From Spain, sorry for my English. Is a really big, BIG MISTAKE in this movie when Anthony Hopkins Talks with Tom Cruise About Spain. The director , the producers and the screenwriters should have been better informed. They mix two celebrations, which do not seem, from two different cities, which are nowhere near. In Sevilla they celebrate (La SemanaSanta), in which they make processions with saints. But they don't burn anything!!!In Valencia, they celebrate (Las Fallas), there is fire, but nothing of saints.They burn cardboard and wooden figures that represent a satirical critique of topical issues. It is as if some Spaniards made a movie in America and say that on Thanksgiving Day children are dressed as turkey and go around the houses doing trick or treat

[@andromedasgarden]

While I respect the intent of your comment, now I really want a holiday where kids dress as turkeys to go trick or treating. That sounds really cute and really absurd at the same time.

[@geoffreypeterson8903]

I didn’t know people disliked the first Mission Impossible movie. The plot was an interesting twist on the spy genre, regardless of the original tv show. And the infiltration scene of the computer server room, with Cruise hanging from the roof, is now culturally iconic.

[@MythicSuns]

and even if it wasn't, nobody can deny that the infiltration scene in that movie was directed and shot perfectly, you could really feel the tension throughout the whole scene, the only flaws with the scene were minor though, like Ethan catching the sweat drop with a move that in real life would involve breaking a few bones to accomplish. Or that one shot where you can see one of the backstage people adjusting the rope that Ethan is rappelling from (around the 1:48 mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/oV7Sh6iHpc96adUm48s )

[@johnjsal]

I don't think it was so much that people didn't like it, but more that they were confused by the plot because it was more complex than most action movies. (It's really not that hard to follow if you pay attention though.) I believe that's why they changed directors and had a much more simplistic story in the second movie, but that didn't work out so well either. I remember my initial reaction when I saw it in theaters -- basically that it was more style over substance, pretty much the opposite of the first movie. That, and way too many uses of the masks!

[@donjohnson8120]

People will complain about everything. The first film was considered too confusing, the second film had a thin plot, the third film was too dark, etc. Tom had said from the beginning that he preferred a different director for every episode so it can be different from sequel to sequel.

[@supastar25]

What? That's news to me I always thought people loved it...sure it doesn't have as much action as the others but it was a great espionage movie

[@climber6420]

Original fans didn't like it cause the only character from the TV show turned out to be the bad guy

Colored lightbulbs can have different effects on different organisms. For example, plants will not have any response to a light with a green wavelength (495-570nm and/or 526-606 THz) whereas most, if not all, wavelengths will cause the plant to react (photosynthesis, etc.) That is why scientists like colored light bulbs.

For those who keep mentioning The Last Samurai, NC never said it was bad. He just included it as a joke about Tom Cruise stroking his ego. As he said, MI2's non-boring parts are actually all the "very big penis" moments. lol

[@promontorium]

jp3813 My issue is that he like many others gets it wrong in the most SJW way. Cruise wasn't teaching anyone anything, and HE wasn't the last Samurai. Samurai, plural, the last of them were portrayed in the film. A real historical event where a Samurai master gathered warriors from across Japan to protest modernization laws and they had an epic and tragic final battle against the police, who had overwhelming numbers and firepower.

[@jp3813]

+promontorium It's mostly the marketing that really gives that impression. When you see a poster of Cruise that says "The Last Samurai", it's too easy of a target for comedians like Paul Mooney to tear it apart. Note that it takes inspiration from Dances with Wolves, which didn't face the same criticism.

[@ressljs]

You could argue that his comment about The Last Samurai was about people's (misinformed) reaction to Tom Cruise being in a movie with Samurai, and not the movie itself. NC was going over the public perception of Tom Cruise in that part of the video. And half the shitstorms in the world are centered on people not knowing what they're talking about as opposed to an actual problem.

[@jp3813]

+ressljs Then again, it's possible that Doug himself is among those misinformed people. He's no stranger to the Top 11 Fuck-ups, after all.

[@ressljs]

Perhaps. I started with "You could argue" because I'm not sure what his intention was. Maybe he's playing 4D chess, and triggering this discussion in the comments was his plan all along... Hmm... I'm not sure I want to give him that much credit.

Nic Cage as a sunset is my new favorite thing.

[@jollycritic6766]

Justice league pls

[@Terra_1998]

ROB MUST SEE MAMAMIA 2 AND GIVE US HIS REACTION!

[@patrickrobinsob1464]

Terra1998 the 2nd one is better. I believe that they will do what Tamara did. They’re gonna go into it already wanting to hate it, and they won’t enjoy it. Also the movie is at an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and Doug already got enough hate for reviewing Deadpool 2 which is also sitting very highly on RT.

