Chris Stuckmann reviews Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, starring Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Josh Holloway, Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Lea Seydoux, Anil Kapoor. Directed by Brad Bird.
Not enough people are talking about the Kremlin scene. The moment when Simon Pegg's face gets into the projection thing... Laughs forever.
lyricsfromsweden agreed
+lyricsfromsweden I love how almost the entire scene is silent aswell
Callum Brown Making it both intense and funny at the same time.
Just a great scene.
lyricsfromsweden that was hilarious 😂 and afterwards ethan breaths heavily n looks intense at him n both are just super still not moving a muscle lool
lyricsfromsweden DRAYMON GReEN
I really loved the addition of Jeremy Renner to the cast. One of my favorite scene was the car into the river scene and how Renner's character kept asking all those questions like "the flare? How'd you know that was gonna work?" and then the whole contact lens scene. I've been a fan of his since I saw him in a film about Dahmer and he killed it in 28 Weeks Later... Oh, and wasn't he in some kind of super hero movie?
The film's true villain: Murphy's Law.
With an equal mix of some really good luck
You're so right about that word _tension_. It pretty much describes why I fell in love with MI in the first place and why MI3 felt too much of an action pack, and why this one was better than that in terms of atmosphere and character buildup. Too bad the villains are very cardboard cutouts and really just walking around "being the bad guy" instead of having some depth. Maybe the French assassin had a little character because she showed emotion but even then she was just fighting, doing her job, perhaps a little bloodlustily, but still.
Scully the only brad bird movie with a good villain is the iron giant, and no I do not consider Syndrome to be a good villain.
Thank goodness that since then both Mission: Impossible "Rogue Nation" and "Fallout" have had great villains!! 😁😁
He wasn’t cookie cutter for me……he’s an insane man who thinks nuclear war will make the world stronger…sure we’ve seen it before but not in this franchise……he’s definitely not the worst villain that goes to MI 2……..I think Solomon Lane is a much more complicated character and it’s a tie between Jon Voights “Jim Phelps or Henry Cavills “August Walker” for near villain of the franchise so far
The tech always malfunctioning is an interesting observation. It's stuff like this that makes your reviews so great!
The review score for your shirt is a well earned A+
That "Pulp Widow" shirt was from Ript Apparel. Check em out they got cool designs daily.
Thanks. Now I know where to but that shirt.
Star Lord hi Peter Quill
Tici Toty Tony Hey.
Tici Toty Tony How would you rank the Mission Impossible movies?
Tyler Scott Wow I will totally do that and btw this is totally NOT an advertisement at all!
I'll always be *grateful* to this movie for introducing _Lea Seydoux_ to me.
Paradox Acres She's in Spectre, by the way!
Hunter Hughes Seriously? Wow, that's awesome.
A solid reason to watch _Spectre_, I guess.
Paradox Acres One reason for ME is BATISTA!
Hunter Hughes Yeah, it's awesome that Batista's getting roles in blockbusters.
Paradox Acres YEAH! I mean, aside from Vaako, Dahl, and of course, the man himself, he was probably my favorite part of Riddick. He was one of my favorite parts of The Man With The Iron Fists (SUCH a cool character!), and of course… DRAX! ("NOTHING goes over my head… my reflexes are too fast. I would catch it." TRUE STORY: a few days after Guardians came out, a good friend of mine sent me a drawing of Drax slapping his hands together as if he was catching a fly, and it was the word "METAPHOR". As soon as I saw that, I was like, "NICE!")
I watched it in the theaters and enjoyed it. I didn't realize Tom Cruise was really hanging off a building. A week later I saw behind the scenes footage and it blew my mind. I appreciated it so much more.
Hey Chris, if you ever can, can you review at least a few of the following please?: Watchmen, Children of Men, Gladiator, Incredibles, Harry Potter 1-7 Pt 1, Usual Suspects, Silence of the Lambs, Heat, The Town, Equilibiurm, DC animated movies, Blue Valentine, Wrestler and a Stanley Kubrick series like you did for David Fincher?
