Mission:
Impossible: Ghost Protocol: Movie Review, by Greg
Tingle
The
ultra popular Mission: Impossible franchise is back...
enter Ghost Protocol.
Tom
Cruise's Ethan Hunt goes on a rampage to clear his
organization's name in Brad Bird's first live-action
film, and Bird does a fine job.
Mission:
Impossible — Ghost Protocol, does the 16 year
old franchise franchise justice and is not a let down.
You've
got the winning formula of American agents trying
to stop a villain who thinks that a nuclear winter
is the way to go.
IMAX
teamed up with Paramount Pictures, Cruise and Bird
really hits the spot.
Bean
counter types - did you know the franchise has netted
in $1.4 billion to date.
Media
and fans in Moscow and Dubai are lapping it up, but
will Cruise take the journey down under to Australia
to promote the flick? Time will tell, but we're hoping
our friends at Paramount Pictures Australia will give
it the nod.
Ethan
could be compared to The Amazing Spider-Man, given
all the stunts and all on buildings, and the secret
is out that Cruise likes to do most of his own stunts.
How much CGI and other visual effects were used, we
may never know, but this flick will sure keep one
guessing.
The
tagline is No Plan. No Backup. No Choice. You have
a choice as to if you will see this film, and we suggest
you do. Most of the Mission: Impossible games of all
variations are worth checking out also, so check Bwin.Party
Digital Entertainment's PartyCasino
and the official
Mission: Impossible website today for more information.
Did we mention Cruise has stopped mentioning Scientology?
4 out of 5 stars taking everything into account.
