Unfortunately Brad Bird can't adapt his genius vision into M:I world

Rating: 2/10 (7 June 2015)

I saw the movie at IMAX theater. The technical aspect of the film was jaw dropping at times, but the movie was lack heart and soul in the delivery which was surprising, because the director Brad Bird is a genius director, he brings color to the movies. "Mathematics" of his movies is a perfect example of film making, so I had expected something like The Incredibles meets M:I movies, but actually it was not. It was another next generation cliché formula movie which was also soulless. The only remarkable action sequence in the film was the famous Burj Khalifa part and yes it was amazing, jaw dropping, I have seen the scene numerous times and showed it to my friends with enthusiasm, but I didn't enjoy the rest of it. The climax of the film was also very formulaic and cliché. Paula Patton was extremely hot in that green dress, Simon Pegg was a joy himself, despite I am not a fan of him, Jeremy Renner was also good, Cruise was the star of the movie as usual and I just love him as an actor, but unfortunately the movie lacks any spark. As for other M:I movies, the first movie was a stylish, first class spy thriller, but I didn't adore that one either, because it was lack of real action and the plot was a little bit dull. Most people didn't like the second movie, but I loved it. Maybe, they didn't get the point. The second movie was a dream of action movie fans and it came true. It was an awesome action film in John Woo style and highly amusing, but never ridiculous! The third movie had a different style. It was fast paced, dynamic, an action and excitement packed. In spite of its little flaws, I seriously liked the third movie, too, especially because of the director's vision. A breath in fresh air... However, as the new generation superficial action movie, Ghost Protocol is my least favorite in the series. Maybe, it is a solid entertainment movie for general audience and yes most people enjoyed the film, but I just found it insipid and technique over substance. I hope Rogue Nation will be much better.
