Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One |
Thought there was a thread, anyhow.
Am a huge fan of these films, except for number 2, f**K you John Woo.
Checking this out tonight.
edit: KMC broke the title, sent a fix request

Oddly enough I just don't have much interest in this series. I guess I respect Tom Cruise's dedication to action and stunts, but most everything else about it just leaves me cold. I think I turned on one of the more recent ones one time just for the action and I was kind of bored.
Same. Never bothered with them cos they just seem like derivative, clichéd crap.
This one was a disappoint, the plot/premise is not good, the new main villain is generic and just thrown in there, unlike Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) who was built up over several movies, a lot of the script was dull.
Not as bad as MI2, but not very good, aside from some action and Hayley Atwell being very good looking.
I liked it better than Fast X.
Great stunts and action sequences. The humor worked.
In terms of the actual story, it was kind of the opposite of Fast X in that it had a really generic villain and Tom Cruise did the heavy lifting, as opposed to Momoa’s stealing every scene and Vin Diesel phoning it in.
But anyway yeah I enjoyed it well enough.
After this lastest installment I still think Ghost Protocol remains my personal favorite with Rogue Nations having the best stunt. Though this movie wasn't as good as previous installments it was still a pretty fun time watching some of the chase sequences. Hayley Atwell getting stuff to do is neat too.
