Refreshing screen play but poor script

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2011)

Let me start of with what I liked-
This version of MI does not take itself too seriously. There are many instances of tongue in cheek humor.. for eg:- The one where the public telephone fails to self destruct. The other being Simon Pegg being able to pass the field test (finally) to get recruited in the team (Tom Cruise is not too excited about it), and the incident where everybody shy away from the getting directly involved in scaling Burj Khalifa!
Also, the chase scene in the sandstorm and breaking into Kremlin or the fight sequence in the automated car parking seemed new and nice.
The things that I didn't like-
The script was blotchy at best. Its not clear how, once they get disowned by their group, they had finances to secure such expensive cars and crash an elite Indian party? The plot about the Indian billionaire having access to a satellite that was acquired illegally so that they could have a fake and not so funny(hardly believable) seduction sequence just to get access keys was not well thought out! Also, the line that "Indian men are desired by all women" or something along those lines were over the top and probably patronizing in some way is what I think!
They glossed over many small details and it was evident that the shooting was done in a different place than what was purportedly claimed.
