Good watch, keeping the expectations low. Doesn't match the standards set by 'Ghost Protocol'.



You may look forward to:

• Tom Cruise undoubtedly. For his age, he is doing an incredible job to maintain the hype of MI series. He gives you some breath taking action scenes, be it the opening scene of the movie, or the high speed motorbiking on the road, and even some on the edge missions that were  accomplished :) We love you Tom Cruise!! :)
• Simon Pegg has always been one of the important agents aiding 'Hunt'. He has some good content in his role, and he gives you some Hi-Tech mind boggling gadgets as usual, teamed with his skills :)
• Rebecca Ferguson is crazy awesome to look at. Every time that she appears, she is a bomb, by the looks or in action. Her role remains dubious for long, that's what makes her interesting. Though one factor which i failed to understand is why both her and 'Hunt' were flirting on and off with one another, they never declared 'Hunt's' wife dead, did they?? :P
• Alec Baldwin and Simon McBurney have apt supporting roles. Only turn around being people in their incumbencies, are much more smarter, than the way depicted otherwise :)

What you can sleep over:

• Very unfortunate, Jeremy Renner doesn't have much meat in this one. He has no tasks to him, unlike Ghost Protocol. He is just there, thats all!
• Ving Rhames again, potential wasted. He had nothing much to perform
• The humor content of the film, mostly of which is credited to Simon Pegg, is much toned down in this one

The dampeners you should be aware of:

• Sean Harris appeared to be a tough nut to crack. Alas! It was pretty easy for Hunt to get a hold of him in the climax. He could have been a lot better than this. Again what I failed to understand is why was Lane after all shooting Hunt in the final scenes, when Hunt was an asset to him, without whom he couldn't access the money!!
• I just couldn't appreciate the end. Unlike MI series, it is quite dull and non happening. The amount of Hi-Tech gadgets were far less, the moments of foot in the mouth action scenes were less again
• This movie fails my expectations. However, with toned down hope, this qualifies for a good weekend watch :)

My Rating: 3/5

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
