The good:
I liked that it was a true team effort at the end. It felt right, particularly compared to the TV show.
The submarine sequence not only reminded me of TND, but 2001 when Dave tries to break into the ship.
The callbacks generally paid off (for me at least, even if I didn't remember them).
There are plenty of places to go for a sequel. This didn't feel like a finale to me.
The bad:
The egos of Cruise and McQuarrie were on full display here. Stunts galore with little purpose to the story. McQuarrie needs NOT to direct the next MI. It's time for someone else in the director's chair.
Way too long. Most of the scenes could have a minute or two cut from them and it wouldn't be much different.
Overall, most of the praises and criticisms I have have already been said. Just have a better plan next time (and hopefully the world won't go through a MI type of event again). And have a new director!
Ideally it would be a TV series revival on streaming, and unlike the original 60s series the new show would actually have the cast going out on location to different countries throughout the world.
It would be nice for Tom Cruise to maybe appear as passing the baton to the new point man of the team. Have his voice be the one giving out the next mission. But I doubt he’d do that. I think he’s one of the few movie stars that have not crossed over onto streaming like so many other big names.
