Looking back at the first Mission Impossible movie, you might have been surprised at the time by the idea that there'd be another five. But, in truth, the movies released under the MI banner now are nothing like that first movie, and nothing like the TV show that inspired it. They're better considered a vehicle for Tom Cruise to show off his commitment to still doing stunts, while covertly taking down enemies intent on bringing down the infrastructure of the world.

That's not a bad thing at all, and even Rogue Nation - which was a step down in quality from its predecessor - was great when it was invested in spectacle.

So it's somewhat inevitable that Mission Impossible 6 is hyped most for whatever mad-cap stunts Cruise has convinced his insurance company won't be deadly. Obviously, as well as the small matter of Henry Cavill's Justice League-ruining moustache, that is.
