With any action movie, but ESPECIALLY the Mission Impossible movies they do a million crazy nutbars out-of-this-world things and as the viewer you accept them as part of this movie&#8217;s reality. Fine. BUT if I am going to accept all their crazy masks and daring feats and car acrobatics and such, I insist that this type of movie must do everything else ACCURATELY.  <\/p>\n<p>And let me tell you, if you remove the floor to ceiling window from a 100th-floor hotel room? THERE&#8217;S GONNA BE A CRAPTON OF WIND BLOWING THROUGH. But no, they stand calmly in front of it, clothes barely aruffle.  Sorry, can&#8217;t buy into that one. When they replaced the windows in my 4th floor apartment in NYC, things magentized to the refrigerator were blowin&#8217; around the house. <\/p>\n<p>GIVE ME MY REALITY and I&#8217;LL GIVE YOU YOUR FANTASY. That is the deal this type of movie is supposed to make with us.<\/p>\n<p>So other than that, it was great. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loved it.
