Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Ratings & Reviews
- TanalienJanuary 9, 2025Looking back on the fourth iteration of Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible series, it features the bones of many big-budget, modern action films: a fast-paced, twisting-and-turning plot, a steady dose of humor, and multiple leading stars. This formula is so replicable that many other films copy and paste it to varying degrees of success. What is the difference between Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and the rest? I would argue it is a solid script, the concise vision of director Brad Bird, and, of course, Tom Cruise.
- Andy LeeMay 24, 2025Thanks for saving SF, Ethan 🙏
- James SaenzMay 9, 2025“mission accomplished!” tom cruise is finally letting loose with the physical comedy and simon pegg’s role becoming more prominent is only a benefit to this series. the burj khalifa set piece and espionage hijinks are genuinely exhilarating and the best parts of this film; plus the supporting cast is solid all around (god bless the casting directors for getting léa seydoux in this film she’s luminous). there are things to critique about it, like how the cg compositing has not aged well over time and how somewhat reserved a majority of the stunts feel in comparison to previous entries, but the experience overall is tight and fun the whole way through. brad bird’s direction is definitely an improvement over abrams’, but de palma’s is still my favorite. this definitely comes the closest so far to emulating the humor and atmosphere of the original and melding it with modern sensibilities. if the first half of woo’s sequel wasn’t so abysmally nauseating with its forced hetero energy it would’ve edged out this entry. if only there were an app in which i could discuss jeremy renner’s role in this film with other diehard fans.
- keithy077July 16, 2025Lots of TC running.
- Spaceman JoeMay 28, 2025It’s just so amazing. Best franchise right here.
- Sarah JMay 25, 20252nd only to the OG. Fight me
- PatrikStarJune 19, 2025The humor to action rate is perfect in that movie!
- Gene CapmanOctober 28, 2025I loved the overall lightheartedness of this installment. It didn't take itself too seriously while still delivering high stakes action.
- ZokkiieSeptember 1, 2025Just a fun, high-energy ride with some truly insane stunts — that Burj Khalifa scene alone is worth it. The story can get a bit messy and predictable, but the cast works well together and the action never lets up. Overall, it’s a solid, entertaining flick.
- Harish CousalDecember 17, 2025The series fully reinvents itself here, Practical stunts steal the spotlight. Dubai sequence is pure cinema.
- Samy3232December 12, 2025Very good
- RTKDOOMNovember 30, 2025It’s got a lot of great sequences and moments but I think the lighter tone actually toes a goofy line too often. Felt a little too Fast and Furious here and there for potential nuclear doomsday plot however Fallout eventually got that right!
- HakihikoSeptember 24, 2025The Franchise Finds Its Spark "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" injects new energy into the franchise, leaning into massive set pieces and globe-trotting spectacle. Brad Bird's direction gives the film a slick, animated flair, with creative visuals and some of the most daring stunts in the series-most famously the Burj Khalifa sequence, which is worth the price of admission alone. Tom Cruise once again proves himself as a fearless action star, and the expanded team dynamic adds a lighter tone compared to previous entries. The humor and camaraderie balance out the tension, making this one of the more accessible films in the series. That said, the plot itself is fairly thin and sometimes feels like an excuse to move from one big stunt to the next. The villain, while serviceable, is forgettable compared to the franchise's best antagonists. Still, the pacing and spectacle carry the movie, ensuring it's a consistently fun watch. It has not the deepest story, but packed with breathtaking stunts and entertaining team dynamics, making it one of the franchise's most enjoyable rides.
- ColeApril 17, 2025Ethan Hunt’s transformation into a looney tunes character begins here and it’s glorious. The stakes are high and its action set pieces reflect that — the sandstorm car chase, the car park fight vs Cobalt, TOM SCALING THE BURJ KHALIFA! Not to mention Benji gets more of the spotlight and I love the additions of Brandt and Jane. Need them back for Final Reckoning desperately. The start of a new era in Mission and it kicks off with a BANG.
- Kevin WardJuly 7, 2025This one lives up to it’s reputation. It features some really creative action set pieces. I love the continually progressing espionage tech with the MVP going to the projection hallway sequence. The entire team has really excellent chemistry together. Cruise, Renner, Patton and Pegg. I loved it. Kids loved it. Even my daughter who sat out part 3, I think is back on board with the franchise. I regret not watching this one sooner. Looking forward to the next entries.
