MI: Rogue Nation picks up shortly after the events of Ghost Protocol and I am happy to report that this film is even better than the last. While still boasting huge stunts and action scenes, this film also felt very reminiscent of the intensity and suspensefullness of the first movie in the franchise, which if you ask me are a winning combination. We are introduced to a few new mysterious characters which is always fun but the best part of these movies is the chemistry between Hunt and his team which make for plenty of laughs and excitement. Something I noticed about this movie though is the fact that Ethan Hunt is borderline super human in this! Seriously some of the things he survives are insane but I think that's explained throughout the film in that not only is Hunt absurdly good at his job but in his career he's also been incredibly "lucky" which if you look back at some of the things he's done you'd see what they meant. This is a great fun summer blockbuster and I can't wait to see how this team tops the crazy situations they got into here. Rating: FULL PRICE!
Paper Towns is another John Green story turned movie and like it's predecessor "The Fault in our Stars" this movie was made for a very specific demographic. If you've seen the trailer it doesn't seem like something you'd be into then you're probably not going to enjoy this. I personally felt the story and characters were very charming and short of a few certain aspects of some of the characters the film as a whole was mostly enjoyable.
The friendships, relationships and portrayal of high school life felt very real which was refreshing. As a person who hadn't read the book I was happy with the film and so was my girlfriend whom had read the book. Is it the best movie I've seen all summer? Absolutely not, but do I regret seeing this? No. If you really care for this movie than you've probably seen it already otherwise I'd recommend just to wait to rent this. Rating: RENTAL.
