No nuance and characters are saying the obvious stuff, because viewers are looking at another device while watching. We’re so cooked.

I know it’s not Netflix but the last Mission Impossible movies have made the characters so bewilderingly stupid it actually makes the dumb action set pieces harder to watch.
Like, I get it, it’s mission impossible it’s not the height of cinema but in the past, characters were somewhat intelligent and made rational decisions based on what they knew. Like, not just Ethan and crew but the villains all seemed like they knew what they were doing, what they wanted, and it was clear why things were important.
The latest pair of movies dropped that ball so hard I just can’t fathom how it made it out of the writing room.
The last two movies are pure ass. Who is the bad guy? So AI or something?? I’ve already forgotten it was dumb as hell.
There are dumb fun movies, and then there are just dumb movies.
The “Entity” which is a rogue AI that seemingly knows everything everywhere. And Benji is afraid to answer the most basic fucking personal questions when a nuclear bomb is threatening to detonate. Like, he’s never been good under pressure but Jesus man.
This nuke is also threatening to destroy both halves of the mcguffin that the AI also needs. It just makes no fucking sense.
Actually I wonder if an AI wrote the script. That actually would explain quite a bit.
That movies are just excuses for Tom cruise to try the dangerous stunts
Seems like they should just make a movie that is only him doing dangerous stunts.
“Hi, I’m Tom Cruise, welcome to Jackass”
