MI 8 was indeed a great watch in the theatres. High paced action, great direction and cinematography. As always Tom Cruise delivered.. High octane, adrenaline bursts, but a flawish plot. The movie is far from the best of movies in the series. It was not the worst but not the best either. Lands somewhere in the middle for me.
The following flaws take in all:
1. Tom Cruise felt like a stand-alone
2. Less character interactions and lil edgy at times
3. Forced action (tho great but still)
4. Dual villain concept and the least indulging plot after MI 3
5. MI is known for its twists and not a simple plot. Well if you are looking for that, then forget it from this one.
Overall a 4-4.2/5
