One great scene then boring

Rating: 6/10 (19 December 2011)

Okay, the scene of walking on the skyscraper was excellent but that alone is not going to make this movie rise much above mediocrity. It doesn't have the flair of Bond movies nor even the intensity of the Borne films. The script was thin and action scenes ( with exception of the skyscraper scene) were been there, seen that. The first of Mission Impossible movies starring Cruise was excellent, they have been going downhill since then. While some may think this will help rescue Tom's career from the drought it's been in, I just see it as another missed opportunity. Besides for me the mission impossible scenario should be more focused on a group rather than an individual, like the original series. It's not a terrible film, good for a popcorn night, but very forgettable. I guess I just expect more from this series.
