Movie Re-Review: "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol"

MI4 is a well-done action movie that hits the nails in the right spots. Is a good mix of different aspects. You have comedy, with Pegg and Renner offering different but equally entertaining comedic elements. Action is a given, but some of the scenes here are breathtaking, especially Dubai, from the opening Dubai scene, to the Berj, to the sandstorm. The MI series is a contrast to Bond in that it's a team effort, despite Hunt being the main focus. Peggy's character, Dunn, was the Q equivalent, if Q became a field agent. Looking forward to how Q is reinterpreted for Skyfall. The music is also very good, with exceptional themes for the Russian scenes. Some parts are silly, namely Kapoor's character. The villain, on second viewing, is actually interesting. Hendricks lacks personality, but his view of nuclear war to create peace on earth is very interesting. It is almost as if he feels he is doing the world a favor. The alternate opening, with him practicing his speech, may have even made for a better opening. Overall, MI4  hits the right spots, and earns its spot as a top action film series aside the Bonds and Die Hard movies.
