A good movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I have it on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, after 3 entertaining but still rather disappointing installments, they eventually got it right. Don’t get me wrong, I thought that those movies were not bad but there was always something missing. The first one was just way too convoluted story wise with too many twists, the second one was this time way too simple with a terribly dumbed down and generic plot and the third one focused too much on Ethan Hunt’s private life. However, with this last installment, they finally managed to find the right tone. Indeed, once again, the action scenes were quite breathtaking but there were also plenty of humor in between so there was this time a great balance. Of course, the plot was once again really convoluted but there was so many fun stuff happening every 5 minutes, you just forgot about it and enjoyed the show. It was also a masterstroke to give Simon Pegg some more screen time as he was quite hilarious. Still, I have to say I was a little bit disappointed by Jeremy Renner’s character. Right now, Renners seems to get involved in as many franchises as possible (‘MI’, ‘The Avengers’, ‘The Bourne Legacy’,…) and he should watch out that we don’t get tired to see his face but he is a pretty good actor so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Eventually, I thought his character’s background was pretty lame after all. I mean, in the trailer, you felt that there was something mysterious about this guy but, eventually, it was rather poorly developed. Still, it was a very fun flick which was really entertaining from the beginning until the end. Anyway, to conclude, it is definitely the best movie coming from this franchise, it is a very solid action flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
