Nothing spectacular but nice enough to watch and be entertained. Leave your brains outside and just enjoy the ride. It's a nice touch that the director introduced imperfection and miscalculation in this one. All 4 of them made mistake, either in their previous mission or the current one. Ethan is old and should retire but looks like he's in for another mission. Carter is convincing as a female agent. Benji, nothing much to say except some of his we're seriously hilarious, if you listen to it & Brandt, rumors has it that he's going to replace Ethan... Oh well...
Yes. Those of us who watched and loved the tv series would know.

Yeah. It's an entertaining movie. And yes, I agree. The imperfections were a good idea as they added to the uncertainty and made the team look more human.

I agree. An enjoyable roller coaster ride if you leave your brain at the door. And I kinda figured that Brandt was being molded to take over as for the first time in MI history, Hunt didn't do the signature elevator shaft suspension trick.
It was really good. A lot of great actions made. I like how Tom Cruise do so many stunts and surprised all of us watchers.
haha then i guess that building stunt alone bring all the old action stars like arnie sly n willis 2 shame eh bcuz their movie only shooting n fighting all the way

Didn't put any expectations on the movie, heck I don't even see the trailers.
The movie was enjoyable at most, especially the Kremlin scene. Lots of seat gripping moments. Simon Pegg's witty statements doesn't seem to blend in with Tom Cruise's dialogues and expressions either.
Quite disappointed with the 1 man super fit and genius villain.
Overall, I like Tom Cruise's sprint, looks fast, tense and logical. His sprint looks the most genuine among all other actor's sprint I must say.

I suppose ethan didnt know about brandt's involvement in his wife's staged killing. what i would like to ask, is it a sheer coincident that brandt was made the chief strategist and followed the secretary to moscow, or it was planned all along too? did ethan handpicked brandt?
brandt would make a nice replacement, but he need to shed some pounds
seriously we need new ethan hunt for next MI movie,seen tom cruise running in the rusian hq really made me laugh hard mang,an old fag running for his life..lololol
“We’ve just started talking about it. He [Tom Cruise] is very busy with All You Need is Kill, JJ [Abrams] is very busy with the latest Star Trek movie, I’m promoting this movie [Jack Reacher]. Obviously I love working with him and would love to do it, it’s daunting in that I would have to follow Brad Bird. The biggest movie in the GENRE! But at the same time that’s kinda what I like about it, I like to come from a place of lowered expectation and I have to imagine that as someone put it earlier today “Street Level” – between Way of the Gun and Reacher, people’s expectations could not be any lower.
