With fun action sequences, endlessly witty performances (especially from the talented Tom Cruise) and skillful direction, "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" brings the franchise back to life.

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

WHAT I LIKED: This is the best of the 'Mission: Impossible' bunch; the action franchise has been refreshed, and as a result this film is a much more enjoyable affair. Largely because it takes itself less seriously, it's suddenly less clichedWHAT I LIKED: This is the best of the 'Mission: Impossible' bunch; the action franchise has been refreshed, and as a result this film is a much more enjoyable affair. 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
VERDICT: Finally the serious cheese has been knocked off, in favour of a more stylish Mission: Impossible adventure.

Après deux purges à la suite (MI2 et MI3), on espérait plus grand-chose ou quasiment rien de ce nouveau Mission Impossible... Or contre toute attente, ce quatrième MI (déjà !) n'est pas le désastre attendu. Bonne nouvelle ou plutôt deuxAprès deux purges à la suite (MI2 et MI3), on espérait plus grand-chose ou quasiment rien de ce nouveau Mission Impossible... Or contre toute attente, ce quatrième MI (déjà !) n'est pas le désastre attendu. Bonne nouvelle ou plutôt deux bonnes nouvelles côté distribution avec le gros con de mister gonflette qui a dégagé, remplacé par l'excellent Jeremy Renner, et côté réalisation avec le branque Abrams remplacé par Brad Baird...

Le Brad a l'air gentil et s'il se laisse aller à un montage encore douteux, au moins il ne secoue pas la caméra comme un prunier et on l'en remercie. Du côté du petit Tommy, il a moins l'occasion de poser et de rouler des mécaniques puisqu'il doit encore plus courir, sauter, gesticuler sur les gratte-ciel qu'auparavant, car il doit sauver le monde d'un odieux terroriste nucléaire, campé par l'acteur suédois de Millénium !

Notre Léa Seydoux nationale fait quelques apparitions remarquées en vilaine tueuse à gages pour ensuite s'éclipser par la fenêtre ; bref le minimum syndical en somme. Mais je l'aime bien. J'aime moins la chica de l'équipe un brin puta sur les bords par contre.

Mais de toute façon, on a pas trop le temps de s'appesantir sur les comédiens et comédiennes, car ici il faut sauver le monde et poursuivre les méchants sur toute la planète : le scénario trépidant aligne les évènements les plus aberrants les uns à côté des autres, histoire de battre en brèche les James Bond les plus improbablement débiles. Qu'est-ce qu'ils ne vont pas nous inventer ces scénaristes imbibés ! mais je crois que c'est pire que l'alcool à ce niveau-là : ça doit être de l'herbe martienne.

Enfin, la fin arrive, soit, puis l'épilogue avec encore la bonne femme de Tom dont on a toujours rien à branler. En fait, il est dit qu'ils doivent nous soûler avec sa morue à chaque Mission Impossible désormais... c'est pour la séquence "émossion" tu vois.

Voilà donc le Triple A typiquement grotesque emballé dans des montagnes de cascades et d'effets spéciaux : regardable et spectaculaire mais vite oublié.

I hated the first three, and loved this. The characters were awesome, and have improved a lot. Also, the story was great. This one also had great action moments, which was nice.

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.

"The third time lucky" does not apply in the Mission Impossible saga. In this case it would be "The fourth time lucky".

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is the unexpected resurgence of a saga that was practically in the morgue, and that achieves it with an eplicle quite well achieved, with special effects very achieved in its launch.

As it hits, the plot and the villain.
The argument sins of typical and implausible, and the villain does not have an apparism of charisma (despite being played by an actor like Mikael Nyqvist).

The movie is good! Compared to the previous part is a big step forward. The plot is clear, the main character and the sub-character have been meticulously invested. Tom Cruise's action scenes are still very OK

Apesar de não se levar tão a serio quanto o terceiro filme, Missão Impossível - Protocolo fantasma ainda sim traz um clímax agradável, cenas de ação bem feitas, um cast satisfatório e uma OST presente e marcante costumeira da franquia.
