The Incredibles

Brad Bird, in my opinion, is a very "reliable" Disney animation director. Not only does one of his favorite animations "Iron Giant" come from him, in recent years he has also helped Pixar through "The Incredibles" and "Ratuiture King". Climbed to the pinnacle of Hollywood animation. It is also reasonable to get him to film "Mission: Impossible 4". The dazzling and dazzling action scenes in "The Incredibles" and the chase scenes on the streets of Paris in "Ratatouille" fully show the difference. The control of the action scenes in the environment and the ability to create great rhythmic entertainment.

Therefore, the exciting and exciting action scenes in "Mission Impossible 4" are definitely above the standard. The story continues the "tradition" of the previous episodes of separating paragraphs through environmental changes. This one also has a very obvious three-paragraph structure: Moscow -Dubai-Mumbai. First of all, let me talk about the Dubai section. Before the release, both the trailer and the poster were full of colors to promote the scene of Tom's jumping on the Burj Khalifa, which was a bit boring. After all, he only jumped to Shanghai Shimao in the previous movie. This time it is just a taller tower. . If you think like I do, then wait to enter the cinema to accept the surprise! Brother Tom is like a middle-aged Spider-Man climbing on the Burj Khalifa. The scene took away all my breath. It seems that it has been a long time since I saw such a thrilling and unsettling scene in the cinema. He sat in front of the screen and clenched his fists. The palm is full of sweat, if it is IMAX, it should only be more shocking! A double spy trading scene immediately after the tower jump was also full of emotional tension and suspense. Finally, it ended with a speeding car scene in a sandstorm. The entire Dubai section combined with movement and quiet was absolutely enjoyable at one go. This scene alone was worth the fare.
It's a pity that this scene is so exciting that the film is like premature ejaculation, and the next Mumbai passage that should have a climax is a bit dwarfed. The seduce drama is too procrastinating and the jokes are too plain, diluting the tight rhythm, but it is quite exciting for Brandt played by Jeremy Renner to complete the iconic suspension action scene of the "Mission Impossible" series instead of Tom. After that, the melee in the parking building was thrilling enough but still, because the starting point of the Dubai section was too high, this section could not support the finale task at all. The villain is not only completely illogical, but also the weakest in the entire series. In the end, Tom can only break a leg to balance the strength of both sides.

Speaking of strength, when watching "Mission: Impossible 4", I forgot to watch a spy movie several times. It is as high-tech as superpower (the visual control screen is too awesome!), flying all kinds of hits. The protagonists who are still unscathed, is Brad Bird sure that he is not shooting the live-action version of "The Incredibles"? ! Especially Brother Tom, in the fourth part, the action scenes are bold and exaggerated and almost crazy. The agent Ethan Hunt in memory is already non-human!

story? puff. If "Mission Impossible 2, 3" still has a story and reversal, the plot of "Mission Impossible 4" is really flat and straightforward without reversal. Moscow-Dubai-Mumbai went down three paragraphs, but I didn’t grab the code, so I went to another city to grab a code-controlled weapon, and I didn’t grab the weapon, so I continued to grab the remote control that controls the weapon...Atang is like traveling. The tour guide dragged us from one city to another, from one action scene to another, during which only explanatory lines were enough to speak to the camera. The most bloody thing is the role of the Russian policeman. What is he doing in the movie?
In "Mission: Impossible 4", agent Jane can't forget that the murdered lover wants to take revenge. Brandt feels guilty for his faults. Tom seems to think about the murdered woman... the so-called "truth" at the end. It was revealed that Tom was portrayed as a lonely heroic character, and by the way, an emotional motivation was set for him to save the world at all costs, which made the story of "Mission Impossible 4" appear more complete.
If action effects are aside, the biggest advantage of "Mission Impossible 4" is its team charm. The four-person team in this film is perhaps the most pleasing in the entire series. It may be due to the small number of people, but I believe it is more of the charm of the four characters. Although Ethan Hunt is not as decisive as in "Mission Impossible 3", he still dares to sell his life and has the same leadership charm; Benji's cuteness needless to say, he has the cuteness of a technical house; Brandt's whole body exudes a very unique introverted charm; Jane's character of turning into a nemesis for love is also very interesting, and the Mumbai passage is full of choppy visual impact. The four people face unplanned, unequipped and no back-ups together. They are all in a tacit understanding of sudden actions at any time. The sparks from different personalities are also very interesting. People really want to see them all come back in the next part.

As for the actors, Brother Tom looks more desperate when he is so old, which is really admirable, but the figure and appearance are no longer the same in the first film; the technical otaku Simon Peggy successfully completed the funny and humorous task of the whole film; Jerry Mi Reina's role is the most interesting and richest, and it is probably the most likable, especially when he says "willing to seduce the rich", I believe he will poke the G spot of many people. When Sawyer in "Lost" appeared, I was a little excited. I didn't expect that the soy sauce was too shabby...

"Mission Impossible 4" is like a collection of three short films, each of which is It's exciting enough, but it not only lacks convincing narrative logic, but also reverses the order of primary and secondary. If the Dubai section can be swapped with the Bombay section and become the climax of the show, then it would be a great action movie. But this does not affect "Mission Impossible 4" becoming the most popcorn action special effects blockbuster in this Christmas file. It is full of rhythm, humor and excitement constantly burst out at the same time. The special effects are very eye-catching and easily become the most entertaining one in the entire series. Department.
Overall, it’s a three-and-a-half-star value. For Tom’s hard work, Peggy and Jeremy’s cuteness, and the Dubai scene that is enough to become one of the most exciting passages in the "Mission Impossible" series, it is easily worth the price. If conditions permit, we must look at IMAX.

PS: The opening and subtitles continue to be like the beginning of the first part. The burning leads connect in series some "trailer shots" of the whole movie. It is very exciting to cooperate with the familiar Theme Song!
