M:I-1 and M:I-2 = are skippable practice runs.

M:I-3 = is when the franchise ~really~ begins.

...and then each gets better than the last, peaking with M:I-7 Dead Reckoning (2023) 🙌🏻

M:I-8? Feels like they made a movie out of all the leftover action sequences from M:I-7.

Not bad, but not as smart.

I regret that I allowed myself to be swept up by the Barbie hype.

I'm sure it will resonate with the ladies.

Gents, you can wait 'til it streams.

It's just not nearly as clever as I'd hoping it'd be. Yes, I was fully expecting a message, but not one that would be hammered onto our heads.

Zero subtlety and a deficiency of real wit.

There was a moment in the film that held promise, re: Ken and the subject of masculinity, but it was squandered.

This film is very fortunate for the Barbenheimer phenomenon, because I'm not sure word of mouth could have served it as well.

I love me a chick flick - just not this one.

Slow, quiet, deep, powerful - and beautiful.

Yes, it's available for streaming now - but try your best to see it on the big screen first.

My throat is still squoze shut.
