Fun or pain - depending on your perspective

Rating: 5/10 (6 August 2015)

First of all I have to say that I like the Mission Impossible franchise and I was sceptical about this one so my expectations were not that high. I was entertained but it has a lot of, to put it mildly, shortcomings.
The action was decent and fun but I think they gave away too much of it in the trailer(-maybe spoiler- You can see the best of the opening sequence, but its not connected to the plot anyway, which is a shame because I liked it). The plot is not really spectacular and it is predictable to a degree, where its just painful. You always feel like you've seen it before, what you probably have and I always thought: "Hey, this would have been great, if I had never seen a heist/action or spy film before." But this is not the case, and you should be able to expect more from it, than just a new version of stuff you've seen a hundred times. It really adds nothing new to the genre or the franchise or movies in general and the action can't make up for it, so it can be really boring(A friend of mine even fell asleep while watching it). I don't want to talk about acting because I watched the German dub and good voice acting can make up for bad acting sometimes. Plus it's not that important in a film like this.
Some may like it. Some may hate it. It's not a movie you need to see more than once and I kind of regret spending money for it. You can wait till you're able to watch it at home.
