    Love it @DaltonCraig007. Once again, Cruise makes us remember classic Bond through MI.

    MI: GP

    Loved it as always. Such a step up from the last two in my opinion. It's the combination (and incorporation) of a little style along with the normal action and heroics that elevates this film. From the fabulous opening sequence in Budapest (which features none other than Lea Seydoux herself as crack assassin Sabine Moreau) it's clear that this film means business. The first time one sees Hunt in the PTS, he's coolly bouncing a ball of a prison wall in Moscow (a far cry from the first scene in the last film where he's strapped to a torture chair, helpless and frenzied), just before he smoothly breaks out accompanied by Dean Martin's Ain't That A Kick In The Head. These two opening sequences set the tone for the rest of the film. The action is truly first class, including the now famous Burj Khalifa climb, the sandstorm chase, the automated (and highly inventive) parking garage fight, and of course the Russian prison break. They are all done with a little wink/humour, which makes all the difference for me. One of my favourite scenes is Hunt's instinctive escape from the Moscow hospital - simple but highly effective. The team is outstanding too (Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner join Simon Pegg). I'm almost tempted to move this to #1, but I'll have to wait until I view MI:RN (my current top dog) tomorrow before making a final call.
    Excellent review. Captures the appeal of GP quite well.

    He doesn't die from that, but yes, exiting life via Rebecca Ferguson's thighs is top of my list.

    He definitely looks better post GP than he did before.

    ...Well, at least for me... I used to hate his face a lot during the 2000s because he reminded me of a very formidable enemy of mine... in high school. :))

    I've noticed that too and it's more apparent when I go back and view his old films (including the earlier MI). There was something a bit 'crafty' (for lack of a better word) about him in the past. A bit smug and too slick. As he's aged that element has disappeared and he just looks a bit more weathered now, while still retaining his trademark looks.

    Really looking forward to MI: Fallout though with 25 TV spots and trailers that have accompanied films recently time to avoid this thread, I want to be surprised by a film every trailer is a spoiler now.

    It was my impression we'd be getting it during the Superbowl.

    I got the exact same vibes at that part, as well.
