Mission:Impossible Ghost Protocol

Just saw the fourth Mission:Impossible movie. It was very good. The action sequences were amazing, especially the ones set in Dubai at the world's tallest building, the Burj. I would love to know how they did some of the shots.

The director is Brad Bird, making his live action debut. He was previously best known for The Incredibles. His style is definitely apparent here. Mr. Y pointed out that the opening sequence is very reminiscent of The Incredibles.

I was a little disappointed that Josh Holloway's role isn't bigger. Would have loved to see more of him. Paula Patton was incredible - totally believable as a sexy, tough agent. Jeremy Renner was also well-cast as an analyst with a secret. Simon Pegg provides the comic relief, although he had his badass moments.

Overall definitely the best movie of the series. I highly recommend it.

  1. oh really?? i've been boycotting this because the previous movies were so bad (i'm a big fan of the original series, both the 60s and the 80s). might have to see this one.
