8/10.
I didn't much like Mission Impossible 1, and cared even less for Mission Impossible 2, BUT I really liked JJ Abrams Mission Impossible 3 and I also really liked this film.
Brad Bird brings a lighter touch to proceedings and Simon Pegg works in his larger role of 'nerd turned agent'.
There are some nice heart-stopping moments and it features all the usual elements; cars (nice and sporty electric BMW), gadgets, eye candy, nukes, and globe-trotting loccations.
You won't remember it 5 minutes after leaving the cinema but you'd probably watch it again on DVD a week later...
The franchise is truly alive and with Jeremy Renner seemingly onboard as an agent, you can expect another film at some point in the next 2-3 years.
BTW, Tom Cruise looks amazing at 50 years of age. Must be all that moisturiser and scientology.
