Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning: So I checked the RT and IMDB ratings of this and am absolutely flabbergasted that it is rated fairly highly. I think the final two Reckoning movies have been a pretty average end to a a pretty good series of movies.

Every action sequence in this film goes for at least double the length of time it needs to. It's a nearly three our movie that should only be two at most.

Oddly enough, despite the fact I didn't enjoy it, it was the closest to the type of MI film I've always wanted to see more akin to the TV show, where the team is not rogue.

They way overdid the Ethan is a real man struggling to do stuff. I mean a little bit of realism is fine, but not when you've got a guy swimming in the arctic multiple time and not dying.

The story is fucking silly, especially the big bad, it would even seem silly in the Marvel universe.

So it's more like a Bond movie..?

Yeah, like a modern Bond move that's not one of the good ones like Goldeneye or Casino Royale.

Hawkes Bay sux. Worst place in NZ BY FAR !

Yeah, it sucks, you should stay away. It's the place equivalent of Quantum of Solace.

Daniel Craigs worst.

The baddies were pretty shite I must admit and the plot was stupid, something about a water supply or something.....yawn.

Nice women and DC was decent though !
