Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

I like the idea of Mission Impossible. I like that it is political thriller, action thriller and solving problems with cool gadgets and technology. James Bond without the cheese. Unfortunately, this iteration leaves me flat. Tom Cruise plays Agent Ethan Hunt and here he gets implicated in blowing up the Kremlin. He and his team are disavowed by the U.S. government and yet still secretly charged with preventing a sociopath from launching nuclear weapons to start the beginning of the end of humanity. Ho hum, let's go to Dubai and then to Mumbai and save the world. Nothing really new or creative here. More of the same action stuff... I am actually sorry I didn't like it more.
