like many others and i be disappoint with the fact that for the big screen and almost all the element which make the tv series mission represent impossible so entertain the team ethos and the complex con trick and etc be jettison in favour of a huge ego boost for the one man show that be mr. tom cruise . it be particularly annoy give that the plot choose to replace it be so bog standard and predictable . an honest hero be frame for something he do not do and spend the rest of the movie try to clear his name and out the real spy . this seem to be the plot of every third blockbuster these day two title release just before m representi use exactly the same storyline spring to mind represent judge dredd and schwarzenegger eraser . it be also totally un necessary to take the hero of the original series and make him the villain of the movie can you imagine a film version of the untouchable with the cop hot on the trail of the evil gang bos eliot ness . there be also the fact that the movie be deeply insecure while one feel that it would like to be a cold war style espionage picture but do not have the courage of it conviction so tack a cheesy and implausible action sequence onto the end . i could go on and but at the end of the day and my list of criticism be all be all pretty subjective and and do not really point to this be a bad film and simply one that i do not like . but then suddenly it strike me . the reason i find this movie so intensely pointless and and the reason i think it no good and be that so many scene be so stupid and or just completely extraneous . take for example the film most memorable moment the break in to the cia building to steal half of the noc list . we be tell that this be the most secure room in the entire world and that it have every security system know to man . except and it seem and a plain and simple good old cctv camera . sure and the scene be well direct and a fair amount of tension be wring from it and but if you take a step back to think and it preposterous . besides and by my reckoning there be no reason for hunt even to have the real noc list if he be plan on double bluff simply to smoke out the spy and so the scene shouldn not even be there . why would he endanger all those agent by hand over the real list . nit picking . certainly and but it sum up for me why the whole thing be a waste of time . there be plenty of movie one can enjoy by check one brain in at the theatre door while but when a movie cloak itself in a supposedly complex plot and encourage the audience member to engage his or her brain and and then doesn not even stand up to scrutiny and i find the whole process deeply depress more so when the film take itself as seriously a this one evidently do . i can not even be entertain anymore and because i be acutely aware of how shallow and empty and and ultimately pretentious it all be . so sorry folk and but if you ask me this be a red herring wrap up in a macguffin and wrap up in a shaggy dog story with flea and all design for the sole purpose of make tommy look good . it a real shame that the support cast and production value and direction etc be all so high and since the film itself be so thoroughly worthless . at my most generous and i would give it . ( 4/10 ) .
