Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by Marklaing1 — 14 Jan 2019

Pretty hard to sit through. I can watch the first MI film every time it's on TV but this was pretty awful. Riding a motorcycle 100MPH through Paris with no helmet (in the wrong direction!!) hitting a car at 40 MPH, bouncing a few times and then brushing yourself off before dashing away? Really? This is the stuff for video games, not movies.

Who, apart from a 15-year-old boy, is going to believe any of this stuff? You can tell many of the reader reviews are fake because, as smart as the studio assistants think they are being, they still start their "reviews" with lines like: "The finest action movie of the year.
