おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
Mission: Impossibleシリーズのランキング。
全部見てないし、カヴィル氏が出てるFOを推したいんだけど、一番面白かったのはごぷろかなぁー。乗り物アクションよりも高い場所で身体一つで無茶してるのが好きなだけw
flair
意味 [U][C][単数形で]（生まれつきの） 才能; 勘; 適性 (talent) .
It seems an accepted truth these days that the only American franchise with consistent flair and lasting power is Tom Cruise’s endless barrage of physics-defining stunt work and intrigue that is the Mission: Impossible series.

clueless
意味 (くだけて· けなして) 無知の; 無力の; ばかな.
The worst of the franchise is still better than most action films of the past thirty years. Director J.J. Abrams decides to try and make Cruise’s Ethan Hunt as relatable as possible by giving him a clueless wife (Michelle Monaghan) who is in danger of death by a bomb inserted in the brain if he can’t beat the clock fast enough.

最下位だからってひどい言葉だw
wooden
意味 〈人· 動作などが〉ぎこちない, 不器用な; 〈表情などが〉無表情な, 生気のない.
Fallout is remarkable for some indelible action sequences, namely the finally fifteen minutes or so in which Cruise wrestles with Henry Cavill in rapidly decaying, broken helicopters in the canyons of Eastern Europe. Fallout takes a hit as a film of unapologetic surveillance apologia, however, asking us to consider that maybe the world just needs more security apparatuses to keep us “safe.” That, and Cavill – for as inhumanly gorgeous as he is – is as wooden as manikin. 3.5/5 Impossibles

そうそう。ヘンリーのキャラの思考回路がよく分からなかったんだよなぁ。
kinetics
意味 [単数扱い][物理] 動力学 （⇔statics） .
To love: a throwback to Cold War-era espionage, smooth kinetics, and a delightful cat and mouse subplot as Cruise chases Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson).

oddly
意味 奇妙に, おかしな風に
In tone, Dead Reckoning is oddly mournful – for a world at the threat of AI, but also for these characters who seem imprisoned by a life always on the run. The doing away of brunette after brunette leaves questions about the franchise’s treatment of its female characters, but Ferguson, Atwell, Vanessa Kirby and Pom Klementieff counter with pristine performances. 4/5 Impossibles.

最新作、どこかのTweetで見かけたんだけど「崖からバイクで落ちる大スタントを宣伝で流しすぎ」に同意。まだ見てないのに「もう見た感」ある。
bewildering
意味 （選択肢が多くて） とまどわせる, うろたえさせる
Newcomer director Brad Bird stitches together every scene in Ghost Protocol with a bewildering seamlessness. Ghost Protocol isn’t the first to see Hunt go rogue from the IMF, but Bird uses it as an excuse to craft the franchise’s most James Bondian entry. The team behind Hunt is at its most fleshed out, and the sequences – from a sandstorm in Dubai to Cruise’s free climb on the face of a 200 story hotel, are incomparable. 4.5/5 Impossibles.

bewildering seamlessnessなので良い意味ですね。
iterate
意味 (かたく)…を反復する, 繰り返す.
Yes, the Brian De Palma original is still the best. De Palma benefits from starting this franchise off before it necessarily became the Cruise Show (not that I mind its current iterations), and the result is this web-like mix of Italian crime Giallo films and From Russia With Love, equal parts spy thriller and existentialist dread.
