Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) Brad Bird
The first time I watched M:I-GP, I saw it in the theatre, in IMAX, and it pretty much blew my socks off (seriously, it was really loud - but I also really really enjoyed it). I enjoyed it so much that I just bought the Blu-ray.
I thought it held up really really well, and even though there were complaints that the IMAX sequences weren’t expanded to a 16:9 aspect ratio, it still looked fucking ridiculous.
And even though I laughed more at how ridiculous it is, and the ridiculous product placement, I still really enjoyed it, and do not regret buying it. It’s just really overall a ridiculous movie, in a good way I think. I also liked the making-of special features of shooting on the Burj and of the final parking garage sequence. I find that knowing more about how stunts are performed and how effects are created increases my enjoyment of a movie like this.
One question though - do all of the Mission: Impossible credits sequences show the entire movie? I thought it was a really weird approach, if not.

Mission: Impossible III (2006) JJ Abrams
Definitely no Ghost Protocol. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a great villain. Strangely, the only time I’ve ever found Jonathan Rhys Meyers to be more attractive than alienesque. Simon Pegg should be in errthing.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol: The IMAX Experience (2011) Brad Bird
Maybe it was just the IMAX, but I feel like this was probably the best action movie I have ever seen. From the opening sequence pretty much until almost the end (could have done without the cheesy meetup), it doesn’t stop. It managed to succeed in the way the best animated films succeed - in capturing my complete and total suspension of disbelief, even in self-aware or joking moments. And it was just so much fucking fun.
