MI4 is NOT the best MI, the best is still the first one. Somehow something important is lacking in the 4th. It's got a lot of good scenes, but nothing too breathtaking, i think the director failed to capture the essence of MI.

there are at least 1 scene in every (previous) MI that makes u hold your breath, e.g. the dangling situation in the server room in the first one where a drop of sweat will make u hold on to your seat.

The second one (John Woo film?), don't mention, it's CRAP, so i'm going to skip it. The third one, a memorable scene is when Cruise wants to copy the bad guy's voice in the toilet. Those are really REALLY SLOW moving sequences / paced but it generates so much sweaty palms and high blood pressure for the audiences.

This MI however, everything moves TOO QUICKLY. The scene on the Dubai tower should be one of those moments but it just isn't. It can be made much much better if the director were to slow things down. I know they are putting some effort in this scene but it just isn't THAT exciting. And about the Kremlin, SPOILER:

And there is just one HUGE difference in this MI that missed the WHOLE POINT of the movie. SPOILER:

I'm sorry to say that this really is the MOST DISAPPOINTING MI EVER FILMED, it's even worst than the 2nd one. although the 2nd one is really crap, but at least it's GOT STYLE, LOL sweat.gif and creativity (kind of), this MI just copied every other action film out there and make them worst.

3/10

hehehehe...
but does anybody notice this guy also "getting" old too???.... tongue.gif
heck this ving guy is even older than mr. tom cruise...
just went marathon from Mi1 untill Mi3..
conclusion...
i do feel that every Mi franchise have similiarity to each other...
first the hero aka mr.tom will involve in some "impossible" mission to begin with....
then in this mission "something" always go wrong....
makes the hero more *desperate aka turn to revenge...
and at last...hero wins and happy ending  laugh.gif
* by the way...i do love mr tom acting when he went depressed... tongue.gif

so will i got the same "similarity" storyline with Mi4????
it's worth my money to see it in cinema???
or should i just wait for dl version???
brows.gif
ohh..just want to add another queston
do Mi4 still will feature the famous "face transplant" scene??? tongue.gif

different ppl have different opinion, some like it some don't. I personally am disappointing in it because i've been looking forward to it. if u go to watch it, just don't have high expectations or else u'll feel the same way as I do. a bit of spoiler again, just a bit, don't see it if u r going to watch it in cinema:

SPOILER WARNING!!!!!!!

Caught this movie out of the high rating it's getting and rave reviews all around. I have to admit I went into the cinema with huge anticipation, maybe that's why I kinda felt awkward upon watching.

The actions were well-executed, I can see that the director or whoever responsible of the action, have some really awesome ideas, however the COMEDY sometimes ruin them. Like, when things are supposed to be dead serious, hello...we're having life-death situation here, and these people are making it into some sort of comedy. I agree that the balance is good, but when it's done too much is a bit distracting.

Sometimes, I'm not sure whether to laugh or feel nervous about certain scenes. If I have to choose which scene I love the most, definitely the Dubai scene. But even then, like someone mentioned, the director should have focused on it bit more for us viewers to really feel on the edge.

Anyways, it's still one of the best movies this year, no doubt. Just felt something missing and not sure whether I was watching an action or comedy movie after coming out of the cinema.  hmm.gif

that's how I felt also, sweaty palm moments are not extreme enough, HATED the comedy.

this is definitely one of the best ACTION movies of the year, if u say one of the BEST MOVIE of the year it's not really there yet, actually it's CRAP if u want to compare to one of the best movies of the year - The King's Speech
