In our opinion, the most important basis for judging whether a movie is good or not is the story and its core . Even if the requirements for action movies and other movies can be relaxed appropriately, if the plot is too bad, it will be terrible if you do other things well. It's hard to be funny.
There are very few movies that can win applause just by relying on action scenes, and the "Mission: Impossible" series is one of the best.
Ethan Hunt has been in the IMF for 22 years and has reached his sixth movie. Tom is 56 years old. This hard-hitting man is still on the front line like a madman who is not afraid of death . This beautiful talk has naturally become a "disc" Impossible 6"'s biggest publicity stunt.
However, if you went to see "Mission Impossible 6: Total Disintegration" just to see Tom doing "Mission Impossible" again, then you will definitely feel... pleasantly surprised, because this film is not limited to wonderful sensory stimulation- "There are never outdated routines, only creative people who are not enterprising".
[Friendly reminder: There will be minor spoilers below. 】
Shocking crises, conspiracy plans, fighting gunfights, technological equipment, plot reversals... Any action movie with the theme of secret agents can't escape these eternal "three axes" .
Compared with the predecessors or juniors such as Bond, Byrne, Kingsman, etc., Ethan Hunt can be active today, and its core selling point is the "challenge the impossible" in black and white.
Different from the fighting situation in the past, where the guns were always aligned to the outside world, "Complete Disintegration" played a new trick this time: first let Ethan screw up once, and then the CIA took the opportunity to insert a "not inferior to Ethan" into the IMF. Comrade" Walker.
Thanks to the protagonist's temperament of "Super Super" Henry Cavill, his role as the male supporting role this time has well "turbuled" the inherent temperament of the series' IMF dominance , or deliberately or accidentally added inconvenience to the completion of the task. Less difficulty, so that the film has a certain freshness.
Although there are not too many characters in the film, the complexity is very "considerable" .
On the face of it, the mission this time is to let the IMF make up for the fault and get the plutonium ball back. The direct opponent is the "apostle", but then the forces involved include the CIA and the white widow-led brokerage organization who want to correct their own mistakes and realize their ambitions. Solomon Lane, the ideal former leader of the "Syndicate", MI6 who hopes to obliterate Lane, etc. - there are many characters, and the sense of hierarchy is obvious. In short, the audience still has to use a little brains to understand.
As far as the plot arrangement is concerned, "Complete Disintegration" is better than nearly 80% of the action films.
Of course, the "teamwork" of the "Mission: Impossible" series has also been carried forward in this film.
In addition to Ethan and Luther, who are unstoppable, the position of Benjy, who is also Zhuang and Xie, has been fixed. The boss Henry and Ilsa, who joined in the middle of the battle, also add a lot to the film.
As for the biggest selling point of the movie, "action scenes", we can safely say: it's beautiful! Although not too hot, but definitely not ambiguous!
With a little attention, you will find that the action scenes of "Total Disintegration" generally follow a step-by-step rhythm . Scenes such as street racing and parkour tracking are gradually upgraded until the final helicopter battle.
The film achieves "what others have, I am at least no worse than others; what others do not have, I have to play new tricks."
Take the last chase scene as an example: picking up helicopters and engaging in "free fall" is commonplace; Brother Tom learns how to drive a helicopter himself, and even performs a "spiral flight" that even professional pilots dare not play; After the crash, he got stuck in the crevice of the mountain and made a "straight down attack"; the wreckage that was hooked to the side of Ethan and Walker's cliff fighting was not only an object that created a tense environment, but also a key prop to defeat the enemy; then Ethan used his bare hands Rock climbing races against time to get the controls, it's still an "old song and new song"...
It's not new to take it out at any point, but if it is played together to this extent, only the "Mission Impossible" series is unique.
It's no wonder that so many people praise "Complete Disintegration": the routine is that routine, but the level is high or low, this film must be "excellent".
But personally, what I like most about "Mission: Impossible 6: Total Disintegration" is not the action scenes full of sincerity, but the emotional scenes with little emphasis and considerable weight.
There is no doubt that the theme of this film is "action espionage", and other elements are just adjustments - but the film uses Ethan's dream of "remorseful marriage" as the opening, which is undoubtedly a bit risky and incongruous.
Julia is Ethan's "let go for love" ex-wife, and Ryan is Ethan's sworn enemy.
After watching the film and after reviewing the beginning and the details in the film, you will find that this design is quite ingenious. Although Ethan's feelings are embellished in a small space in the film, but through the first (point), one (explanation), one The display of the tail (experience), Ethan Hunt's "tenderness" will have the effect of four or two.
Of course, it's not enough to have Julia in this part, Ilsa's role is just as crucial, if not more important .
As the main character who appeared in the previous "Mysterious Nation", Ilsa's character is first and foremost a killer and a special agent, but in "Total Disintegration", she not only appeared as an MI6 killer, but also became an Iraqi Another woman Mori only loved, which makes Ilsa's role very tense, and can have a good chemical reaction to any part of the film.
Having said that, I have to praise the casting, makeup, and shooting ability of "Mission Impossible 6" this time. Not to mention the male characters, the performance of several female characters can be said to be dazzling.
Erica Sloan (Angela Bassett) is strong and cunning, White Widow (Vanessa Kirby) is determined and sexy, Julia (Michelle Monaghan) is gentle and intelligent... …
Even characters who have appeared before, or actors who have not been very eye-catching in other works, seem to have a new feel in this film, which is refreshing.
Of course, the main reason for me to say such "irrational" words is Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa - how can she be so beautiful? !
Whether watching the stills or the feature film, whether it's all black tights or normal casual wear, Rebecca is always full of mature, elegant and intellectual charm, which is really pleasing to the eye.
It's strange to say that when it comes to Rebecca's outfit in "Total Disintegration" this time, it's not as sexy as in "Mysterious Nation" last time, why is the temptation more and more attractive, and every time I see it There seem to be new highlights (with "The King of the Circus" in between)...
Uh uh huh... gaffe.
Overall, I think "Mission Impossible 6: Total Disintegration" is not as good as the previous foreign media boasted, and it is a little overblown, but in today's film creation environment, and the heritage of the series itself, Those rave reviews are worth it—the movie is worth watching anyway.
