The fourth installment in the series of 'impossible missions' which all turn out be possible (big surprise there) has received rave reviews. The reality, however, is that Ghost Protocol simply churns out more of the same. Tom cruise must once again race against time in order to save a damsel in distress, this time the stunts are even bigger, the car chases even longer and the locations more numerous.
Interestingly all the stunts are actually performed by Tom Cruise. So when you see the action hero leaping from the tallest building in the world and running across it.... that's actually Tom Cruise performing those stunts! For me that was the most surprising aspect of the entire movie. Ghost Protocol is a cash churner. The basic plot is exactly the same as all the other mission impossibles. You'll get your fix of Tom Cruise and the added bonus of a few more jokes in this installment, but you won't walk out of the theater feeling as though you've gotten you're money's worth. I like to compare watching Ghost Protocol to a trip to McDonald's. Fun to do, but you feel as though it wasn't really worth it afterwards.
Overrated, but just like McDonald's, definitely worth giving it a try if you're in the mood. 6.5/10
