I liked it.

Good

+ Han. Victoria. Both of them so ubber competent, both good people at their core - I love them.

+ Han and Victoria together are awesome and I want a whole movie just about them. The car scene was the best single scene of the movie. I loved her gently rubbing his back while he was getting mad at Willis at the end. I ship them.

+ Han and Frank’s interactions were pretty great.

+ Marvin was delightful. So much fun.

+ I loved Sarah’s enthusiasm for the spy life and her determination and gung-ho attitude to be a part of it. Her chasing the Frog in the car was great. I also loved the short bit of seriousness during her mission in the Iran Embassy where she kills her first person. There was a little pause of her trying to deal with it and overall she did really well with her part of the mission. And then back to the amusing when upon being taken hostage by Bailey her first thought/words were “my gun!” when she dropped it.

+ I liked Sarah's reunion hug with Victoria and her smiling happiness at Victoria/Ivan’s goodbye. I'm pretty sure that she has Victoria listed under 'life goals'.

+ I loved Marvin enabling and encouraging Sarah’s desire to be a spy/be involved in the action.

+ I enjoyed absolutely everyone giving Frank advice on his relationship with Sarah. My favourite was when Han started to as well.

+ Frank/Sarah were pretty sweet.

Bad

+ I totally don’t buy for a second Bruce Willis beating Lee Byung-Hun in a fight. Nope, sorry.

+ Miranda was entirely pointless to the plot which was kind of frustrating because she didn’t need to be. They could have very easily had her be who got them into the Kremlin, for instance. She didn't really add much character/relationship wise and her death was very unnecessary. I feel like if they'd removed her from the movie it would have made no difference and I would have enjoyed it more.

+ The jealousy between Sarah and Miranda was annoying. Sarah feeling competitive and out-of-place and threatened because Miranda was everything she wanted to be did work but they took it a little too far. I think if the two of them had been forced to work together or made up in some way it would have been better. I did enjoy Sarah’s “Can’t we just kill her?”

+ There were a couple of times that Sarah's hapless enthusiasm hit my embarrassment squick.

+ There is no way the three of them would put in front of a shooting squad in the middle of nowhere the next day.
