I'm not as familiar with JJA's style, I've seen Mission Impossible III-V, Armageddon, and Forever Young. The latter two I haven't seen in a long time, and from memory Armageddon was an easily forgettable experience. But that said I really enjoyed MI-GP and MI-RN. But there were still issues with them - I didn't believe for a second that someone can hang onto a passenger-jet by their fingertips while it takes off. That was just as bad as Indy surviving a nuclear explosion in a lead-lined fridge. Yes they might have filmed it eight times with Cruise on the outside of the airplane, but even the world's strongest stunt-double wouldn't be able to do it without a harness - his fingers would be ripped clean off. At least the whole movie wasn't like that though, unlike Man of Steel which was absolutely horrible IMHO.

I hope there's less implausible action sequences in this film.