[@agentprime2179]

The first one was confusing though I wasn't bothered by Jim Phelps being the bad guy because I never saw the show but I can Understand people being upset. It's like if Captain Kirk was revealed to be a bad guy in the 2009 Star Trek. But did he say MI III was boring because I remember liking that one quite a bit though the next two installments were much better.

[@JenniferBrigitteOpticalVortex]

MI 3 had the best opening in the series of all time!

[@thefirstbourne149]

+Jennifer Brigitte ...just not he best opening credits.

[@adderz8619]

"Tom Cruz-ified himself" - bloody amazing.... 😂😂😄😂

[@tbirdUCW6ReAJ]

Adderz B Doug actually got that from Mind of Mencia. Irony.

[@juliadiaz3761]

20:39 all the glasses in my house shattered.

[@ShinySephiroth1]

I really do like the fact that they acknowledge his amazing acting roles at the end (but of course, we can't let Cruise hear that, LOL!)

[@MrBamason]

I’m binge watching the mission impossible films, but I’m counting this as watching the second movie

[@7uring]

+Mr Bamason I mean yeah, most i depth reviews like that are pretty much like watching the movie. At least the parts the receiver wants to point out. Like, watch a CinemaSins and a CinemaWins review back-to-back. two completely different views of the same film lead to two completely different movies.

[@557deadpool]

Filip Böhme sorry but CinemaSins is too cancerous

[@7uring]

557deadpool says the guy who calls himself Deadpool on the internet. (Edit: also whatever 3d animated generic hot chick your profile picture is really speaks for your credibility.) That's beside the point. They are a channel that just points out the bad parts of a movie (and in jokes of the channel itself) wich is why CinemaWins is the opposite. CinemaSins make even a good movie look like shit while CinemaWins make some of the worst look good. Two sides, both entertaining, both no serious reviews that should be taken too seriously.

[@thefilmeffect6089]

...just watch it! It's entertaining in a ridiculous over the top way. It's such a product of the time. John Woo said he wanted to make Mission Impossible like James Bond, so it's definitely an interesting watch. The stunt at the end where a knife literally comes a centimeter from Cruise's eye is worth the watch itself.

[@557deadpool]

Filip Böhme 1. Coming from the guy who literally just uses his own name instead of an actual username. Also if you don't know who Cammy from SF is, then you have no right to bitch about someone's credibility, is what I would say if I was a fucking idiot. Also, WTF does my username and profile picture have to do with credibility? 2. CinemaSins nitpicks tf out if movies sometimes with legitimate points but most of the time are illegitimate or invalidated in the very movie they're talking about. That's not even counting the numerous times they've disingenuously edited parts of a movie just to make a point or ignore scenes entirely just to make a joke. But because of idiots like you, they never get called out on it unless it's by people who actually make videos on why CinemaSins is consistently full of shit. 3. While I agree with your point about CinemaWins, because at least they're actually honest in their videos and don't try to literally lie to people on a regular basis, anyone worth their salt wouldn't give CinemaSins the time of day. I highly recommend looking up bobvids' Everything Wrong with Everything Wrong with- series and Shaun's video called CinemaSins is wrong about everything (I believe he has other videos on the same subject but this one really highlights the issues with CinemaSins). I had already unsubbed from CinemaSins a long time ago and these videos basically validated my decision.

[@xgray2012]

Am I the only one who thought that Thandie Newton (Naya) was hot in this movie?

[@nosfrattirek5690]

No, but she needs some meat on her bones, she's not looking healthy.

[@GareBearGamingGround]

She was absolutely gorgeous. Truth be told, this is where I got the name for my daughter (Niya)

[@animeAJproductions]

No, you're not the only one.

[@SDfan2002]

No, but she really served no purpose to the film.

[@alhassnadrammeh3180]

Me too

[@ActionJackson1982]

I must be the only one who actually liked it

Aussie Eighties I liked it too.

[@alexandergapour1253]

[@matthewmuir8884]

Of the first three, it's the one I unironically enjoy the most. It definitely could've been better, but I thought it was rather enjoyable.

[@Nerdzilla2002]

Can you please review 'Aliens In The Attic'? And yes, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. 😒

[@ethanhatcher5533]

Tom Cruise best role was Last Samurai

[@Celicagame13]

ethan hatcher um Maverick?

