What can I say, it's dumb fun! Action is thrilling, fights are energetic, and the race for the Maguffin is entertaining to follow. Top it off with real stunts from Tom Cruise and you got a good movie.
That being said, there is so much to cringe at, plot wise. The biggest of which: I think several years ago the AI angle would have worked but it's just too much of a hot button topic to the point it's just silly. The omniscience makes it a catch-all, taking tension out of the stakes, not to mention it cheapens any victories the heroes gain along the way.
There's a lot of other cringe worthy stuff too, but I think those thoughts are more subjective, and really if You're just here for the action you probably won't even care lol. So there ya have it. A stranger's thoughts on the movie opening weekend.
Small Aside: Can we have more beat downs in clubs with distant booming progressive house music? On a roll this year with this and John Wick 4 and I am loving that. More of those please lol.
