Current Events > Just finished watching the first Mission Impossible movie for the first time.

(+) Yeah! (+)

That was pretty enjoyable. Some of it was kind of... out there. and the effects are pretty dated in some regards. The train scene in particular just screamed 90s visual effects <_<

gonna go watch the second one now
---

first one's great

second one, however...
---

idk if I'm in the minority, but the third one is my favorite entry in the series.

I wasn't really a fan until I saw it.
---

The MI game on N64 was pretty fun.
---

finished the second one

this movie was too long. <_<

I wouldn't call it bad but it certainly didn't really impress.

Unless the rest are somehow bad I can certainly see why this is considered the weakest/worst entry
---

I must rewatch the old TV series some day.

Honestly, the only good part about 2 is the John Woo action sequences, like the ridiculous bike-stuff and the random doves everywhere. But after that, they just get better and better with every entry.

I didn't really care for the first two, but I pressed on. The rest of the movies are awesome. Especially the fourth one.
---

Finished the third one.

Felt pretty middle of the road about it.

Didn't much care for the bait and switch with Musgrave and Fishburne's character on who was actually the bad guy. <_<

Action scenes were pretty alright.
---

I only ever watched the first one because I was so confused at what was going on. It was like everyone was a fake and would tear off their mask and I didn't know what the hell was the deal. Maybe I should see it again as an adult. The new one looks awesome.

3rd and 4th are the great films of the series.

1st is okay, 5th is basically the same movie as four, but more meh.

2nd one... is very John Woo.

Finished all of them.

They all felt very... kind of samey.

Bad guy/organization needs to be taken out, Tom Cruise basically left out on his own with his team, Tom Cruise survives thing(s) that should kill him but somehow don't <_<

They're enjoyable action flicks but they're kind of everything I expect out of an action film where the MO is making the impossible happen.
---

First one's twist was a little obvious. Every time Walken told somebody to do something, something bad happened. lol
---

the gimmick is that "tom cruise so cray he does all the stunts by himself without green screen!!"
---

They have some fun action scenes though, like scaling the building in GP and the opera in RN.
