I tend to give a disclaimer with certain films starring certain actors. In this case I must warn you that I think Jeremy Renner is so fantastic and impressive! I love everything he does because I think he is brilliant. So that said let's jump in.
Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol is the 4th Mission Impossible movie and it actually makes sense in the whole chronology of the films. All the questions we have about the other films are answered and we see past characters. That is a very big deal to me. I hate it when a sequel expects you to forget the other movies. This one includes its past and present, which is fantastic for real fans.
The movie starts a few years after MI:3. Ethan is needed by the government again but this time they are on their own. A mission was compromised and as a result Ethan and his amazing team are left without support.
Speaking of team let's see who they are...shall we?! We have the brilliant, stunning, charming, athletic, beautiful Jeremy Renner as Brandt. Brandt was a computer analyst that got mixed up when all the trouble started. He gets adopted into Ethan's Team and he has certain....hidden talents. He is covered in mystery and the unknown. As the story progresses we learn all about him but part of the fun in the movie is trying to figure out whose side is he really on?
We have Tom Cruise as the charismatic Ethan Hunt. My I just say the Tom Cruise was looking pretty dang good!!! The man is pure beefcake, he is the perfect Ethan. Tom was also amazing because he did all his own stunts on the tallest building in the world. Yeah the guy hanging upside down 138 floors is really Tom Cruise! Now that is a real action hero if you ask me! The best part about his character, Ethan is he is trapped between the old world and the new, past and present. He is trying to survive in this new world all on his own.
Simon Pegg plays Benji the quick witted computer analyst from MI:3. He has so many great one liners but is still perfect for this role. We also have Paula Patton as the lovely Jane. She is a butt kicking member of the group. She is able to beat up anyone that comes at her....plus she is stunning to look at.
Over all I really liked this movie alot. The action was fantastic and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Only a few of the fight scenes were unbelievable that that was because you wonder how Ehtan can still be conscience after that many hits to the head! Other than that it was a great movie that even take the time to make fun of itself!
Action: Yeah
Adventure: You Bet!
Drama: so so
Over all: A-
