The mission was impossible, and they managed to succeed!
The story line in this film was so well done! I loved the darker tone that this film had, compared to the previous films. I was also impressed that for a nearly 3 hour movie, they managed to pace it just right. The script was unpredictable, and you had no idea what was going to happen next! Loved the callbacks they had to the other films as well, especially the first and third films.
The acting was great as usual. Tom Cruise gave one of his best performances as Ethan Hunt, and showed that he has still got it. Simon Pegg was a strong standout as well, loved the more serious tone to his character. Hayley Atwell gave a much better performance in this film, IMO. Esai Morales was a great villain, he wasn't the best, but he was a more memorable one.
The stunts in this film were amazing. I was holding my breath so many times, and my heart actually sank during the plane sequence. Tom Cruise managed to outdo himself, and should be commended for the risks he actually takes! The stunts in this film were probably my favorite stunts of the series.
They could easily end the series here and be justified. But, there is always room for another film IMO. If they do a sequel, I really hope it goes back to a more grounded film, because they can't make the stakes any higher than they were in this film. Plus, it would be more fun to see a grounded film in the series again.
This is probably my favorite film of the series!
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
