Almost as good as the original. A great and fun action movie that is a joy to watch. Pegg is great. I say B+

"Your mission, should you choose to accept it..." After a mission goes south and the Kremlin is attacked and partially destroyed the IMF division is blamed. This event causes the government to cut all ties with the agency. Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his team of now independent agents are in a race to stop a mad man from starting a nuclear war and prove that the IMF is innocent. I have to admit that I have liked all the movies in this franchise (except the 2nd one) and was looking forward to this one. After a long hiatus I have to admit that the series is back with a vengeance. The action and gadgets were great as always and this one seemed more real then the others to me. There were a few call back shots to the other movies which made it more interesting to me. The addition of Simon Pegg really was brilliant and he was my favorite part of this movie. Jeremy Renner is one good character away from being the star of his own franchise and I have a feeling that will happen soon. This is a must see for all action fans, not just fans of the series. Overall, not quite as good as the first one but this has come the closest of all the sequels so far. I give it a B+.
