Wow! I Really wasn't expecting this to be this good!

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2012)

Yes you've read correctly. The new "Mission impossible" movie (number four no less) is truly worthy off a five star rating, and no-one is more surprised by this than I am.
What was great about going to see this recent flick, was that we really just went to see it because we were bored and it was raining. I personally didn't think the first two films were up too much but had been impressed by number three, while my colleague hadn't liked that one, so we really entered this thing with the lowest off expectations. But it turned out to be great. Gotta love when that happens. We both thought this was the best out off all off them by far, as well as being a great film in its own right.
"Mission impossible - Ghost protocol" didn't feel as over the top as the previous entries, and was relying on more old fashioned thrills. Featuring fantastic stunts and original action set pieces aplenty. The gadgets featured in the film had me saying "cool!" throughout (Take note 007) and as a whole the film was clever, with things in it your unlikely to see anywhere else. The once great Simon Peggs presence had me thinking he'd be the annoying comedy sidekick who'd ruin the movie. But the films actually very funny too, partly due too him being here.
All in all this movie is thrilling, very funny and is actually so entertaining it hurts. There was me thinking the fourth film in a series is usually where it dies a death too. Just goes to show that you shouldn't always judge a book by its cover.
