Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoningopewned three days ago (5.12). So what’s the HE community verdict? C’mon, cough it up.
The Metacritic score (only two-thirds of critics approve, roughly the same in the case of Joe and Jane Popcorn) tells you there’s trouble in River City. (The Rotten Tomatoes 80% score is meaningless — that site is crawling with whores).
Having seen it 11 or 12 days ago and soon after posted my somewhat bewildered review, I’ve been feeling more and more anoyance with Tom Cruise‘s Ethan Hunt having been pretty much deified. Hunt is spoken of and deferred to with the same respect and reverence offered to Angela Bassett‘s U.S. President (former CIA honcho Erika Sloane). He might as well as be Superman in a Warner Bros. D.C. film.
What happened to the idea of major government authorities pledging to disavow any knowledge of Hunt and/or the M:I force if things theoretically go south? Final Reckoning‘s Hunt is completely out of the shadows. He could host his own CNN show, or even run for President himself.
