For some reason this one doesn't keep me as interested as the 3rd and 4th one. I think the whole syndicate thing isn't the most exciting for me.
I do love the incredible plane stunt and I found out that Tom Cruise held his breath for 6 minutes during shooting, which was a record. The chase scene is also very cool and the opera scene is phenomenal.
So enough stuff to make it a good movie, just a step down (for me) from the previous ones.
I said in my review of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) that I'd have to watch and compare this with that and Spectre… Well, here we are.
The 2015 Mission: Impossible installment roundly beats out The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in writing, production, and on-screen chemistry. Rebecca Ferguson is no Alicia Vikander (LOVED her in Ex Machina), but the interactions between both leading men worked much, MUCH better in this film. It helps that Christopher McQuarrie let this film have a much calmer editing style—it's a hell of a lot easier to follow than Guy Ritchie's chaotic simul-action sequences with 2-5 camera views on screen at once.
I'm still undecided whether I like Spectre or M:I better for my top 2015 spy film, but I'm officially knocking U.N.C.L.E. out of the running. MI-6 and the IMF can duke it out.
(It's entirely possible that I'm being easier on this film because I lack a solid background with the franchise; I've seen very little M:I compared to U.N.C.L.E. But I don't think that's why I like this one so MUCH more.)

Yeah this one slaps. The story is compelling, the stunts are some of the best of the whole series and the action is crisp. It has just the right amount of comedy mixed in with high stakes to make you sit back and enjoy the show. Also, Rebecca Ferguson is perfect for this role.
A franchise that gets better with each installment, this was great, the set pieces were brilliant, and the team know exactly what works now, The Cruiser for me is the Postman, he always delivers!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this
