Its no Ghost protocol but damn, its great. Ethan Hunts latest adventure takes him to a lot of desparate situations, including the side of a plane, but that is by far the most intresting part of the film, and its put at the very beginning. I admit that that was probably the best choise considering the plot of the film, but then why have it? Its obvious that this is just another film made partially to boost Tom Cruise's self-image, but it also has some great action besides that, and while a lot of it is BS, one can enjoy it quite a bit.
The movies best parts are in the interaction of the characters, Benji is once again my favourite bit, relatable and realistic to the situation. Ethan is Ethan, wich he should be, but he at times seems a bit too immortal and you cant really believe that he's actually in danger, unlike other characters. The villain wasnt mentioned in the trailers, so I wont spoil it, but I'll mention that while menacing, he has the appearance and voice of a tortoise grandmother.
The stuntwork isnt as engageing or tense as in M:I 4, and most of the tension comes from the quiet scenes. It is much more heartpounding to watch a beloved character face death than seeing an indestructible action-man dodge CGI-beams that have no reason to be there. But over-all, the movie does its job, even with a little convelution in the plot. Go see it if you liked the previous one or are a fan of good chemistry between characters.
