This is the first movie I saw Phillip Seymour Hoffman in, where I noticed him and needed to find out the name of this actor. He was so intense, terrifying, noticeable, unforgettable and impressive.
It's fascinating in hindsight storyline wise that he's basically retired to a teaching role within the IMF, only to come out of it and go on crazier and crazier missions since. Also this was technically 17 yrs ago, holy crap
This movie didn't even do that well. The 6 year gap since M:I-2 and Tom Cruise's public antics at the time(couch jumping, Scientology, contentious interview with Matt Lauer) hurt the box office. I was surprised when they did a 4th one with almost another 6 year gap and Cruise pushing 50, but that wound being a great decision given how successful Ghost Protocol turned out.
When a reporter was talking to Simon Pegg about the success of Shaun of the Dead he said "it's not like I'm going to be in the next Mission Impossible film" and he was
This is my favorite, because it is so personal for Ethan. The villain is great, the action is crazy, but still feels grounded. So many twists, the pacing is high and perfect. Love your reaction to it.
Phillp Seymour Hoffman was an outstanding actor. He has such range from lovable to loathable to terrifying. I highly recommend Capote as a film of his that shows his skill.
Abrams loves to start stories in media res, then do the "XX Hours Earlier" title card. That was how half the episodes of ALIAS started. In fact, ALIAS is how Abrams got the M:I gig. Cruise saw several episodes of the show and said, "This guy would be perfect for the next film." And Abrams was perfect for it. He set the basic style and tone for the rest of the franchise. He doesn't get enough credit for that.
Lawrence Fishburne is one of the only actors who can convincingly deliver a line like "I shit you not, I will bleed on the flag to make sure the stripes stay red."
17:05 this BRIDGE scene takes place in my city of Virginia Beach, about 15 minutes from where I live. It's the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, which is an underwater tunnel system in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, which is actually a 15 mile bridge with four separate underwater tunnels. The tunnels only take up about 5 of the 15 miles. We see memes about people saying they would never drive through it, but they don't know we have two more bridge tunnels EVERYONE has to go through every day as we are a HUGE military area with Navy(my dad), Air Force, etc.. When we saw this we laughed, because some shots were filmed on the bridge, but we could easily tell when it was not the actual thing. Especially the fake license plates.
Isn’t this the same bridge used in True Lies and Licence to Kill? That was always my understanding- and that movies mostly use an old disused bridge beside a rebuilt one.
Abrams *is* the lens flare guy, BTW. Also, he did both direct and produce the first Chris Pine Star Trek movie, in addition to Into Darkness, as well as the first and third of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. He is also actually the *creator* of "Alias," as well as an earlier show starring Keri Russell (Agent Farris) called "Felicity." Hoffman is actually reuniting with Cruise here, with the two of them having made the all-time great drama magnolia in 1999, which coincidentally (since George mentioned it) is by Paul Thomas Anderson, director of Boogie Nights. Can't wait for you guys to progress through 4-7 -- the movies after this are all varying degrees of great. In a pretty low-key way, this also kicks off the tradition of Tom Cruise doing major stunts in these. In this case, I believe you're correct that he did the Shanghai building jump for real, and that then the cuts are greenscreen. It does become much more obvious in the subsequent movies what he did for real, though.
I love your movies reacts! I especially enjoy when, on screen, someone is speaking a Chinese dialect, and George is able to provide the translation! Bother when there are captions, and we learn if they're accurate, and also when no, and we would otherwise never know what the random Chinese guard on the rooftop was yelling as baseballs came flying in from out of nowhere!
Great script, yes, but JJ Abrams direction feels way too frenetic and jarring at times, like he is trying way too hard to keep an audiences attention. (Shaky cam, quick cut edits throughout every action scene) Maybe it was his intention to make the audience feel anxiety throughout, but I much preferred the calm, cool and collected yet fun nature of the 2nd movie more.
@@handsomeDRACInteresting. This is precisely why this is my favorite. The pacing and energy is so different from the the rest of the series. To each his own though.
I was just thinking that when they mentioned that in this vid. I was like.. well we gotta get them to react to that movie. Pretty good Bruce Willis film honestly. One of the better films too when he's not the Protagonist of the film.
Seymour-Hoffman is SO good in this role. He plays a great evil person. And this film really amped up the action and overall darker, more serious tone of the films. They really get incredible here on out.
What I like are the little touches a attention to details here and there that totally sell their real life training. At 6:04 when Ethan tosses Lindsay a weapon and she starts shooting - watch her eyes. It is INSANELY difficult to *not blink* when firing a weapon. It's instinctive - everyone does it automatically - and it takes a LOT of concentration and training to stop yourself from doing it. The fact that they made the effort to address that... *chef's kiss*
In "Along Came the Spider", one of the leads (playing FBI) surprised her weapon's instructor because she would not blink when firing her weapon. They told her is really rare and hard to do. Mel Gibson is Lethal Weapon blinks like crazy for a sniper.
I went to this movie thinking "I'll do this all backwards -- I'll hate on Cruise and root for Hoffman." NOPE. Hoffman refused to let that happened, he made me hate him so much. That is acting. Oh, I do miss him.
Probably the darkest entry in the MI-series, with a downright terrifying opening. This movie isn't my personal favorite of the series (Rogue Nation is) but this one gave us a much more personal story for Ethan, some brutal action, and of course! Simon Pegg who is a DELIGHT and I can't wait for you to see the later movies where he has a much bigger part!
You two should watch "The Heartbreak Kid". A very funny comedy that stars Ben Stiller. Michelle Monaghan, Ethans wife is in it also. You would have a real fun time with that one if both or either one of you have never seen it. Didn't everyone tell you guys that the franchise hets way better after the second one, and they keep getting better. Benji became a regular part of the team starting here.
