Honestly this may be my most anticipated movie this year. Rogue Nation and Fallout were top notch Cruise. The latest trailer kicks ass.

I can't wait for this. I might watch them all from the beginning in anticipation.

This, Dune 2 and Napoleon for me.

I only recently watched this whole series and aside from the awful second one they're all good to great.

The second one is the worst one for sure, but it's still buttloads of fun in an over-the-top, cheesy way. Excellent motorcycle stunts, Ethan doing a lot of high kicks, the weird sexual tension between the two bad guys, the whole dove motif... real silly stuff. The worst thing about it is the score which is just fucking bizarre

I remember very little about the second one other than the doves and the slow-mo. And of course the hair.

Yes, she feels very feeble in the role. Apparently she had a tough time filming the movie. I also think this is a problem in the first movie, Emmanuelle Béart is totally miscast.
