The opening act through “Where am I?”, “Earth” actually was more visceral than I remember. It was beautifully done. I didn’t appreciate what a total f-up Mav is when I watched this on the first pass. Jon Hamm, Ed Harris and the rest of the elder leadership were right about him. But he was still the man the moment needed. Two things kill it for me 1) The sad puppy-dog-locked-outside bar scene and 2) the douchy behavior of the young pilots. I’ve never met a fighter pilot remotely like any of them.

I’ma prolly kill some Time w/ “65”,
I have this thing for Military and SciFi Movies/Shows.
ya know, stargate, star trek, terra nova, etc etc.
So Far in the last year, I’ve been to AMC Theaters 8 times, using the membership program.
Out of those 8 times, 2 were top gun maverick,
Out of those 8 times, 6 were of them I’d consider a waste of time, as the movies were sub par.
Oops, made a mistake, 9 times, forgot about Megan., Still 6 movies were a waste of time.

Here’s one of the director Jalmari Helander’s earlier works. Short film about Santa Claus. See it to know what to expect from the Sisu-movie.

I’d hate for Disney to Ruin The Little Mermaid for my nieces, so I will have to see it twice.
Pre-Screen it, and if I think they didn’t ruin it too much, take my neices.

That looks hella fun, but the nazis driving a T-55, isn’t that a bit… on the nose?
Also to be fair- as much as I like to see N@z! being killed ( and I like it a lot! ) - Finnish were sorta allied to them so… I give them a pass on this. Looks too much fun, and definitely not historical.

Tried to force myself to watch but the script and acting are well below average, and that is being kind…

I absolutely love it. Top notch, old school, spy games.
It didn’t age too gracefully though.

Looking forward to this in June:
The first one was good old ‘switch brain off’ and enjoy action and this one looks like it’s ramped it up a bit

Cheers. The first one was OK, I thought the action sequences were well done and it was good to see a movie set in India (that isn’t a Bollywood production) for a change. But by half time it wasn’t anything I hadn’t already seen a hundred times. Still, based on the first one I will add this to the list of movies for when I just want to zone out.

Brought out of necessity and my enemys enemy, is my friend, Finland and Germany were allies, until they weren’t.
I think the events in Sisu takes place during the Lapland war, in 1944, when Finland were fighting against Germany.
But, as you so eloquently put it:
Nope! 
As a side note, the reason for the Finnish-German alliance was of course the Soviet invasion in 1939.
Soviet russia was expelled from the League of Nations, because of this…
Now, there’s a thought.

Agree, my main problem is that the first one ended up nicely with this “Is he alive? is that just a ghost?” - I’m quite bummed they went on with a sequel. Meh.
