Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by John K — 12 Dec 2018

This sequel just doesn't deliver for me. This is the sequel where we say -- enough is enough and a bridge too far and jump the shark and all those cliches. And it's too bad because the last MI was quite good, but with this current entry the franchise has veered into pure action for the sake of action, without wasting much time on story or character development. My wife and I agreed, the story is disjointed, the dialogue is odd, and unexpected things happen at unexpected times, usually I suppose just for the sake of keeping the action going.

It's hard for us to take Alec Baldwin seriously.

I guess, in the final analysis, some of us need Plot to drive a movie, and some of us need only motorcycles to do that.
