Years are not forgiving

I watched the previous three "Mission Impossible" for a few days in a row.
The first part is a classic, the perfect beginning of the "Mission Impossible" series; the second part is even more perfect, with more than the first part in every aspect, exciting and memorable; the third part, not only in the plot The arrangement or Tom Cruise's acting has a very obvious regression.
The slightly conventional plot is full of "urine spots" all the time in the middle and latter parts of the film. It looks very boring, more than two hours on set, will make people feel unable to sit still and watch.
Tom is indeed getting old. Although he is still outstanding, he is nowhere near the same level as the first two films.
The addition of Chinese elements may be the magic weapon for attracting mainland audiences at the box office, but apart from the vast number of Chinese extras, there is no positive portrayal of China at all. In addition to that ancient town, it should be Xitang. The fly in the ointment is to take the daytime scene, if the night should be beautiful. Brother Tom's Chinese is very funny, but a bit redundant and tasteless.