Continue being awesome
You ask him this on almost every video just stop
He doesn't have a reason to review those
Andrew Ole He wants to review older movies as well. Those are some suggestions.
Exactly, you've asked him 11 times just stop, ive seen you comment the exact same thing for his last couple of uploads , just ask him once no need for 11 times. Also calm down I know you've finally learned your big boy words but no need to use them like that.
The new DC animated movies suck though. Not that a lot of the older ones are gold, but at least they try to make them interesting and not about Damian Wayne or try to make it a new DCAU.
This movie was brilliant in IMAX. I agree, the movie kinda peaked with the dubai sequence.
I LOVED this movie...
Oh bud “ some people were wondering if Tom cruise is to old to keep doing this” .... years later fallout blows action movies out of the water
His career was really in a fallow period to the extent that when Top Gun 2 was planned around this time Maverick was only going to be a supporting character/cameo.
Additionally, Cruise had to take a paycut for this movie and they were considering making him the new IMF secretary and handing the series over to Jeremey Renner.
He certainly turned things around massively!
Still my favourite film in the series and it shows just have talented Brad Bird really is.
This one > M!6 Fallout
@@FranciscoPerez-nr3vr They're both great, I don't know which one I like more.
This and Dead Reckoning Part 1 are my favorite of the franchise
He should do live action films again
Brad Bird Directing Mission Impossible is like the Equivalent of Gerry Anderson directing a Bond Film
Michelle Monaghan was great in M:III, I'm glad that her character survived, perhaps she will return in V/VI.
Spoiler alert she comes back in VI
I agree, too...as a matter of fact, when Chris Stuckmann puts the “A” right next to Cruise, I can help be keep imagining Tom looking at the phone going, “Where’s my ‘A’??”
That Dubai sequence is truly one of the greatest action sequences of all time 💯💯
Paula Patton is... MMM!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@Commenter 10 Chimp
The "No Shit," joke was the funniest part of the movie, it had me laughing my ass off.
Okay... honestly: Suicude Squad??!!
Yeah Chris, where is it
WeirdPhilosophy good point
WeirdPhilosophy Sweekood?
WeirdPhilosophy Right!
WeirdPhilosophy who cares everybody has already talked about it to death
100% agree. This movie was so suspenseful, especially the finale. I can’t believe they even went as far as to have the bomb almost strike the USA.
I 100% agree with this review. Of course, when this film came out I gushed over it completely and was unwilling to see any flaws, but the villain is weak and some things are a little too convenient. I still LOVE this film and would give it an A- or an A today. It's my favorite M:I film as of now.
1. M:I 4
2. M:I 3
3. M:I
4. M:I 2
Rohan Mital never seen 2... And I don't think i'll even bother by the sound of things
RIP Michael Nyqvist. A true talent. A wonderful actor. So sad.
The scene where they are fighting for the briefcase was golden, funny and exciting to watch 😅
"This is a slick... almost electric looking movie." I like dat
7:35 it was scary. When Tom makes the precarious jump to reach the window I felt scared almost like when you are on a giant ferry wheel. Wonder how the jump to the window was filmed.
I selfishly really hope that Rogue Nation is good because I saw part of it being filmed my first week of studying abroad in Vienna at (minor spoiler) the Wiener Staatsoper (the Vienna state opera house) lol. Here's hoping, especially since Ghost Protocol was so fantastic (my personal favorite of the franchise by far).
Great action sequences, good character interactions, lot's of fun stuff going on. I enjoyed this MI. I also watched it in IMAX and I'm glad I did. Enjoyed it even moreso because of that, especially the Dubai building climb scene. I got a little freaked out when he slipped, hell, just seeing those shots from all the way up there in IMAX freaked me out a bit!
I know it's weird, but I watched this before I watched any other Mission: Impossible movie...I was really surprised how much I loved it and didn't even need to see any of the previous films to understand what was happening. Of course I then went back and saw the other 3 and stuff, and i am SUPER pumped for Rogue Nation!
