Go see Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. I haven't enjoyed a movie that much in almost forever. I went into it expecting it to be just so-so. I figured the last one was okay, the second one sucked and the first one was pretty good, but aged pretty badly. This one would probably have one or two good scenes and be a nice way to kill two hours and $19.
Yes, it cost me $19 to see this movie--a fact that I spent 15 minutes cursing about as I watched the little "buy your tickets" timer run down on Fandango. My wife had to be the one to push the button for me, because I cannot understand how movie tickets went from $7 five years ago to $18.50 for one person today.
I share that rant to highlight the fact that I went into the theater ready to criticize everything, but I came out grinning from ear to ear. Was it a thinking man's film? No. Did the plot make much sense? Not really. There was just enough plot thrown in to explain why they were shooting at people and to give the sound system a break in between making explosion noises. As cliche as this sounds, the scene from the poster above literally took my breath away. I never get excited in movies, but I even let out a loud "YES" when that scene was over.
Also, it doesn't hurt that the new Dark Knight Rises trailer premiered before the film. I don't want to get my hopes up, but it made The Dark Knight look like that old Adam West Batman movie.
Go see MI-4...and see it in Imax. It's worth every penny, all one thousand eight hundred and fifty of them.
