Tom Cruise still got it

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 2015)

I didn't have the chance to see Rogue Nation to the theater so when it was available on YouTube I jumped on the occasion.
I have to say that MI5 is still as entertaining as the previous movies. It is still focused on the fun and action rather than the story. There are still a lot of explosions, a lot of spectacular crashes and the handsome Tom Cruise is still looking for more extreme stunts.
I would say there are some inconsistencies especially seeing Tom Cruise and his team without a scratch not even a torn shirt while they literally go through a lot of trouble. The biggest example is that car chase which ends up in a spectacular crash with the car rolling over between the trunk and the hood endlessly and when it finally stops, you see Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg saying to Jeremy Renner and Vingh Rhimes 'hey guys how are you going?'. While Renner and Rhimes are joking around with Pegg while getting him out of the wreck, Tom, apparently not shaken, take the bike of one of the bad guys and continue the chase! I agree it is fun and cool but really not realistic. In the real world, you would be dead or at least in a wheelchair. Here there is not even a scratch! Real supermen solid like a rock. They would be in a crashing plane, you would see them walking around carrying several victims on their back. With no scratches on them of course.
So That's why I find it less interesting than Spectre. It is enjoyable to see but it is far from being as deep as the current 007 saga at least concerning the plot. But I liked it anyway. I certainly had a good time watching Rogue Nation.
