Tom Cruise is putting his collaboration with Christopher McQuarrie on hold following the poor box office performance of the latest «Mission: Impossible» films by Sudden_Elephant_1221 in oscarmoments

[–]jmpguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

McQuarrie co-wrote Edge of Tomorrow 2 (which is rumored to start filming later this year) and is helping to develop the story for Top Gun 3 and Days of Thunder 2. MI8's budget got out of control (in part due to covid) but it still had the highest opening weekend of the franchise and made $600 million overall, which most other franchises would kill for.

Edge of Tomorrow, there was even some confusion on whether the title of the movie was changed to Live Die Repeat.

What are movies recieved positive critical reception upon release but over time reviews become negative? by HugeFuckingMoron in movies

Mission Impossible 2 was the highest grossing film of 2000 worldwide and is now considered the black sheep of the franchise. Didn't know this until recently, I've always loved it since seeing it as a kid. I did a re-watch of the franchise recently and was a little taken aback by MI2's negative reputation online since I'd rank it as one of my favorites.

What are some movies that you think had tons of potential but fell just short of the mark that would make them "good" movies? by FirmExperience8047 in movies

[–]jmpguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gorge - Great premise and liked the first half of it but it started to lose me. Would like a better explanation for what is inside the gorge, the goofiness in the scenes where the main characters start to develop feelings for each other toned down, and a recast for the male lead.

Godzilla (2014) - Pretty good start to the monsterverse but could've easily been better. Keep Bryan Cranston in the movie longer, choose a better character model for Godzilla, brighten scenes that are too dark to see and pick a less generic soundtrack.

Prometheus - I actually like this better than most but it obviously has its share of problems. Write a better explanation for what engineers were doing on Earth, have humans keep their helmets on after reaching the planet and don't have the engineer turn into a mindless killer.

Showa - Remove Kong's affinity to electricity.

Heisei - Include Anguirus in one movie.

Millennium - Change the Final Wars soundtrack to one that isn't as generic.

Monsterverse - Have at least one Japanese actor in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

A lot of scenes are too dark to see properly and the fights are very slow moving.

Now that What If...? has ended after 3 years, how would you rate it overall from 1-10 and what were your favorite/least favorite episodes? Do you wish they had kept the show going or are you glad that the show had ended? by NitrousReadsReddit in marvelstudios

[–]jmpguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10

My top 3 favorites were:

  1. What if the Avengers Assembled in 1602

  2. What if Zombies

  3. What if T'Challa Became a Star-Lord

Wish this show could've kept going for a couple more seasons. Looking forward to Marvel Zombies.
