I really enjoyed this movie much more than I thought I would. Even though I don't think it was better than Guardians, I enjoyed watching it more than Age of Ultron. The effects were great and it was laugh out loud funny in places. 4 Stars
Mission Impossible is always...Mission Impossible. Same level of action, humour, chases, explosions and villains. This was pretty good, I wasn't bored at all, but don't think it was quite as good as Ghost Protocol. Stiil enjoyed it though! 3 Stars
