a fantastic film that really did surprise me

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2014)

I really did like mi 3 and thought it was the best of the franchise, however, I was worried that any future films wouldn't be as good but boy was I surprised as this is even better and easily the best of the franchise. The film sees the IMF blamed for the bombing of the Kremlin which sees agent Ethan hunt and the rest of his team trying to stop a nuclear war. Now tom cruise is back as Ethan hunt and I think he does a fantastic job in the role with this performance being a bit more funny then the others but also keeping up with the action he is so good at. The rest of the team are also really good, jeremy Renner is in the film as an analyst and he us fantastic with some really good humour but also his character had more layers to him then what I expected. The female member of the team Jane was really good too and probably the best woman in the franchise. Simon pegg returns to his role and he is really good, his comedic timing is really good and helps give a slightly lighter tone, I really liked all these characters because they were all important unlike some previous team members. The only character that was a bit of a throwaway was that of the villain I mean he is okay but his performance is nowhere near as good as Philip Seymour Hoffman in the previous film. The story has never been the strongest point of these films and that theme continues here with the overall plot not being very strong at all. But as I said I really liked the story of the team and how each of them had a special plot piece. This is probably the best mi script with the dialogue being fresh and funny, also the chemistry between the characters is really good. The style is fantastic especially the Dubai tower as the effects wow and help sell the epicness of the film. Overall this is a fantastic action film that should be seen.
