‘Returning movies’ are very few, but most of them are pretty good movies. They re-bring the feeling and excitement that there older procedures once had and gives people a chance to re-live them. In 2006, the first Superman movie in more than ten years, Superman Returns was out, which was a decent movie, in 2008 the first Indiana Jones movie in almost twenty years came out, which was a great movie, and in 2010, Tron’s sequel, Tron: Legacy came out, which was one decent sequel, and now, six years after the third Mission: Impossible movie came out, a fourth sequel revealed itself. Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol is the fourth Mission: impossible movie, and based on the series’ standards and a few of similar cases, it’s expected to be a good movie, but comparing to its expectations, how did it do?
Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol was a very different sequel, the movie was basically about the IMF shutting down after a bombing in Russia, then in order to save his own life, and millions of other’s lives and the potential risk of getting into an America-Russian nuclear war, the series protagonist Ethan Hunt along with a new group have to find the man who started the bombing, find his plans and get rid of him without any external help.
This Mission impossible movie looked like it had a lot of hype and excitement going on based on what’s planned on its storyline, and as a result, it had a handful of excellent thrills, excellent action scenes and it’s fair share of excitement, however, at the same time the plot did feel dragged on, the movie felt like it had a little more stalling than what it should have had, and because of that the movie didn’t have it’s type of excitement most of the time, which didn’t go up to my expectations, but at the same time, when the movie really kicked into the great action and the important scenes, it really kicked into having some very thrilling and some of the most memorable scenes in a while.
The storyline also lacked depth even though the movie was fun and it had a good story, most of the movie’s stalling pointed one thing out to me, that the story lacked depth, so it was filled with a lot of filler, which is honestly a very rare situation for a good movie, I mean, the movie could have been an hour and a half but I just felt like the movie tried filling up to use up time, which effected on many things from the excitement of the movie to the general mood, making the storyline feel very shallow and in need for some kind of depth.
I think the acting performances in the movie where all fairly decent, Tom Cruise had a very strong role as Ethan Hunt, however, many of the other cast members such as Michael Nequvist and Paula Patton had very one dimensional acting performances, which gave their characters one dimensional interpretations, however, even with the one dimensional performances, they still managed to play their roles in a decent enough level, mainly due to them being backed by the better performances.
Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol was needless to say, a very good movie. It’s storyline stalled a lot, the movie lacked depth, it lacked some excitement, and the acting performances felt a bit one dimensional, but when the movie’s strong sides, such as its strong action and it’s strong story points the movie can be one excellent one, however, due to its errors, Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol didn’t feel like it was supposed to feel and didn’t look like how it was expected to look like, it did have its positives, and it was a great movie, but it didn’t quite live up to my expectations overall.
