In Hollywood today, all we see are sequels, reboots and remakes, most of them being drab, shallow and uninspired. However, Johnny English: Anything But Acting subverts the common beliefs of the dreaded reboot, delivering a tense, action-packed thrill ride movie-goers of all ages can enjoy.

They did the Impossible- MI: Fallout is the best film in the series
11 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is incredible. Mission: Impossible: Fallout is the best movie in the franchise, and one of (if not the) best action movies in recent memory.
In a sea of mediocre and uninspired action movies, Christopher McQuarrie managed to keep the genre tense and exciting.
My main gripe with the previous instalments of the franchise is that Ethan Hunt felt too invincible. Even though he was constantly doing dangerous stunts, I always knew he'd eventually get back up. All the way throughout this movie, I feared for his life.
Throughout the course of the film, Ethan Hunt is constantly misjudging his situation and making mistakes. This not only humanises Ethan, but it also makes us think that he may actually be capable of death. All throughout his climactic battle with Walker, I thought that he would make that fatal mistake that leads to his downfall. Of course, this never takes place, as the franchise is simply too lucrative to axe the main character. That doesn't take away the fact that the movie managed to make me believe that Ethan Hunt may in fact die.
The highlight of this movie is undoubtedly Lane's effect on Ethan due to the effects of Rogue Nation. Because of the events of that film, most notably the threat to kill one of Ethan's best friends, Benji Dunn. This event leads to Ethan to decide to jeopardise his mission in order to save one of his friends, Luther Stickell, early on in the film.This not only proves Ethan's loyalty to his team, but also arises suspicion to his intentions, which allows Walker to propose the theory that Ethan may have turned against IMF to the CIA. All of this makes Lane an excellent villain, showing how he can break down Ethan's psyche while doing very little.
Even though the film contains staples of the franchise, such as the masks, unrealistic technology and crazy stunts, the film feels like a breath of fresh air to the franchise, making me excited for the 7th movie.
