Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

PWNYCNY The movie presents a story that is absurd. Nevertheless, it is entertaining. The movie takes the players to many different parts of the world. How they get to these places the movie does not explain. At each place people are on the run, traps are being set, communications are tense, as the good guys and bad guys try to outwit the other. The movie is devoid of any overt political content, concentrating its attention on telling the story. Tom Cruise delivers an energetic performance that carries the movie. He is in almost every scene. The movie is never dull. For fans of action movies, this movie will not disappoint.

shakercoola Mission Impossible 4 raised the stakes for assuming blockbuster status again after it had lost ground with a highly stylised last entry. The plot is quite implausible and the tension peters out a little in the third act - at least partly down to its frenetic pacing and bangs for your dollar. It was partially shot with IMAX cameras which helped to capture some death defying and vertigo inducing stunts for audiences. No special equipment was needed, unless you count Simon Pegg, to make this a funny film in parts too. Some of the special effects will be remembered as quite memorable for the series. Some SFX, such as the magnetic belt seem a little far-fetched and desultory. All in all, good adventure, a sense of fun wins the day and this is the signal producers need for them to issue another mission installment for us to choose to accept.

Michael Ledo To me it has always been the theme song. I could watch just about anything to that sound track and think it was great. Fortunately we had a great film that explodes on the big screen. The gadgets were extremely high tech and I seriously doubt many of them really exist. Face scanner in a contact lens?The opening scene of Cruise in a Serbian high security prison being broken out, was superb. It becomes a mystery that plays constantly in the back of your mind during the film. Who was the man he took with him when escaped? Where is he now? It engages you and puts your mind into the proper framework. Tom Cruise is later written off along with the IMF and must operate rouge to save the US from terrorist named Hendricks who has the Russian launch codes and plans to use them against the US. Cruise's team are the guys that just happened to be with him at the moment...with no masks! Great Stuff.This is a good old fashion break out the tub of popcorn and enjoy the feature action-comedy-thriller. I didn't see it in IMAX, but clearly that is the way to go considering how the scenes were shot. After seeing it once, I want to see it again on the really big screen. And of course every "impossible" scene is made more complex, complicated, or twisted. Humorous and heart stopping action all in the same moment.Good Luck.No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Instant_Palmer This MI production is well executed in every regard - A top cast of talented actors, direction and editing that earn a B+, and a plot and list of film locations that are as interesting as the best Bond films.The only thing preventing a 9 rating are a handful of scenes that could have been cut down for the sake of keeping the overall snappy pace intact...10 minutes shorter and this film would rate a 9 (A-).Great fun and edge of seat moments are spread throughout - if in need of a MI, Bond, or Jason Bourne fix, I highly recommend MI Ghost Protocol and a bowl of popcorn.
