Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

[I SEE SPIDEY]

MrMaooz to the rescue, I'm not alone. I will eventually get around to watching the Ryan films.

 

[Liam_H]

I've only seen Sum of All Fears, would some consider that worst than seeing none of them.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I thought Sum of all Fears was pretty *****in' tho Hunt for Red October is my favorite by a wide margin.

 

[StarLord]

I did not know that Keira Knightley was in this, but aside from her it looks pretty decent.

MrMaooz to the rescue, I'm not alone. I will eventually get around to watching the Ryan films.

Yeah but maooz hasn't seen anything that isn't Star Trek or a Tom cruise movie so...

 

[MrMaooz]

Please, DS.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Please, DS.

For a second I was wondering what I did wrong.

 

[TheVileOne]

I'm going to see this just because it has Branagh hamming it up as a Russian baddie.

 

[Slushy]

Its interesting to have an origins story (remaking Patriot Games would've sucked), but I hope they make Red Rabbit into a movie for the next one.

 

[Visceral]

looks terrible, i expect more from a jack ryan film

 

[Hunter Rider]

For a second I was wondering what I did wrong.

Oh man take a chair, I got a list a mile long!

 

[Tequilla]

Directed by Kenneth Branagh...nah. Directed by the guy who made that crap called Thor. Wow. It must really hurt. An accomplished actor and a director who made probably the best Hamlet adaption.

Thor.

Ouch.

Looks nothing like i expected from a jack ryan film.

 

[ddddeeee]

Thor was Branagh's best reviewed movie in 15 years and was a critical and commercial success. As ridiculously talented as Branagh is, he's not a household name. It makes sense to market it as the director of Thor.

 

[MrMaooz]

This.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I'm sure "From the director of a bunch of Shakespeare adaptations you've never seen" would have worked much better.

[DarthSkywalker]

It is not my fault I am always right.

 

[The Guard]

I don't get the hate for SUM OF ALL FEARS. It was a nice take on Ryan at the beginning of his career, fairly intelligently written, with good action and tension.

I'm a little disturbed everytime there's a reboot of the Jack Ryan franchise, because it means no RAINBOW SIX movie for years and years. But this does look pretty good.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I'm sure "From the director of a bunch of Shakespeare adaptations you've never seen" would have worked much better.

Delusion? A good place to start my friend, now kick back and tell me some more.

 

[MrMaooz]

"You think this is game, Jack" still makes me laugh.

 

[terry78]

Right now, unless your last name is Spielberg or Nolan, you ain't getting billing in the ads as a director except for being known as the guy who directed such and such. Even Sam Raimi only got "from the director of the Spider-Man trilogy" for Oz.

 

[Octoberist]

"You think this is game, Jack" still makes me laugh.

Is there an inside joke here? Many people have laughed about that here and is it a reference to something else? Let me guess...Oblivion or Jack Reacher?

 

[MrMaooz]

There is no inside joke and there's no reference to a recent Tom Cruise flick.

 

[Octoberist]

why is so funny then? (sobbing)

 

[Octoberist]

Or is it such a cliche that it's shocking to hear something like that still?
