Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by President O — 28 Jul 2018

If I had never seen any of the previous entries into this franchise, I might have been more impressed. This just felt like more of the same...Cue Mission: Impossible Theme, see Tom run, see Tom jump off buildings, see Tom ride a motorcycle(!!!), see Tom suffer horrific violence but recover within seconds.

Then have Simon Pegg put on a Scooby Doo mask and completely con the bad guys! Make sure the bad guys, you know, the elite syndicate of global assassins, stoop to every movie cliche in the moment of truth and sabotage their own plans.

There should definitely be a scene where one of the good guys has a noose thrown around his neck and is hung up, only to have his partner kick a box to him so he can stand on tiptoes while the fight continues on.

And by all means, set a 15 minute timer on the bomb and let us watch our beloved bomb defusing squad clip wires for 20 minutes. Way too many played out aspects to this movie to stay invested. Can't wait for the next chapter.
