Dead Reckoning Part One

I seriously wasn’t planning to go see this on in the theatre.

But then I remembered how much I love this franchise.

It was long.  Ridiculously long.  Some of the set piece action scenes were long.  Too long.  They could have cut many of them short.

The movie clocks in at 2 hours 49 minutes.

That’s long.

But it was a good movie.

It hit all the right notes for an M:I film, for me.

I’d recommend it to die hard fans of the series.

Parallels

I’m a Giants and Mets fan, except when the Giants play the Mets, and I’m totally a Mets fan.  Even though the Giants are my hometown team, and the first ball club that I knew.

I’m a Godzilla and King Kong fan, except when Godzilla fights Kong, and I’m totally Team Kong.  In this case I recall seeing the original King Kong (1933) before I ever saw a Godzilla film, the first of which might have been King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963).

I drink Coca Cola and Pepsi.  I prefer Pepsi.

I’m a Star Wars and Star Trek fan.  Period.
