The Menu was a unique film with an original plot. So may movies today lack originality, but this film is a delight for those weary of the never-ending comic book films and special effects features.
The ensemble was put together well, and Anna Taylor Joy is undoubtedly one of the, if not THE, best actresses in Hollywood today. Some movies seem like they would be interesting just because of the story, but she is proving to be the type of actress through her performances that make the movie worth seeing, regardless of plot. Very few actors can make any film worthwhile with their performance alone, such as Jack Nicholson. Anna Taylor Joy is rapidly approaching that level of entertainer.
Ralph Fiennes does a great job as the antagonist as well. He does outstanding in playing the role of a gourmet chef with a cult-like following hungry for his creations. The trailer easily leads one to assume that this film is going to be a film about cannibalism (fortunately, it is not) but instead it goes in a completely different direction weaving suspense and curiosity as to what exactly it is this chef trying to accomplish.
Original, well acted, and enjoyable, I would recommend this movie to any cinema buff.

Usually, sequels pale in comparison to the ones that came before it. Sometimes, a sequel can be even better (think Terminator 2 compared to the first one). Rarely does a movie franchise continue to get better with a bunch of sequels (although in my opinion the Fast and Furious has been somewhat successful in pulling this off).
Well, Mission Impossible has made it possible that sequels can be not only good, but great.
Tom Cruise may appear to some as having a death wish with the level of stunts he is doing. That maybe the case, but the only thing Tom Cruise does not seem to be able to do is hold down a relationship. The guy is virtually unstoppable and makes James Bond seem "meh" compared to Ethan Hunt. Awesome movie!

I was not a fan of the first few installments of this series. I was ready to write them off with no concern about watching any of the other ones. Man I am glad I gave it one more shot!
This movie was great! The action and the stunts are superb, the storyline is solid, and I am now ready to embrace this franchise.
For a long time I thought Tom Cruise was just some weirdo partaking in a cult you have to pay money to be a part of. Well, that level of insanity may be exactly what is needed to pull off the stunts in this movie, because they are completely wild!
I think this movie certainly solidifies Tom Cruise as a reputable, legit action star. He may lack the muscles of Arnold and Sylvester, but he has intensity in abundance and balls the size or Arnold and Sly put together. Great film!