Brad Bird flew
I saw this in theaters with my sisters; they were so nervous during the tower scene that they chewed their fingernails off!
I think it's interesting that you mention that there's a sense of tension in the film, or that the film isn't just action scene after action scene because Brad Bird had a similar approach with the Incredibles, which showcases a lot of tension and the superheroes sneaking around instead of racing from one action scene to the next with nothing in between.
I'd enjoy a Mission Impossible (or Bond) film with Benedict Cumberbatch as the main antagonist, both intellectually and physically. I'm not suggesting he be a superhuman killing machine like Khan, but it would be nice to give him combat and espionage skills equal or superior to Ethan's. This should be a villain he can't beat head on, the past generation's best of the best, who challenges everything Ethan believes in. Perhaps he could be a former IMF agent thought to have been killed alongside his family decades ago on orders from Phelps, which Ethan discovers was a frame up, leading Benedict to seek vengeance by exposing the IMF's greatest secrets to the public at any cost to innocents. He'd make Ethan question whether the IMF has caused more problems than it's solved, since corruption always seems to be a part of it. I would have Ethan ultimately retire as a field agent and lead a new IMF with better values, creating new squads mentored by former teammates. That would be a good conclusion to the saga.
1. Ghost Protocol
2. M:I:3
3. Mission Impossible
4. M:I:2
Hopefully Rouge Nation is great
Speaking of gorgeous cinematography, Robert Elswit is one of my favorite cinematographers alongside Roger Deakins.
I think you hit the nail on the head for something much larger than just this movie.For the entire franchise (and I include the tv show, I love the first season of the original show) the villain is very rarely a human. What makes Mission Impossible so amazing is that the villain is, well, the impossibility of the mission. The best scenes in the franchise all happen when something goes wrong, or comes very close to going wrong. This is why I don't think you need fleshed out human villains for this franchise. It's ok if they're two dimensional, because we aren't in the theater to watch the story of two characters fighting. We're more in theater to watch people who are very good at their job be very good at their job in very extreme situations.
I love Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol! When I first went to see it, I didn't know what to expect, but after seeing it, I was very pleasantly surprised about the movie! MI4 is so good!
Brent: Your not going to make it!
Ethan: No Shit!
I was working on Top 20 of the decade list so far, but yeah this made it without question. This movie is so good, very crisp, very well put together. It does remind of Avengers in that sense but not only is this more believable. It's just more thrilling and more suspenseful. The opening sequence is one of my favorites ever. I love that their resources are scarce. I love seeing their mistakes and for something so rare in action movies, their mistakes have consequences. And they fail more times in this than succeeding, sometimes on purpose. They don't have the best team. They don't know each other. No one is introduced even, hardly any backstory and you still love these characters. The prison sequence and introducing what the mission is was all that was needed and mainly because they're all good at their job and they're all really likable people and somehow work best when together.
Tom Cruise basically has a concussion for the last half of the movie lol - the amount of times he gets hit and falls and gets back up, you feel that for sure. The parking lot fight, he is done. He does not want to do this anymore lol. Jeremy Renner, who is my fav actor, had my fav moment where he pumps himself up to jump off the ledge. Great movie.
Awesome review Chris. I love this movie. I agree it is the Best in the Franchise! A+
so, the connection between M:I and Star Trek continues...
Chris Stuckmann I'd just like to say thank you for all the stuff you've been doing. I'm an aspiring critic from Pakistan and after Siskel and Ebert, I've found your reviews to be a the most accessible ones I've come across. Keep up the amazing work, hope to keep watching your reviews in the future as well.
Says they're spoilers in the review so lemme ask: is it any good?
Yes
Yes it's a really fun action movie. It's amazing
Fucking good
Better than The Dark Shit Rises.
Tia Aaron fuck you
Chris could you review Akira please and why your at it I'm very interested what you think of watchmen.
for such a cool username, you have very basic movie taste. Pretty sure he's talked about Akira. And every nerd on the internet has collectively circle jerked watchmem to death so..
