The usual opening of MI films is spectacular before the credits. Not this time, and that should have been my first clue. It was so painfully dull I began wondering if I had been had by made-up studio reviews. The video is so poor in quality you cannot see anyone who is not close-up clearly, and an ugly, bright glare fills every day scene which I despise worse than anything. All the other scenes are dark and blurry. The plot just kept changing and made no sense to me. Dialogue was witless. It was so disengaging I started wondering why I was there. Cruise looks confused in every scene. Wolf Blitzer fills the screen in the opening which made me nauseous and Angela Bassett is Hollywood's new Obama telling everyone what to do. The worst part is I was ready for a really great MI film because of all the reviews. I planned my whole day around it. I just got home and I am still angry I was taken for a ride.
