This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What Could go wrong with Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol with Tom Cruise.
Nothing really it was a good movie. Except for one thing. The action scenes at times were pretty cheesy and a bit inbelieveable. With Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher which is his latest film that to has cheesy scenes.
The cheesiet part in the film is when Tom Cruise is on the building trying to swing over to a window he was trying to reach. Oh my god he falls and he hangs onto a ledge.
Cheesy..............
They could've done that scene totally different😞
Seriously.
Overall besides the bad cheesy scenes I give it
10 full stars😃… Expand

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol shows that the franchise is still going strong. Tom Cruise once again gives a top notch performance and Brad Bird shows a great eye for action scenes.

The action scenes are entertaining but they don't really focus enough on the plot though, That's really the only disappointing aspect. The cast is great and Cruise and Renner do a great job as the leads. Ghost Protocol is a pretty entertaining movie.

Breathtaking visuals, enchanting characters and dialogue, and some truly intelligent storytelling not only make "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" the best of the franchise, but maybe even the best of its kind.

pretty good flick when you watch it whilst eating popcorn cause its definitely one of those films - action-based, cgi, etc. etc....
really entertaining for the average movie-goer i suspect. plus, the gadgets used in the film are pretty dope.

So I was extremely happy to discover that it is by far the best instalment of the series, not only because director Brad Bird is fantastic at ratcheting up tension while making every action and shot seem beautiful. Bird seems to have realised everything that made the first movie great and gone from there. The introduction of new team members instead of returning to the old was a smart one as both Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton are great additions, if only because they are likeable characters (in comparison to MI3's Lawrence Fishburne and Keri Russell).
Ghost Protocol still has the high stakes (its about global nuclear conflict) but Bird's direction never lets it overburden the film so the viewer can't have fun. The main draw is that its just fun, beginning to end. From the opening action in a eastern European jail to the fast paced, final act it delivers a joyride well worth taking. It actually makes me eager to find out where this franchise goes next.… Expand

The plot is the same as any other action film but it is not very good, it is rather paper thin and so are the characters themselves but there is enough dazzling action to make up for that, it is still an awesome movie that you will want to see. Overall, Ghost Protocol is a great action-packed film that will not release you until the credits roll. This is an example of a fast, fun, and entertaining movie that allows it's audiences to simply enjoy the movie as an action movie should be. It is awesome.

For re-watch value, sheer fun, entertainment, awe-inspirng special effects and excellent performances, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is flawless. Not only is it one of the best action films in previous years, but it is hard not to watchFor re-watch value, sheer fun, entertainment, awe-inspirng special effects and excellent performances, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is flawless. Not only is it one of the best action films in previous years, but it is hard not to watch over again after finishing it.
Tom Cruise returns for a fourth time as the adrenaline rushed IMF agent Ethan Hawke, joined again by Simon Pegg(Star Trek) as Benji, and introducing Paula Patton(Precious) as IMF agent Jane Carter and Jeremy Renner(The Hurt Locker) as a Chief analyst within the IMF.
Right from the get-go, director Brad Bird lights the fuse, and it creates an explosive, action packed film which never ceases to amaze and entertain.
What simply works with this movie is its fast-paced action which never gets old, one critic compared it to a "sleight of hand" action film, completely on the mark, it flawlessly incorporates action with humour, and executes visual masterpieces with ease and shoulder-shrugging envy. The scenes involving Cruise scaling the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai, the tallest building to grace our earth, are easily some the greatest visually satisfying scenes of our time, not only was it jaw-dropping, but Cruise was in fact climbing it himself, without a stunt double in sight. These scenes amongst many others in the film are so unique that they are completely absurd to the point that they are too good to be believed.
Patton excels as as the emotionally driven agent Carter, and Brit Simon Pegg is replicating his Scotty character from Star Trek, but thats not a bad thing.
MIGP still manages to maintain its over the top scenes which we seen in previous instalments, but not only is GP better than the others by a long shot, but it tries to set out on its own and does this with ease, much like Fast Five, GP will surpass and amaze the expectations of most, simply because they brought fun and entertainment back to the table, Its a hard thing to do after three previous instalments but Brad Bird, coupled with an excellent cast, have managed to create a story driven sequel that bangs,bops and sleekly edges its way into our heart.
For what it is, and for the amazing set pieces at work, its cunning ability to pull off its magician-like charm, Mission Impossible:Ghost Protocol is a new path in the right direction and will get a perfect 10 for its flawless delivery....Mission Accomplished!… Expand

