Very enjoyable

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2015)

It's official, Ghost Protocol has rebooted MI into a smashing action/espionage success with this follow up.
RN is everything you need in an action film. Great set pieces, smart plot, clever humor, somewhat relate-able/humane characters, a robust competent cast, good direction...
I almost feel like it's too similar in quality to GP though. The pacing, action, dialogue, even the way each character moves almost seems surgical now. Don't get me wrong it's a great film and like I said, everything you'd ever NEED but I think we've hit a level of stagnation here.
There's no more wow factor, there's nothing iconic that you would recall for years on down the road. Rogue Nation will be remembered by most as a blur of exceptional action film making...
I believe the next MI film will need more personal, resonating character moments from the IMF crew if it's going to succeed.
