I’m not too invested in the MI franchise, I just like to see it for massive crazy stunts. On that note, at least, it delivered. It was fun enough.
Gabriel just seemed too much like a generic bad guy. Like, he’s evil because he’s just evil!!! Oh also it’s personal. Meh. I think it would have been more interesting if they were chasing a ghost. Like the AI, instead of erasing Gabriel, created a whole fictional character that kept appearing in everyone’s radar. And neither side realizes until the end of the film.
I think that would have been great. Like he shows up in their glasses like he did, except it’s actually him messing with the team.
exactly. He shows up in cameras, satellite, video messaging, email, etc. Traces everywhere, but he doesn’t exist. Sometimes spoofing real people like Luthor did at the beginning of the film.
