Native film grain is slightly less aggressive when it comes to M:I-2 (2000) and while colours are still not perfect, they're less often overblown. Director John Woo's stylised photography provides even more opportunities to ramp up the dynamic range – although there is occasional ringing around heavily contrasted objects. Ever the trooper, it's Ghost Protocol that arguably cemented the franchise's - and the star's - name with regards to grand stunts, something which the early Bond films used to be celebrated for, but which Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible is now synonymous with.
