Pretty thin

Rating: 3/10 (10 May 2006)

This movie had the potential to be good. While I admit the movie didn't bore me, I wasn't exactly entertained, which I should have been considering it was an action movie. The gun fights were high on pyrotechnics, but didn't make me feel like I was there. They didn't engross me the way the battle towards the end of MI2 did. The biggest problem with this movie was the underdeveloped plot. The love story felt underdeveloped and as a result I never felt like Cruise had a real reason to be fighting. This fault is worsened by the fact that the "dooms day weapon" was never really presented as such, this could have added a needed motivation.
