With as out of control as inflation is these days, for all we know, $10.99 might become the new $9.99 before that happens. If auto manufacturers have raised their prices (done away with incentives) to cover their new auto worker contracts, is it really such a stretch to think that movie studios won't do the same to cover their new writers and SAG-AFRA contracts?
Ghost Protocol I can put on any time of the day, and Rogue Nation is enjoyable as well. The first can also be watched any time.
this one felt a little too ... through the motions at times? There's been "Tom Cruise loves riding motorcycles" consecutively for so long now and this one had to have two?
It also really felt like it was just teasing you the whole time going "there's gonna be a part 2, so we'll explain then" and unlike Across the Spider-Verse, which was for all intents and purposes self-contained enough while also leaving you with a satisfying "get hyped for part 2" (like Empire Strikes Back) this one totally went "you get nothing, now wait for a while"
Tom Cruise is still enjoyable in everything he does (watch Collateral if you haven't, btw) but this felt a little too "have to do these set pieces and action sequences because it's 'what we do' now"
That said, worth a watch but I wouldn't give it more than 5 bucks until the actual conclusion and explanation happens.

From 2 on they became stunt-driven action movies. I really don't mind that as long as they were SMART. You have to realize, the first one worked in spite of its lone fight scene being Tom Cruise nearly getting his ass kicked by Jon Voight(!)
Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation are the sweet spot for me. You have all the fun of the high risk missions on top of peak Tom Cruise Nearly Killing Himself for Our Entertainment. The Burj Dubai stunt is cool partially because it's part of a well-plotted, tense and exciting heist.
Now all we have left is the backstabbing and the action, very obviously arranged to support Cruise riding a dirtbike off a cliff, which may have been really dangerous but on screen is kinda ... whatever. At what point does Ethan Hunt amaze us with what comes out of his brain? The entire movie makes less sense than the "[email protected]" scene from the first one.
I can't complain. I thought Fallout ended in a good place for everyone so I still have 5 incredible movies I can watch over and over again. If they do more Mission Impossible it really should be a reboot of the TV series with an ensemble cast.
