The hero who makes people feel embarrassed does not die

The first time I watched this film, I was still in middle school. At that time, the film resources were not as developed as they are now. I watched the film with a few DVDs. At that time, I got acquainted with the music of MI series movies and Tom Cruise through this movie. At that time, I thought the movie was very good, the scene was very exciting, the male lead was very handsome, but I just thought that the hero’s immortality was too nonsense and too fake. Until today, I watched it again, and I felt that it was really weak compared to the first one. The plot is simple, but the biggest problem: the hero is not dead and there are many brain-dead scenes designed purely to show the hero's handsome image. This is a bit pass. Maybe it was because of that era. In short, I gave four stars for the excitement when I watched the film.

Dr. Nekhorvich: [from a video recording presented by Swanbeck with Ethan watching] Every search for a hero must begin with something that every hero requires: A villain.

Mission Commander Swanbeck: [seeing and hearing his briefing through sunglasses and it's earpieces] Good morning, Mr. Hunt. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves the recovery of a stolen item designated "Chimera." You may select any two team members, but it is essential that the third member of your team be Nyah Nordoff-Hall. She is a civilian, and a highly capable professional thief. You have forty-eight hours to recruit Miss Hall and meet me in Seville to receive your assignment. As always, should any member of your team be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions. And Mr. Hunt, the next time you go on holiday, please be good enough to let us know where you're going. This message will self-destruct in five seconds.
Ethan Hunt: [5 seconds before he throws the sunglasses in front of him] I let you know where I'm going, I won't be on holiday.
