Top CriticThe plot is simply an excuse to show off all that whiz-bang technology.

Ebert Presents At The Movies
It has a few very good ideas, and then, the rest of it is totally lackluster.

A passable - and forgettable - franchise entry.

Digital Spy
After the infectious fun of JJ Abrams' M:I 3, which sparkled with the wit and charm of his espionage series Alias, the fourth installment is a thudding disappointment.

Eye for Film
If we are watching Hunt caught, like the western world, in an inexorable downward spiral, we may crane our necks to watch the carwreck, but also wonder if this uneven franchise remains roadworthy.
Little White Lies
It's kind of flat, inert - occasionally spectacular but not all that exciting.

I'm thinking it, so I might as well say it: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is no Fast Five.
Slant Magazine
While Brad Bird's direction is not nearly as fleet as his CV in animation would lead one to hope, it's not without its pleasures either.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"Ghost Protocol" is a less a film than a vanity license plate writ large - a throwback to when all an action film needed was a bogus concept, chase scenes and a roman numeral in a title.

Hollywood & Fine
The seams are showing badly..Aside from blocks of exposition about the various code words, this movie is chopped up into a collection of action packages.
Tampa Bay Times
This franchise has never dazzled with brilliance but it certainly baffles with something else. Mostly it's video game-style violence... occasionally pausing for necessary exposition that at home would be times to rest your thumbs.

Brad Bird takes the series up a notch with enjoyable character dynamics and a straightforward but still intriguing story featuring plenty of unique action set pieces.

Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol may be nothing ground-breaking but it is the best example of how to make a skillfully made action film that works because of all the right elements that are blended together to create pure adrenaline bliss.

American Profile
Director Brad Bird juices and gooses the whole affair with edge and excitement, new energy, humor and heartbeat, and a terrific feel for big, bold, audaciously daring sequences that beg for the biggest screen available.
