Anthony Hopkins must be in financial trouble to have taken on this major disappointment and waste of time. Even the free version of Copilot in Bing could've come up with a better plot and far better dialog.

The characters were so under developed they'd be blank if they had been traditional camera film in a photo lab. The dialog was so undercooked it should've come with a salmonella risk warning.

The movie attempted to be twisted but was annoying. It tried to be twisty but was predictable. It wanted to be suspenseful but was boring.

The audience is the victim locked in the theater suffering through a script that should've been locked away in the depths of a paper shredder.

I went in to see this film with low expectations ... and it still managed to disappoint. The movie was far more yawn-inducing and boring than I could have imagined.

Joaquin Phoenix turns in an Oscar-worthy performance but still made me think of Heath Ledger's version. Sadly this whole movie was a massive folly. Single worst waste of my time in months. There is some good cinematography and lighting but there truly is nothing compelling in this to get more than 2/10 rating from me. The movie seemed to drag on and on in so many places I lost count. Even worse than dragging on this review to meet IMDB's contrived required minimum length for a review.

Not only does this absolutely awesome continuation of the fabulous Mission Impossible franchise prove to be more awesome beyond expectations, it has enough spark, energy, class, tension, humor, sights and sounds, and script that it could have spared & donated some of those attributes to make the last absolutely weak Indiana Jones movie and the yawn-inducing latest Fast & Furious be less disappointing disasters. With Maverick, and now this Mission Impossible, Tom Cruise proves he's not just a Hollywood Megastar, Cruise Is Hollywood. Plus, as someone the same age as him (that's where all resemblances end!) his physical fitness, his doing his own stunts, and above all his sheer determination & focus to learn new skills of all kinds, from dancing to helicopter stunt flying to motorcycle riding, I have to salute him as a man even more than as a fan. I saw the premiere of this in IMAX and loved it. Loved it. And loved it. You get the idea.
