To start things off, I have nothing but pure respect for Tom Cruise’s stunt work at the Burj Khalifa. You truly have to be insane and incredibly brave to pull that off. We already know about the insanity,
and we certainly saw the bravery.
After the credits rolled, I found myself thinking that Ethan Hunt is essentially the father figure of Superman😁.
He’s such a powerhouse—so capable, in fact, that for most of the movie, I felt like I was watching a parody of James Bond. But then I remembered that Tom Cruise is producing this, and since he’s both the lead and the ultimate driving force behind the franchise, he takes his work with such immense seriousness that I realized he isn't playing around one bit.😁.
The opening sequence... honestly, it feels straight out of a James Bond film, or at least the American version of one.
As for that heavy plot twist near the end involving Li La—it reminded me of that one guy from Canada. Given how much people were hyping up that twist, I genuinely thought they’d blow it in the first five minutes. He spends the whole movie trying to act like some sort of tough guy, but it never quite lands. It happens somewhere around the middle of the runtime.
All in all, it was an enjoyable watch. Personally, I found it slightly lacking compared to the third installment, but... if you just want to kill some time, wash away the taste of those heavy, depressing dramas, and fall asleep with a smile on your face, it’s more than enough.
Oh, and since we're talking about missed opportunities, I was wondering why they didn't include a moment during the scene where the assistants are confessing, perhaps showing them a photo taken at the walls of a historic site like the Grand Canyon, with someone saying, "this was our last photo together."🤣 But then again, that would probably lose its impact by the end anyway.😁
