Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol surprised everyone upon its release. Not only did it end up grossing almost $700 million worldwide, but it signaled a real comeback for Tom Cruise and is arguably the best entry in a franchise that audiences have had a mixed relationship with. Cruise’s baby has taken a refreshing approach for most blockbuster series’, in that every entry actually takes its time. Rather than churning out crud every few years to capitalize on interest, a new director with a new vision is hired every time, and we always have a healthy break of 4 to 6 years between films- Cruise’s Ethan Hunt significantly matures and the whole thing never feels stale.

It was suggested for a while after the fourth movie’s massive success that Brad Bird would return. Luckily, cooler heads and Tomorrowland prevailed, and as well as a new director yet to be announced, Paramount took the wise decision to hire Hollywood’s hottest new screenwriter and jolly nice chap Drew Pearce. Pearce was behind this year’s highest-grossing and most enjoyable blockbuster, Iron Man 3. Madcap, smart and funny as hell, Pearce’s writing was one of the biggest factors behind Tony Stark’s best outing to date.

Ghost Protocol was the only M:I movie that I liked. I'm not a Cruise fan and I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did. Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg were also fantastic, and it would be criminal not to bring them back for another sequel.

I'd also like to see one (or all??? ) of the surviving original cast members, (Martin Landau, Barbara Bain, Peter Lupus, Steven Hill) reprise their roles OR have cameos. I think it may do a lot to make up for the fact that Peter Graves was replaced by Jon Voight in the first Cruise M:I flick.
