Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 I've had enough of megathreads, they'll be the death of this forum, so that's why I'm doing this. So I saw the new one today and it's fair to say it's brilliant. Weirdly, despite the fact that it's possibly as good as Rogue Nation and slightly better than Ghost Protocol, I didn't come out of this one as worried about how they could equal or top this like I did with Rogue Nation because the characterisation work in this is brilliant. It will be overlooked because of the action here, which is rather understandable, but it's incredible that this is simultaneously a great film but has somehow breathed more life into this series. Until I've rewatched it, I can't update the M:I code though (54132) but yeah. It's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 25, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 25, 2018 2 is so universally hated.. I almost feel like I should rewatch it. I saw it at the cinema but remember nothing about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Might actually try and go to the cinema to see it, my gf isn't a that big a fan of the Cruiser though but I sat through some Marvel film or other so it's only fair I use my meerkat thingy on the wonderful man with the middle tooth.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 25, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 @Chest Rockwell - With good reason too. It's not that it's bad so much, just terribly boring. And who thought Dougray Scott would be a good main villain in a blockbuster? @Keith Houchen - Go to the IMAX, you won't regret it, especially for the later scenes.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 2 was the first I saw, also at the cinema. My friend hated it, calling it 'Mission Unrealistic'. The bike battle scene is shocking though. I really liked 3 though, Philip Seymour Hoffman was a very good baddie I thought. Might have to watch the recent ones.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 25, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 3 is good. I think it looks better with each passing film because it was there that they started to focus more on a team rather than on just Cruise. Plus it has that bridge scene, which is still one of the best moments of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 I haven't watched it since, but I remember really liking 3 at the cinema. It's when I fell in love with the franchise. A lot of people are sniffy about it, for some reason. I honestly don't remember much about 2 other than the rock climbing bit and Tom Cruise's hair.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted July 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 It was the first time I saw Thandie Newton and she looked gorgeous in it. Her character was a bit annoying though. If ever my wife is looking for something that's in my coat, I'll say "My jacket pocket. My right jacket pocket" in that Dougray Scott accent.

Paid Members DEF Posted July 25, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 I'm in the minority that never got on with the first one. I've always found it long, dull and slog. All my mates were raving about it too. Two I liked as John Woo fan but there's no denying it's cheesy as hell and very silly. 3 was cracking though. They nailed that trailer because I was proper up for it and it didn't let me down. Sadly since then I've got less and less interested. I'm going to sound like a right berk now but since they stopped numbering them I've struggled to work out if I've seen the last one every time they release one. I like them I just don't car much about them. I'm planning to watch them all with my daughter this summer because she loves spy movies. Only trouble is we will have to skip 2 as it's a 15 and I'm only comfortable with her watching 12's. Hopefully they hype me up enough to get me down the cinema for latest one. Good to know it's a good'en though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGIT Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Right I've only ever seen the first Mission Impossible (which I enjoyed greatly.) I was amazed to find out this new one is the 6th in the series. Anyone want to rank them in order from best to worst? I'd be intrigued to know the better ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 25, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 25, 2018 Devon had done exactly that in the opening post of the thread 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 25, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) I did a code in the opening post, @LEGIT. They're all really good aside from 2. Edited July 25, 2018 by Devon Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go, @LEGIT, although Lea Seydoux is in 4 and therefore it's the best one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I didn't make sense of that and it completely went over my head. But thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
