Wonderful character development!

Powerful

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Simple story, but great story-telling. Ensure you've seen the last 3 MI movies to enrich your viewing experience of this 6th installment. This is why I love seeing bonafide action star Tom Cruise's action movies because he does most of the physical stunts himself. Plus, there are no annoying shaky cam, obvious CGI, quick edits, and/or off-the-center/close up framing of the action scenes to hide: lazy action sequences, actors' terrible physicality *cough Scarlet Johanssen's lame Black Widow cough* and/or blatant stunt doubles. Complete viewing immersion and the suspension of disbelief does not get broken once in Fallout for me. I'm not sure if Rebecca Ferguson and Henry Cavill used stunt doubles because that's how great the action stunts are - all perfectly seamless between actors and stunt doubles. My pet peeve when seeing action movies is when the stunts/action are so blatantly done by the stunt doubles *cough Scarlet Johanssen's lame Black Widow cough*. (BTW, convincing action stars Emily Blunt or Rebecca Ferguson would've played a better Black Widow because they have the physique/stature, athletic physicality, and a great wide range acting chops which would've done justice to the comics Black Widow).Every element of MI: Fallout falls in the spectrum of good to amazing. There is also moments of well timed and appropriate light comic relief provided by Simon Pegg that hits the marks unlike in a few Marvel movies. This movie is total entertainment and engaging from start to end. Fallout is best viewed on the big screen and is the best MI movie followed by Rogue Nation. My only complaint is that Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa Faust didn't get enough fight scenes.

Much worse than MI1 and even worse than the sequels. It's rating should be closer to 6.0. Plot is laughable even for the typical action movie, fight scenes are plain bad and special effects are not that good.

I was very fortunate to see this movie at a discounted ticket price for only about 8 bucks, which in this case was an extremely good deal, since it would have been very much worth the normal price of 16 bucks (yes, tickets are usually expensive in Denmark).Tom Cruise has once again found a new way to fascinate and amaze us with the same, good old, intriguing spy story, we all love.Now, because of the standard format of this movie, which has been the template for all the MI movies over the years, I nearly rated it 8 only. But after watching and reading some of the "Behind the scenes" features, which is actually just as exhilarating and entertaining as the movie itself, I realized that the the three latest MI movies simply are on a whole new, advanced level:Not only do we get to see a lot of cool action scenes, ie. car chases, well-choreographed fist fights and the usual bomb defusing scene, which you should expect from a MI movie, but because of the fact that we know about Mr. Cruise´s aversion towards a green screen, this movie reaches entirely new heights.Just now, it is dawning on me, how much more effort and real life heroism went into making the later MI movies over the older ones.To bring this short review down to earth again, I can only submit it with the following statement: Tom Cruise´s movie career, like his looks, ages like fine wine. It simply gets better each time, which absolutely amazes me. What a unique actor indeed. However, of course I should not forget to mention the great job all the co-stars also do, because one man shouldn´t steal the focus for an entire movie, but since Tom + director, crew, countless instructors and stunt choreographers have put so much off-screen effort into it, I am going to make an exception in order to really highlight the hundreds and hundreds of hours of practise and preparation, which we don´t see. Because it seems to me that, in the case of Tom Cruise and his MI movies, the billable hours might just be much more numerous than most other movies.

Actually quite entertaining! Tom Cruise is excellent as ever.
