Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011)

Still on a high after watching MI3, I went to the cinema to watch the latest MI film. This is the best of the MI films. The story is about trying to effectively stop a war between America and Russia (ah that old chestnut). In between all that were some impressive action scenes which do make Bond look a little silly.

Simon Pegg was really funny in this film and actually Tom Cruise wasn’t to bad either. His career seemed to be a bit unstable with such films as Knight and Day and that Valyrike film. However with MI3 and MI4 it seems he is back on familiar and more stable ground. The film benefits from some great locations filming especially in Dubai and the sand storm part was my favourite bit. Tad convenient that the storm ended when the bad guy got away.

The final scene where they we see the wife from the third film seemed to be the only bad thing in the film. Ok it was probably needed to include the fact that the wife wasn’t dead as we had been told but to be honest the film should have ended with Cruise walking into the mist like he did.

A fifth film is in the works which is no surprise.
