With CIA agent August Walker joining the team, Ethan and his allies must now find the plutonium cores before it's too late.Written by

In the final fight The helicopter was being held on by a nylon rope to a hook on the rock. *maybe* enough to hold the 2000# ACFT wreck, Yet, when Hunt is climbing the rope, there is enough slack for him to use the wrap in the rope around his leg, to climb the line, When the Acft slips and falls with his leg wrapped around the rope there would be enough power to sever his leg.

Solomon Lane:
There cannot be peace without first a great suffering. The greater the suffering, the greater the peace. The end you've always feared... is coming. It's coming, and the blood will be on your hands.

Don't get me wrong, the movie is not bad. But it's not as good as critics claimed to be, either.
Metacritic critics gave this movie 86/100 score(based on 59 critics). RT critics gave this movie 8.4 rating(with 263 reviews, 7 of them rotten = %97). Metacritic critics gave TDK 82/100 score(based on 39 critics). RT critics gave TDK 8.6 rating(with 329 reviews, 20 of them rotten = %94). I know i look like a random dude who criticizes these so called critics. But how can they rate TDK so low, and this movie so high?
****Spoilers ahead****
First of all, there are needless plot twists that you can not understand. Why did Erica Sloan(Angela Bassett) turn against IMF? What triggered her? Her reasons is just not enough. How did August Walker's(Henry Cavill) men infiltrate Sloan's team? We don't know much about it. They don't tell us. Sure, It was pretty cool, but my immersion was ruined, and it could have been written more subtle. Second of all, the elevator scene. Okay, that scene was pretty essential for the movie. August Walker(Cavill) pulls a picture of Ethan's ex-wife to him(clearly he carries it all the time) and says this and that will happen, but the reason why he didn't kill Ethan is his evil friend got some pointless plan for him after more than half of the population is dead. But wait, 30 minutes after that scene, Walker shoots to kill Ethan with a machine gun without thinking his friend's plan. They tucked a weak reason in the movie so that they could just ignore it and make a fool of the audience. Thirdly, Solomon Lane, a pretty genius guy, pulls his enemies to their objective and fights with them face to face. That's very cool but why? Why did he aggro'd them? This writing could have been much much better. They could have given him more clever things to do. They could have portrayed him more clever. Fourthly, a countdown. Suprise, surprise. I really wonder why evil people put a countdown on these things. Just to tense the audience? I really don't know. Guess what happened in the end. The good guys lost and the bad guys win. Billions are dead. That was totally unexpected and hard to guessed. Finally, the ending. You don't leave the theater with ''wow'', ''holy jesus'' expressions. Because they've already ended the movie before the end. Sure, it has a deserved and a great dark/grim ending which every plot and dialogue constantly instigated throughout the movie. But you didn't get a big feeling like you did get after the TDK ended, you didn't carried away. Or, you didn't sit like you did sit after the Infinity War ended.
****Spoilers ends****
Overall the movie is not bad. Some cliches -other than that countdown thing- were involved but you really don't care that much. Stunts were unreal, Tom Cruise really killed it this time. There was no forced romantic subplot, which was nice for me. Action scenes holds up. Set-pieces were great. The cinematography was very satisfying at times. The sound editing was good. The acting was good. The pace was good. It's just that the writing could have been much more in-depth. Or maybe it's just me. After seeing that god tier reviews from the critics, i expected something perfect. Of course I'm not saying it was bad. I'm just trying to point it out that this movie doesn't deserve to be this close to ''The Dark Knight'' at the rating or on the praising matters. The dialogues are not even close to the TDK's level. I guess critics doesn't care about these small points.
