A Parody of itself

Rating: 3/10 (23 March 2012)

Apparently the previous mission impossible was so ridiculous the new film had to make fun of itself. The impossible missions of perfect timing, incredible feats of bravery and incredibly accurate reflex's have been replaced with a trial of errors, making things up as they go along.
It almost manages to redeem itself with the brilliantly clever gadgets and ocean's 11 style scenarios but is let down again by the massive inconsistencies.
It's a real shame they went the typical Hollywood route of bigger, louder and more explosive, I used to be a fan. I hope the franchise dies with this film and comes back again in a decade with a new spin, reminiscent of the original.
