I always find the hardest part of reviewing a movie is to keep from reading other reviews before writing my own. Must... be... validated... But alas,

I refrain. Looks like I was spot on with the MI4 glowing review. Holy crap that thing is doing almost Pixar great on Rotten Tomatoes.

You know, there were several scenes that 'felt' very Pixar. I mentioned Monsters Inc in the theater for sure.

Now explain your review and Tattoo's 85%! -- nm - Dr. Vermin Dec 29, 20:57 1
- Reading is fundamental. First, I haven't yet written my review. Second, my post clearly states I haven't read any others yet due to the first fact. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 21:55
I certainly don't remember the other MI movies being as funny. Deliberately, I mean. -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 20:35 13
- I really was caught off guard by how funny it was. And, you're right, not in a 'lol that's dumb' kind of way. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 20:38 7
  - With Simon in it, you actually had doubts? -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:07 6
    - I haven't really jumped on that Paul, Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz love parade. - Qale Dec 29, 21:24 1
      - I haven't seen Paul, but I am entirely on board with the Spaced, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead love parade. - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:31
    - "Well, after seeing Tintin ..." -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:08 3
      - Americans are not seeing that movie. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:11 2
        
        True. And I haven't seen it myself, so slamming it for being unfunny is quite unfair. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:36 1
        
        *ban hammers you* -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 22:00
- (and I wonder if, had casting for MI:3 gone differently, whether we would be watching Field Agent Ricky Gervais) -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 20:36
- they weren't -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 29, 20:36 3
  - I think I remember one joke from the first three movies. Even the Bourne movies had more humour. -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 20:40 1
    - MI One had the disk trick, MI3 had a few more that I can't recall - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:43
  - Small bits of MI3 were. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:38
I remember that scene! Benji goes, "Kitty!" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:34 15
- (spoilers) - Qale Dec 29, 20:36 14
  - Spoils - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:39 13
    - (spoiler) - Qale Dec 29, 20:54 12
      - Yeah, I was just thinking that ... - Beryllium Dec 29, 20:56 11
        
        I didn't see The Incredibles due to my dislike of superhero movies. -- nm - Qale Dec 29, 21:01 10
        
        as someone who is neutral to superhero movies, The Incredibles is *awesome*. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 21:18
        
        Wow. -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:05
        
        You avoided The Incredibles but subjected yourself to Tom Cruise? Crazy. -- nm - TWuG Dec 29, 21:03
        
        That's too bad, it's a very good film. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:02 6
        
        (except for it ripping off Watchmen which is funny within the realm of this thread) -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 21:08 5
        
        except for it *what*? - TFox Dec 29, 22:02 1
        
        Hmmm... - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 22:07
        
        Watchmen AND Fantastic Four -- nm - Roger More Dec 29, 21:45 1
        
        Pixar. What a bunch of hacks! -- nm - Spawn - BF&FJS Champion, car&dragon slayer Dec 29, 22:01
        
        sure, if you replace "ripping off" with "improving upon". - Beryllium Dec 29, 21:21
