Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)' lightens the tone slightly but introduces the biggest stakes of the series, although these do feel slightly 'cartoony' and somewhat intangible while also being perpetrated by a fairly weak and barely present villain. The flick refines the well-established formula pretty much to a tee, becoming a bombastic and action-packed adventure throughout that feels very much akin to a fair-ride, one that knows its audience and gives them as much fun as it can possibly muster. 'Fun' very much feels like the name of the game here, with a throw-back and slightly 'knowing' vibe perpetuating the piece. It almost wants to physically 'wink' at the audience but still plays things pretty much straight, which makes the experience very enjoyable and rewatchable, even with its few problems becoming more evident every time you see it. The most pertinent of these problems seems to be the almost complete lack of personality displayed by the flick's star, which is a strange and slightly disconcerting issue that makes deeper emotional attachment difficult. Still, the 'team' more than makes up for it here. In fact, they outshine our hero, with each cross-cut back to the gang becoming more and more welcome as the run-time goes on. Overall, the movie is always fun and has some fantastic action. 8/10

Anish Misra Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is a film directed by Brad Bird. After the third one, I was eagerly waiting to watch this one. And one again, the M: I series didn't fail to surprise me.Plot: Ethan and his IMF team, now disavowed, must stop a Russian strategist who wants to start a war between the US and Russia.Story and direction: Knowing that Brad Bird (his first live-action film) was going to direct the film, I had huge expectations from it. The story is takes the basic idea of US vs. USSR and spuns it into a complex and diversifying one. The film has so many layers and interesting characters because of which there were no dull moments. The new characters introduced have such interesting back stories that it is interesting to watch them. Each scene is just full of tension and suspense. This film very nicely balances the action and thriller aspect of the film. Full credit goes to Brad Bird on proving that he can give a good film whether animated or live-action. The action scenes and VFX are just spot-on especially the one in Dubai where my heart just skipped a beat several times. The cinematography is just awesome. Since IMAX cameras were used in some scenes, it feels quite good. There are many wide-angle shots that do enhance the beauty of the film. The editing of the film is wonderful. Michael Giacchino has again done wonders with the BGM of the film. My only issue with the film is just the villain. He has no such motivation or arc. He is just a guy who wants to destroy the world. I can very safely say that he is the least impressive villain of the entire series.Performances: Tom Cruise has just synonymised himself with Ethan Hunt. It is juts difficult to imagine this series without him. Jeremy Renner delivers a great performance. So does Paula Patton. Simon Pegg returns in this film with a much meatier role as compared to the previous venture and he just impresses. Michael Nyquist was good on the acting department but nothing the story did to move his character forward. Ving Rhames and Michelle Monaghan do return in smaller roles but it is always good to see them both. Favorite Scene: Apart from the Dubai Sequence (which is almost everyone's favorite scene in this film), I would say the film ending was quite good. Ethan says that however difficult the mission be, it is the team that makes it successful. I liked the fact that the scene stressed on the importance of a team and teamwork.Verdict: This series never fails to impress me. I can't thank the makers enough for raising the stakes of the film in terms of action and storyline in each and every film a notch higher. Can't wait for ROGUE NATION.I am going with a 9/10.

CurrentMood Of the five M:I movies so far, I enjoyed this one the most and have seen it many times. The action is great as usual, but I especially enjoyed the stunts they shot in Dubai. I also love the chemistry with the main cast this time around, and the humour delivered by Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner as well. Overall I find it to be a really entertaining movie.

svr-2200 Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol: Movie Review.Ghost Protocol is an Amazing Action Thriller Film and a very strong addition to Mission Impossible film series. Epic Breathtaking Visuals, Awesome Jaw Dropping Action Sequences, Astonishing Stylish Visual Tone and solid performances by the cast. Tom Cruise is superb along with Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg. Main villain character was little bit undeveloped and feels underwhelming, otherwise a total fun film.I watched Ghost Protocol in Cinemas and had a great time. Definitely one of my most favourite film in Mission Impossible Series.
