A franchise that's still going strong.

Rating: 6/10 (2 April 2012)

After a short hiatus, the Mission Impossiblr franchise is back. And yes, it's still a blast.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is the best pure action flick I've seen in quite a while. There were quite a few "wow" moments where all I could do was stare at what was happening on the screen in amazement. It's just a fun movie, through and through.
Any Mission Impossible fan will be pleased, and seeing it on the biggest screen possible is a must. It may not can quite match the brutally personal story and ruthless villainous performance of Philip Seymour Hoffman that propelled the third (and still best) movie (both plot and villain are fairly generic, here), but Ghost Protocol tops it as far as the action is concerned and proves that the franchise (and Cruise himself) has lots of gas still left in the tank. I'd love for this cast to stick around and continue the series.