The film is a good action movie with a few twists and a forgettable plot, if you are thinking about watching it, well just watch it but do not expect it to be fantastic just another average action espionage film. The acting is good but nothing impressive, what I liked was the gadgets that reminded of a James Bond movie.....still at the end of the day Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is a good Saturday afternoon experience, not a great movie but a fine one, in my opinion the best Mission: Impossible is still the original series but maybe I'm one of the few who actually thinks that way.

Ethan Hunt (played by the amazing* Tom Cruise) is sent into a spiral of deception and chaos as he and his team are set up and "Ghost Protocol" is initiated and IMF is shut down. Ethan and his team, with help from a mysterious outsider Brandt (Jeremy Renner) bolt off in a thrill-a-minute ride to clear their names and invoke the IMF trust back into the heart of the government.

M:I-Ghost Protocol delivers in every since of what the franchise is trying to do. Placing a bit more humor into the mix does make for a more "popcorn" feel of a movie, but do not hesitate M:I fans; Ghost Protocol delivers more excitement and punches than previous installments. Tom Cruise, being more of a daredevil in this one, helps to bring the authenticity to the role making everything more believable in the small frame of time they have. The character of William Brandt helps introduce a new kind of operative to the circle, though Renner is great, his portrayal of Brandt came off a tad bland and bit dull. Renner still did a great job and the character of Brandt is something that people could possibly come to like a lot in the series because of his humanity and humbleness he carries.

And who could forget the lovely Paula Patton, though her character did not have much back story going in, her story forward is pretty much solidified as a great addition to the series. Not to mention her smile is as intoxicating as a glass of the finest scotch.

One has to hand it to Mr. Cruise as he has, with help, been able to keep this franchise from dying and drying out and continuously offering a new feeling of enjoyment.

*he totally should have won an award for he portrayal in the Last Samurai.… Expand

With cleverGhost Protocol is probably the strongest entry in the Mission Impossible series so far. It's a fast paced, strong plot loaded with exciting action set pieces, none more so than the Burj Khalifa stunts, which look fantastic. With clever gadgets, missions, disguises and Hunt working as part of a true IMF team, Ghost Protocol stays true to the Mission Impossible mantra. Speaking of the IMF team, Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg add to the film's dynamics as well as most of the film's humourous moments. Make no mistake though, Ghost Protocol is Tom Cruise's film. When Ethan Hunt is on form, and is he in Ghost Protocol, Cruise probably doesn't play a better character these days. He seems to thrive on the stunts he performs himself and the film is better for it. The film isn't without its flaws however, I didn't feel that anywhere near enough emphasis was placed on Michael Nyqvist's villain. In fact, I could barely remember him the following day! Also, for the fact that the film is based on a protocol that supposedly renders the team with no support or back-up, it didn't really seem to have any impact at all on the mission. I can't remember it really being mentioned later on.

