Did I say character? Yes, I see now. I don't know why I said that, I did indeed mean all of the drama. The endless excuses to wring out as much drama from the films as possible, and long run its course for me. Cruise has been adding drama into the mix over the last few films, but it has been kept in check so far. I wont worry until Jim Phelps comes back from the dead, revealed to be Hunt's father, and has been plotting revenge over the last 22 years.
M:I these days ridicules any competition when it comes to spectacle, while at least the last Bond film didn´t feel as if it had any spectacle in it at all.
It always bugs me in SP when we get the amazing helicopter footage and then the dodgy close ups of Craig and the CGI background, it was very noticable on the big screen.
Same with some of the shots in the motorcycle chase from Skyfall.
Perhaps we are close to this with Boyle/Hodge?
Of course that´s theory. In practice, naturally it´s easier to get things flowing when the director also knows how to write the screenplay.
Perhaps this is one explanation for the relative smoothness of the MI production from the last one to this one.
I would certainly hope that Chris McQ is already sitting down with Cruise with concepts/ideas for the next one rather than starting from scratch which seems to be the Bond process.
The same could be said of the Star Trek series?
Jason Bailey: Warning to impatient moviegoers, this one takes a hot minute to get going. But once it does, holy shit.
William Bibbiani: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT is nowhere near the best MI film, but it is a pretty good one, and the climax is a killer. For the record, I think ROGUE NATION is the best one.
Bryan Bishop, The Verge: Mission: Impossible - Fallout is worth every minute of Superman’s creepy digital Justice League mouth. But facial hair aside, it’s a hell of an action movie. Not perfect by any means, but it feels like the ultimate expression of Cruise’s “I will do every stunt EVER” mentality. And the IMAX photography is stunning.
Valerie Complex: Walked out of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT thinking: wow, Ghost Protocol is still the best in the franchise.
Bilge Ebiri, Village Voice: This movie is sex.
David Ehrlich, IndieWire: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — FALLOUT is easily the best action movie since Fury Road. just god-level stuff. the highest praise I can give a movie: I’m not even mad it’s making me late to Radiohead.
Kate Erbland, IndieWire: There needs to be a new MI movie every summer, because no other blockbuster franchise is, pound for pound, as entertaining and engrossing as this one has become.
Sean Fennessey, The Ringer: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT: the most fun franchise in movies retains the title. Make 100 of these, I cannot be sated.
Karen Han: if films were food then MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — FALLOUT would sustain me for YEARS
Tomris Laffly: Yup! The Mission Impossible franchise is my drug and I am HIGH on Fallout! Good gracious!
Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — FALLOUT is a masterpiece? Also I am working on a theory that Henry Cavill is a genius
Melissa Leon, The Daily Beast: oh man, Mission Impossible: Fallout is SO much fun. I have been yelling about it and smiling non-stop for an hour. THAT WAS AWESOME.
Germain Lussier: Mission: Impossible Fallout is relentless. It’s intense and so flat out exciting that you laugh because you can’t believe what you’re seeing. It’s incredible.
Dan Murrell, Screen Junkies: Mission: Impossible Fallout is another solid entry in the franchise. Twisty, funny, and with GREAT action. I think it’s unquestionably the best spy franchise around right now. Longer lived than Bourne and more consistent than Bond. I had a blast!
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly: Mission: Impossible—Fallout was the movie I was most excited about going into the summer. I was not even remotely disappointed.
Stuart Oldham: "Mission Impossible: Fallout" is phenomenal, a blistering caper w/ echoes of The Dark Knight.
Jordan Raup: Mission: Impossible - Fallout is like tiptoeing across a sky-high tightrope for 2.5 hours. Flawless momentum, genuinely jaw-dropping setpieces. Henry Cavill is a fantastic addition. The best action movie since Fury Road.
Joe Reid, Decider: The new Mission Impossible is a very silly movie indeed.
Christopher Rosen: “Mission: Impossible Fallout” is fully my shit 10 out of 10
Mike Ryan, Uproxx: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE FALLOUT is the rare true direct sequel in this series. And we learn the most about Ethan Hunt. It’s the SKYFALL of M:I movies. Also, yes, it’s insanely exhilarating.
Peter Sciretta, SlashFilm: Mission Impossible: Fallout is AMAZING. Best movie of the Summer. You must see it on the biggest screen possible.
Zack Sharf, IndieWire: Goddamn. “Fallout” is an A+ action movie. The movie has the momentum of a freight train going off the rails, and when it does it’s exhilarating. Each action scene is breathles/engrossing in intensity and execution.
David Sims, The Atlantic: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE FALLOUT at one point caused me to involuntarily make this noise: “AHOOO”. if ROGUE NATION is about how Ethan Hunt is the literal manifestation of destiny, FALLOUT is about how he’s the SPIRITUAL GLUE HOLDING HUMANITY ALL TOGETHER
Matt Singer, ScreenCrush: I come bearing a simple message: Go see MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT on the biggest screen possible. Awesome.
Nigel M. Smith, People: Vanessa Kirby is my new obsession after seeing MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — FALLOUT.
Jeff Sneider: MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE may be @TomCruise & @ChrisMcQuarrie’s THE DARK KNIGHT. This is EASILY the best active film franchise, the best action movie of the summer, and between 10 & 100 times better than ANY Marvel movie. Cruise is the greatest movie star there is, was, & EVER will be.
E. Oliver Whitney, ScreenCrush: Mission: Impossible - Fallout is a god damn insane blast and then some. loved every bit of it.
Esther Zuckerman, Thrillist: I have never felt my heart drop watching an action sequence the way I did during the final set piece of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT.
Thanks for compiling and sharing this @DaltonCraig007
Agreed. Awesome stuff!

It is a weird combination the person is clearly talking bollocks.
I'm incredibly eager to see how he'll do that after stating he wants to do two or three more. Each movie gets bigger and ballsier in terms of the stunts, I love it.
At the end of the programme, Alex Zane asks what is next, Tom says they already have some ideas in mind in terms of stunts.
"I'm envisioning flying a space shuttle, jumping out mid-flight to latch myself onto a satellite that needs fixed, just to tether back to the shuttle in the nick of time."

Edit:
Fallout currently at 91 on Metacritic.
No, those are early reactions/social media reactions you're thinking of, which were released earlier and are positive for essentially every single movie. These are official reviews.
Absolutely. There’s a big difference between early reactions from general audience/fans and actual reviews from movie reviewers. So needless to say, Fallout seems to be a hit.
I'd be inclined to agree. I can't imagine Babs or Craig would see this franchise as competition which is baffeling. They take their queues from other franchises like Batman and Bourne.
