Rating: 4/5 Review: "Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol movie review" The end of the year is nearing. Mission: Impossible 4 and hopefully Sherlock Holmes will be rounding up the great year of movies. This does not disappoint in terms of intense action. Brad Bird 's live-action debut is entertaining and thrilling. So hats off to the director who is also well-known as the director of Pixar movies like The Incredibles.

And I think that is also almost half and hour. The exciting stuff happens when Bella realises she is pregnant with a monster baby.