All things considered though, Ghost Protocol is a really enjoyable action film with some fantastic action sequences.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie really got me by surprise. After M:I 3 I thought that the franchise will be buried and forgotten, however somehow M:I 4 made me forget everything that was bad. The story is believable (except the Kremlin explosion and Dubai sand storm) and the acting is solid. Jeremy Renner is a refreshment and Simon Pegg (as usually) gives the movie lightness and humor. The jokes have an excellent timing and even the cliches are tolerable. The only thing that made me cringe was the obvious product placement (Dell servers, I mean really!). All in all, 2 hours of action and fun. What more would you need from Tom Cruise?… Expand

The movie was great, and action packed. The Blu Ray special features on the other hand were a little lacking. For a Blu Ray, there were a medium amount of special features. The special features also do not go into great depth other than the Making of featurette. What about the film quality? Well, there are times when the film is a little blurry, but other than that the transfer was superb. The sound quality is also impressive. Overall, if you wanted to buy the blu ray version to add to your collection I would encourage it. On the other hand, if this is a film you don't care to have in high definition, I would recommend that you save a few dollars and just get a normal version sans the special features.… Expand

The plot can be unoriginal, it seems you've seen it lots of times, but it entertains you. It is a good movie because of this: is entertaining. It's intense, a lot of action, and some more action too. But that's what matter. End of story.

Cause of "Knight and Day" It was fun, but not really smart. Okay, i saw the movie and it wasn't just good. it was GREAT and EPIC! This movie had everything a sequel needs. It's got great action, smart suspense, it's well acted, well directed and it goes into directions that you don't even expect. Every time, you're gonna be like "I was totally not expecting that, and that is AWESOME!" There's even a scene where Ethan Hunt's climbing the Dubai tower, which is the tallest tower in the world, and he does that by Spider-Man crawling up the glass. It turned out to be the best and most exciting scene in the entire movie. Also, they made this absurd that doesn't even exist, but it's so damn awesome! I really like that, it was awesome. We got a great and epic summer movie in winter. I'm serious, you should go and check it out, it's totally worth watching… Expand

"M:I-III" was an improvement over the last two films, but "M:I - Ghost Protocol" is so much better. The action scenes are spectacular, the cinematography is fantastic, the dialogue is funny and well-done, and the stunt work by Tom Cruise(that Burj Khalifa climb is conceptualized and executed so expertly, and very nerve-wracking-ly) and everyone else's contribution is great. The plot is intense and actually got me involved with what was going on. "Mission: Impossible III" was exciting, but "Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol" is intriguingly exhilarating.

"M:I Ghost Protocol" help me become a good enough fan of this series and I sooo recommend viewing it at least once, or maybe twice. It's a pure action-packed, summer blockbuster.… Expand

Not only are they creative, but director Brad Bird handles them like an action master. Personally, I haven't seen action this good since "Casino Royale." Unlike a lot of other recent action films, there's no shaky cam, and the action almost always stays focused on one particular element. In other words, it rarely gets out of hand and overwhelming (unlike the last two "Transformers" movies for instance). Take note, this is how action should always be done. It's sad that action this great is now a novelty, but as an action fan, I'll sure as heck take this as a gift. Besides the cinematography, I also thought the makers did a clever job of giving Hunt opportunities to escape his "impossible" situations. It was like the creators adapted Matthew Vaughn's philosophy when he made "Kick-Ass". The philosophy was this: If there's at most a 1 out of 1000 chance that a character can accomplish the stunts given to them, it's included it in the movie. Is it likely Hunt could have done the things he did? No. Is it possible? Maybe. Adapting this philosophy prevents us from laughing at the action, and it allows us, instead, to just go along for the ride. My only quibble with this film is its running time. With its fairly simple storyline and stock characters, 133 minutes is pushing it just a bit. Luckily, the cast keeps things fresh with Simon Pegg giving an incredibly sharp performance as the techie-nerd comic relief. Tom Cruise also shows us that at 49 he can kick some major ass. This is a must-see for just about any action fan, and it has to be seen in theatres. The visuals are too incredible for you to get the same effect on a television.… Expand

Largely because it takes itself less seriously, it's suddenly less cliched and brash, but more subdued and stylish. That also means any character development feels less forced and more engaging.
Sure we get some more awesome action, but it's not too much because it's almost tongue-in-cheek (which this crazy stuff should be.) At the end of the day, it'll make you smile because of it
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The plot is still borderline baffling, and unnecessarily so

