Too many masks. It killed the mood for me


It's just so lazy writing with those masks, I could even tell when a character gonna pull off this trick and take of the mask and show the real face. So stupid that it angers me, could have been pretty mediocre film, but now I am 1 hour in and I know it's gonna suck till the end.

Worst sequel.

tell me what do you think of the scene where the bad guys shoots Ethan?

Awesome movie with too many masks being the main distraction

"Tell me who you are"
"Frank"

The masks made this ridiculous.
Imagine the abusive potential of such a flawless technology.
The first time, on the plane, I didn't expect it but afterwards it was easy to guess when one would just mask as someone else -.-
So lame.

The funniest however was the simultaneous spontaneous combustion of the two bikes near the end.
I lol'ed so hard on my bed.

Whatever. The movie is worth a five and worth one watch.

What gets me are the frightening and endless possibilities implied by all this. Here's what I mean:

Say you're the Tom Cruise character. You're in bed with ultra-hot naked Thandie. So how do you know she's not gonna just rip-off a full body mask and be naked Dougray Scott. Or even naked Anthony Hopkins for that matter. Too, too scary.

Because she would have a penis?

Hey, if those masks can hide 6-8 inches of height difference, then who knows what else they can hide.

And now we know the REAL reason why Ethan Hunt doesn't sleep around like James Bond does

Ha! That one got a good laugh out of me.

it's hard pretending those masks aren't straight up plot holes.

reply

I absolutely agree. It became a laugh after the third time. So stupid.

Yeah, the part where I was like "they're really abusing this" is when Ambrose grabs the girl as Ethan at his house.

Definitely glad to see others think they abused this, so when it was really needed (the scene where Ambrose realizes he didn't shoot Ethan) it was like "eh knew that was happening!"

Oh, I love a picnic. Acres and acres of sand and all of it in your food.

The fourth one was self-aware of all the F-ing masks.
