You see a good action spy movie needs a good and interesting plot and some fantasizing action scenes in order to be something worthy dealing with. Mission: Impossible almost fails totally in both of them. The plot is boring and predictable and the twist doesn't mean anything to the viewer and the action scenes, well most of them are totally naïve. Maybe the only exception to the movie and the only moment that you feel that there is truly the great master Brian De Palma behind direction, is the most famous scene of the movie with Tom Cruise hanging in this room. Yes that scene really captures the essence of a Mission: Impossible movie. It has suspense, it has cleverness, it is creative and it makes the spectator a real witness to what is happening. But that scene is definitely not enough to hold the interest of a viewer who is yawning after the first half hour in a movie which must have one of the most ridiculous and non believable end battles that we have ever seen in a film. The way that Tom Cruise finally escapes the evil guy, the way that he survives goes down as one of the most bad action scenes ever made. And of course in a movie like this one where the adrenaline must be at high levels to get that straight knock out in the final scene, in the climax, is something truly disappointing. Mission: Impossible is one of those movies that are hardly created thoroughly, you think that the whole screenplay was written in one weekend and the only thing that you get after the ending of the movie is the thought that you 've lost your time watching it. Action movies demand a more complex screenplay, a more clever plot and they demand more than anything action scenes that are truly happening and they are not some unbelievable farces that happen in front of our eyes just to makes us falsely astonished. Mission: Impossible is a movie that started a franchise that is most famous for its excess. These movies seem to have everything in doses that are much more than it is needed and the funny thing is that the first movie of the franchise seems to be the most mature of all, regardless the fact that we are talking about a highly immature movie. Mission: Impossible is a movie that is easily forgotten, it doesn't have the necessary ingredients to make it a film that can endure time and it is definitely a movie that is made for mass consumption, in big multiplexes, with huge popcorns, where armies of fools, are gathered to watch the new crap that is noisy and boring without the slightest substance.
