Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Although it lacks some of its original slickness and more surprising twists, Ghost Protocol really breathes new life into the franchise. Rated: B- Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out Rated: 2/5 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe Rated: 2/4 Jan 22, 2013 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review One of the most satisfying blockbusters in recent memory Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 6, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington 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.

Affleberry F 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Faiz D This is by far my favorite Mission Impossible movie. Just spectacular. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Nicholas V MISSION IMPOSSIBLE MARATHON: OMG! 😱 Tom kills it again with the greatest stunt ever, on the tallest building in the world! Whoa! Jeremy Renner and the rest of the cast and crew knew exactly what Tom wanted with this one!! Tom is ALWAYS killing it!! Go Team Cruise!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/24 Full Review Justin B Solid MI film. Very enjoyable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Nikhil K Ethan Hunt is super hero!!! I loved the action and dialogues. Jerremy's role was also attention grabbing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review David C Cada vez son mejores las películas M-I Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
