4 considerations for those with high expectations and who want to avoid severe disappointment:
1 THE NEW ACTORS LACK CHARISMA
I NEED a vicious bad guy, to really pull me into the thrill of the moviie, but none of that! There isnt even one bad guy in particular, because there are now numerous supposedly "bad" guys / girls and they all FAIL to impress me.
Haley Atwell is not my cup of tea either. She unfortunately does get a lot of screentime.
2 IT LASTS TOO LONG
There is WAY too much superfluous (explanatory) talk that really slows down this movie. It lasts WAY too long because of it ( 2hours and 43 minutes). Half an hour could have been easily cut out of it!
I started looking at my watch, halfway through...and I got BORED. There I said it. I say it again, I got blipping bored. That's the last thing I want to experience during an action movie!
3 THE STUNTS DONT LOOK REAL
There is such a heavy layer of ADDED CGI effects, that the REAL stunts actually stop looking real at all. The real stunts look WAY more impressive in the behind the scenes footage, than they do in the actual movie.
4 THE JOKES FALL FLAT
Simon Pegg looks like a really old man now and he somehow has lost his usual wit and charm, which were a delight in the earlier MI movies. Without a witty Simon Pegg, GONE are the jokes as well. I didnt laugh out loud once. I smirked a few times...
This MI movie is definitely one of the worst editions, if not the very worst, because it BORED the heck out of me. THAT has never happened to me before watching a MI movie!
Despite this disappointing conclusion I still wanna thank you for reading my 2001 th review on Imdb.
