So, yeah. Pretty much everything I said about RN can be applied to this one. I really did not enjoy this movie. The end helicopter stuff looked really cool in 4K (I’m so glad they preserved the VAR), but that’s about all I can say. This movie gave me no reason to care about anyone or anything in it. It looked ugly. The action was sterile and bland (I badly miss the brutal messiness of Ghost Protocol). Once again, it feels palpably soulless and detached. McQuarrie is dumbing himself down to make these, and he’s dumbing the franchise down in the process. I really hope he doesn’t do a third one.LoathedVermin72 wrote:So I recently rewatched the first five MI movies on 4K, and came away more nervous than ever about Fallout, because Rogue Nation is the only one of the first five that I dislike. In fact, I think it’s kind of a disaster. I found it cold, soulless, and detached, with TERRIBLE exposition scenes of the most boring kind, dumb meta “exploration” of the IMF being “outdated” (just like Skyfall addressing the Bond franchise’s reputation for sexism/chauvinism, expect it doesn’t even make sense here because the MI movies have no such reputation), and full of callous, empty violence and death. McQuarrie is such a bad fit for this franchise; his cool, calculated style was perfect for the brutal, neo-noir slickness of Jack Reacher, but feels all wrong here. The set pieces and action are forgettable. Nothing works. I really did not like this movie.
Current ranking:
Ghost Protocol
III
Mission: Impossible
II
Rogue Nation
Best of the franchise for sureE.H. Ruddock wrote:Ghost Protocol is so good. I just watched it again recently

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.
