60 fresh reviews, 6 rotten. Can't wait!

A sequel that is slick with silliness, but peppered with enough wit and peril to sustain the franchise's momentum.- Henry Barnes (Guardian)

Feels dated and redundant due to the lack of originality and innovation that's defined the franchise.-Edward Douglas (ComingSoon.net)

Looks like an old school action film. I'm game no matter the reviews.

But this is good news.

All of the Mission Impossible films have been fantastic popcorn flicks. I'll pay money to watch this one too.

I thought the second one sucked. It was just so generic.

Agreed. It was the only one I didn't like.

Mission Impossible is weird. The movies have gotten better as the franchise has progressed.

The same thing happened to The Fast and the Furious.

I watched MI 1 last week and realized that it really isn't that great of a movie compared to third and fourth movies.

The third is my favorite because of Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He made a great villain.

I know that Tom Cruise has brought upon himself some justified criticism due to his beliefs; however, when I see that he does his own stunts in these movies, and he doesn't hide is lack of height (like many in Hollywood do), I can't help but have a lot of respect for him on the professional level.

Unless I see direct evidence that the guy is a rapist or murderer, I try not to think about politics when judging whether or not I like an actor's work. That's just me.

The guy is pretty weird, but I enjoy his work.

2 is terrible. That scene where he flips for no reason to holster his guns was just awful.

I'm a fan on MI3 as well. They made Hoffman seem really violent and scary.

Who are you? What's you're name? Do you have a wife? A girlfriend? Because if you do, I'm gonna find her. I'm gonna hurt her. I'm gonna make her bleed, and cry, and call out your name. And then I'm gonna find you,and kill you right in front of her.

Cruise may be crazy - well maybe not now that he has parted with Scientology - but he is on the Mt Rushmore of GOAT movie stars for the last 50 years.

Eastwood
Cruise
Stallone
Schwarzenegger

Everyone else.

I'd say the worst/best scene in that is when Tom Cruise blows open a door in a subterranean base, and as Tom Cruise steps in front of the blazing door in slow motion, a dove flies through. Laugh my arse off every time I see that scene.
