As with all the other MI movies this plot also offers a lot of action and very little substance. The whole movie is over two and a half hours and is nothing but action scene followed by action scene.

While I enjoy action as much as the next guy, sometimes it is nice to actually have a worthwhile plot. And by plot I don't mean the usual convoluted MI plot, subplot, sub-subplot that just keeps changing direction. It is the same stuff that MI has been offering since MI 1 - no changes just the characters got older.

Unless you are a die hard MI fan, I would wait and watch it at home, where you don't have to sit for close to three hours waiting in agony for it to stop - at least you can watch it in pieces which would make it a lot more palatable.
