When this came out, it seemed like it got a lot of positive reviews. Tom Cruise looks the same as he did in 1996, the stunts are awesome, and so on. But the plot is predictable and, at times, overly complicated. I mean, there's so much double crossing and so many twists and turns that it's not hard to see where things are going or who the bad guy or guys will be. If one hasn't seen the most recent M:I movie (Rogue Nation), then this movie will be very difficult to follow. Anyway, if I had to name one overarching problem with this entry, it would be the obviousness; at this point in the series, if Ethan and pals are up against a wall, chances are good that the wall will lead to a hidden cache of weapons. Metaphorically speaking, anyway. Great stunts include a high-altitude, low opening jump; Cruise piloting a disabled helicopter over mountainous terrain; and a race through the streets of Paris on motorbikes. And yes, it's nice to see someone who doesn't have super powers save the day, but one gets the impression that Ethan Hunt can do things simply because he thinks he can. Don't try this at home.
