Boring but so Glossy!

Rating: 8/10 (25 October 2015)

I had seen it before, and in all honesty, I was a bit bored this time. It all revolved around a skinny young woman. Yes, she has pleasing curves on her face, but quit jerking me with that stupid chain on my brain! There were virtually no clever twists, though lots of predictably pulling off fake faces.
In MI1, Tom (Ethan Hunt) had to out-think his IMF boss. Here, he has to out-action his IMF peer, the mean one, whose body so closely matches his own, that their boss chose the villain to pretend to be Ethan.
I try to suspend my disbelief, but how is it that a carrier of a deadly weaponized virus isn't contagious at all, until exactly 20 hours, which is also when the anti-virus won't work any longer. Are those supposed to be causally connected? What do they think viruses are?
This is the John Woo version, and there is a lot of action, very fancy, both martial arts and vehicular, but I know it is only dancing, and ludicrous dancing at that, no relation to actual fight moves that might save my life. I also know that it will go on till they run out of imagination or budget and then resolve whatever way they want. OMG, I think I am bored with action movies.
I have to give it the 8 stars just because they spent so much, I love the franchise, and well, it looked great.
