Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One starring Tom Cruise is a non-stop action-filled adventure with plenty of stunts and an entertaining plot.
As long as its better than MI3’s “secret weapon so secret and dangerous that even the script-writer’s don’t know what it is”
A MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is “a plot element that catches the viewers’ attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction.”[1]
Sometimes, the specific nature of the MacGuffin is not important to the plot such that anything that serves as a motivation serves its purpose. The MacGuffin can sometimes be ambiguous, completely undefined, generic or left open to interpretation.
The MacGuffin is common in films, especially thrillers. Commonly, though not always, the MacGuffin is the central focus of the film in the first act, and later declines in importance as the struggles and motivations of characters play out. Sometimes the MacGuffin is even forgotten by the end of the film.
I have no idea what puttputt is talking about… but regardless, I enjoyed the Mi movies, as much as they didn’t make any sense, they are fun to watch.
Puttputt is talking about how it was never told what the “rabbits foot” was in MI3..and hes explaining why.
who cares what it’s called? they couldn’t think of something menacing enough so they didn’t think of anything at all.
Some people are just too stupid to understand writing or film making to identify a plot device when they see one.
Spoon feeding are for nubs.
Pulp Fiction did the same thing with the suit case.
I tried watching these movies, I couldn’t get into them and got bored after 20 mins. Turned them off and read a book. PLEASE NO MORE!!!
Looking forward to another.
it’s n00bs not nubs….
silly n00bl3t 🙂
I believe the correct term would be “noobette”