Iker C if something is overwatched it does not mean it diminishes in quality and new ppl could have never watches akira or watchmen ever in their lives
*and while you're at it
Not why your add it. Just to let you know!
Iker C
Okay first off, I listed only two movies so how could you really know my taste from that. Second, Chris has not talked about Akira in depth what so ever. He has simply mentioned it. Third Chris mentioned that he had not watched Watchmen before in his blu ray collection review has I recall. I happen to enjoy the film and many critics would agree with me. 4th the points that Coen Brothers and ssuo ben said. Redfox I have no excuse for that terrible spelling error lol. I really don't know what happened there.
The Narrator Happens to the best of us hahaha
I looooooove Ghost Protocol. One of my favorite action films from all time. It's also the only one of the series I've seen in theaters, and the only one I own on Blu Ray. Really looking forward to Rogue Nation.
Film-lovers and storytellers can both benefit tremendously from paying attention to the Stuckmann.
This was the first IMAX movie I saw that really blew me away. The building scene is still in my head and I haven’t even seen this movie since I initially saw it (laziness is my weakness when it comes to watching movies
I think it's heartbreakingly sweet that Ethan's wife lives, but his job just doesn't agree with him in keeping a normal marriage, that's why she's in hiding. That final scene with them saying their Hellos from a distance partnered with the melodramatic music just does it for me. :)
I gotta agree with you Chris. This is probably my favorite of the 4 so far.
I would love to see you do a LOTR movie reviews. :)
He did a while ago, it's under his playlist of A+ movies
thanks
Can you do reviews on Scorsese films, Taxi Driver is probably my favourite of all time
Wow this must be one your best reviews ever! You spotted everything in this film. Your vicious make other youtube critics look very unprofessional. This is what I call quality.
This is def my fav Mission Impossible film.
I cannot wait for the new film, hopefully its like Ghost Protocol.
Nice reviews of the M:I flicks, man. Gonna marathon all 4 at work (i work at an animation studio, so i can get away with that while I work haha)....
I have a suggestion for a future video(s)... with the 30th anniversary of "Back to the Future", you ever think about doing a retrospective review of the trilogy?...... Unless you weren't a fan haha. Cheers, homie!
I don't think that it's nitpicking to point out that the film peaks too early. Even as a non-critic that is my main complaint about the movie and something I really noticed. It is such a spectacular scene that everything that follows feels kind of mediocre in comparison, although in any other movie the last act would have been really great. But as you pointed out that just speaks to the strength of the Burj Khalifa sequence and overall I think Ghost protocol was a really good movie!
Love this movie so much,everything is great in thr movie except the villain. Can rewatch this any given day.
Mission Impossible: GP was really fun and thrill to watch!!!... But i know many people would disagree with me but i actually neverminded MI2 because that is a pretty good action film, but other than that #4 is awesome... CAN't wait for number 5 though!.. its looks Great!=)... also Chris, good review video once again!!.. you make so many reviews about films and etc, keep going man!!!.. So much respect for you! - Eddy Out!
I love how Chris always does his own real stunts for the MI movies.
What ? 😂😂
My favorite movie MI till date and 7th part is my 2nd fav
"Light the fuse!"
Villain? I could not remember who he was until you mentioned him. Third is still my favorite, but this is a close second.
First for chris is best reviewer.
Awesome review as always Stuckmann. I just recently picked up the special edition of the original film at Wal-Mart the other day. However the more I hear you and Flick talk about this sequel, the more I want to check it out. I have a question. I would assume I would have to see the first three for this one to make sense, or am I wrong?
I'm rewatching the series before Dead Reckoning.
Each movie is better than the last until Fallout. Fallout wasn't terrible, still fantastic. I just think it peaked with Rogue Nation. Fallout kept the peak, hopefully Dead Reckoning doesn't let up
The thing I love about the sandstorm scene is the fact they filmed it in a real sandstorm. A REAL FUCKING SANDSTORM!
