I saw it
I loved it
It looked fantastic on the BIG SCREEN.
As for all this crap that it would have worked as a TV series - total BS
While it didn’t complete all the stories, the stories that were told reminded me of why I love movies.
Are you joking?
Do you really think a TV service would have paid the supposed 400+ million and made it 'profitable'?
(Pt 1 supposedly cost 100 million total, so 4 parts would be 400 million).
His last Mission Impossible was a gigantic hit - 556 Million Dollars. That is a ton of tickets sold.
Whether it made back some mythical cost (and nowhere are those costs documented - they are buried in some studio accountant's third set of books) is irrelevant to this discussion.
