Mission Impossible : Entertains and then, falters !

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2011)

Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol: The movie starts off rather slowly than the other installments of the series. Nevertheless the movie proceeds well and with the attention shifting to Dubai, the movie takes a new high. Brilliantly executed stunts at Al Burj Hotel.
But then soon after the first hour is over, the movie tends to get repetitive with old formula taking hold of the movie, the audience will start getting bored as soon as the movie shifts to Mumbai, India. The action scenes and the climax are the weakest point of the movie. After witnessing the hair raising scenes at Al Burj, the audience will feel let down at the climax which was expected to be more engaging than it is.
Tom Cruise is brilliant at the stunt scenes. Paula Patton acts good but I expected a more gorgeous face ;). Jeremy Renner acts ably while Simon Pegg steals the show with his comic timing. There was a lot of ho-hallo over Anil Kapoor's role which only turns out to be of merely 5 minutes. He is just bout okay, nothing special.
The directions is good while the cinematography work is brilliant. The movie is a visual treat. The action scenes are of top notch.
All in all, a time pass movie which works brilliantly in the first hour and then lets u down in the second. Definitely not better than MI:2 which sailed smoothly till the end. But worth giving it a try. Rating : *** the one extra star is for the Dubai sequence, Man, it was the best thing of the movie :)
