Maybe a little overrated? With people calling it the best action movie in 20 years. But then again...what's its competition really? It's certainly up there
It was a lot of fun. I don't need the plot to be spectacular tbh, there were some predictable but nice little twisty moments. I do wish the trailer didn't reveal so much though. Why not keep Cavill vs. Cruise a secret?
The action was undeniably impressive. You could tell how authentic some of the Cruise real stunts were and it was TOUGH to tell what he wasn't actually doing, the visuals looked good. I like how some of the chase/action scenes were really drawn out but didn't get boring, they just kept changing to keep it fresh. May palms were SWEATING!
Liked Henry Cavill as the villain a lot, especially in the back half. He was a little wooden throughout but I guess that was sorta his character, he felt really relentless by the end and I was rooting for him to die hardcore. His death was great and very satisfying
I also can't believe Lane lives to see another movie, but he's good
Tom Cruise is 56. That's pretty insane. It's clear he values this franchise a whole lot and it strengthens the movies imo
Wrestling between a 7/8 but I'm probably at a low 8. Might be my favorite since the first one, I think it edged out MI3
Also despite his crazy bullshit throughout the years he's sorta always seemed like a fairly genuine guy to me as far as massive movie stars go. I like how collaborative he is here, he seems to really care about the work. He's not just showing up to collect a check
