When I say tired, I mean physically tired. Tom Cruise may not be over the hill, but in several of his action sequences his reaction time appeared noticeably slow. Ving Rhames looked geriatric, especially in the quick cuts of him getting in and out of vehicles. Simon Pegg seems like a much older man as well. Henry Cavills first speech when he meets Tom Cruise was delivered like a practice run with a new script. I can usually suspend disbelief and get into the World of Mission Impossible, but this time watching these aging, cigar store indian actors phoning in their performances were SO BAD it was hard to watch.

JJ Abrams has produced so much great entertainment, it's hard to imagine the fault is all his. The only acting standout was Vanessa Kirby, who lights things up as The White Widow.

I have learned that a high, early score on IMDB is often misleading. Do studio hack writers get paid to write glowing reviews with 10/10 ratings? It's hard to believe good ratings for Hollywood blockbuster movies any longer. When you've spent $178,000,000 making a film, what's $1,000,000 more to influence critics on metacritic and get a couple hundred glowing reviews for IMDB? As someone who has enjoyed the other movies in the series, I was disappointed.
