Fantastic 4



I saw Fantastic 4 yesterday. I came in with low expectations because of the reviews from other people who had already seen it. I will say that after I figured out the purpose of the movie, it wasn't that bad. This movie is all about character development & teeing it up for a sequel. So don't expect a ton of action because they don't even become the heroes until pretty much the end of the movie. If you are a fan of any of the actors in the movie then I say go for it. If not, then I'd suggest saving your money & waiting this one out until it goes to DVD.

Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation



I saw Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation yesterday. There is a certain level of enjoyment I get from high action Tom Cruise movies. With that said, don't be fooled by the commercials, this is not better than Bond and may be as good as Bourne but definitely not better. This movie felt about 30min too long and too light in action. I will say that there was a bit of comedy which was a pleasant surprise and the few action scenes that did make the cut were really good; I especially enjoyed the fight scenes with the female lead, Rebecca Ferguson. The choreography in those scenes were sick. I'd say even though this isn't as good as its predecessors it's still an entertaining one to see.
