Excellent Action. Made for IMAX

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2011)

Another great action movie...as always the locales, especially the Burj Al-Arab in Dubai scenes, were simply wow.
The action scenes are well done, the action is continuous, no "down time", the acting is decent. I just did not like Paula Patton in her role, I think they were trying to compensate for replacing Ving Rhames with a white guy as the techie, so they brought in a colored girl instead - very pretty and great figure, I just did not think she gelled in the role - her sequence with Anil Kapoor was lacking both the sexual or the comic relief that was being sought. Another reviewer pointed out that there is no personal connection with the villain like in MI:3 - good point, in order to keep the action moving, not enough time was devoted to building that character.
Great franchise and I love the Ethan Hunt character, just like Jason Broune/Bond in their own right.
