I HATE that matt damon is not in this movie. I love all 3 movies he made. LOVE THEM. own them all in DVD/Bluray. but out of those few selected he is the best bet. I hope the movie company gives this the budget it deserves, or else I looking to Hanna. I could go for a female jason bourne also know as JB...

I don't really like this guy. He seems kinda smug and smarmy. Damon was so much better and NOBODY can replace The Cruise Missile in Mission Impossible. These were two of my favorite movie franchises and now they're shit.

MI was great. MI2 and MI3 were a parody of themselves.

MI3 was one of the best and most underrated Summer blockbusters in recent times. Perfect pacing, great action, Cruise at his best, Seymour-Hoffman, great use of a MacGuffin. I must have seen it like 5 or 6 times. It's one of those movies that just doesn't get boring with multiple viewings. Your opinion sucks.Jason's Ultimatum said:

You outta your head. MI was average. MI2 was ridiculously stupid with equally bonkers storyline. MI3 on the other hand was one of the better summer blockbusters out there. It was the best one out of the lot.Jason's Ultimatum said:

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
I'd say objectively MI 1 is probably best, but I like 3 so much.
Anybody who says 2 is even remotely better than either of them, in any respect, does not have an opinion worth hearing.

MI3 was a fun ride while it lasted but it had no story, the characters were forgettable (I thought it was funny that the one scene Maggie Q actually tries to have some character development is interrupted in 3 seconds by Tom Cruise jumping through a window) and the end fight was just horribly anticlimactic.

MI3 can eat shit.
MI 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>MI2 >> MI3
the symbol overload signifies descent in quality. Don't know why everybody was so offended by MI2. It was really fun cheese. Not as good as Woo's Face/Off but it's still pretty entertaining. MI3 had some bright spots, such as PSH and the bridge scene. But eh that's about it. And agreed on it feeling a bit too tv-ish. Much of it would fit in a Nikita or Alias episode.
MI4 has potential to be the best, but I think 1 is quite good so yeah it will be tough. Don't know if I'll stick with the franchise after Cruise leaves though. This just isn't James Bond to me.
Actually I'm pretty sure the MI2 haters wouldn't like Face/Off either
(oh and Zimmer's Injection track in MI2> Inception score)

I'm kinda meh on Jeremy Renner based on the films i've seen him in. I watched The Hurt Locker a couple weeks ago and i wasn't the slightest bit impressed with his performance or the film itself. He doesn't seem to have the screen presence to carry an action series.
I sincerely hope MI4 turns out well. I love me some Brad Bird.
Holy shit, i mean, i vehemently disagree with everything you said, but, whatever, i'm not gonna hold it against you for enjoying the movie. I simply can't wrap my head around this comment, though. If anything, it's an example of how NOT to use a MacGuffin. The "rabbit's foot" is one of the most blatant and awful plot devices i have seen in a film. There was seriously no point to the entire plot of the film and absolutely nothing at stake, except for a bunch of paper thin characters i was praying would die.Heavy said:

Wait, I just realized something while reading this article:
a) I know nothing about Ghost Protocol's story at all, even though it's filming, there's a full cast listing out, and it's coming out at the end of the year.
b) Tom Cruise might finally fucking DIE in this movie! Fuck yeah!
So does anyone know what Ghost Protocol's story is supposed to be?

That whacky Woo...
The score I'll grant since there was nothing particularly special about MI3's, but the scene shows everything that wrong with the movie (Well, that and the car ballet- ugh). 5 minutes to do something that should have taken 10 seconds and would have had greater impact.
The botched rescue mission is much better and that's not even the best scene in MI:3.
Reliving bad memories are making me devalue MI:2 more.

Hollywood: "Come see The Bourne Identity! It's the anti-Mission Impossible!"
*years later*
Hollywood: "Come see Jeremy Renner in a beloved movie franchise and Mission Impossible!"
I would actually agree with you and talk about how horrible Hollywood is these days, but I'm reading a book about film studios in the 30s/40s and frankly, it was so much worse. As much as we ride the Miley Cyrus types who are manufactured by Disney, for example, Disney in Walt's days were just as bad.
For example, Judy Garland was actually part of a "stable" they kept on-set at all times: in the Wizard of Oz section she talks about "playing ball outside of the MGM junior high".
They kept you under contract and could pull you in at any time to any movie. They always checked how you looked, are you getting too old, too fat?, go learn to sing, go learn to dance, go promote this movie at this night club, etc.
Dunno, not defending Hollywood today, just fascinated at how it's actually not changed much.

So he's next years Sam Worthington?
I saw the first half hour of Ratatouille for the first time since it came out recently and GODDAMN, Brad Bird is such an amazing action director. The first kitchen obstacle-course sequence is stunning. If Bird can put that level of visual imagination into live-action work, MI:GP is going to be very special.Solo said:
