What?

This is the 4 movie of Mission impossible, and of course Ethan Hunt job is to save the world. From what else than a terrorist who has the nuclear codes for what else than a couple of Russian Nuclear weapons. Sounds simple enough, but things go wrong and instead of getting the terrorist, the codes and the glory, hell breaks loose and the Kremlin explodes blaming Ethan Hunt and everybody in his team. So, for them to survive they need to find the terrorist, blame him and of course again save the world from a nuclear holocaust, but this time without backup and help from nobody. Of course we still get all the fancy gadgets, don’t worry!


Yes?
Yeah it’s the fourth installment, and Tom Cruise is old the idea is old and well no new gadgets available, you couldn’t be more wrong! This movie brings everything that a fan would hope for, and even non fans would like this movie.

Tom Cruise proves that he is still worthy of being called superstar. Of course he is a action junkie or even freak, I’m sure that you saw this somewhere, (this isn’t considered a spoiler) he just hangs outside a tower in Dubai like 100 stores above sea level, the problem is this actually happened! SO yes his performance is great and I liked him here.

Jeremy Renner gave a very respectful performance too, as you may know he is going to be the next Jason Bourne, a lot of people are doubting if he can fit in those huge shoes but I think this performance here proved that he is able and he will do Bourne the right Honor!

Then we have the action and the gadgets, they are splendid! The explosions, the effects, the whole package! The difficulty is to make up new gadgets that don’t exist today, and they succeeded here too, I just want them to exist already!

Another great something is the hint of comedy we always get in the MI movies, in this one we had a bit more but they didn’t overdone it, so we are still good.

No?
If there is anything ”bad “ I would say was the lack of the real bad guy. All the time he is in the background and we don’t see him too much. He has a lot of pawns working for him, the cold but beautiful assassin and a lot of Bullies, but where is the Joker that tries to bring down Gotham and Batman. This part was really missing here, but besides that we are good.

Well…
This movie was entertaining as it was beautiful to watch the effects ion screen, it wasn’t 3D so I even liked it better. Tom Cruise still has it and Renner has a bright future and of course Present Career in front of him. If you can catch it at the movies, because of the effects, and you don’t have to watch the other once in the series to watch this one, because of all the above I grade this…

Grade: 8 out of 10
