed and it goes back to the original Mission Impossible source material, instead of a hollywood no-brainer with the title tacked on. The best movie I've seen at the cinema in a while.

MI:III has gotten good reviews so far. Apparently, it's supposed to be the best one so far.

It is, easily.

edit: I was seriously suprised at how good it is, I thought it would be a bit of crap tacked on to make up a trilogy, but no.

It's less Hollywood, very realistic (weapons and tactics) and very good. Go see it.

Another vote from me and the wife on M:I:3

It was good fun and the best of the 3 easily

Just saw M:I 3

Very good. And a few Lost/Alias references for the JJ Abrams fans.

What was disappointing about the end of Inside Man? I thought it was pretty good.
