If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I like MI:1. It and M3-6 all fall within the 60-67 range. Super consistent, without ever being brilliant.

    In fact, they are so consistent, you could Frankenstein a single SuperMissionImpossible film from the components of the individual films:

    Best Opening: MI4 prison break
    Best Villain/Plot: MI3
    Best Fight: MI6 bathroom
    Best Mini-Heist: MI4 Kremlin or MI1 Langley or MI3 Kidnapping
    Best Centerpiece Heist: Burj Khalifa
    Best Chase: MI5 Casablanca
    Best Third Act: MI6
    Best Final Scene: MI4

    Though I agree that MI3 had the best "villain" (haven't seen 6 yet), I hate the ambiguous use of the mcguffin to drive the threat. I need a real threat. It's just JJ elbowing the audience over the duration of the run-time which is far more irritating than anything else in the franchise. At least John Woo knew what he was doing making a 90s action movie.

    Plus the mask mistraction is just as bad as Disney's fake out deaths.

    The only thing that's fun about it is the last 10 minute, which hardly makes watching the whole thing worth it.

    I'm curious if Woo's 3 hour cut would've been better. It has some fun scenes, but its just not on the level of the rest of the series.

    I don't recall PSH being so amazing. He wasn't in the picture for long stretches of the movie, I remember that scene where he threatens Ethan and I remember him being rescued on that bridge.

    I may put Jon Voight ahead of him and possibly even Dougray Scott, but I'm probably pushing it with that last one.

    Best one in the series. Also:

    Fallout
    Ghost Protocol
    Rogue Nation
    Mission: Impossible
    M:I 3
    MI: 2

    I have seen 2, 3, 5 and 6 in theaters. I like all of them, although 2 is beyond cheesy and 3 tries way too hard.

    First MI I've liked in a while- which is interesting because I thought Rogue Nation was the weakest story in the franchise (and this movie is a direct sequel to that movie, which I didn't know going in), and I've complained about how tired the rouge / mole agent story has been in previous installments. Even though the intro scene was super predictable, as was the mask scene later in the movie, trying to decode the stances of the terrorists, MI6, IMF, and the CIA was a somehow an interesting dynamic.

    This movie now has the best fight scene in the franchise (bathroom), the best car chase in the franchise (motorcycle to car) and the best humanitarian piece (ex-wife reintroduced). It's the first time the stakes felt real, even though the threat was just another nuclear device. The scene on the street with the French female cop was excellent.

    Ended up watching this on a plane from Dublin to Chicago (along with Jurassic World: Sequel and The Predator), and this was transparently the best of the batch. The double cross was stupidly revealed during trailers, but the film held decent tension despite this, and the cast delivers their material gamely. Some of the ol' "how are we gonna escape from this scenario?" actually worked, which was a warm welcome for me (who's on contemporary action film fatigue).

    I was left with only two complaints.

    1) The fact that the one helicopter has a cargo shipment seems --unless my memory failed me -- to only exist to allow Cruise to grab onto it and start his ascent.
    2) Must every woman in the film kiss Cruise to establish his masculinity?

    Otherwise, a welcome and quality film.

    This movie is better the more I think about it and clearly shouldn't be stuck in fourth place. This flick just about matches Ghost Protocol. This movie is fucking delightful.
