I 100% believe that last shot on the motorcycle and Cruise going over the edge was all real and not CGI with Tom doing the stunt.

Love him or hate him Cruise is committed to his craft and works extremely hard at skydiving, driving and all stunt work. The director of Rogue Nation told Simon Pegg that he would be doing a scene with with Cruise driving and he told Pegg don't worry because Tom is the best stunt driver here.

Yeah, I believe it as well. The stunt guys all love working with Tom and is said to be the biggest professional in the industry. He also demands to meet all the PAs during the shoot and remembers them pretty immediately.

Yeah he flipped out during a shoot that happened during Covid, but Tom is also the producer and that could cost them millions of dollars if they didn’t follow protocol and someone got Covid. It’s just too bad Tom is a Scientologist nut, because I like the guy outside of that.

Have enjoyed every MI movie

An actor in search of a character... There's ambiguity...the interesting thing we're exploring is her resistance to a situation she finds herself in. How she starts off, where she becomes. The journey of what she comes into and what is asked of her and potentially where she ends up."[4]

Appears so, seems like they will push Atwell alot.

Idk why but I love the fact they brought back Kittridge from the very first one to be Ethan’s final foil.

---

They also brought back a train-tunnel duel.

Bringing out the holy trinity of Ferguson, Kirby, and Atwell

I really love all these movies. Very rewatchable. I'll usually pick one to watch when flying, and it makes the flight go by quickly.

That trailer is basically everything that people love about Mission: Impossible movies.

The rise of this franchise has made the demise of the James Bond franchise irrelevant. Love these movies.

Take my money now

Tom Cruise makes better James Bond movies than 007.

is Jeremy Renner just gone from the franchise?

Was giving Cruise too much corner heat. He had to go.
