I had no idea what was going on and who was who


They kept talking really fast and jumping from one thing to the next, mentioning all kinds of names really quick and throughout the movie I had no idea who is who and what is going on other than two main guys being agents and the hot blond chick being evil and that there was a nuclear bomb involved.

One of the hardest to follow movies in a while.

That's probably because you're one of those "millennials", and thus have a very short attention span. The generation born after approx. 1990 grew up watching tv, surfing the net, listening to mp3's and playing video games all at the same time. You're used to having your information spoon-fed to you. Try watching it again, but very slowly.

Well I was born in 93 enjoyed ot very much along with many old films yet I also enjoy video games mp3s ect.
I think your basing this stereotype on a very small bunch personaly.
I don't understand struggling to follow this film it's a very basic plot and like a bond from Connerys era it's ashame the newer spy films don't grasp what made the originals so great

I agree. It was pretty all over the place. It was a little hard to follow along but I still understood it.

Pay closer attention to the OP. He says the movie moved TOO quickly. That contradicts everything that you wrote.

man, people struggle with what millennial and boomer actually means. I see it used incorrectly. I'm sure your thunking Gen x. Millennials passed the torch in the 90s, not started their reign. Millennials go back to the 70s.
