Mission Impossible-The Final Reckoning (May 23, 2025)

jeez why do you hate women trag

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Cruise said he plans to make these movies til he’s 80.

[The Argonaut]

This was not the phenomenal success I was expecting.

But that may be partially my fault. I may have gone in with expectations of Top Gun Maverick 2. And it isn't that. The movie reminded me of that fact right away, though. Maverick starts like a Tony Scott movie and this starts not unlike how a sixties TV show might start.

So I was able to re-calibrate quickly and remind myself this is the MI franchise, which I admire but have never loved.

But even judging against other MI movies, I don't think this one quite reaches the standard. Haley Atwell is a charming and welcome addition, and Pom Klementieff does a tremendous job. I think it would have been very easy to play her part like some sort of humanoid robot Terminator, but she gets a lot of subtle emotions in there. She does a lot of subtle work with very little lines. A+ for her.

There's one action sequence I really enjoyed, and a couple others that were cool. But I'm not sure there's anything in this one that is going to live on in my imagination the way many earlier moments from this series do.

I'm revising my initial prediction from big time box office bucks to regular hit. I don't see this one generating massive word of mouth. And it didn't leave me excited for an upcoming part 2 the way this summer's Spiderverse movie did.

Go ahead and go see it, you'll have fun. I did

Is there a motorcycle chase? There’s GOTTA be a motorcycle chase.

I'm glad you had a great time, argo.

[Ensign9]

Well said, Argo. This was incredibly stupid but I enjoyed it a lot.

That was a great time at the movies. It's not as good as Fallout. Did not enjoy the fridging of

But very good. A solid second place in the franchise. I think it's a good example of a cliffhanger done right, where the movie still feels like a narrative complete whole, as opposed to Spiderverse which felt very incomplete and unsatisfying to me.

Love to watch that man run

[VinylGuy]

Yes yes yes

Fascinating. Damn those action scenes. The cast is fucking A. Loved Haley Atwell.
Can’t wait to see it again

I’ll imax this one soon

[Anders]

Both this and the last one, had scenes filmed in Norway, but for the previous one they called it India, and in this one they called it Austria. The scenes in this one, were filmed just outside the city I grew up in.

[VinylGuy]

That Klementieff girl was so fucking good. Iconic.

[The Argonaut]

That Klementieff girl was so fucking good. Iconic.

Right!? She couldn't have been better

[Farmer John]

I agree with the general consensus here. Loved it. Tons of fun. Can't wait to watch it again. Not as good as Fallout.

Easily the silliest of the three McQuarrie instalments, but that's alright.

I kind of agree, but that might just be because I'm in love with [redacted].

[Jorge]

It was cheap. One of the movie's biggest flaws, I think, and part of the reason I didn't like it as much as Fallout

[VinylGuy]

why? i loved the sequence.
