katikatI went to see Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation yesterday and I had a blast! I would rate it 8/10 or 4/5, it's one of the best movies of this year and I hope very much that there's a sequel with this cast, Cruise, Renner, Ferguson and Pegg.
The movie is hilarious! Simon Pegg's always funny but Cruise and Renner have the perfect comic timing! And - wonder of wonders - Alec Baldwin, too. Hunley (Baldwin) and Brandt's (Renner) scenes are simply LOL-worthy! And I'm so happy that, with all the demand to go dark and gritty these days, MI did not. They went pretty much in exactly the opposite direction. It's funny and sweet and sexy and the friendships in this movie are simply priceless, especially between Hunt and Benji, and Hunt and Brandt, and to a lesser degree between Benji and Brandt.
But the scene stealer is definitely Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust. Ilsa is AMAZING! Move over, Black Widow, here comes Ilsa Faust! She's strong and capable - definitely Hunt's equal in every tiny detail - and she kills and she kicks ass and she's smart! But at the same time, she's glamorous and vulnerable and deeply hurt and sweet, too. And she's no double crossing bitch, she tries to always, ALWAYS do the right thing, even if it costs her. And she's simply unbelievably awesome!
So, thumbs up from me. If you get the chance to see it, do it! It's worth it!
