Agreed, this is my favorite Cage movie.
The second one is Face Off, and the third is National Treasure. xP
British version is so much better. This is a cringe fest, especially the live moments.
I think this is the best procedural of the 2010s. Spader is the show, he's just phenomenal and owns his role. The action is top notch, especially for network TV. Most of the stories of the week and villains feel special and unique, in fact, I think it's safe to say that the stories of the week are actually better than the larger story arcs. It's an amazing procedural because it does all the procedural things so well: great weekly stories, great weekly characters, and a very strong and likeable lead in Spader.
World Premiere Review - 4/19/17
Still a lot of fun, but suffers from sequelitis. Bottom line, you'll have a ton of fun with this, especially if you're familiar with the backstory and characters. The most common problem is slow pace. Scenes go on for too long. Second, the tone is all over the place to where its slightly confusing. I can't imagine what it must feel like watching this if you're not familiar with the material. Music is used perfectly as the first one did. It's enjoyable and fun and that's all I expect from movies like this.
Stray observation: Stallone can barely get his lines off without having a stroke...he can't possibly keep getting casted because he's the best person available...
The characters are just stupid...I constantly root against them and cheer on the hordes. As long as Victor Strand is alive I'll keep watching.
I am a fan of Michael's and was sad to see him leave NCIS so I was excited to see him lead his own show, that said while its an ok show I too don't see much renew potential. The main character also seems rather isolated without any real connections to other characters, despite being surrounded by them, I am hoping that develops more as the show progresses.
These old Bond films just do not hold up well. Sean Connery's one-liners never get old, but good god the pacing is horrendously slow and action is repetitive. The Connery Bond films are just, SET PIECES: THE MOVIE. If have to watch one more blast door or rocket silo open, I'm gonna Xenia an Onatopp.
AWESOME. If people didn't like the first one, why do they even bother to watch the second? I really liked this sequel and I DO understand the hype about this franchise. And Max is actually one of the best Mel Gibson's characters ever.
When do we go for a ride?
Just got back from the world premiere. It's a lot of fun and thoroughly entertaining. Classic Marvel humor and tone, amazing visuals, Benedict Cucumber is stellar, but there are a few story flaws and the MCU is really starting to feel formulaic (I'm probably just suffering from franchise burnout).
WTF? Is this pretentious bullshit for real?
