I saw MI4: Ghost Protocol yesterday w/ my family. I was actually really pumped to watch this, but I have to say, theatres are now MILKING the time before the movie begins for all it’s worth. I swear, they must have showed 30 minutes worth of commercials and trailers before the actual movie finally started.
Once the movie started though, it was actually good! There were a few moments that were a bit cringe-worthy (by which I mean it was really cheesy), but I really enjoyed the characters and definitely the action sequences. Even though Tom Cruise is kinda crazy, he gets props for doing all of his own stunts, I almost peed my pants in one of the scenes!
Definitely a lot of funny dialogue, gripping action and fighting, and some engaging backdrops were able to really overcome the few stupid moments in the movie.
Likes:
- Simon Pegg (effortlessly funny)
- amazing action
- cool gadgets
- some genuinely surprising twists
- unique and pretty backdrops
- a villain that isn't gimmicky
- a hot sidekick
- Runtime of 133 minutes... started getting a bit long @ the end
- Cheesy attempts to give "life lessons"
- Some parts were a bit too ridiculous to be believable, even for me.
