Been a Tom Cruise fan since I was a kid - he's amazing I don't care if he's a bit of a religious nut.
Saw this film in lieMAX tonight, kinda wish I had seen it in a true IMAX now because some of the sequences were amazing. Despite enjoying the movie overall, I consider it lackluster compared to even Dead Reckoning. The details of MI films aren't very memorable (and there are 2-3 I haven't seen) but I always enjoy them and feel blown away byTom Cruise's running on rooftops and stunts and all that.
The major problem is runtime - it's overstuffed with flashbacks and callbacks. I sorta wish they had kept the name Dead Reckoning Part 2 and made this movie flow directly from the first one. It feels made for people that haven't seen any MI films, but I always considered them pretty self-contained as I could enjoy them without having seen all the rest. This one is a direct sequel on the one hand, but also treats the audience like they haven't seen the previous one. Dead Reckoning Part 1 is the only MI film where I remember the main conflict pretty well (AI vs the world) so all the re-explaining in the film was a bit annoying.
Still a solid movie and great sequences and a few good moments of dialogue, but definitely weaker than Dead Reckoning Part 1.
