    I have to agree with going in with high expectations, I came out a bit let down. It did feel not as tight as the last few films. The bike scene, it seemed like they did not show a lot of footage of it so maybe the best shots were all in the promo/behind the scenes stuff in the end.

    Killing Ilsa was pretty bad, she already had so little dialog in this one and then they just have her die and barely acknowledged. I feel like it has to be a fake out again, or maybe that’s wishful thinking. The rest of the script was poor so why expect something more now. I feel like her fight with Lane in the last film was much better done and Lane seemed like a much more skilled fighter. Overall Lane always seemed like more of a that and a well definite antagonist.

    With Grace she had good moments butt they made her a bit too damsel in distress at times. Occasionally very competent but other times useless. Like when she goes to stop the train then Ethan just finds her sitting there like she has no other ideas of her own, guess I’ll just die here.

    There were great action parts and I enjoyed it overall. The car chase and climbing the train particularly for me. Hopefully they bounce back with a tighter story and dialog for the next part.
