Nothing special at all

Rating: 6/10 (6 April 2012)

I usually rate average movies with a 7, but this one felt under that bar. Of course, it has to do with expectations. People have told me that this fourth part of the Mission Impossible franchise was better than all the others and I expected something nice. But, since I haven't seen any of the others for reasons of suspension of disbelief, or lack there of, for me it was a big step to just watch this one.
Well, fancy action scenes abound, with cool gadgets James Bond would die of envy for, but that defy the laws of physics and common sense. Agents that look beautiful and smart, but they are almost neither. Tom Cruise does a lot to save the film, but the wooden dialogues and silly script overwhelm him.
Bottom line: Like an old hooker with lots of expensive makeup, it is just not worth it.
