However, MI4: Ghost Protocol is a total turnaround. Still starring Tom Cruise, but at least this time, he did not hog the scree. It still is mainly him but we do see the development of some other character. The story is simple, Ethan Hunt's team was framed for Kremlin's bomb when a mission failed. The perpetrator is Hendrik, someone who is crazy to want a nuclear war so that human may emerge stronger. The team, now without any government support had to race through time and Dubai, India to stop the bad guy.
The good things: At least this movie, Ethan Hunt's team function as a TEAM, not just individuals supporting Tom Cruise which still end up Tom Cruise alone. The iconic things are there such as the mask IMF team use. The action, is basically good, they really keep you sitting on the edge of the seat. The casting, perfect! Except Jane was average most of time. Simon Pegg was simply awesome in each of his scene. The humour and the chemistry is unbeatable.
What make it so great? The script, non cheesy, the jokes are just classy and on the spot. The whole pace of the movie is simply perfect. You would not feel the 2 hours at all. There is no spot where anyone would look at the watch at all. I would rather keep my urine than to go find toilet.
Downfall? There is none, in fact, except that the bad guys is bit illogical and 2 dimensional. It was explained that he had a IQ of 190, but how he handle himself as an agent is rather mysterious. But it is still pleasant to have a megalomaniac bad guy whom everyone love to hate.
bottom line? just watch it.
ratings: 4 poink!
comments: totally great, worth to be call a Mission Impossible movie.
