Mission: Impossible - Fallout | July 27 2018 | Paramount | Reactions coming in | "Best action movie since Fury Road"

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Rogue Nation is the best M:I movie, full stop. GP's probably my #2 though, it's great through the Dubai sequence, loses some steam in the 3rd act. Both have pretty mediocre villians, but the set-pieces carry each film. Probably 3-4 of the best action sequences of the decade are in GP and RN.

I'm a big fan of M:I 3, 4, & 5

De Palma's style in the original cannot be underestimated. Aesthetically speaking, it's hard to top the original. The Langley heist is one of the most breathtaking action sequences of the 90s. Rogue Nation is a close second, and Ghost Protocol a close third. III and II are entertaining despite being the lesser entries.

The first one is good, but it's also kind of jarring to watch today. It's just so completely far removed from modern blockbusters in every single way. It's kind of far removed from any blockbuster, tbh. Very much its own unique thing, for better or worse.

I had that feeling watching it for the first time last year, what would be the chance for a movie like that to not be a big flop today ?

 

Humor is almost 100% absent, very complicated dialogue heavy plot.

For MUCH better, imo.

The first one received a lot of complaints for being too confusing and not having enough action so that's why they hired Woo and made a more actionized sequel

MI1 is pretty rad. They all are, really. It's a good franchise.

[AJG]

I started watching MI1 four years ago. I’ve never finished it and I’m ashamed about it.

[Goffe]

3 is the best. fact.

 

5 is very much a franchise movie going through motions. 

 

[MovieMan89]

3 is the most forgettable, in spite of being more competently made than 2. 

[The Futurist]

The two first Mission Impossible were written as they were making them hence "the confusing & complicated" parts of the plot especially the first one.

So the complaint is valid.

First movie makes absolutely no freaking sense whatsoever.

The first Mission Impossible film never felt confusing to me. As a ten year anyway, I understood what was going on.

 

Good franchise in general though, and I've quite enjoyed the recent films. Both Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation were some of the best action films of their respected years.

[AniNate]

Really liked Ghost Protocol, but I felt Rogue Nation was almost trying to be as disposable as a TV episode.

[John Marston]

Rogue Nation is mostly good but the third act is weak

Despite John Woo directing, I think the vast majority consensus would be that MI2 is the worst one. Even @MrPink admitted to that.

Memes aside, it's definitely the worst one.
