A massive disappointment.
Even more so given that they had good meat and potatoes to work with. Great cast, great cinematography, and some really nice opportunities to call back to the first movie. It had all the parts to make a massively good movie. That being said, it was just an incoherent mess of a ridiculous story, hokey dialogue and character interactions, stupid and inaccurate tactical scenario, and ridiculous flying scenes. Jennifer Connelly is a massive MILF, but there was just zero chemistry (in addition to not even being able to re-tell the 'going ballistic with an Admiral's daughter' story correctly). The entire first Darkstar portion of the story was totally out of place and a waste of time and money that would have been better spent giving us some background on the pilots and WSOs who were getting called in for the mission. "We're all the best...who are they going to get to teach us?" GMAFB. I really wanted to like this one, but even with the huge grains of salt in knowing that it was entertainment and not a documentary, it was still an enormous fail. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Judging by the audience reaction I think that's likely. We haven't seen a true blockbuster in years. We might go see it again. Tons of cheering during the movie and applause at the end, and I was just at a normal mid-day matinee today in suburbia. So, it will probably make a ton of money. |

Didn't think it was particularly memorable or special, but decades on... Would the second be worth seeing with that in mind? |

Even Mission Impossible: Fallout--which is his highest-grossing film at $787 million--opened to a relatively low $61 million in 2012."

Saw it last night in Imax and thought it was a great homage to the original. Was it hyper accurate and a bit cheesy at times? Sure. That being said I had a nerdy smile on my face through the entire movie.

The movie was very entertaining, checks all the current stereotypical boxes, without being too woke. The story pays homage to the OG in a tasteful way. The story was not too predictable, but was campy in parts. The action is great. Tom is starting to really show his age. Tom and JC have zero chemistry and their scenes feel forced.
If you’re a ‘action scenes needs to be correct or else it sucks’ movie watcher, you will not enjoy it. You have to suspend a lot of reality to watch the action scenes. Edited ~ medicmandan |

I saw it at the afternoon matinee for $4. It was silly at times, but that's what I came prepared for.
Final mission reminded me of some of those DCS challenges placed on Youtube by the Grim Reapers. Visuals make up for it. I was expecting to see an intense light and sound show and it didn't disappoint. Loads of nostalgia and items that hearken back tot he first film, and the airplane pron is great.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Tom and JC have zero chemistry and their scenes feel forced. It's always like that with Tom Cruise because he's fucking weird. Whenever he is on camera, he's acting. If you've watched the videos where he talks about Scientology, you get a glimpse into how completely odd the dude is. His last wife was chosen and groomed by the church of Scientology, for fuck's sake. His on-screen romances never seem natural and I strongly suspect it's because he's a psychopath and incapable of real human emotion. Dude's a great actor but something in his brain is broken. |
