Alright, armchair screenwriters, your mission, should you choose to accept it: find the flaws in MI: DEAD RECKONING: PART I and fix them before Thursday at precisely 2100 hours.

Don't kill Ilsa!!! And then definitely don't just move Ethan right on to the next lady spy. I couldn't stick with the new spark (Atwell is good, of course), as it felt like it should have just been Ilsa. And it's not like they needed *more* stakes with world-ending AI and the return of Kittridge.
I'm also not sure about the (human) big bad. We'll get more of him in part 2, but he fell flat as a threat here. It might have worked to have Kittridge be the main human adversary only to then tip over to Gabriel as part of the cliffhanger.
And they needed that IMO, this very much felt like the first half of a story. It could have been more fun to let these characters scheme and solve, rather than put them in the usual set pieces and then just leave the resolution to come. But I'm a big M:I fan so I'll definitely be all about M:I-TFR.
