    ★★★½

    This feels like a screenplay I would've read for a coverage assignment that I would've liked but would've never expected to actually get made.

    Where do I even start with this film? It has a lot of issues at the screenplay level, but everything else is great. The best moments are amazing and the worst moments are like...what. After reading some explanations on the internet, I understand what Phillips was trying to do and I think it's fascinating, but it isn't quite there. I would've done a few test screenings and tweaked it.

    I'm not blown away like I was with the first one…

    ★★★★½

    This film was really really good. Constant action throughout, and it didn’t feel forced or contrived. Each action piece was unique in its own way and added a lot to the story.

    It did have some small writing issues: I thought the dialogue was a bit weird at times, and the movie was a bit lengthy.

    Overall, a very solid addition to the series and one of my favorite films of the whole year so far (right now my second favorite behind Guardians).

    I think Fallout was better.

    Woah…

    This was incredible. Probably one of the best screenplays I’ve ever seen. The cinematography and acting was incredible. I have a lot of thoughts, so in typical Nolan movie fashion, I need to process this one.

    One things for sure: this movie was the bomb
