Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by Captain_Chaos — 10 Aug 2018

I can't say I'm a huge fan of Tom Cruise, but I've always enjoyed the Mission: Impossible films and I've noticed they've actually been better with each installment. When Fallout released I had only seen up to III, so I watched Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation in the days up to going to see Fallout.

Ghost Protocol in particular is an excellent film, and Fallout is easily the best in the series to date. It's intense, well-paced, has a few quiet but very powerful moments, and has a well-rounded cast.

The addition of Henry Cavill is an interesting one, especially considering what they do with his character. It benefits greatly from involving many returning characters, especially the villain and new female lead from Rogue Nation.

The action scenes do not disappoint: brutal fistfights, car and motorcycle chases, and a climactic helicopter duel that had my moviegoing companion literally on the edge of their seat. I don't get to go out to many movies aside from Marvel ones and the occasional Disney movie.

Fallout was a great summer blockbuster and well worth seeing in theaters.
