Obviously, some of the set pieces are pretty spectacular. However, the audience walks in knowing about them (even the insufferable trademark credits show what is to come) and all the stuff we must wade through to get to them is not great. Gone is Abrams bleak portrayal of our hero which seemed to work pretty well. The humor is ok, at times, but it fails on most accords. The villain is terrible, but this movie still is pretty fun in spite of all my complaining.

Equally ludicrous, grating and jawdropping, MI:4 is at it's best, when Cruise is flinging himself through a window on the 130th floor of a skyscraper and at it's worst, when mushy melodrama creeps in from nowhere (fx Renner's confessional during the excruciatingly bad last 10 mins). Still, the amazing stunts, strong editing and over-the-top set pieces just win out over the /facepalm-worthy, derivative plot, weird shifts in tone and cartoonish stereotypes (OH HAI THERE, evil Russians!).

Inventively executed with one sole objective: to dazzle us with everything from crazy set pieces to neat little details (Burj Khalifa/a hallway deception/Cruise's alternative use of a car). And bedazzled I was. Putting any worries about his making the transition from animation to shame, Bird directs what is probably the best action flick since 'M:i:III' and he keeps the pace impossibly high, up until an off-key epilogue. One more small complaint: Paula P is no Maggie Q. But I love Pegg as Benji.

Brad Bird directs a super-slick action scene, and the movie does a good job being, for lack of a better term, cool. But I found it a bit emotionally hollow compared to other blockbusters this year such as X-Men: First Class and Rise of the Planet of the Apes; the characters (both the heroes and the villains) had no arcs and little personality.

Stunt-Hunt is back! A horrible story/script (the worst yet of the four) is luckily overshadowed by the best action scenes since De Palmas' initial film in the franchise. Once again you sit back in awe as I-do-my-own-stunts-Cruise is mission impossible'ing his way through Moscow, Dubai and Mumbai. In contest as one of the worst bad guy reasons to initiate a nuclear war! But it's all worth it, when Cruise aussie-rappels his way down Burj Khalifa!

For the first two acts it features some decent action and plenty of Simon Pegg. The problem that arises is the Burj Khalifa sequence is the best sequence in the entire film, so it has nowhere to go but down from there, to a weak and disbelief-inducing climax. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to put the most stunning part in the middle? Brad Bird's direction is still excellent, yet one hopes he sticks to better material in the future.

How many times can you say a franchise's fourth film was this good? Ghost Protocol improves upon every previous M:I installment, and it's mostly due to its understanding of the team dynamic and Brad Bird's direction. Even though Tom Cruise is the film's star, there's plenty of opportunity for the entire IMF team to shine. Bird's direction is stellar, as he knows how to handle action and create suspense, especially in the Dubai sequence. On the whole, this is a return to glory for the M:I films.

Yeah, the action is dazzling, and Bird's direction kept me entertained throughout, but this has nothing on Abrams' MI3 as far as character arcs or an engaging narrative goes, and all but the most gripping action scenes seem to go on ad nauseam. During the scenes towards the end I felt like it would be more satisfying if the characters finally stopped faffing about and just shot the bad guys in the face and got on with it. The forced elongation of the nonexistant tension got really silly.

Brad Bird is a fan of classics, that is obvious. All his previous works, just like MI4, are homages to what make the masterworks of the genre so memorable. The script does nothing new and is full of spy-movie cliches (right up to the naughty Russian), but it uses them pitch-perfectly. The Dubai scenes are astounding, especially the tower-climb. It's not as smart as Bourne or as sexy as Bond, but packs the explosive action, techno-gadgets, stunts and tense moments needed in an effective thriller.

Not as good as the first, which is still a clever and interesting thrill ride, but this is also the best since the 1st and I can say I actually really like this. Yeah the melodrama was poorly played but the action (like the entire Dubai sequence) was pretty awesome and jaw-dropping. And the more gadget/espionage oriented parts were also entertaining. A nice return to form for the series. Also: I love Tom Cruise the actor.

