Were they trying to rival Gail's Scream 3 haircut with Amanda's bizarre pixie cut in this?
Saw X is so much easier to follow since it does not weave itself through the timelines of all the other movies. I think it is inflating my feelings on it, because it was a relief to not have to Google the timeline during the movie.
Other than that, the plot of this one is probably the most solid in the franchise. Plot is sort of an afterthought in the others. I didn't watch any of the gross stuff.

Message From Space has some problems, the least of which is that it came out post Star Wars, but it is a super fun film!
Love the model work too. Doesn’t have the polish of the aforementioned space opera, but they look fantastic in their own way.
Boy, have I watched a lot of Mission Impossible in one week.
MI8 is pretty long, but I felt it more in the first third than the rest. I can't get into The Entity as the villain, and there was a lot of Entity talk, so I spent a considerable amount of time daydreaming.
Much like the last few, I'm here for the women. Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff were captivating. I missed Rebecca Ferguson though.
There were a lot of moments designed to channel MI nostalgia, but I don't have any since I just watched them all this week. That will probably be nice for the fans who've been on this journey for decades though.
Edited to add I LOVED MR. MILCHIK'S PARTS.
To start off, I don't own any video game systems let alone never heard of <I>Until Dawn</i> until the first trailer for the film came out, which looked fantastic. However, looks (maybe it's the acting and storyline?) can be deceiving.
What began with a short, yet exciting introduction to the film eventually dissolved into a repetitive mess of sorts. I believe there were a few missing pieces to the plot, such as how did this actual place come to be (not the town imploding junk they fed us), but I pushed those aside because I was too distracted by the acting and dialog between the cast. The characters went straight for each other's throats instead of team-building, therefore allowing themselves to be killed off one by one every evening they were stuck there. I gave up caring for them halfway through, rooting for their eventual demise each time.
What I did enjoy were the creatures and kills, as well as the spectacular set design, which really impressed me. My LG OLED TV's <B>Perfect Black</b> enabled a great watching experience by highlighting the darkness of the film, and while it made everything better, my one-star rating is a reflection of the film as a whole. Unfortunately, the gore and kills couldn't move it to three stars.
My favorite thing about this movie was saying "TITULAR LINE!" every time they said MI6 because this is Mission Impossible 6.
I like these more now that the stories are connected and there are recurring characters. It was hard not to root for Henry Cavill. I kind of did root for him.
Even if I didn't like this movie, I'd give it four stars for the OR scrubs joke. You know the one.
I'm so torn on this one. I love the women. Rebecca Ferguson is my favorite character in the franchise, and Hayley Atwell is my favorite in this one. It's also exciting and unusual to see Mantis, but not Mantis, and I love her. I would be super into a spinoff franchise with any one of them. Give me some prequels or something, and let's party.
On the other hand, I just can't get into this AI villain. What the heck. Bring back Philip Seymour Hoffman.
They should have made a spinoff franchise about Rebecca Ferguson's character, and I'd give all of those five stars and a heart.
Rogue Nation has my favorite plot so far, and they did not bring in any actors I like just to kill them immediately, so that was nice.
Wow, this movie did me dirty twice. Two separate times I say out loud "OMG ITS _______", and two separate times they are instantly killed. That is not cool. I didn't think it would be like that.
Ghost Protocol feels like a soft reboot, probably just because it looks so much better and less dated than the first three. MI3 still has my favorite cast of the bunch (Philip Seymour Hoffman and Keri Russell, obviously), but this is a more exciting watch. It's also funnier, and I like comedies more than action movies, so that's a win for me.
I like MI3's cast much more than the first two, especially Keri Russell. Overall I think Mission Impossible just isn't what I'm looking, but this is a solid watch for what it is.
I saw MI2 when it came out, and I never watched another one again. Now that I just rewatched it, I can see why I made that choice. I would be tempted to make it again, but I told my son I'd watch them all before we see the new one, and I usually keep my word.
Every cool thing that happens also happened in the first movie, and other than that it just doesn't do it for me. Thandie Newton is cute, Anthony Hopkins is there, and I like Tom's hair.
EMILIOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I like this a lot more than I did when I was 11, but I still don't love it.
