 MI6


Skydive scene: check.

Obligatory men's room fight: check.

Disco fight: check.

Motorcycle chase through Paris: basically, the whole movie is a chase scene.

Then some plot devices: check.

Then some more Alec Baldwin: check.

Then some parkour around London: check.

Then a helicopter chase: check.

Ending: literally a cliffhanger.

Some more mushy stuff: check.

Some dreadful acting from Angela Basset and Henry Cavill, but who cares? Maybe the best MI since 2. Maybe the best ever. Check it out.
