A nearly perfect action movie...

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2015)

Well, what the hell. I'll give this a 10. Obviously it's not a masterpiece that belongs to the top of Movie classics but as an entertaining action movie is top notch.
M.I. 1 was terrible despite a couple of scenes that became iconic. John Woo failed as the director of M.I.2.
M.I.3 was better mainly because of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman who made a great villain, but still...
This one is by far the best (breaking the curse of sequels) and it's more than obvious that first timer director (with actors at least) Brad Bird had only one purpose in his mind: To please the audience.
Tom Cruise is GREAT. Many of his stunts were performed by him. Most notable the scenes at Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world at Dubai. Simon Pegg seems like a good addition and a comic relief to the action.
I admire the direction, plus its collaboration with the editing and the music. All the ingredients melted together nicely.
Almost every scene is fun. Carefully designed to please and entertain. And there is a "connection" with the previous installment for those who like to think the 4 (soon 5) movies as a series.
Overall: Get your popcorn. The movie is about to begin...
