Mission Impossible 6: Fallout
Everything I said about the previous movie applies to this one as well, it's mostly about the stakes rather than the stunts themselves, the story is bad, and generally there isn't that much to bite on here
The plot in this one is extra nonsensical, it's about a terrorist group obtaining 3 nuclear bombs that the IMF must stop. there are some pretty nice plot holes, like the first scene they kidnap and convince the designer of the bombs for information on them, they convince them by making them believe the bombs have already exploded, however, as it turns out the location of the actual bombs will turn out to be entirerily different so like how the fuck did they convince them like you should have KNOWN those were not the right locations, there is a lot of things being kinda dumb in the plot like for example, why would you choose to blow the 3 bombs on the same location if your goal is to cause as much damage as possible and also placing the 3 bombs in the same place will make it like WAY easier for it to be deactivated
Now, regarding those things I said I would cover once I watched this one to flesh out my thoughts, there are multiple things. First of all, all of the characters seem slightly psychopatic?, like, in most action films the protagonist is often not really enjoying it, they do it because they have to, in mission impossible they kill everyone with a smile in their face. William brandt in a scene was like "ohhhhhhhhhh this is so boring that I have to sit back and like hack stuff why can't I go in and shoot people" and i'm like wtf is wrong with you
Their concept of morality is also extremely fucked. The mission is not their first priority as it should be when there are 3 nuclear warheads about to explode in a unknown location, instead, that is the life of their friends, they're willing to risk their lifes to save 1 person. Seeing this you would go "ah, they are moralist and pacifist, I see, they do not want to kill anyone" that is absolutely not true, because the moment someone crosses them they kill them like if they were flies.
This point is actually brought up in both movies i've seen, as the CIA representative kinda go "dudes you should focus on the mission, casualties are to be expected in both sides" which i'm like THANK YOU SOMEONE SMART IN THIS MOVIE but then they make her comically villainistic to a point where I cant vouch for her either. That just showcases that the writing of the characters is very flat, they're either super cool and their life is worth more than the lifes of the entire rest of the planet or they're bad and deserve to be killed without showing mercy.
I know this movie is just meant to have cool stunts and stuff but like come on, can you make the characters not slightly psychopatic?
also, I don't think they know how to write women either, because every time there is a woman on screen there is genuinly sexual tension between them and the protagonist, and it's like whyyyyyyyyyyyy
placed in c tier I guess some of the stunts were cool I guess (also while I did enjoy this movie less than the prevous and retroactively made me enjoy the previous even less, I am not going to edit the rating, this is probably a D tier but i'm putting it in C tier just because I want to keep things consistent and I don't want to change my previous ratings)
