butterflyIt kinda baffles me how Tom Cruise can be so... yeah, all the things that he is... and yet still be a compelling actor with so much charisma on-screen. It's a mystery.
Were the other MI movies slashy? I don't remember them all that well - actually, I think I only saw the first two. I don't remember them being that slashy but it's been a while.
The second that Brandt and Hunt met, it was like... woah, hello. And there was actually quite a bit of unnecessary touching between them. And they made Brandt's character all complex and kept upping the tension between the two of them. And "Next time, I get to seduce the rich guy," which actually made me let out a little delighted laugh because of the delivery - he just seemed so... sincere. Then we had the scene at the end, where Hunt basically waves good-bye to his wife because their lives are incompatible and he wants her to be safe and yet doesn't want to leave his job (I don't know if there was a different explanation for that in the third movie, but that's the vibe I got from watching this movie) so he faked her death in order to make it so that she could live as an unknown again. So, there was a sense of closure in that relationship, but the working relationship that he's going to have with Brandt is just beginning.
I also really enjoyed Agent Carter and her character angst. And Simon Pegg was delightful, as always.
