Tom Cruise's wackiness aside, that boy made an unprecedented action movie IMO. Director J.J. Abrams did an outstanding job.
I guess the plan now is to let a different director tackle each Mission Impossible movie to keep the series fresh. First was Brian De Palma, then John
Woo, and now Abrams. Although the first one was a classic, the third one ruled. The second installment was riduculous.
