rynlingThis movie was all sorts of stupid and reminded me of why I generally hate movies.
Every once in a while I will see something like Mad Max Fury Road and think that I love movies and that I love the experience of going to the cinema. This is called "the fallacy of composition," which is where someone makes a judgment about an entire thing based on one of its parts.
I did, however, appreciate the bit at the end of Rogue Nation where Rebecca Ferguson gives Tom Cruise a manly hug, telling him that she kind of has a crush on him but respects his relationship with Simon Pegg. I also appreciated Alec Baldwin's sincere efforts not to crack up while speaking his lines.
Okay, you know what, I also really enjoyed the set piece where Tom Cruise was fighting people on the scaffolding above the stage while an opera was in progress, but this was probably because in my heart of hearts I kept expecting Setzer to show up.
