These were my reviews on IMDB of the previous 5 Mission Impossible movies:
Mission Impossible (1996) - 2/5 - I didn't like the idea of Jim being the bad guy - that was sacrilegious and the story was convoluted.
Mission Impossible 2 (2000) - 3.5/5 - John Woo is a good action director but this movie has more holes than Swiss cheese - probably because the final cut was 2 hr and 3 min and Woo actually filmed 3 1/2 hrs of footage.
Mission Impossible 3 (2006) - 3.75/5 - A bit better than the previous 2 M-I entries but they should had done without the romance/marriage subplot.
Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011) - 2.5/5 - It was alright - not fantastic or great - just mindless entertainment to kill 2+ hrs.
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation (2015) - 3/5 - Once again another M: I movie with parts that don't make sense and convenient plot devices including they just happen to get that stuff and this stuff or conveniently has something on hand to get the job done...
Furthermore when the screenwriters decided to write out the most interesting character in the movie immediately following the opening credit montage, you know this movie is going to suck!
Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4912910/
The Mission: Impossible films have become like the James Bond films.
Each new film trying to top the last film in the series and by doing so, each one gets more over the top than the previous one and sometimes becoming a parody of itself.
When you go watch a movie, you are supposed to remember it's all fantasy and make believe and as long as you suspend disbelief and try not to think too hard about what you are seeing on screen, you will enjoy the movie more.
But there are some scenes in Fallout that makes you want to say: there is absolutely no Fucking way!!
Just like the Dubai tower 119th floor outside scaling and jump stunt scene in Ghost Protocol even if that scene was shot with multiple safety cables that were erased in post production using Photoshop.
The James Bond films will continue: they will just cast another British or near British guy to play the role or someone who speaks with funny British accent.
But the Mission: Impossible films?
How many more can they make with the Crazy Cuckoo Guy getting old?
He is 56 now.
At this point in the series after 6 films, you just can't see anyone else playing Ethan Hunt unless they reboot the series.
I think there will be another M:I film after this (by that time he will be almost 60) and possibly one more and he will be quitting the role.
I still haven't forgiven him for ruining Katie Holmes forever.
Katie Holmes said when she was a little girl, she dreamt of growing up and marrying Tom Cruise.
She got her wish and you can see what he did to her.
Remember ladies: be careful what you wish for because you might just get it and it won't be what you wished and hoped for and it won't have a happily ever after like in Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella and Snow White.
Those Disney animated films where the girl finds her Prince Charming and lives happily ever after are the worse things for women to watch while they were growing up: it gives them unrealistic expectation about relationship and marriage and by the time they figure out it was all distorted and askew, they have already married and divorced: their entire social life and outlook on love and marriage and men has crashed and burned and it's in a smoking fiery pile of disappointment making them bitter and harsh toward any poor unsuspecting men that happens to enter their lives afterward for the rest of their lives.
3/5
today.
