Mission: Impossible movies

There's a lot of them and they'll never end until Tom Cruise drives his motorbike into the moon; here's a thread.



This really makes it look like Rebecca Ferguson dies halfway through and is replaced by Hayley Atwell, but that could be what they want you to think!

It looks like they forgot to put in the exciting bits.

I don't think I've watched any of them start to finish.

I've seen the second one a few times, always like a bit of John Woo.

I watched them all back when we were locked down for four months during the pandemic.

It doesn't come out for a whole year.

I don’t understand why they released a trailer now and the trailer wasn’t even that exciting.

Because it was for CinemaCon or something anyway here's the real trailer a year later.

Bump for anyone who has seen Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One but can't find this thread.

I finally watched M:I - DR P1. The movie is entertaining in many of the ways these movies are: there's some great action, Tom Cruise runs around a lot and jumps off things, there's fun supporting characters (the highlight maybe being Pom Klementieff as a crazy hot assassin) and cool spy bits with faces being pulled off. What isn't so good is the villain known as THE ENTITY. It's an evil A.I. (of course!) and I don't think the movie does a good job establishing why it's such a threat. We get like a five minute exposition scene about it at the start and it feels like it would have been better to show what THE ENTITY is all about first. The human villain, while entertaining, is pretty underwritten too: he's just a guy who shows up every 30 years to kill one of Ethan's girlfriends? SPEAKING OF (spoilers)...

So yeah this is pretty much what happens. And I like Hayley Atwell a lot but why can't we have both? Is there only allowed to be one woman on the team at a time? The part where the villain is like "I'll kill someone you care about!" and it's a choice between Rebecca and Hayley doesn't make much sense as Ethan barely knows Hayley's character at that point. Would have made more sense for him to go after Simon Pegg or Ving Rhames.

But yeah it's still entertaining.

I've had it taped for a month but finding it hard to get the enthusiasm to watch a three hour film with no ending

It has an ending. You just need to wait a year and another 3 hours.

But I don't wanna!

It's about 2 and a half hours. It does have a "the team achieve a goal" ending at least.
