So overblown. Such silliness. It’s too bad really because there’s some decent action and stunts. The car chase through Rome is fun despite its ridiculousness. It was nearly F&F level car stunts. The big bike parachute stunt actually looks better in the making of short than the movie. The train top right was cliche as was the blowing up of the bridge but the scramble to escape the falling train cars was amusing despite its total preposterousness.
Ving and Simon are on point. Tom just does Tom. I really liked Pom (not a typo) her part was the only character that had any soul and she was the villainess thug. Her story arc was the best part of this.
I did like the premise - an AI entity that’s borderland sentient and taking over every network in the world. That brings some interesting issues, a few were passingly explored, but there’s so much more that might be done with this. Perhaps in part 2.
I disdain the magic masks of MI. I’ve always thought that was weak. If it truly was the actor in makeup (like Mr. Big in Live and Let Die) it would work for me now.
Not D00M recommended -‘nevertheless I’ll watch part 2.
