A bright spot in a year that sucked for movies

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2011)

Just to give you a baseline I loved the first MI, wasn't crazy about the second and thought the third was above average. So going off that I'm marking MI4 the second best in the series and easily the best action movie of 2011. What I loved about this movie is that it was almost like a James Bond movie as far the 'feel' of it goes. Great action, great spy team chemistry, cool effects and storyline. The bad guy really didn't dominate the movie and that gave us more time to focus on the team and the mission. I have nothing bad to say about this one other than the fact it was somewhat of a BMW commercial at times but whatever, at least it was upfront about selling out. Looks great in IMAX.
