Although my words are heavy, I am not trying to give "Mission Impossible 5" a goose egg. I will judge it on a five-star system. I give three stars because the fighting scenes, actor performances, and soundtrack settings in this film can completely satisfy one. A requirement for an excellent popcorn movie. I deducted two stars because I can’t see the difference between "Mission Impossible 5" and the previous games. I can even say how it is different from traditional spy movies. Simply put, Ethan Hunt is a hero. The traits and personality of the movie are solidified, and the audience has become familiar with friends who can be treated casually. Once this kind of familiarity between the character and the audience is established, although the shooting cost is saved, it also means that the film has entered. There is nothing new, from the beginning to see through the end of the list of vulgar movies, this series has also begun to move towards the edge of death, the situation encountered by the 007 series before "007: Breaking the Sky" is the "Mission Impossible" series The current situation.
If you ask me, the story of Tom's picking up a plane, theater battles, 6 minutes of extreme suffocation underwater, city drag racing, highway chases, etc. is not exciting, the IMF team set out the chaos anyway and saved the world in distress with bearing humiliation. It looks good, of course the answer I gave is yes, but you have to ask me if it shocks me, my answer is no. If the magnificence of the scene alone defines the quality of a story, I can only say that after viewing hundreds of popcorn movies, my eyes are not so satisfied. Christopher Nolan is already in a two-dimensional plane. Constructed a five-dimensional space picture, can the mere human killing behavior hit my G-spot with one blow?
Moving movies, or moving stories, hardly win by scenes (so "Avatar" is just an ordinary popcorn movie in film history), and it is not disadvantageous to move the audience or readers by the inner character of the characters, so When we watch dramas such as "The Gift in Room 7" and "The Time Traveler's Wife", we tend to weep and forget the core plot. "Mission Impossible 5" does not have such magical powers, it is not even as strong as the visual shock that "Mission Impossible 4" brings to the audience, and I personally like "Mission Impossible 3" completely because of the red dress. Maggie Q of all living beings. In this way, I cannot deny that I am a visual animal, but the attempt of "Mission Impossible 5" to impress me in terms of the film's story and the visual impact is a failure, because even if it is out of sight It hasn’t been more than 2 hours since the end of the movie. I don’t remember the heroine's name at all. Even the plot is blurred. The only thing left is Tom’s dark and pleated face. This may be because of "Rising Clouds" and "Night Interview". In "Vampire", "Mr. Sweetheart", and "Mission Impossible 1", Brother Tom is too handsome, and now half a hundred Brother Tom has no trace of the original. This kind of difference makes me unconsciously right. Tom’s face has been scanned and memorized many times (and I can’t be blamed on me, who asked the director to give Tom’s face a lot of close-ups, I had to memorize it over and over again). However, this also serves as a warning to the audience: Don’t be too nostalgic for the face when you are young, and hurry up to give rich connotations to your face (I’m not saying that Tom has no acting skills, he is a face-sweeping actor, but that I prefer the full-faced story now. Brad Pitt, who hates the feeling of powerlessness that is still called an old handsome guy at an age, an old handsome guy is a kind of ignorance of personal strength, and other people's incomplete trust in his ability.)
Compared with the previous story, the organization suffered internal betrayal, close teammates were killed, and rivals were provoked. The syndicate organization in "Mission Impossible 5" is too conservative to eliminate the IMF team. Although it is related to the survival of IFM, but There is no life or death threat to any member, and the development of the story is entirely due to Ethan's personal heroism, vowing to dig out the syndicate to prove his actions are correct. Borrowing the most popular method of destroying movies and TV shows, when the Director of the CIA requested the cancellation of the IMF group, Agent Brandt played by Jeremy Renner responded "Yes, it should have been cancelled long ago", so, " Mission Impossible 5" is over.
Since ancient times, heroes love bad women. Elsa played by Rebecca Ferguson is the MI6 double-sided agent who breaks into the syndicate. She is the only female character in the film, and of course, she is also a "bad woman" playing with heroes. It is said to put double quotes on the bad woman, that is, no matter whether it is the plot setting or Rebecca's personal play, the audience cannot believe that Elsa is a bad person. The plot of her and Tom’s love completely gave way to Tom’s salvation plot. As a result, the ambiguity imposed between them seemed very boring, and it was completely unmatched by Pierce Bruce in "007 The Dark Day Crisis" The emotional entanglement between Bond played by Nan and the bad woman played by Sophie Marceau, not to mention the love and cherishment between Ethan and the "sacred thief" played by Sandy Newton in "Mission: Impossible 2" . The flaw on the emotional line makes the film like a speeding car with flat tires. The faster you drive, the more miserable you will die.
Of course, a series of movies will inevitably encounter bottlenecks. The aging of actors, the growth of the new generation of audiences, the lack of story innovation, etc. will make a series of movies diminish or even die. The "Resident Evil" series is getting worse and worse. The end of the "Scream" series and the dying struggle of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series all show that the sequel movies that no longer tell good stories are shameless people who cheat money. Of course, by breaking the traditional image of the protagonist Bond, such as "The Great Crisis of the Sky", it makes Bond fall and lonely and establish a new image of flesh and blood, thus giving the 007 series of movies a new life. Movies are not nonexistent. Brother Tom also made a bold statement to shoot Mission Impossible 6, 7, 8..., and to shoot until the age (in fact, "Mission Impossible 6" is already in preparation, and filming started in 2016), I can't help but worry, if you follow the "Disc The routine and quality of "Mission Impossible 5" will continue to be filmed. It is estimated that when "Mission Impossible 7" is reached, the audience should beg Brother Tom to let it go, and let the "Mission Impossible" series come to an end.
A good sequel movie is new wine in an old bottle, but "Mission Impossible 5" is an old bottle with rotten water. The shortcomings in the plot setting cannot be remedied by Tom at high altitude, even if Tom is unable to fly at high altitude. Back to the days. If I could go back to the past like the Terminator, I would definitely slap myself a year ago and warn myself: I must have the lowest expectations for "Mission Impossible 5", otherwise my heartache will be comparable. These two ears hurt a lot.
