Critics Consensus

Stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with gripping set pieces, the fourth Mission: Impossible is big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works.

Although it lacks some of its original slickness and more surprising twists, Ghost Protocol really breathes new life into the franchise.

Keith & the Movies

The action scenes are huge and sometimes jaw-dropping, and Bird’s visual style makes it easy to overlook the sheer unbelievability of some of the sequences. The Dubai skyscraper scene alone is worth the ticket price.

Rated: 4/5

Filme: Missão Impossível 4: Protocolo Fantasma @missionimpossible #missaoimpossivel Elenco: @tomcruise @vingrhames_fans @simonpegg @jeremyrenner @paulapattonofficial @leaseydouxfr Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, @anilskapoor Modelo: #ação #espionagem #spy #agentesecreto Duração: 2h 13m Ano: 2011 Minha opinião: Com certeza uma das séries de filmes mais antigas e que perpetua até os dias de hoje. E irá fazer com o lançamendo 2025 34 anos com 8 filmes e todos interpretado por Tom Cruise. MI 1 (1996), MI 2 (2000), MI 3 (2006), MI 4 (2011), MI 5 (2015), MI 6 (2018), MI 7 (2023)e MI 8 (2025). Com faturamento de mais de 4 Bilhões de dólares. Para mim este é 2º melhor até hoje. Creio que aqui a franquia se renova um novo estilo que vem até hoje. Aqui é o 4º filme com o 4º diretor Brad Bird o menos conhecido, mas no meio dos desenhos é uma lenda, Ratatouille, Os Incrivéis, Gigante de Ferro,.... Aqui as cenas marcantes temos Cruise escalando o maior edifício do Mundo, Bud Khalifa e no ínicio quando fica pendurado do lado de fora de um avião militar. O filme tem o vilão Cobalt (Nyqvist) que ao estilo de Thanos quer gerar uma guerra nuclear e reiniciar um novo Mundo. E para isso ele tem as senhas para lançar misséis nucleares. Mas na vida de Ethan nada é fácil, depois que Kremilin foi explodido e com isso IMF é fechado e acusado de começar a guerra nuclear. E agora ele e sua equipe tem que salvar o Mundo. Jane, Benji, Thadeu, Brandt. Neste filme os efeitos especiais já são bem atuais e bem feitos. Roteiro e enredo como sempre cheio de ação. Diferente do 3º que veio com romance, drama. Aqui Tom corre muito. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 8,75

Better than the next film and better than the original 2, but not as good as 3, 6 and 7. 8.5/10.

The best installment of the best action franchise in the history of cinema. Whenever I talk to others about action movies, & more specifically Mission Impossible, most people will point to either Fallout or even part 3 as the best of the bunch. While both are excellent, in particular part 3 is the tone shift of the whole franchise imo, & they're both valid choices, I think Ghost Protocol stands out as the beginning of the out of this world commitment & risk Cruise takes to give us beyond amazing cinematic experiences. I know he did his own stunts in all MI movies & well before Ghost Protocol, but it wasn't untill then where it made me literally nauseous & dizzy watching him step outside that window of the Burj Khalifa.
