Another late review, so I'll make this short.

My verdict? Fallout is a good continuation of the adventures of IMF agent Ethan Hunt, and a wonderful, great sequel to the previous movie in the franchise, Rogue Nation. The best thing about it and what I enjoyed the most is how the movie builds on the previous events in the franchise, very unlike the first M.I. trilogy. We have Luther from the first movies (who also cameoed in Ghost Protocol), Benji from Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation, Hunley and Ilsa from Rogue Nation and best of all, the reappearance of Ethan's wife Julia in a non-cameo role.

The logic of the storyline is also awesome. *Of course* the cutting of the Syndicate's head would have repercussions. *Of course* Ethan would not have totally gotten over his very personal issues with Solomon Lane. *Of course* Ilsa would still have issues with MI6.
I guess in a way, the story arc was quite un-extraordinary, but that's to be expected after great movies like Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation. Like, how better could they get? If the writers had put in too many twists, then it would have gotten quite ridiculous.

5 stars for action sequences, as usual. 5 stars for character portrayals also. Just like in Rogue Nation, the chemistry between Ethan and Ilsa is just palpable. I loved that something was made out of it in this movie, and in such a way that not a word had to be said about it. Now *I'm* interested in knowing where those two go from here. And Henry Cavill's Walker was such a great contrast to Tom Cruise's Hunt! Nice casting.

Finally, the tensions in the movie! From the beginning, the viewer is kept on the edge of his seat. I positively screamed when the movie destroyed the Vatican, Jerusalem and Mecca in nuclear attacks, and felt throughout that something drastic was going to happen, even up to the end when the team cut the wires on the nukes. I was 60% sure the franchise would pull a Thanos Snap on us, and breathed heavily when it didn't.

What more could a person ask for in a movie?
