iariaI enjoyed it.
+ Some great actions scenes as always. I loved the plane jump over Paris. And Ethan's fight with Walker after the helicopter crash.
+ I was happy to see Ilsa back.
+ I loved the Isla/Lane(/Benji) fight. I thought she got taken out too easily when she first found him but the fight the followed made up for it and I like that Benji helped but didn't win the day for her and she got to take out Lane herself (and save Benji while doing it.)
+ I appreciate that they've wrapped up the Julia storyline in a way that allows Ethan to move on and how they did it was great. I'm glad that Julia has a new life and husband she loves and is fulfilled. Her stopping Ethan's guilty apologising because she doesn't in any way regret meeting him since it led her to this place in her life and the knowledge that she's a survivor was a great moment. I like that Ethan and Julia still love each other but have genuinely moved on from each other.
+ I loved that Julia chose to run towards unknown danger and helped Luther disarm the nuclear bomb. It was a nice scene between them.
+ I do love the friendship between the gang and I loved how much they believed that Ethan would get it done at the end.
+ Luther implying that Ethan loves Ilsa made me go 'but does he?' I mean I really enjoyed their interactions in both movies and there is definitely a connection there and they care about each other but I'm not sure if I see 'in love'. On the other hand, I loved their short scene in the trees after her failed assassination of Lane and the exchange between them after the Luther/Ilsa talk when she told him she was coming with him. I think my issue mainly is Luther's 'Ethan's only cared about two women' speech was a bit too much and felt like the movie pushing them when otherwise I enjoyed everything actually with them.
+ Why did Luther try to urge Ilsa to leave Ethan?
+ I enjoyed Alanna Mitsopolis and her interactions with Ethan, and I'd be down with her showing up again. I loved how their first meeting went and the fight that followed.
+ It's really too bad that Hunley was killed off, and so soon after becoming Team Hunt.
+ I rather loved how the bathroom fight with the decoy Lark went and that he kicked both Ethan and Walker's asses. Even with the later Walker reveal it really didn't seem like either he or his decoy were going easy on each other. Good fight overall.
+ Julia's husband Erik totally knows something is up even if it's just that Ethan is Julia's ex.
+ Luther explaining to Benji what they need to do with the bomb made no sense to me - Benji was the one who came up with the plan! Just have Benji explain it to Ilsa, or have Luther and Benji talking over each other to explain what she needs to do much to Benji's annoyance.
