Franchise has gone bonkers. All this from a 70s tv show. From spy to Ethan Hunt as prophet. We will tell our kids stories of Tom cruise and these movies will be the only thing that stops them from putting us all in mental institutions. Christopher McQuarrie is a legend. Ving Rhames is Optimus prime. Simon Pegg is king. Pom Klementieff. Hayley Atwell is Mary Magdalene. Mission impossible is cinema.

“Do not consider him secured unless you have driven a wooden stake right through his heart.”

Never going to be able to talk about this in a reasonable way. So good, almost hilariously so. Chaplin, Lang, Keaton, Hawks, everybody eat your hearts out. The slo mo when the train crashes is probably the most Cinema 5 seconds ever. Hayley atwell’s introduction is electric. This is almost 3 hours that feels like an 80 minute sprint. McQ gets it. The president gets it. So good it almost doesn’t matter that they killed Ilsa off (I have money on her being in final reckoning). Greatness.
