Where was the tension; suspense; class, style; intrigue; excitement; mystery; thrills and creative inventive story writing? I think it got lost in the messy plot of cartoon character action and poor acting with an uninventive story line.Please bring back directors John Woo, Brian De Palma or Brad Bird!!! and leave McQuarrie to direct teenage cartoon films. MI Fallout had no guts or raw moments and where did the sleek stylish filming and directing go? this wasn't high class slickness. This MI didn't even come close to paying homage to James Bond, where past Mission Impossibles' did! This film was just painted with 1 coat of cheap vanilla paint which was left to dry and then just started flaking for the next 140 mins. No trimmings or embellishments, it was just dull, plain, grey, ugly and boring.This installment in the MI series was suffering from a throbbing bad headache and nauseating hang over with nowhere to go but downhill. MI Fallout didn't really need any sound, you could watch it in silence and still know what was happening. You feel no connection or care for any of the characters and they all seemed emotionless & expressionless. Atleast Tom Cruise made an effort in his stunt roles, but sadly McQuarrie destroyed the Ethan Hunt character and made his personality seem weak, hopeless and embarrasing. Compare Ethan Hunt's personality in past MI films and you will see the change in MI Fallout. Michelle Monaghan's face was expressionless and emotionless throughout the whole film, even in a supposedly tense and traumatic scene while attempting to cut wires to a bomb which was about to destroy the planet, her facial expression does not change through the whole ordeal, its quite laughable. What a mess! I left the cinema angry, disappointed and extremely let down as an avid and faithful fan of all past MI films. The audience also left quiet and with no comment, they probably wondered what just happened and did they really just watch an MI film, or a comical farce?Terrible acting, weak story line, cartoon character violence which became laughable, awful CGI effects, bad plot, the actors didn't take this installment seriously and either did the film itself.Was it intentionally a black comedy that got lost in translation about 20mins into the film? I drifted off in the last 30mins only to be waken by crash, bang and noise. Oh yeah! I am watching Mission Impossible Fallout? or was I just woken from a bad dream? Even the musical score was as boring and dull with huge similarities to Sicario, but atleast Sicario's musical score suited that film and had purpose.There was nothing new and nothing to make you go "wow" Past MI films always brought something new and exciting to the table, but sadly not this time.What happened to Vanessa Kirby half way through the film? did she realise what a mess she had entered into and then walked off set? Alec Baldwin decided to die a quick death, with Tom Cruise telling him "sorry you had to die Alec".Enough is enough, I will go back and enjoy the exciting roller coaster ride on the past MI films and throw this one into the "what a waste of time bin" .3/10 from me, the 3 was for the location and fabulous scenery in Paris, Norway and New Zealand.
A perfect Fri/Sat night action film. It won't change your life, it won't win an Oscar and if you watch it you won't regret it.
This Mission Impossible was not as good as the first two that came out. First Tom Cruise is way to old to be running through the movies like he use to when he was young. As I watching him running on the top of the building I saw where it was not him. His face changed and his butt got bigger. I could see where it was edited. I am very disappointed in this Mission Impossible. It's time to let it go. I would like to see him come back with the Mummy part 2 but I do hope they have a very good story to tell for him to act in a a rival for him to combat with his new face. I don't want it too end of being like Ghost Rider part 2. It was a very poor movie. I couldn't believe how they down graded Nicholas Cage to a dope addicted to combat being the Ghost Rider. They could have done a better story then that. I was so disappointed. If only you would stick to the animated versions and find more creative writers to enhance and bring in a better storyline then you would have a better high rating an people around the block waiting to watch. Lets get it together or leave it alone!
Much worse than MI1 and even worse than the sequels. It's rating should be closer to 6.0. Plot is laughable even for the typical action movie, fight scenes are plain bad and special effects are not that good.
