Description: In the mid 90s, the cinematic landscape was much different. Batman and the general comic book film was about to go on hiatus until 2005 after director Joel Schumacher drove its toyetic Batmobile up a building and over ice, and The Addams Family had their two films come and go. We needed a new action hero based off an already established commodity. Enter an at the time squeaky clean ever smiling Tom Cruise as Agent Ethan Hunt. The Mission Impossible film series, based on the 60s television show, started off as the first film franchise Cruise was associated with. But the films gradually turned into the go to when Cruise needed a hit or image makeover. When Mission Impossible III was getting ready to be released in 2006, star Tom Cruise was in major need of an image makeover. When Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol was released in 2011, he was desperate need of a hit. The years between the films were not very good to him, as bombs such as Rock of Ages, Oblivion, and Knight and Day came and went without much more than a blip on the radar. So, following in the pattern established since the beginning of the franchise, Cruise decided to go back to the Mission Impossible well to get his career back on the right track. With previous director JJ Abrams on as producer, and newcomer to live action directing Brad Bird (The Incredibles) behind the camera, Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol made close to $695 million at the box office and garnered a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But how will we feel? Join me, Pete, and Matt as we once again delve into the franchise that made Tom Cruise into a certified action star with this in depth review of Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. And be sure to keep tuning in, as we are leading up to a review of Mission Impossible: Fallout, to be released July 27 from Paramount Pictures.   Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011) (?/10, ?/10, ?/10)     CLICK ABOVE TO LISTEN NOW!
