Mission Impossible is all about the cleverness team work and gadgets together to pull out the trick and retreat without anyone notice. This style of agent movie has been long gone after the first Mission Impossible. These days Mission Impossible movies are just about selling how great Tom Cruise is. One man band, the other team members are just chauffeurs and fill in the dialogues.

Twist on top of twist on top of twist on top o twist. When it comes to agent movies (I watch every single one, I am sucker to agent movie), the number one requirement is to keep it (the story) simple, stupid (KISS rule). That's why (The Bourne Identity) was so good and with great actions.

The uninspired & convoluted story is to give Tom Cruise the chance to full out the stunts. He has the balls of steel to pull the stunts but as far as the movie goes, the whole package is just lacklustre.

Those IMDB 8+ reviews are very suspicious, I noticed a few of them are repeated with the exact words.
