Sorry, but this mission isn't impossible, it's a failure.

Rating: 4/10 (4 April 2012)

Lately I've been having a habit of always checking the IMDb scores before watching a movie - not wanting to waste my time. Most of the times my own opinion about a movie corresponds to the actual IMDb score. When it deviates, it's usually only slightly, and I can understand the reasons why (e.g. a good movie, but not in my taste).
However, the score and the reviews of this movie are big mysteries to me. The movie has way too many flaws and after 1 hour or so I had to struggle to retain any interest at all. It's nowhere near the 1 & 2 in the series.
I don't know how IMDb protects itself from people/companies trying to manipulate the scores and reviews, but in this case I have strong feeling the system has failed.
There is no way this movie should be rated anywhere above 6.0. Tom Cruise's objective with this movie was indeed impossible and it's clearly a failure.
