Wow I knew the director came from Pixar but did not expect him to make this literally like a cartoon. If not for some explicit death scenes this could totally be mistaken for a Disney spy flick. Even the actors acts like cartoon characters with their exaggerated facial expressions and numerous befuddled looks. This film shouldn't even be called mission impossible. Very disrespectful to other films in the franchise.
shareI agree it came off as a Disney cartoon, but didn't mind it. This was definitely the teen-friendly version. Each film has a unique style to it and this was the Incredibles version. Can't wait for the next style. Here's hoping for a Tarantino version.

Bah ha haaaa.

in the first scene, a good guy gets shot 4 times, then shot 2 times execution style. How can you even consider it a disney movie?, moron

Are you guys high or something? How the *beep* can you compare this to Disney? If you're making this claim just because Brad Bird has only animated films on his resume, then you're just simply feeble-minded.

Well the 'color grade' in this film certainly was NOT natural.
.
Its the best Mission Impossible since the first one... which I seem to recall, had a very unnatural colour grade as well.

I actually came here to post something along the lines of this topic as well. This movie did not feel like mission impossible at all. I thought it was way too lighthearted and PG feeling. Felt like a movie like 'The Tuxedo' or 'Spy Game'
I was unaware that the director only had animated films under his belt, but it makes sense now. You can definitely see it in this film
I too was very disappointed.
The script was horrible...dialogue was so weak.
The 'action' was beyond ridiculous. Perhaps Renner's floating was the biggest stretch.
I liked Renner and the trailer was awesome.
I don't think it was a cartoon, but the Incredibles was better.
It really felt cheap the way they jumped from one country to another.
Good thing, the 'only' secret boxcar was exactly where and when they needed it.
I've got to get me one.

You're talking about a movie that features several war settings, assassination plots, a suicide bomber, prisoners abused during interrogation in jail, global politics, and a clever but complicated ploy by which a CIA-operative circumvents and outsmarts his bosses (all drenched in gritty camera-work and accompanied by dramatic music from a Hans Zimmer protege).
It was a little bit tongue-in-cheek with some subtle in-jokes (like Ethan having to make the message self-destruct, the mask machine breaking or everyone sort of knowing Ethan would do impossible stunts), but I'll take it over M:I-2 any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

I have very little to say. And what that is. Is that you all are retarded for thinking this is a disney movie in style lol.
shareThe Grifters is a Disney movie
shareThis is exactly why I hate this movie. Bird brings his animation-style uber-unrealistic pixar-production nonsense into a franchise which has proven to be more successful when the movie has been conveyed with (more)realistic sentiment eg MI1, MI3.
I was looking forward to this movie for ages hoping they would return to the old school cinematography driven elements of the De Palma classic, it was immensely disappointing to watch Bird turn this into a rubbish kids movie.

IIRC, this is not only the most successful MI in their eyes, it's the most successful Tom Cruise movie. share
Mission: Impossible II was a lot more cartoonish and unrealistic than Ghost Protocol.
When I get excited I sound Caucasian. You know, like that guy from 'Hangin with Mr. Cooper'. - Griff, MWC
I liked it. It didn't seem cartoonish to me at all. It certainly wasn't realistic, but this is MI, not a Bourne movie. The whole thing was great fun and more like the TV series. It even inspired me to go back and watch MI3, something I'd skipped as the franchise was boring me.

Although it didn't literally look like a cartoon, it had the general tone of one, which turned me off. Right from the start when the agent jumps off the building and lands onto the inflatable that instantly opens, and the way that the characters interacted was pretty hyper. Simon Pegg even looks like he was created in 3ds Max.
It should've been called Mission Incredibles: Ghosted Script!

this movie was freaking great...it felt more like the original tv series

Is this what people do when they watch a fun movie and don't know what to complain about to make themselves feel superior?
It's funny how so many people post on here feeling like they are 'smarter' than the material. More 'intelligent' than all those 'idiots' who likes the movie... overcompensating much?
Yes here is a great MI film and there a few pseudo-smart folks,who hate this
outstanding thriller.Yes overcompensating,indeed!
Watched it for the first time last night. I thought it was awesome and quite a breath of fresh air in the action genre from chaotic bull like Transformers.
Very slick and 'grounded' (but nowhere near realistic. Which is a good thing) action. Can't see where you're getting this 'Disney cartoon' nonsense from considering a guy gets assassinated five minutes in, the Kremlin suffers a devastating terrorist attack, very suggestive Jane scenes and there's an overlying threat of all out nuclear annihilation.
Very fun movie. It's what blockbusters should be.

MI:2 was a cartoon or more like a really *beep* anime made for western audiences.
