Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Second reboot of Jack Ryan franchise. First I am just going to say that Chris Pine has done quite good decisions according to his movie career. As long as he does not change his mind, he has a chance to play Captain Kirk and Jack Ryan for the next 10 years at least. That is the beauty of franchises, you can do the same role over and over again. As long as people go and see the movies. Anyway, his career is made just by sticking with these movies. For his age this is quite remarkable. 

Back to the movie... In my opinion the franchise has been brought to the current day quite well. I liked how they used the history to build up the character, and not just made up something. Not to mention Kevin Costner! I liked his character. P.S. there is going to be a new Kevin Costner movie this year for which I saw  a preview in the theater. I have added to my want to see list. But yeah, back to the movie in question... I knew what I was going to see, so expectations were high. I would like to say that the expectations were met. There was no problem with the actors or the plot. I just think I might have enjoyed it a bit more, if there weren't other people around me... I want to really focus on the movie and other people jumping up and down (going to the toilet I assume and picking food) distracts.

All in all, I do recommend this movie. I think it is better on big screen, but nowadays the home TV's are quite big so you might be well of at home (with good sound system). I am a bit iffy with the must see status, for those who want action definitely a good choice. This movie will not change history or anything like that, so you will not be missing out on anything big if you do not see it.

Next I am so going to see a horror movie. I think the Devil's Due is out, so maybe I go and see it.
