Why are the last two installments called "Dead Reckoning" and "The Final Reckoning"?

That's pretty lame. I haven't seen any since Mission Impossible 2.
 
The movies became to generic. It's the same with FF. If you want to keep doing these movies that's fine but come up with a script\movie worth making or don't do it at all.
 
Yes. People got tired of Tom Cruise designing stunts he does on his own, then making a movie around it. It worked maybe half a dozen times until it lost its luster.
 
They need to reboot the series and get back to the TV show roots where it was more of a team effort instead of Tom Cruise just being invincible.
 
Fatigue can happen to any franchise. What is it? Part 9 or some shit? Apparently, this one was just too damn convoluted and talky for folks. Usually these flicks stay strong for the first few weeks. This one seemed to drop off the radar pretty quickly, which I can only imagine was due to poor word of mouth, combined with people going "There's another one?"
 
Dead Reckoning fell victim to the Barbenheimer phenomenon. With Part 1 having disappointed at the box office, how could anyone have reasonably assumed the sequel was going to be a hit?
 
A lot of the budget came from Cruise spending his own money to help pay staff during covid. The film made over 500 million and will make more when it hits VOD and streaming.

I have Mission Impossible on VHS that I intend on watching for the first time this week. I find Tom Cruise very off putting but I’ll give it a chance I guess.

Doubt I’ll ever get around to seeing this one.
 
Maybe it's just not a great movie this time. I havent see any of them but it is a bit strange why this particular one would flop. They all look the same to me
 
The last two have been the worst since MI:2, which over time has become laughably bad.

Everything between 2 and Reckonings have been quality. The last two arent even bad. Well, this last one is. It took about half the movie for it to remember that its a Mission Impossible movie and the villains are weak as fuck.

Time for Cruise to make a re-emergence in actual, legit acting roles. He's done so much running that people forget the dude can act and has legit range and presence.

I've enjoyed them (except MI 2) but yeah things can go stale. The 'dead reckoning' one had all the right ingredients but I got a bit bored with it. Maybe it's the continual use of the same formula. I dunno. Haven't seen this one yet.

I liken it to Extraction. The first one was good. The second one was loaded with the same kind of action but bored me and was meh.

Maybe that continued high action style, with little else wears thin quick.
 
I dont know what it is with the MI films but I feel a sherdoggers shitty short film would be more interesting to watch.
 
MI was like the Americsn Janes Bond but never really asked good on the whole.... though I think Ethan would beat Bond in a battle
 
After dead reckoning I didn't want to pay to see final reckoning. I have only paid to see one movie this year.
