Anyone seen this yet? Decent flick I was looking at a magazine talking about the movie and it had the release date for the movie in my country being 8th of July - which I thought was odd, as that was a Saturday and movies usually are released here on a Thursday. I thought it must've been a misprint (wouldn't be the first time. I swear the editors of these mags don't actually proofread ANYTHING. The typos/mistakes I've found rival that of my own). Turns out...it actually *was* released here on a Saturday. I didn't realise this 'til a day or two later. Typically I like to go to a movie on its opening day, but I have had things to take care of at home and haven't had the time. Also, I read a spoiler which put me off. So, now this movie I was all gung-ho about seeing at the theatre will probably end up being one I wait for on DVD/Blu-ray instead. Sometimes my plans to go see certain movies at the theatre just don't work out - which is the case here.

This movie and Indiana Jones and the DOD both have scenes that take place on top of a moving train. However, the Indy scene looks like a cartoon compared to the train scene in this movie.

This movie franchise can teach others in Hollywood a lot. IT has been going on for 27 years and so far all the movies have been profitable but none are in the billion dollar club. This franchise knows what it is and it doesn't try to be anything else. It is a pure pulp action franchise that focuses on thrills and stunts with less CGI than we have grown used to and no attempts to be deeper or important or anything else. It is designed to be a fun time at the movies. Hopefully this latest movie, which unfortunately has a massive budget, will still be profitable so they can keep doing this.

Somehow I get the feeling certain people are overblowing her 'awesomeness' and it's more a case of she *looks* cool than anything else. This wouldn't be the first time such a thing has happened with a character. After all, Boba Fett hardly spoke in the original SW trilogy and suddenly he became thing big thing (same goes for Darth Maul. If he hadn't looked the way he did and spun his lightsaber really fast to dazzle the eye, I doubt many would've given two shits about him). Not that I mean any disrespect to Pom Klementieff, who I'm sure does a fine job (and she does certainly look pretty cool). But people have a tendency to overexaggerate how great a character is based solely on how they look some of the time.

Just got out a bit ago. Really good movie. 8/10 for me. Though I don't want to lean into the hype and say it's the best in the series. I still like Fallout and Rogue Nation better, but I'd probably put this on par with Ghost Protocol. Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff were great but Esai Morales was kind of bland as the villain. Although he is one of those antagonists that's such a smug know-it-all it's easy to hate him. The notion of Ethan Hunt being pitted against a rogue AI is actually less cheesy than it sounds.

So Mission: Impossible 8 got pushed back to 2025 and it won't even be called Dead Reckoning Part Two.

I don't like when they do 2 part movies. They did that with that last fast and furious movie. By the time the next one comes out I will have already forgotten what happened in the movie before it and have to rewatch it. I will wait till the next movie comes out and watch them in the same week.
