Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018)

The middle part of this movie was bland but the climax was perfect. A time limit with impossible odds. Henry Cavill is fantastic as always. This was the first Mission Impossible to get me in the feels at all. This is Mission Impossible in its top form. Where do they go now to increase spectacle and action? I have no idea. It would be nice if the threat wasn’t nukes again. I could do with a personal vendetta or something more tech-based as the ultimate threat. This is a fine movie but the runtime should have been trimmed up a bit. I think 10-15 minutes off would have been perfect. This hits all the checkmarks it needs and I hope it continues to improve.
