Never an 8/10 movie

Rating: 6/10 (17 March 2015)

Sorry but I completely disagree with all of those 10/10 ratings and wish people would review films appropriately. This is my first review and previously I used IMDb's user reviews as my main source of wanting to know whether to go and see a film or not.
Nowadays, I try to ignore the 10/10 and conversely 1/10 reviews and look for the intelligent, thoughtful insights - skipping over the clearly fan/non-fan submissions.
This is getting harder as more keyboard warriors have a written 'voice'.
For what it's worth, this is an average, at best schlock, with Tom Cruise going through the obligatory TC motions. This is not original or thought provoking but it is fun. To give it 10/10 is to say it is better than Interstellar or Star Wars (original, groundbreaking sci- fi) is really to miss the point of our responsibility as general reviewers.
I had fun, I enjoyed it immensely. The special effects we really good, but of course with all sci-fi there will be plot-holes. I like plot-holes as they give you a chance to formulate your own opinions and second guess the writers. Emily Blunt (who was impeccable as always) putting TC out of his misery time and again was a really enjoyable sequence.
But let's get back to being informative, to give others a chance to decide whether we want to see something or not. The IMDb is not a fan-forum, it's for us to give our honest opinions.
Sorry, a little rant but I couldn't hold out any longer.
P.S. is it now a mandatory for TC to have a shot of him riding a motorcycle in every film now? We get it, you like bikes - just stop it now please.
