The Mission Impossible movies have been renowned for their thrilling and original action set pieces, so how does this one stack up against the others? Fallout delivers some fun moment but ultimately nothing I haven't seen before, a franchise that has hung tom cruise out of planes and had him spider up walls is now only concerned with regular foot chases and car chases.

As said before, the action entertains in the moment but if I were to go back to any Mission Impossible movie I know it wouldn't be this one, as not only is the action less inspired but the story is too, with out of nowhere character moments, and a cliché diffuse the bomb story, and a predictable secret agent betrayal, the story had me snoozing and just checking my watch hoping it would end soon.

The actors are passable, although it seems they're not giving it their all like they have before, Henry Cavill and Simon Pegg give particularly questionable performances. Combine that with bog standard cliché dialogue that had me rolling my eyes at times, and comedy that really didn't land (we're seriously still doing the "character doesn't notice something going on outside the window" gag?), and I feel the movie really isn't worth sitting through for the action sequences (which were well shot might I add) and score.

Tom Cruise is still a legend for everything he puts on the line to make his action scenes believable, but he deserves better material to work with.
