Great movie! I don't see what all the fuss is about!

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2013)

Now, let me get one thing straight. This is NOT a smart film. It's not intended to be. It has its moments of comedy, a romance, and a lot of great action scenes. Might I also add that the score is AMAZING? The part where Nyah injects herself and says "You're not going to kill this bitch," to Sean is literally on-the-edge-of-your-seat good. The music during this scene is so beautiful, I literally watched this part over like 25 times! Like I said before, this film is not intended to be a smart, twisty thriller like the first one was. It is simply an action movie that is intended to get your heart pumping, and the twists that the first movie had are replaced with beautiful music and great action. Enjoy it for that.
Cast-wise, I thought Thandie Newton was fantastic. Her face conveys so many emotions and her voice is so addictive. Tom is great as usual and Dougray Scott is a perfect villain. Smart, witty, and dangerous, but not too menacing.
Overall, I think this was the best of the entire series. MI1 was too confusing and not really that exciting, MI3 was kind of random (Phillip Seymour Hoffman is NOT a good villain, I just can't take him seriously!), and MI Ghost Protocol was great too, I just like this one better.
9/10