[@vampman87]

Maverick is a good role, but way too cliched even for an 80s movie. "The Rebel Who Ruffles Feathers And Singlehandedly Saves Everyone By Thinking Outside The Box," while not done to death at that point, was still pretty familiar. Honestly, I think Cruise's best performance was Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee from "A Few Good Men." You could see the character growth in that movie, from a sleazy lawyer who doesn't really care about his clients and would rather plea bargain than outright lose to a defender who did everything he could to expose the true corruption of the military base so his clients wouldn't be branded as the scapegoats for the Code Red. Also, Kevin Bacon was one of the antagonists, and Jack Nicholson was the charismatic villain, which further supported the arc Cruise's characrer went through.

[@FrostRashouto]

I think edge of tommorow was his best one. But opinions are different I guess.

[@misspriss2482]

Edge of Tomorrow.

[@ElTuco84]

Minority Report, a dramatic role mixed with great action pieces.

[@Markimark151]

The MI movies are more popular than the show, for some reason it’s like the Star Trek of detective movies. Their movie franchise is based on a classic TV show franchise.

[@tylerolsonfilms]

The Last Samurai is one of Tom Cruise’s absolute best films it was not part of an “awkward phase”

[@t99155]

Facts love that movie

[@CDubya.82]

Despite the occasional Wooisms - I don’t get the online hate for this film. I liked it. I liked it was filmed in Australia (I’m Aussie). I’ll admit i liked it more then than I do now but it’s not horrible. I enjoy it more than the first one.

[@thefirstbourne149]

+Carl Wilson Um...you don’t get the hate of it being near-completely devoid of what Mission: Impossible was about? Plus, also what the first movie’s main character was about? That wasn’t even Ethan Hunt’s character from the first movie, so why was he even like this in this movie?

[@theresacherco9543]

This movie Is early 2000 epicness

[@ogreface8]

King Kong 1976 or Son of Godzilla next please

[@Deactorr]

Night raptor I think Doug only reviews movies that were around his time.

[@Grachtnakk]

I actually like KK 1976

[@kamenrider5ds60]

For stuff like that you want Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews, he has already Reviews Son of Godzilla and reviewed many 76 King Kong Knockoffs.

[@Prof_Tickles92]

Kong 76 isn’t that bad. Hell it tells a more plausible story than the original.

[@vilenightmare87]

NazcarFanatic24 because people go to movies for reality and the plausible. KK 76 was terrible but I've always loved it. Still it was way more fucked if you consider the times they were made. Do 76!

[@JamesLandon]

[@nodinitiative]

Tom Cruise is 56, but he still looks more fit and good looking than most people in theirs 40s and 30s....Plus, he works his ass off on being where he is now. I hate it when haters call him "short", he is 170cm. The average height of most males in the world in the 1990s was between 160cm-175cm. I look forward to more of his movies.

[@Celicagame13]

[@harseik7354]

I'm a chick and I'm taller than Cruise by 2 inches. He short, fam.

[@PepperKnight]

Nice try, Tom.

[@anthonyshepherd265]

Look, he’s taller than Kevin Hart and if you’re taller than Kevin Hart, you’re not considered short.

[@Celicagame13]

[@roxtechs]

Still waiting on the Justice League movie review

[@elazar493]

The Nick Cage sunset almost killed me! 🤣

[@queenlover007]

I'm all for a Tom Cruise months and I nominate Interview with the Vampire! It's actually a pretty close book-to-movie adaptation but... Tom Cruise as Lestat is such a fun overkill

[@Vicioussama]

I really loved The Last Samurai :O the music, characters, setting, story, etc. Sure, it'd have been fine if there'd been no white guy as the main character, but it was fine.

[@zai24]

20:36 one of the best moments in NC history

[@tomnorton4277]

Doug, isn't Eyes Wide Shut your favourite Tom Cruise movie? I mean yeah, it was directed by Stanley Kubrick but Cruise was playing the main character so it wasn't just Kubrick who made that movie a masterpiece. Plus it showed Cruise going outside his usual action hero role.

[@aldoespejo6347]

yeah... like rainmain

[@ParkerDaudt]

Just saw Fallout. It was good

[@randomperson9543]

It's Wednesday my dudes

[@somethingcool1533]

I honestly liked Tom Cruise the most in Edge of Tomorrow. I thought he was really great at showing the scumminess, unpreparedness and most importantly tiredness his character had throughout the film. He didn’t feel like a badass for the majority of the film, only in very small moments where he FINALLY got things right.

[@donovanphillips6278]

This is weirdly enough my mom’s favorite mission impossible movie.

[@ElFreakinCid]

8:58 - House and Dr. Strange DO sound convincingly American though. Like, seriously, what is it with people thinking they sound obviously fake?

[@matthewmuir8884]

Yeah; that part really weirded me out, "Wait, what? I thought House in particular quite famously sounded very convincingly American?"

[@peneloperayner8594]
