Worst Entry in Series

Rating: 2/10 (3 June 2016)

The biggest problem here is believable. Instead of having the brains that usually get the IMF Mission done, this one has dumb and impossible stunts. The closing sequences are so terribly done that the movie is laughable. Ethan Hunt becomes a James Bond in this one using luck to get the job done.
The masks used in this are clever but often stupid. Why would anyone believe that someone who is the wrong body size in a mask would be another person? The mask does not change the size of the body the face is one.
The acting in this one of so cliché that it becomes annoying. The plot is predictable, and the stunts are so unlikely, that I am reminded of Los Costello riding roller coaster wheels in front of screens in the later part of Abbott & Costello go to Hollywood, also an MGM film.
The only reason I give this anything at all is that I hate to think I wasted 2 hours on pay cable watching a zero film. It is lucky the later films have gotten better, as this one is the bottom of the barrel literally. They should burn the script on this but keep the film for schools as an example of how not to make a Mission Impossible. There are some nice locations, but they do not make up for a script who IQ is way below other IMF films.
