Trying to constantly one up the last movie may have finally caught up with the MI franchise. While Tom always plays Ethan to perfection, his key supporting cast are demoted to inject more nonsensical, "tough" female characters and for all the effort into finding beautiful European locations and shooting epic panning shots, the injection of unnecessary CGI detracts from the final product.
As good as Cruise is, he still is allowing silly nonsense where women are having hand to hand combat with grown men and some how last longer than 5 seconds or even more absurd overpower them. These scenes are so blatantly bad I actually wanted to stop watching this. In these sorts of films (realistically) women would need to rely on their intelligence, cunning and seductiveness when dealing with men but that is thrown out the window here and a poor final product is the result.
Ilsa was the weakest link in the last film but in this one she is joined by villainess "Paris" played by 132 pound Pom Klementieff who throws men around like The Rock taking out the trash and the new love interest "Grace" played by 130 pound Hayley Atwell who would last maybe 3 seconds in a real knife fight. These scenes are so unbelievably stupid this film should be categorized as fantasy. Women cannot overpower men, I am sorry to be the bearer of reality based news.
