Mission: Impossible - Fallout first impressions

- Start date
Do any of these movies really carry on from one to another. Aside from Ving Rhames waxing nostalgic, I think i've seen 1,2, ... parts of 3 and 4, and then 5 on a whim
I always liked the mystery thriller of the first the best of what I've seen. The second one seemed like a terrible John Woo James Bond with a limp bizkit theme, and I just never really got back into them as they became more action-y ( i guess I prefer De Palma)
Can i stream 3 and 4 somewhere? Cavill has me onboard from the bathroom fight scene.

Has there ever been a First Impressions thread where the OP hasn't been 100% positive tweets? Genuinely curious, this is at least the sixth I recall seeing here since March
6 is a direct sequel of 5.
4's ending alludes to 5's plot.
He's been married since 3 and that factored into 4 a bit.
It's petty, but having grown up watching reruns of the 60s and 80s show, i hated what the first film did with the James Phelps character. No wonder Peter Graves wanted no part of it.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much better than everyone else did you feel after posting this?
I don't even think it's being petty. The plot literally makes no sense with respect to characterization from the series. This is a man who gave his life to IMF. And what did he decide to sell the team out for? Money? It's nonsense. Come up with a better motivation or use an original character instead.
For me:
1 was great. But it was clear from 1 on that they felt a much different direction was needed.
2 was.... bad.
But then 3 was okay.
But then Ghost happened, and Rogue was great, too.
I haven't seen the film in its entirety since it came out, so i don't remember all the details, but i do remember being all "fuck this film" after that act of character assassination. Since it has been so long, i thought maybe it was just a kneejerk reaction, thanks for the vindication.
I am so fucking hyped for this, the 27th is too far!!!
Goddamn, that was amazing, it's my first time seeing the trailer, makes me want to play uncharted soon badly.

I loved 1 and 3, personally. 2 suuuucked. 4 was not bad. 5 was awesome. I can't wait for Fallout.
What if he's not personally abusive but just covers for other abusive people?
I don't really have an issue separating the art from the artist in this case, but I don't think that means needing to downplay how particularly awful Scientology is to people and how Cruise, as that group's de facto Jesus, is complicit in all of it.
Clearly you guys underestimate the powers of Superman.
It's so interesting to me that people keep saying 3 is just okay. I've been rewatching all of them on 4K over the past couple weeks, and 3 surprised the hell out of me with just how well it holds up. Some really clever action beats that I thought were really well directed, probably the most interesting story of the entire franchise, and obviously the best villain.
I'm really not seeing what makes it a lesser film for people, I was actually blown away.

I thought it was quite an improvement over the first 2. It actually had a cohesive plot.
The trailer was great, so I'm looking forward to seeing it.
I don't think I saw the last one, but I recorded it when it was on TV a couple of weeks ago, and will watch it soon.

My only concern about the bathroom fight is, everything is breaking / coming apart a little TOO easily.
Buddy pulled that pipe off like it was nothing.

You've got my sword. FUCK the first Mission Impossible film. I was absolutely livid with what they did to Jim Phelps character and pissing all over Peter Graves and the original series in the process, honestly it still really fucking grates me even now. I can watch any of the MI films from 2 onwards now and again but I just can't watch the first one again. Maybe a little bit hyperbolic but being a huge fan of the original series and growing up with it , I wasn't best pleased, at all.
Still, new one looks fucking great. I've enjoyed them all since 2 onwards (I especially have a soft place in my heart for 2)
Can you guys talk to the people throwing tantrums about Luke Skywalker still. Because unlike them, y'all actually went through some shit.
He was coming off Justice League and that dude has no problem getting jacked when playing Supes.
