re: sidebar: MI:4 was crazy entertaining and way better than the previous three in the series. JEREMY RENNER is amazing and I adore Simon Pegg.
Good to know! I was talking about it with a friend today and she was unwillingly interested too.
I really wanted more Noomi Rapace.
Gosh, yes. She really didn't get to do much and I was so looking forward to a female character that wasn't a love interest.
Mycroft was almost completely superfluous. =/
And how sad was that? It's Stephen Frickin' Fry! The thing is, they could have posed Mycroft and Moriarty as doubles of Holmes and forced him to confront his similarities with both and that would have been really interesting. But Holmes, as RDJ plays him, isn't really on that knife's edge of sociopathy so he isn't in the position to explore that conflict.