When a hihgly important archive was picked up and given for the wrong hands, Ethan Hunt is taken out of the prison to develop a plan and lead a team to make to owner of those archives to fail in whatever he is planning on. Those archives makeWhen a hihgly important archive was picked up and given for the wrong hands, Ethan Hunt is taken out of the prison to develop a plan and lead a team to make to owner of those archives to fail in whatever he is planning on. Those archives make able a nuclear attack in several places, so Ethan and his team will infiltrate and do whatever it takes to got that back. Directed by Brad Bird.
What makes the movie moves is his story, and i gotta say that it is by far the most weak point here, not just in this one, but in the whole franchise until this point, except the first one. Here we have a guy that wants to launch nuclear missiles in the world for make it better, makes even less sense than the bad one in mission impossible-2, this is the one that the villain have less development and have less things to say, so me don't know him, don't care about anything that is around him and he is exactly what makes the plot keep going, this is a bad thing. But in other hand, they gave to the good characters some layers, wich is very good, Ethan and Brandt character have some interesting layers, some secrets that got me interested during the movie. The team isn't anymore that same thing, a driver, a hacker and a striker, now they changed this line up, they got more creative here, wich is great. There are some parts that is confusing, that maybe get you lost, but in general things makes sense, sometimes are a little forced up, somethings maybe get you out of the movie, but it is functional i would say. There is an arc with the police of Russia that i think that it was unnecessary, i didn't take exactly what was going on there, first he killed some people, then he was friendly, i think that arc wasn't well solved.
The job of acting in this movie was on point. We have Tom Cruise one more time killing in the job as Ethan Hunt, this time doing a much more mature Ethan, wich makes totally sense, he doesn't have does little smiles every minute anymore, it is a much serious and also a little dark Ethan this time, and i liked it, also his actions scenes are great, you totally believe in what he is doing and also a big shoutout for his stunts, and for all the crazy things that he do, he is really a different actor from the majority, so respect. Paula Patton interprets an agent, she is very functional, she convinces as an fighter, and also in some angry moments. Jeremy Renner make an analist with a very interesting past that got very intriguing, the actor can make a very good disappointment feeling with himself, he was very good. Simon Pegg with the character of Benji pretty much takes the place of Luther, and i gotta say that he did a very good job, he gives a counterpoint of what the chracter of Luther was, he is very funny and clumsy, and no the most confident person ever, he works very well with a comic relief and the actor convinced perfectly in all of these aspects.
The action sequences are great, and before anything else, it is perfect that there is no cgi, no green screen and also no doubles, in most or maybe all of the scenes, that is fantastic. I'm gonna start talking on the Burj Khalifa building in Dubai sequence, that whole thing was gorgeous. What else was great in that sequence, is that before he started climbing, i knew that he wouldn't die, i was completely sure of that, but the composition of the scene, of the realism and the real dangerous that had there, it really made me scared, in some moments i covered my face with my hands because it was so well done that i forgot everything else, i was really worried and impressed at the same time of how much of a badass Tom Cruise or even Ethan Hunt is, at this point the character and actor are equally badass. The other scenes are all very good as well, the Kremlin sequence was very fun. Just at the very end i wasn't so sure of what was happening anymore, maybe it could have been a little smaller.
The soundtrack keeps killing it, it will never get old. It is very nice when they are planning everything and the theme is behind everything with a low volume, that give the scene such of a nice climate.
The cinematography worked a lot during scenes of building, but during the rest of the movie it is most likely just functional, it is pretty, but doesn't talk much with us.
Turns out that this movie have a bad story without much of surprises in his main one, but it does have a very nice comical time and the actions are insane, a show without cgi and tons of special effects, everything felt real and that is perfect.… Expand