I saw this movie in IMAX and I jumped when Ethan fell while climbing the building. So good.
Could you please review me,Earl, and the dying girl
As a swede, i dont think they gave Michael Nyqvist enough to do. For the first tine in maybe forever, a swede is a bad guy. That is just cool. He should have had more to do.
So glad they didn't go down the Alien 3 route.
This was my first IMAX experience, my heart went up into my throat during that Dubai scene.
Did you see MI Fallout in IMXA? If so how was it?
I really dig that Avengers, Pulp Fiction crossover shirt man.
When you said “the real antagonist is the situation” I immediately imagine Mike from Jersey Shore lmfao
This film absolutely delivers in every way. The only not picks I can give it were the nuclear codes plot is a little overused, and the villain had no meat to him. He was an inserted Bad guy and henchmen.
Other than those two small gripes this film was shot to perfection. Every frame was interesting. Masterclass in direction. The acting was top notch. The cinematography was well done. Editing was solid. Screenplay was tense and I loved it. score and queues worked seamlessly. Sound, CosHair Mkup par for the course. Set Design was stellar. Last but not friggin least the SpFX and cgi were used to perfection. Anyone wanting to know how to film stunts, explosions, and get the most out of cgi should watch every scene by itself and study it. The film starts and the stakes keep rising until they win.
1. Prologue with the eye scanner to get the codes. A+
2. Breaking out Russian prison/mission briefing A+
3. Kremlin Infiltration A+
4. Hospital Zip line/IMF debriefing/waterway escape A
5. Train car Recon/ mission prep A
6. Burj Khalifa all scenes A+
7. Dubai Sandstorm chase A+
8. Agent Brandt's past/Ethans deal with Russains A
9. Mumbai extraction A+
10. Mumbai car chase A
11. Mumbai tv station/motion parking garage A+
Just writing this is keeping me at the edge of my seat.
A superb film even after seeing the latest installment, Fallout, I believe Ghost Protocol is still top honors.
As of now my ranking of this action packed franchise is
1. Ghost Protocol
2. MI-1
3. Fallout
4. Rogue Nation
5. MI-3
6. MI-2
Everybody's favorite of them all.
I love 5'th & 6'th one more
But I have to be objective and sad that they made realy deamn good movie tho.
I think the first one is better but this is one's the most rewatchable and the most fun. Definitely my favorite
If anyone actually still bothers to read this, I’m probably gonna get alot of hate for it but come on! I How could anyone find that MI:4 has „more“ suspension than MI:3?
Let me recap...
MI:3 Opening scene
Ethan screams in pain, he‘s strapped to a chair, bleeding, sweating, his eyes are bloodshot and an absolutely relentless villain hold‘s a gun to a womans head (which one can only assume has a romantic relationship to ethan). The main character who usually has a solution for everything is alone, desperate and completely helpless to the point where he starts crying.
And then to top it all off... the villain shoots the woman in the head.
MI:4 Opening scene
Some random guy, who the viewer has absolutely no connection to runs around the streets of budapest with a smirk on his face that seems like he can‘t hide his excitement about actually having a role in a mission impossible movie and gets shot because he‘s too busy with his phone instead of watching the one and only person in the alley walking straight at him. Ethan breaks another random guy out of jail. No harm done. Everyone is safe.
On what planet is that suspenseful?! 🤨
Once I get done with the other 4 Mission movies I’ll be able to have a legitimate ranking of these film but for now this movie Ghost Protocol is by far my favourite one of the series, with 3 being last just cause Rogue Nations was something else. So my current ranking is
No.1 Ghost Protocol, No.2 Rogue Nations and No.3 M.I 3.
Can you review Trainwreck I really want to hear your thoughts on it!
The change in status in Ethan's wife came from Christopher McQuarrie in his un-credited re-write, a thread he picked up later and fleshed out later for Fallout.
Hey chris where did you get the super saiyan adult gohan figurine thats always in the background of your videos?
I guess the fight between the 2 female leads was Lea Sadoux's audition for Blue is the Warmest Color?
