The latest Mission impossible installment was adequate in showing great action scenes, suspense and decent acting. However it is certainly not the best in the franchise. The main reason is the super complicated and quite flawed plot of the film. Just because the writers understand it does not mean the whole audience will. It is thus bizarre that a number have raved about this film when there is a good chance not all of it made sense to you either.

It starts off normally enough with a mission gone wrong when the plutonium is not captured. Then the plot becomes messy. The motive of why the predictable bad guy Henry Cavill is not revealed. We do not know why he one day woke up and decided the 'old order' needs to be replaced by the 'new order'. The lack of motive as well as no valid reason Solomon Lane or Walker kill Ethan Hunt is given besides Solomon wants to take revenge? Even though he likely had many chances before to do take it but doesn't it. For this and other reasons the plot collapses on itself. The plot is complicated, messy and badly written. Inception was a complicated film but it was well written and made sense.

Besides the impressive action scenes, stunts and views this is one of the weakest additions in the franchise. It is not as good as ghost protocol and rogue nation.
