A part of me is sure that egomaniac Tom Cruise didn't like the fact everyone could see Rebecca Ferguson was cooler than him and ensured her character would be crap and cheeply killed off in that one. That whole thing and then the female counterpart being replaced within a couple of scenes by a newcomer was so incredibly poor.
Misson:Impossible - or a brief story of Ving Rhames becoming less and less mobile over 3 decades.
The villain in 2 has the best motive in movie history; he just wants to shag Thandiwe Newton.
Tbh I agree it doesn’t feel like a M:I film but for me that’s why it’s the best one.
So relatable. You end up rooting for him.
Too much is made of the other characters. Ving is the real star
I hear he's playing the Ever Given in a movie about the container ship of the same name.
Very true, the man is pure gold.
Yes. Second viewing confirmed it was a bit shit for me. Like I said above it was exposition heavy even for a MI film, naff baddy, actually no real MI set piece in the middle of the film where they are supposed to do something "impossible" i.e. break into Langley, break into the Vatican to capture an arms dealer without anyone noticing etc...
Nothing has topped the CIA HQ break in from the first film. There's been better action sequences but that's the best "impossible mission bit" still I think.
I think it felt like a reasonable thing they might have had to do too. Wheras some of the newer entries felt a bit convoluted although I did think the Kremlin break in was pretty clever.
Yeah Kremlin break in was great as was the whole Burj Khalifa section in Ghost Protocol.
Still sounds better than MI:2
It’s the initial walking into glass, tries shooting “oh shit it’s bulletproof” and look it’s the whole gang that while not my favourite certainly has the air of satisfaction that a straight up knife fight/gun fight/insert fight doesn’t have.
Genuine question why the hate for MI:2?
All joking aside you know he's itching to go into space and do something mental. Probably try a Felix Baumgarter as a swansong.
Because Scott is around 6ft tall and Cruise is about 4ft tall and nobody notices during the impersonation!
Worst? Not sure but it is melodramatic action rubbish and hugely nonsensical. And a horribly cliqued use of Australia as a prop/greenscreen background.
The next one is called M15510N 1MP05518LE 2.
I hope Ethan is the General in this scenario and there's an overdose.
Which was dumb as it had a huge glass window and you're telling me nobody on the floor noticed all that green smoke?
They never get the dose wrong in these movies either. Someone should die by accident, and the impossible mission is Ethan trying stop to the man's soul from being eaten by aliens in a volcano.
The whole scene felt like a parody of an MI movie.
For me that’s how’s you describe basically every other one except this one. Good throwaway fun. The most recent one had none of that. It was overly convoluted, made basically no sense, had poor villains and even the main stunt they hyped up looked somehow worse in the film.
