Am I the only one that thinks that this MI is not up on par as the older episodes?....

Story line to me is so-so only. The older episodes have better plots as well as more visual plots.

Actions wise, I think previous installment is better although most are ridiculously unreal same as the older ones. How can you get a knock flying from a few blocks up hitting the glass in the face yet still have a shinny smile with no bruise.

Suspense wise I can hardly see any. As compared to the older installment, the suspense keeps you on the seat.

To me, this is the worst MI flicks I have seen.

The villain with no plot in it had one on....
btw,

2nd is ok if one likes John Woo's ala actions.... MI2 has the most actions with guns blaring here and there...

At least one will always remember the motorcycle chase scene. But for Ghost Protocol, I just can't seem to think of any memorable scenes as a punch as well as a lot of character's story just died off and left hanging.

MI3 has the best plot so far and many good acting. A balance mix of action vs drama. MI1 drill into more story drama.

When I read through, I'm actually surprised many thinks that it's among the best from all the 4 installments which I thought I'm the only odd one out.

My point is to make it better, they could have actually include the scene on how the Serbs supposedly taken out Ethan's wife and how Ethan supposedly massacre the 6 Serbs assassins. Those flashback scene can be while Brandt is relating his experience in overshadowing Ethan.

As usual, most of the action are too exaggerating to the point of unreal. At least pls make it more believable. You see Bond with crooked face bruises and all. You see Jason Bourne with gun shot wounds, cuts etc... but Ethan was just too perfect with hardly and injury to tend to. Except of course the last scene which again ppl or at least I would expect a better suspense yet to me is a let down how the fight ended.

Overall to me this is the sort of movie you went to and say bravo, yes actions and slight "cold" humor then the next thing you know, you forgot about the story because there's no story intact as the plot is left hanging.

I almost booked Gold Class, and luckily I didn't. Else I would have regretted it.

If you asked me, I would say all the MIs before that had their plan foiled up and Ethan always depends on hunches and luck which is the biggest factor in most of the "espionage" movies out there. This one just showed that all the backup equipments failed to the max.

On the humour part, to me most of the installment has it. Just that whether everyone gets it. This is more blatant. However when I watched it on Saturday morning, hardly anyone laughed out loud in the Cinema.

Nay, everyone just had their own view and perceptions.
Some will like it, some might not. Nothing can satisfy 100% of the community.
I'm one of those that dislike it

Have mentioned that. But never actually went to count.

Actual pain only comes or rather portrayed in the last scene

Kremlin and Dubai doesn't justify his injury

Heck it's "Impossible" for starters. The opening from Agent Hannaway already shows that "impossible" is the correct term and expectation for the movie. haha

spoiler spoiler... hehe

The whole movie is to portray how handsome Cruise looks.

But Craig Daniel looks even more sexier and macho with all his bruises...