The best of the series by far with incredible stunts and action, and a stunning scaffolding scene for Tom Cruise that will be talked about for a long time. The underrated and consistent, while unique and diverse, 'Mission Impossible' franchise hasn't been this superb before. In fact, action films rarely attain this kind of greatness. This is Cruise's best action film by far, and that's saying something. If 'Ghost Protocol' doesn't revive his star power, I don't know what will.

what i liked best, is that it does not take itself too serious. it's the kind of whacky over-the-top action blockbuster i would've expected the modern bond movies to be. but where bond's lately taking a painstaking journey towards unwanted realism & character emphasis, this is just plain fun all the way through. like tom cruise or not (i know i don't), but if you're looking to be entertained for a while you can't go wrong here.

I'd imagined Bird's transition to live action would cause little upset, probably approached for his prowess in conducting rhythmic action set pieces; This is where M:I 4 finds its momentum, which is somewhat spoiled by its derivative plot and absence of an intimidating antagonist. Looking back at De Palma's film, I would argue a departure from humor would help in conveying Hunt's up-against-the-wall type desperation. I still had a fun time, and that counts for something.

The stunts and sequences are even better than that of its stellar predecessor (see the hotel con and climb, insane parking garage fight), but the characters are not (Pegg's comic relief aside) and the main plot starts to get a little silly, morphing into a bit of a cliche end-of-the-world deal complete with Euro villains. To its credit, it does embrace some of its ridiculousness (see Hunt's failed "Mission accomplished!"). Not to its credit are the terrible placecards (Verdana of all fonts??).

Excellent movie. A lot of fun throughout. The sequences featuring the Burj Khalifa are not just a highlight of this film, but a highlight of the entire M:I franchise. The villain is a bit of a throwaway character, but that's fine because the movie is about "the team" and this film is definitely a fun adventure for Tom Cruise, Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg.

Kind of a comedy, kind of an action film, kind of uninteresting. If the action scenes weren't engaging and sometimes, in a sort of uninspired way, clever I wouldn't have cared at all, since the characters were rather unexciting and lacked charisma. Perhaps I should have watched the first few movies.

An improvement over the last two entries in the series, but it still doesn't know how to maintain tension. The mid-film climax sabotages interest and momentum for the second half. The use of humor is off the mark and further sabotages the tension. The direction is more interesting than the past two films despite not have a plot to rest on. Also, this whole franchise is just awful in terms of how it characterizes women and ethnicity.

Although I've forgotten the first three films, I feel sure this is the best, with almost a Harold Lloydesque character to it. A fun rather than a sombre aesthetic suits the absurdly unrealistic nature of the action: the previous films were simply bores. Here at least the rollercoaster ride is nothing but a rollercoaster ride. Odd portrayal of marriage: a wife is a possession, but one best kept permanently locked away and out of earshot, for the sake of the husband's job and pursuit of adventure.

I haven't seen the other Mission: Impossible movies in a long time, but my memory recalls them as pretty good. This installation carries no number after the title, and I think that it's for good reason, it was sloppily written and executed, designed for a generation who appreciate no subtlety in their spy movies. I'll admit that it set off to a decent start, but by the end I was not impressed.

I thought for sure that this movie couldn't be better than the last one but just like with the Scream series, a fourth movie in a series can surprise you. I wouldn't say this is the best of the Mission Impossible movies, but it is at least the second best. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was just an awesome bad guy in MI: 3 that it is hard to compare. I did think that Paula Patton did a great job and Simon Pegg is just a wonderful, wonderful man. Very fun movie and the action sequences were top notch.

Possesses an interesting techno-thriller visual style and a self assured sense of what it is (not JAMES BOND with iphones!) it feels more like a live action cartoon most of the time. I guess what makes it slightly better than similar films is that it knows when to insert comedy amidst the usual action. Other than that there's nothing definitive about this film or franchise aside from Tom Cruise alternating his wardrobe from fashionable silk suits to action hero chic bare chest.

I was absolutely blown away by Brad Bird's first live-action feature film. Perhaps the IMAX had something to do with it, but you can really tell this is the same man who directed the great Pixar film The Incredibles. I can't wait to own this on blu-ray and relive that sandstorm scene after being on the side of a 130-story building in Dubai. If only there was a stronger villain to care about, but this did exactly what an action film is supposed to do.

