Mission Focus

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2011)

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol abandons all the mistakes from the first three movie and focuses to the mission. Minimizing all the broodiness and the romance. This is what Mission Impossible suppose to be. Non-stop action and more craziness. Everything is intriguing and somewhat innovating. Director, Brad Bird, shows more of his talent as a director. Tom Cruise is cool again. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol gets it right with its storyline. It's the best part of the movie series and also the best action movie of the year.
The story here moderates all the drama unlike the other Mission Impossible films. The action is the real deal in these films. Throughout the movie is all about the plans, escapes, and thrills. The subplots were little, which is good. The best thing about here is the focus. Keeps things moving. Every sequences are innovating and exciting. Especially the parts in Dubai. The building climbing scene and the running through the sandstorm scene are both ridiculously exciting.
The actors are the gravy to the action.Tom Cruise proves that he is still an awesome actor. He makes all the action compellingly fun. Paula Patton is a good female backup. Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg gives plenty of personality to their roles and makes a good comic relief. The villains are just being villains. The praise goes to the director, Brad Bird. His animated films proves that he can be a great action movie director. Here, he makes all of the action crazy and fun. Puts jokey feeling in some parts. And with Michael Giacchino's music score, it fits perfectly to the absurdity. The thrills are also there and always there. The CGI is good.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is a satisfying experience. They made it all simple, throw a lot of decently made action sequences. Mission Impossible doesn't really need a lot of drama. It's all about being ridiculous and focus to the mission. I don't know what else to say but this is what all action movie fans strive for. Hope we get more of these in the upcoming sequels.
