I've seen the film three times; the first time being I wasn't able to make out its significance and thus I went with the conclusion of it being the extended version of the prequel. Then I decided to watch it the second time and it was then I became quite keen, indeed obsessed to watch it again on the BluRay version. That's is when I figured it's magnificence.

In my personal opinion, the musical score is the best ever after Mission Impossible 2 composer Hans Zimmer's score. I felt that throughout the film the composer Lorne Balfe has done an enormously terrific job. If I might add "The noise of the musical score was louder than the stunts."

The director Christopher McQuarrie has written and executed a terrific script, he's got his tone mixed up in it. The storyline was written complex. He's done certain callbacks to previous Mission Impossible films, and they are like "under the surface," which means I won't know it if I haven't watched the previous ones. That's the genius of this writer and director.

The cinematography was unique compared to the other films cameras being placed and shot from vast angles. Especially during the last stunt sequence between Tom and Henry. The London chase over the roof, and the scene where they break Lane out of Prison.

Henry Cavill is the ideal person for the role of John Lark and he's got his own version of being an antagonist. Especially being a Dark tone, the scene in the cave in London when he turns around and goes "Do you?" That last stunt sequence on the mountains of New Zealand.

And I won't have to applaud Tom, for he is indeed the guy who made me follow the franchise and I wager this is the best since Ghost Protocol.



His absence from the world stage has had unintended consequences His syndicate of rogue covert operatives continues to wreak havoc around the globe.

In my personal opinion, I feel it somewhat crude to see Harrison Ford as the antagonist, after all the heroism that he's done as The Fugitive, Indiana Jones, and as the POTUS in the Air Force One.

Michelle Pfeiffer played a convincing and sympathetic part and there was this scene in the red dress while she seduces her husband.

The camera angle while she exits the home and blood faced Harrison awakens, that's the personal favourite.

But I never expected something very simple from the director Robert Zemeckis and I wonder what cost them $100 million in making the film.

I felt it had quite a few references to Alfred Hitchcock's work on Pscho and Vertigo.

About this picture, I particularly appreciate the casting of Johnny Depp as Grindlewald although I feel his talents have been underused and also of Jude Law.

I feel that it's been needlessly complicated and overburdened. Overburdened is because of Yusuf comes after Credence based on some childhood petty grudge, Queenie joining Grindlewald, Flashback between Lestrange and Scamander, and also the addition of the character Grimmson, might have a part future sequels but this picture does not have any consistency because the writer tried to keep the running time under 2 and half hours.

There are no strange creatures, only blinkered people!

A safe house in Paris, reinforced with enchantments.

You don't seek power or popularity. You simply ask, is this thing right in itself?

The disapproval of cowards is a praise to the brave.

Confession is a relief, I'm told. A great weight lifted.

The scene nearby the lake where Harry and Black are attacked by those dementors (at that moment I experienced best great visual effects) and I thought to myself when one reads the book he might have to imagine what it would be like to face such dastardly health sucking and it is the movie that makes it real (made me feel it).

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the light.

She had a way of seeing the beauty in others even, and most especially when that person could not see it in themselves.

This is the only one of David Fincher's films that end with a cliffhanger. Towards the last 55 minutes of the film, I was under the impression that the cartoonist turned amateur sleuth was onto the killer and is about to unmask the killer Zodiac, and as it turns out it's an unsolvable case.

It did occur to my thought was the Zodiac killer just one bloke or was it some clique using it to slaughter people. The cab driver was the first killing of the Zodiac killer that doesn't involve a couple... which lead the two group of men to believe that he was trying to break his patterns.

You drunken reprobate.

First and foremost I would very much like to appreciate the storyline and the characters created by Stephen King. Such interesting and meticulously created characters were they.

The execution of Del, because of Percy thirst for revenge and purposely does not soak the sponge which he places on Del's head, I was immensely horrified by the convulsion and suffering in pain and while Del suffers so does Coffey, at that moment the direction was over the peak making it very scary.

Three grown men, outsmarted by a mouse.

Men under strain can snap. Hurt themselves and hurt others.

On the day of John's execution when he is taken to the auditorium, he senses immense hostility from the audience: "They's lot of folks here that hate me. Lots! I can feel it. It's like bee's stinging me." to which Brutus replies: "Well, feel how we feel, then. We don't hate you. Can you feel that?" (simply meaning the guards have nothing but sympathy for him).

My personal favourite is while Paul(Tom Hanks) says Role Two the way his eyes are filled with tear and his jaws tickling were my careful observations.

I've seen this movie three times, the first it was quite simple to my eyes, the second time, I found myself understanding how brilliant Chris Nolan's scheme was, and the third time I was beyond exhilarated and admired as how Nolan as a director has put the personal and the epic together.

Christopher Nolan has adapted non-linear storytelling and tells the story from three perspectives: land, sea and air. He has used visuals by hiring Hoyte van Hoytema the film was incredible for its cinematography extensively used to reciprocate for the dialogues and backstory.

Hans Zimmer made this epic come alive with his illusion. As Kenneth Branagh quoted: "The film was louder than the battle."

The noise of the bombs at "Dunkirk" did fall away in the air at this massive stretch of beach but trapped in Chris Nolan's amazing vision of this conflict, you can't get away from the sound of the bombs.

"Wars are not won by evacuations." "But there was a victory inside this deliverance, which should be noted."

I warrant that this picture is the best remake that I've watched just because of the involvement of Robert DeNiro and Martin Scorsese.

The work of Alfred Hitchcock was also influential on the style with Bernard Hermann writing the score of the film. I detected scenes of this film in Hitchcock manner i.e., use of unusual camera angles, lighting, opening credits and editing techniques.

The scene where De Niro laughs so bloody good was good acting. I do believe, Joaquin Phoenix's has incorporated this in the Joker.

Martin Scorsese must have been obsessed with whole pages of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo in his mind as to he's incorporated a favourite scene from it, like the scene where the character Sam awakens after seeing images(illusions) of Robert De Niro in his sleep.

The scene on the boat where a badly burnt and deranged De Niro enacts on a mock trial the performance of his was the best and certainly deserved an Oscar.

If you hang on to the past you die a little every day.

I want to compliment on the effort of Eric Roth in turning the short story from Fitzgerald into one incredible screenplay for the director David Fincher to work on. Those both in combination worked good and Brad Pitt and his co-stars, all of them did a good job.

Notable lines:

Somedays I feel different than the day before. Everybody feels different about themselves, one way or another. But we're all going the same way

Plenty of time you'll be alone. When you're different like us, it's gonna be that way.

It's funny how sometimes the people we remember the least make the greatest impression on us.

It's not about how well you play. It's how you feel about what you're playing.

We're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?

Savour it. And don't eat it all at once, because that way, there's nothing left to enjoy.

The plot of the film is similar to Batman vs. Superman and most of the times the film revolves around humans, the point being the lifecycle and the regeneration of Godzilla were thoroughly omitted from the screen.

Notable line:

Sometimes, the only way to heal our wounds is to make peace with the demons who created them.
