Generally speaking I think some negative reviews are the result of people going with no clue what the movie is going to be about or presented and/or they just like somebody involved in the movie. A couple times a year my parents go to a movie they are highly disappointed in but I could have told them that ahead of time, sometimes even shocked they went to see it.
Saw the new Mission: Impossible in IMAX last night. It was glorious nonsense and the long running time flew by. There’s an amazing train scene at the end; CGI, I’m assuming, but still solid.
I watched it at home last night. Nonsense is a good description, but I didn't think it was as glorious as you did. Maybe it was better in a theater, but I found it boring — it could have been at least 30 minutes shorter. Also, all the publicity about how the motorcycle jump was shot (and, yes, it was an amazing stunt by Cruise) made the scene anticlimactic.
Following the first it's here, now it's there two-part key was annoying, and the fact that it existed at all didn't make sense.
I didn't believe Paris would change her allegiance so easily.
The car chase went on too long, and we've seen almost all of it (cars destroying other vehicles, going down staircases) before. Even allowing for the suspension of disbelief (no real cars can stand that punishment), it was too much.
I wanted to see more of Simon and Benji. MI, including the original TV series, was always about a well-coordinated team. This was lacking here.
It was hard to believe that Benji could run loose in the baggage handling facility without someone seeing him, even if Simon took care of the video surveillance cameras.
I guess The Entity AI was supposed to be the villain along with Gabriel, but neither seemed that threatening.

Maybe so! I've been to several IMAX showings, but only one was a theatrical release that was mostly shown in theaters. I found it a bit disorienting and had to move my head around more than I liked. The other films, which were made only for IMAX, were great, though.
Giant (1956)- Classic greatness. Possibly the best movie about Texas ever made for the following reasons. Texas culture circa early 20th Century, prejudice, social inequality, although brief, realistic historical perspective about the origins of Texas from Bick Benedict’s wife (Liz Taylor), and the transformation of a large ranch owner under the influence of his wife from Maryland who regards these Texans as cave men, their wives treated like glorified children, but she is smart enough to navigate the Texas waters. James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, best performances!
Finally got around to seeing Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)- Streaming on Disney+, the opening sequence makes this movie, best CGI character de-aging I’ve seen. The rest is formulaic, but nostalgic and fun and I was actually pleasantly surprised by the ending. Much better than the Crystal Skull.
