This movie successfully concluded this 30-year-old franchise. The action was superb but not over-the-top. There are a lot of characters from the past that being brought back naturally, which I feel is a nice touch. It serves their purpose and doesn't feel out of place or forced. However, not all are to my liking - the twist wasn't as impressive as previous movies and the plot felt a bit linear and thin. It's almost 3 hours so I feels like a road trip rather than a roller coaster. Despite this, I enjoyed the ride and it reminded me of what MI is really about: "We live and die in the shadows, for those we hold close, and those we never meet."

The movie is a visual spectacle, but the storytelling was slow and lacks of good content. You're expecting to be wowed like the first time, but it came out short in many ways. It doesn't feel like a roller coaster ride like the first movie and lacks of emotional depth. There are quite a few new characters in this movie so I feel less attached to any of them. They are fun to watch but failed to connect at an emotional level. I guess it's because the character did not seem to develop much as a people of Pandora. Hopefully the next one could live up to the expectations. Perhaps it is still to early to judge. Let wait until the whole franchise roll down it's curtain.

This is a movie where Batman a.k.a Bruce Wayne is still young and trying to find his place in the Gotham society. The movie is 3 hours long and feels like a crime mystery drama with some action. The action is not as much as I'd like it to be but just the right amount. Like a pinch of salt in your favourite soup. Not too much and not too little. It's a movie where you'll see Batman learns from mistakes, and grows as he unravels Riddler's riddles. It's a fun hunt.

P/s: make sure you empty your bladder before going in. This movie is long and it does feel long.
