Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

Saw "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" last night. Fun, certainly in keeping with the improbability of the original. The CGI was predictably bad, but not overused. Tom Cruise was, well, Tom Cruise, but it was still fun. Bits of humor here and there. One scene went on for far too long in my opinion- trying to get a briefcase, oh, almost, something happens and it's gone again, almost! , gone again, oh, wait! almost! gone...

Yeah, we got it, make it more interesting than that. James Bond of late does this, too, with chase scenes. A couple time is fun, after that I'm just waiting for it to end.

And the thing with his wife? I liked the inclusion. A little backstory, a little detail, and yet he remains Ethan Hunt in all his omniscient glory.

Good scenery, nice place-setting shots, good toys, cute girls.
