Did not like MI3
Did not like my phone screen right after the movie
Did not like the weather walking to my car

That was 19 years ago; time to let it go El duderino.
If you're thinking about seeing MI8, don't do it as I feel it isslightly worse than MI3 and way too long.

Meant 8 obviously

Also the cast
Black female president all the woman soldiers…
The under the sea part
Actually what a joke…. The whole story for what it’s worth

Belated MI8 rant:

Really not as good as 4,5,6 and 7 or even 3 for that matter. 5 is my favourite.
To me it seemed like they saw the success of Oppenheimer after 7's box office and
tried to shoehorn a whole Nolan-esque nuclear plot finishing each others sentences-endless talking
carry on into 8. Very weird and it goes on for 1 hour 20 minutes that stuff.

The movie completely misses the hectic chase stuff and fun Ethan Hunt with his team mates and
Ethan Hunt outsmarting everyone in a massive twist (think of 5 with the bank accounts he remembers and shoving
the bad guy in a glass box like how Ethan was trapped at the beginning - a superb pay off, not to mention the
perfect intro with the fun team mates and Ethan hanging from the plane into the opening credits.).
8 misses an exciting intro "light the fuse" into sexy opening credits. It feels very
mechanical and simple. 7 was already a bit OTT with 20 minute intro but at least there was a pay off with the mask.
No masks in 8 either! - WHY?!

Another problem the music is completely sub par as the original composer was replaced by his assistants. Bizarre.

Story rants:
A twist could have been Ilsa Faust being alive and kicking Gabriel's ass at the end of 8,
as you blatantly saw a shot of Gabriel's knives at the Italian club/party scene in 7,
indicating something was up with them. (The knives that took out Ilsa).
So Luther saying Hunt should always be one step ahead of The Entity was not really acted on.
Also why would the entity after "taking over" "cyberspace" want to destroy it by launching nuclear armageddon
and hide in a small vault in South Africa and probably never get out of there ever again?
Truly insane "story"line.
Gabriel detached from the entity was insane. Gabriel constantly has massive nuclear bombs and henchman around.
Just not believable.
Would have been simpler just to include Solomon Lane in 8 for the finale or so who Gabriel and The Entity set free.
Since Lane was still alive.
Start with that in the intro, whatever...

Amazing stunts though and I respect Tom Cruise's hard work. But this indeed was a bad movie if you exclude that
and start comparing to previous instalments.
What a shame.
