Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Here is my review as well as a rant of the movie going experience:

I enjoyed the movie, fun, cheesy and alot of great action scenes, good action film.

Loved it. Really tight script with great action and good comic timings.

Thought it was awesome the first time I saw it.

Just watched it again for a second time and it's still a lot of fun, but I did have a gripe about it. I kind of became distracted by the dialogue. There were times that I thought it was laughably generic (when the Nuclear Extremist guy tells his people what to do in that big computer room). At other times I felt like they were just feeding me a plot summary of what they are doing at that moment. Lots of stuff was super on the nose.

I get that they're spies and maybe, y'know, they gotta be direct all the time for brevity's sake. Maybe it's because they're always in a hurry. I guess it sounded like, to me, much of it was one meta-character's dialogue spread out amongst four(+) characters.


TLR: Continuously engaging, sometimes silly. A good, maybe not great, action film.

Some serious bribes are being handed out to critics if Rotten Tomatoes has it at 94% or whatever.

6/10 at best.

Eh, it's not horrible. I've seen worse MI films..

Any movie that thinks using Limp Bizkit as their primary theme band is signed up for disaster. I thought GP was a great rounded story, however seeing Tom Cruises name ALL OVER EVERY ASPECT OF THE FILM was a bit obnoxious.

Ashdoc's review---

Tom cruise is on--as usual--on a mission that looks too impossible to accomplish .

A die hard nuclear terrorist has stolen the source codes for Russian nuclear weapons from the Kremlin , and completed a neat job by exploding a part of the Kremlin with bombs . And he intends to send a signal to Russian nuke submarines patrolling the oceans to fire their nukes on to America and start a nuclear war .

Tom Cruise has the task to stop him---at all costs....and against all odds , of course.....

And this leads to a long chase from Moscow to the sands of Dubai to the dusty streets of our very own amchi Mumbai.....

And its all packed with nonstop action---from climbing the world's tallest skyscraper in Dubai using ' sticky ' handgloves to falling down from it using a rope.....and then finding the rope too short to reach the floor Tom wants to reach , making him jump from megaheight to directly inside the building---just accurately enough.....

.......And immediately after the jump , an out of breath chase in a sandstorm , while Tom's partners , including a delectable black woman , indulge in shootings galore......

......And then to Mumbai for the delectable black woman to briefly romance Anil Kapoor , only to almost strangle him in bed---before continuing on the mission of course.....

One word about Mumbai and India---the movie thankfully moves away from stereotyped shots of beggars and children shitting on the streets that have marked Hollywood movies from Indiana Jones onwards , and shows the glamorous part of it .

The special effects are something to watch , and the action is fastpaced . But some of the stunts are frankly unbelievable .

Yeah---unbelievable , mission impossible......you get to see all unbelievable things become believable and impossible missions become possible in this movie......

Verdict---good for a one time watch .
