Watched MI7 - the storytelling through the action was spot on (and Cruise commits his usual 1,000% but Hayley Atwell matches him step for step - if they are looking for the next big action hero, she's got what it takes) but the storytelling through the storytelling was pretty horrible (so much clunky exposition) and there's some pretty questionable "fridging". Also as it stands, the plot and the McGuffin largely make zero sense but, if they are being clever, it may not be intended to and we'll get some cunning switcheroos in part 2 (and yes for as very, very long as this is, it's only the first part), which now I've thought a bit about them, I'll be disappointed if this doesn't happen. Dammit I've already ruined part 2 for myself.