Chris, I love your channel and watch your videos religiously. You're one of the only people out there that says it like it is, which is why I'd love to see what your take on Watchmen is. I would die of happiness if you reviewed it.
Great reviews Chris....Can't wait for your review of the latest one!
I have a LAIN DVD lunchbox boxset that is MIB, sealed. I also have a sealed Kill Bill box set that comes with a samurai sword letter opener.
A very good review. I too agree with the villian, such a great actor playing such an under-developed character. Tom Cruise maybe the star of the film, but Pegg's Benji makes this film, the guy is fantastic and the humour is delivered at the right moments. Paula Patton may have a back story, but she's redundant. The only thing I remember of her character in this film is her fight with Lea Sedoux's assasin (speaking of which, when I first saw this film, I cheered that Sedoux finally got to challange her miserable cow persona into a cold hearted assassin)
I first saw this film in IMAX on Boxing Day, and I remember how some of the audience complained about feeling quesy at the Dubai sequences. They are a highlight of this film and are brilliant in their own right. I too agree that this film tries to go back to suspence of the first one and it tries brilliantly, although it'll never reach it's heights. Also it was great seeing Max's henchman from the first film guiding Ethan Hunt to the Russian's, I love those little reference tidbits.
When I first saw the ending of this film with Hunt walking away into a puff of smoke, I really thought this was his farewell moment, and it would have been a great farewell moment. But I was wrong.
Paula Patton's a 10
Easily
Love this movie, one of the best action movies to come out in reson years :D also good job pronouncing Michael Nyqvists name, i am from sweden so i know ;) fun fact for you non swedish speakers if you do a direct translation of his last name it would be newstick, now you know :p
Again. Awesome critique. Siskel and Ebert would be proud. :-) 2 thumbs up.
Not sure about most of those nitpicky things. However, I agree with the villain being a bit weak and his end seemed a little underwhelming but all in all, it's a great action movie! I didn't quite think that the seduction sequence was poorly placed. The movie needed to deescalate a bit to build up that confrontation in the parking garage and the urgent rush to override the bomb's detonation. I think it flowed damn near perfectly. Can't wait till Rogue Nation and hope they can keep this franchise alive because I really enjoy it so.
I think everyone should watch me,Earl, and the dying girl its such a relatable film and it was great it was a movie and for people who love film
Not only my favorite Mission Impossible but one of my favorite movies period. Excellent film!
Great review Chris. But if you're looking for something to review next, give Me & Earl & the Dying Girl a watch, if you can find it anywhere that is. I was lucky enough to see it and loved it.
Would you say you need to watch the first 3 to understand 4 and 5?
Chris, can you maybe review a little hidden gem called Balto? It's a very decent animated movie that really was a big part of my own childhood!
I would personally love it if you had the time.
Chris Stuckmann Hey Chris I'm a big fan of your work, and I just wanted to ask you if you could watch the TV Show Hannibal and maybe review it. It's a really great show and it's a shame it's not going to continue on air. I think that you would like it and I think that all Hannibal fans out there would appreciate if you did a review of the show because you have lots of fans, and maybe with your influence a lot more people would see it and like it, and maybe we could get more Hannibal in the future. If you read this thanks for reading all of it, and just so you know you have lots of fans in the Dominican Republic.
As of 2023, this and Dead Reckoning Part 1 are my Top 2 favorite M:I films
What do you guys think, is it possible to watch this movie out of the context of MI3?
I don't like action movies, and I was forced to watch this film at a theater. But I really liked it and it taught me action movies can be good at times.
One of your best shirts yet!
Great review :)
And your point about the movie peaking halfway through the film, I guess that is what happens when the makers create a movie around the idea of that intense climb up and down the tower in Dubai.
My ranking of the series is :
1. Mission Impossible (the original is the best for me)
2. Mission Impossible 3
3. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (though I say it is tied with MI3)
4. Mission Impossible 2
4 is so damn fun. Simple description of it but that really is the best way to describe it
