I hate movies.

They really didn't trust that anyone would Dead Reckoning so the first hour of this is bogged down by plot expo reminding everyone what happened.
Then there's the president subplot which just dragged down Ethan doing cool stuff.
This also had no finality to the franchise. The entire marketing was about one last adventure with Cruise but this just ends like any of the other movies. Only one that had some sort of closure was Dunloe. I've always felt bad for what they did to him so I'm glad he lived a good life.
