How to start this review? The real reason I paid $16.50 to see this film on the true IMAX screen at the Minnesota Zoo was not to watch Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. No offense Tom Cruise. Even before this film started I was completely satisfied, because The Dark Knight Rises prologue left me in awe — I was literally holding my breath I was so enchanted watching the menacing Bane.
Anyway, Tom Cruise’s latest is an amusing action flick, but considering the brilliance of watching Tom Hardy as Bane for about seven minutes, I was let down by the film after that opening. Don’t get me wrong, the action in M:I – Ghost Protocol on the 70 mm (a normal film reel is 35mm) IMAX reel was captivating and worth the money — but this film is over two hours long, and at that length the marathon of action pieces is exhausting.

Combine Tom Cruise, Brad Bird, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, Josh Holloway, Simon Pegg, and Eminem, and what do you get?

Yes, of course I am referring to Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol being the sum of all those names listed. And honestly, I think the first trailer for this film is pretty sweet. All doubts I had about the movie up until this point have been dashed with this action-packed trailer. But you have to read on to see it.