Although Bird proves he can pull off action sequences live as great as he does in animated features, it doesn't save the film from it's far-fetched script which serves only to set-up these sequences, characters be damned! The film squeaks in a line about how America views all potential terrorists as terrorists, but it otherwise doesn't have much to say at all. I appreciated Renner questioning Cruise's seemingly infallible methods, and would have preferred more of this self-aware dialogue.

mi:4 is no slouch in terms of action, but Bird has to admit that he didn't bring anything new to the franchise. in fact, it's more of a throwback to the bond movies of 60s than a modern spy thriller. Nyqvist's "gotta destroy the world" villain is the prime example of that. This movie plays too safe to be something noteworthy.

Ghost Protocol marks Brad Bird's live action debut and the calling card of a man ready to take the film world by storm. Though clearly a Cruise vehicle, Bird's stunning eye and composition of every shot and every action moment transcends the subpar cast and under-realized script. Ghost Protocol has easily the best on-screen action of any film this decade and sets a difficult bar for the next eight years to match.

As Tom Cruise says late in the film, "Everything went wrong, except for the team," and that kinda holds for the film itself. The script is rather hokey and nonsensical, wearing its sources on its sleeve ("May there be PEACE ON EARTH!", Russian General Ripper), but Brad Bird elevates the material with visual whimsy, humor, and panache.

Admittedly exciting action scenes punctuate an overlong, over-convoluted actioner, which ties its story up in far too complicated knots. Pegg has a few funny lines, but the rest of the fine supporting cast is essentially wasted; the effects of ageing are unfortunately starting to catch up with Cruise as well! Unlike other series entries, ends with a whimper not a bang.

The Dubai set piece is part of a classic action film stuck in an otherwise solid but unmemorable one.

Much like "The Expendables", "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" seems to be less a complete film than an excuse for something else. While the cast was the main draw in Stallone's flick, the incredible action sequences are the draw here. The plot seems like an afterthought. They need something from someone or kaboom goes the entire world. Practical effects add a high level of intensity which is needed. Most of the film is spent explaining gadgets and using them in incredibly thrilling scenes.

A film that seems to have been made because it could make an easy buck. Suppose we overlook the absence of a decent story and characters. But the predicaments the characters face and the way they get out of them would hopefully be interesting and fun. Nope. (Paula Patton is not very good; Pegg and Renner are wasted) I had hopes for this because Brad Bird directed. Alas, it's not a good film. (Probable score: 68)

Script-wise, it's standard issue James Bond "Whatever-just-get-2-the-action" plotting. But Cruise & Co. assiduously wring every last drop of intensity & tension out of every cleverly-staged action scene. It's impossible 2 overstate the visceral punch packed by the skyscraper scene. It demonstrates that when it comes 2 action it's far better2 strive 4 verisimilitude& have the characters take high stakes seriously. Except 4 Pegg's tired comic relief, the characters r not quippy, nor stoic bada--es

Not bad - but I prefer MI3. The supporting cast in this one is kind of flat and unconvincing, and I don't like that they've gone back to playing up the goofiness of the TV series (Simon Pegg comic relief is very strained and out of place). Damned if those action scenes aren't fantastic, though. Dubai is such a great place to set an action movie.

It's crazily entertaining, but lacks character development and gets incredibly corny at times. Extra points for the terrific Dubai scenes and visual flair.

Not as good as the third one, but only barely. Excellent thrill ride which is not for people who are not able to suspend disbelief.

Adequate, but too reliant on raising the stakes. I was exhausted by the end of the second act. Overall fun, though

Seen: 2. I completely forgot that I had seen this before, the action scenes brought me back. It is a big, bold spy thriller, that is for sure. There is some welcome playfulness and new supporting characters. It's a top notch addition to the series.

The cast worked amazingly together, and I enjoyed the dynamics they established or built upon between them. The action scenes were a genuine joy to watch and the editing of this film was impeccable.

Slightly weaker than I remembered, especially in comparison to the next two (I have a feeling Rogue Nation will be going up on rewatch), but still super fun, with some great set-pieces. The Kremlin hallway sequence still blows my mind.
