I very much wish that a movie would come along in the same vein as the original MI movie. It is drastically different in tone and execution than any of the following films. I think a proper Tom Clancy Splinter Cell movie could do it. Movies now unnecessarily revolve around a world ending threat. The NOC list in Mi1 was a great motivating force for the characters to be striving to protect or steal. Now Ethan Hunt is constantly trying to save the world. Stakes which should never be left up to one person.
The first movie was more of a spy thriller too. Still my favourite of the series
And that one person cannot be controlled by anyone. I doubt that is something the government would let happen.
Of course not. The govt hates competition.
The M I movies are amazingly well-made action packed star vehicles…that bore me to tears.
I am not shitting on them, just they are not for me. They are successful and have a huge following.
What does the author expect?
“Could you please make your big budget movie franchise more like the low budget, formulaic TV show even though the majority of the M I films fan base have no idea it exists.”
It’s like they come up with the action sequences first and then task the poor writers to make sense of it.
Well… actually…
Pretty sure in a recent making of on YouTube, they mentioned doing that.
Yeah I had no idea the series existed until this past week

It’s funny. In theory they should 100% be something that is a must see in the theater thing. However, they have become to me a “I’ll probably watch this randomly in 7 months on a Friday night” thing.
“Mission Impossible” is really just a title for a series of action movies. It is so far away from the original TV series.
It is however the only thing that tom cruise is doing with his life, other than scientology.
I can’t even be bothered to care about the hype.
It really should be called “Blow Shit Up”.I watch anything with Tom Cruise, I think he is amazing. Always entertaining and a good actor.
The new top gun blew my mind how good it was.
Meh. I, for one, love the MI series. They’re expertly-crafted, across the board well-acted, and just plain fun. I can’t say the same for the F&F movies. I can’t say the same for many action franchises actually. Tom Cruise is batshit crazy but you can’t deny that he’s a singular talent.
Since MI:3 (the point when they finally introduced some more settled and recurring characters - Benji and Julia in that one, followed by Brand in the next, followed by Ilsa) they’ve been consistently the best action movie franchise going. I far prefer MI to Bond or F&F.
“If you made a great one of those, then instead of okay-to-disappointing box-office returns…”
🤔
Looks like it’s doing OK to me, but what do I know, I only watched the first one…

WORLDWIDE - $704,709,660I actually very much enjoyed this most recent MI after not caring at all for the previous entries, so… IDK?
While I thought the movie was good, I think the simplest answer here is the best: They showed too much in the trailers…I aside from some car bits I had no sense watching it that some action scene was unexpected. It lacked surprise.
Yeah trailers these days suck. Instead of creating hype, they literally show the best parts of the movie in the trailers. What’s the point?
