And yet I can't remember a single thing that happened in it... or the last one, for that matter... or the one before that... A two-parter makes me immediately wary, but we'll see. Quote
Wolf-1 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 I thought Cruise looked really "stiff" in the last one, particularly jumping out of the truck and trying to run alongside Henry C.; the stunt double, lets film at the knees, running scene was unneeded filler as well. All they can do at this point is either give Hunt a happy ending with the English chick or kill him off and pass the torch, preferably to Jeremy R. Quote
eXis10z Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Man why the need for part 1 and 2? Following in Harry Potter and Hunger Games eh. Oh wells as long as they do not degrade into the ridiculous mess the Fast and Furious franchise have turned to. Edited January 16, 2019 by eXis10z Quote
sh9000 Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I liked Henry Cavill in the last one and was hoping he would be in more of them up until the ending twist. I’ll still check out MI 7. Quote
kalvasflam Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I definitely liked Cavil in that movie better than him as Superman. Quote

jvmacross Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I haven't watched any of these....are they all stand-alone movies like the James Bond series? Quote
derex3592 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 1, 2, and 3 are kinda standalone yes. I think the last 3 or so do tie together. I've seen them all but the last 3 or so only once. 1 and 3 are my favs. The last one was very good IMHO. The one where Cruise actually flew the helicopter and Superman guy was in it. Quote
JB0 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I admit to having a fondness for Ghost Protocol. It wasn't really great cinema, but I liked the premise of a spy movie where everything goes wrong and the gadgets are defective. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 The last 3 have all been excellent and the original is a classic. 2 and 3 both kind of suck though with 3 being by far the worst. 2 would probably be decent if it wasn't so stereotypically John Woo, 3 is just a shitshow. Quote
Dynaman Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 You don't need to see any of the movies before any of the others. Any plot points that are important are given enough detail to watch each of them individually. Quote

That said, if you do watch them all, there are winks, nods, and other subtle references to the earlier movies in the latter three. For example, I really enjoyed Ghost Protocol all that much more when I noticed the brief appearance in a non-speaking role of a certain minor character from the first movie. However, Dynaman is right. The movies (especially the last few) were pretty much... "But McQuarrie and Cruise are keenly aware that they can’t lean too heavily on the plot or people will lose interest. We don’t need speeches. And so the dramatic stakes of the set-up are pretty much enough. Nuclear bombs, a double agent or two, a homicidal mastermind—now go!" https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/mission-impossible---fallout-2018 Edited January 12, 2020 by sketchley Quote

eXis10z Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) I see the first 4 as stand alones. Rogue nation and Fallout are kinda linked since they touch on the same villain organization. I quite enjoyed the last 3. Edited January 13, 2020 by eXis10z Quote

While it's true that all 6 films are basically stand alones (in the sense that they provide enough detail within an individual movie to understand the greater context), I would say that 4, 5 and 6 are linked. Such things as the disbanding of the IMF organization and the destruction of the Kremlin in 4 are relevant to the plot/in-universe world in 5, and 6. And, as much as I totally dislike 3 and find it a redundant retread of 2, it kind of is essential if you want to fully understand Ethan Hunt's actions and character arc in 4 and 6. Quote

Dynaman Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) If nothing else the last few have been better then the last few Bond movies. I was not impressed with the (first) MI movie at all - well I was negatively impressed. (edit - added in edit, forgot to write it first time around) Edited January 14, 2020 by Dynaman Quote

With the exception of Skyfall which IMHO was quite good, I wholeheartedly agree that the recent MI movies have been infinitely more enjoyable than the most recent Bond movies. -b. Quote
Big s Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 One thing is for sure and that’s the main actor playing the main character for so many big budget films for several decades. Most people stop at a trilogy Quote
TangledThorns Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Good to see Esai Morales getting big parts again. I bet his work in OZARK helped 😃 Always liked him since La Bamba. Quote
