Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol

[Ari]

Searched for a thread, surprised not to see one.

Watched it tonight, good film. Not quite the high that MI3 was, but close enough.

First time I've seen a concept car in a movie too.

[Beefmeister]

I enjoyed it too, much better than 2 and 3.

Oh, and did you not see the other Tom Cruise concept car?

The Lexus in Minority Report...

Are you suggesting we're not..!?

[Trustmeimadoctor]

well evil masterminds maybe but idiots some maybe

[louiebaby]

I liked it. Not enough to go to the cinema twice, but enough to give it a watch again when it's on TV...

We were discussing how much Tom Cruise is worth / has earned, particularly off the Mission Impossible films. For the first 3 he AVERAGED $70m per movie, and looks set to do well out of this one too. It seems he forfeits an upfront payment in return for a share of the profits. Which seems smart.

same as with harrison for on the starwars films

Daniel Craig might beg to differ on that one

[Trustmeimadoctor]

but thats in effect a british film so by default germans and russians are the baddies

I watched it on IMAX. Enjoyed it.
Not a 'Great Film' but enjoyable cinema. Much better than the previous 2 MI films.

A decent mix between action/drama/light hearted humour.

The Dark Knight Rises prologue shown before was better though.

[Ari]

I really liked two and three, three especially.

I enjoyed it more than the previous films. Some rather obvious sponsorship from Apple and BMW aside!

[rasto]

Watched it tonight and thought it was really good. The action sequences were very well done and quite enjoyed Paula Pattons 'visuals', especially when she was wearing the blue dress

I'm going to see it tonight. Is it a 'stay until the end of the credits because they've tacked a bit on at the very end' film or can we bugger off once the end credits start?

[uk66fastback]

The latter.

Not my kind of film at all, but me and the missus went New Year's Eve ... harmless escapism for two hours (and loads of Pick n' Mix).

I'd rather watch something with a decent plot and dialogue than wall-to-wall special effects but wsa impressed by the Dubai building climbing bit with the sticky gloves - let's say the effects have come on a bit in recent years - I'd swear that was actually done!

Edit: fk it was! Cruise did it - albeit bemg securely held to the building by loads of wires and ropes that were digitally eraed in post-production! fk. Hats off to you Thomas.

I won't bother watching it on TV when it's on though ...
