This movie fails to build on the scale and scope of the previous one, and tries to shoehorn references to previous MI movies into the story that don’t contribute anything to the plot or character development. I can’t even really tell you what the motives of the AI villain were and as for the villain’s side-kick, where he was the main driving force of the previous movie, his role makes no sense in this follow up. Constant attempts to build emotional drama also miss the mark. And finally, the reason we all go to see these movies - the stunts - none of the action sequences in this movie were particularly memorable and the complete absence of a logical plot made the action seem pointless.
