Film: Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1

A thing the studios ought to consider is not making the same creative choices across similar films. From an audience perspective, it's pretty boring to watch a big train action sequence from Indiana Jones on Monday followed by a big train action sequence in Mission Impossible on Wednesday. Although to be fair, the last sequence in MI7 is the best part of the movie. The other best part are the random faces cast (particularly the femmes). But pairing old action star with young femme (both Indy and MI7), ending on a part 1 (Spiderverse and MI7), and having a bad guy that is basically a picture of a moving circle with spooky music (Spiderverse and MI7) feel awfully similar.

And did "The Entity" do a script pass? Because man those information dump dialog scenes...
