The movie is primarily a vehicle for an ode to Tom Cruise and his movie career, secondarily a "positive life message" vehicle, and tertiary an okay/still entertaining action movie

The movie is almost 3 hours long and there are a bunch of segments that are just straight up montages/reminiscing of sequences in the previous mission impossible movies. It comes across as Tom Cruise literally jerking himself off, lmao. I mean yeah dude I liked your movies but this is pretty over the top

The movie also has a bunch of "philosophical" positive messaging that's very bluntly inserted into the dialogue, especially at the end of the movie. Total normiebabble nonsense like "your life is the sum of your choices," "the future is never written, you must will the future into being," etc. The messaging itself isn't bad or wrong, it's just extremely cheesy and forced and it's clear that Tom Cruise used this movie as a send-off vehicle for his personal philosophy. Maybe this stuff comes from Scientology? I don't know anything about Scientology. Anyway, it's his movie, so he has the right to do this, but I gotta say this movie is not going to hold up on re-watch due to all this goofy artificially forced in Tom Cruise-servicing stuff

As an action movie, it's okay. I enjoyed it. But it's actually one of the weaker mission impossible movies from an actual "entertaining action movie" standpoint. I'd say it's still worth a watch though. Tom Cruise does look pretty old, cuz he is fucking old at this point. And the plot doesn't actually make any sense if you stop and think about it. But who cares, fuck libs, Tom Cruise has almost singlehandedly saved the action movie archetype from them

the first movie was so distinct from the blockbuster shenanigans that followed, way more cerebral and understated, obviously that was De Palma's hand but it would have been cool if they stuck with more auteur-ish directors imo.

It was hilarious they couldn’t even make the submarine captain a white guy. Also note the Asian female secret service agent and Nick Offerman taking a bullet for big Mike POTUS while croaking out “madam president” as he died

The gay-voiced fruity negro submarine captain and the completely random, inappropriate butch lesbian in the submarine were pretty egregious. At least the niggerfemale "president" didn't act like a nigger. I did find it funny that the niggerfemale president was apparently a single mom with a son and no husband/father to him. Odd case

Note that they made Tom Cruise an O-5 rank when he was undercover on the carrier. As an old fart he’d have at least been an O-6 like in Top Gun

Haven't seen any of these since the first one, which I liked. (I recall that he had long hair in the second one, which grossed me out on men at the time, so I never saw it. Am I thinking of this right?)

Really liked the new Top Gun though. Although it would've been 180 awkward to have kelly mcgillis pop in at the end to reprise her role.

Somehow Tom Cruise circa MI2 and Colin Farrell circa True Detective season 2 pull off that hairstyle in a way that virtually nobody else can, it’s crazy (I love men btw)

Also agree about Top Gun 2 - it’s incredible that Tom Cruise is basically batting 1.000 for his career as a leading man: genuinely amazing discernment and unironic passion for timeless entertainment.

(All the other great movie stars had their fair share of mediocre movies over the years, even if guys like Mel Gibson or Charlton Heston or Jimmy Stewart et al. are always worth seeing just for their gorgeous Aslanian auras alone)

It was just boring. Why do we need 15 flash backs for the audience to recall plot points from the last 10 movies. Why does this boring ass plot need to be three hours long? Why is nuclear Armageddon literally the same boring threat in every one of these movies?

I think I liked the one with Henry Cavil in it but that’s about it.