Yeah, for me the series really kicks into gear and finds its tone starting with Part 4. Chris McQuarrie was the perfect choice to take the franchise over.
You guys are in for an interesting ride if you continue along the MI journey. Cruise is notorious for doing his own stunts, well, in one of the coming MI films, Cruise broke his ankle during a stunt, it is the take that they used for the film and he can be seen limping away. Keep that in mind and see if you can spot it.
Glad you guys got to this one. For me, I’ve seen every movie in this series when they came out. Didn’t like the first two and never rewatched them but from part 3 to the newest one, I’ve really liked them and have seen them multiple times.
You should love the next ones. I strongly suggest watching a few select episodes of the original series as well. It's more intrigue than action but it is, in my humble opinion, one of the best TV series ever made.
After MI:2 wasn’t that well received, this is the movie that set the tone for the series moving forward. The franchise just get better with each movie from this one on.
Rugpulls... Try "Law Abiding Citizen" starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler or "The Game" starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn! Love the Mission Impossible series! Great reaction!
I highly recommend the 1995 noir erotic thriller JADE, Directed by William Friedkin,1937-2023, David Caruso (CSI: Miami) plays an assistant DA trying to solve the brutal murder of a wealthy art dealer, plunging him into a world of sex, crime, blackmail and corruption, where he learns the dark secrets of his friends and colleagues. Chazz Palminteri ( The Usual Suspects), Linda Fiorentino ( MIB, Dogma), Michael Biehn (The Terminator, ALIENS, The Abyss) Angie Everhart, and Richard Crenna (RAMBO Trilogy) star in this murder mystery with a shocking twist ending you will not see coming.
And this is where things just keep getting better and better!!😁Philip seymor Hoffman is easily one of the scariest villians in the series awesome reaction guys.😊I can't wait for the next Mission impossible reaction my favourite.😋
They casually throw Simon Pegg in this movie..... aaaaand he stuck with the rest of MI movies. Whoever had the idea to put Simon Pegg in MI movies is genius
Funny how you mention a similarity to "Winter Soldier" before the elevator scene and the disguise scene ... (both of which are also in "Winter Soldier").
Hospitals, at least in the US, always have chapels. They're generally meant to be quiet places, like a library, and so they're a room where you an go and grieve/pray. A friend of mine got married in a hospital chapel, because she was supposed to be getting married and two weeks before her wedding, it was found out her mother had cancer and she was going to pass away. Two days before she passed, my friend and her fiance got married there, so that her mother could be present.
The bridge at 17:00 is indeed the same one as in True Lies. It's a section of the old bridge to the Florida Keys. When they built the new one (which I think you see in the background) they kept large sections of the old one intact. I'm not sure if they use it for emergencies, but they certainly do let film makers do their thing with it (no doubt for a significant fee).
M:I3 was a game changer for the series and I love it to this day. What is the most beautiful however, that from this point the franchise is only getting better and better - fantastic job of Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie 👍🏻
Now we're cooking with gas! Prepare to embark on a crazy journey with the rest of these films because they're all like this, with the stakes getting crazier and crazier. J.J. Abrams is the "lens flare guy". Michael Bay is the "explosions guy".
At this point a major goal of the series was to have each one directed by a different well known director with a strong style. So the tone will vary a lot from movie to movie.
This is problably the best JJ Abrahams movie. Believe or not, but the next movie in the series was even more tense. and have a amazing ending sequence. Also directed by Brad Bird, from the incredibles.
J.J. Abrams, coming off of 5 years show running the Jennifer Garner series Alias, he was absolutely the best choice of director. Alias being just about as close to an Mission: Impossible TV show, since that time Mission: Impossible actually was just a TV show.
I know I'm not a patron, but, I do have a movie recommendation for you guys. BTW, I am a HUGE FAN and watch most of your vids. You are my favorite reviewers because you are smart enough to "get" what you're watching. Anyway, please check out the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Johnny Depp is amazing and it's based on a "true" story. Love to see what you think, thanks.
Love this Impossible Mission. Another great movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman (and Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts and others) is Charlie Wilson's War (2007). Cheers!
I'm from Rome and happen to live very close to the vatican wall DHL scene they shot. Happens every, damn, day. And just like you've seen it. Mark Hamill once said "I'd do the trench run 3 more times but no way I'm driving in Rome." I know Mark, I know... Yeah I'm not super sure about the inside walls of the Vatican City itself, but looks pretty accurate to me. The Vatican museum is the real thing for sure. The only mistake is the line to enter that museum coils 3 times around the entire walls! They certainly had restrictions to some degree, but... money.
I loved 3. It’s one of my favorite films of the series. I don’t know if it’s the best in the series because, seriously, they only get better from here, but I always feel like it’s the turning point of Mission Impossible’s streak of making bolder, more exciting, and more tense films from here on out. The stunts get better, the action scenes get more creative, and the stories just start getting even more multi-layered and intense. By comparison, 3 feels more personal and smaller scale and that’s what I like about it. It’s like the relative calm before the bigass storm.
Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Maggie Q, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Simon Pegg and Laurence Fishburne and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman (R.I.P) did a fantastic job is this movie, what am i saying they always do great in everything
Simone I'm pretty sure you just described Karl Pilkington's film idea about killing off Tom Cruise and having someone else play him 😂😂😂
Рік тому
JJ Abrams is the one guy using the same formula to Star Trek and to Star Wars several years later, destroying the second just because of that. What a pity. But it happened to save M:I movies, so great. This is the first of the languaje that will become M:I movies.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was incredible. Rest in peace.
This is the first movie I saw Phillip Seymour Hoffman in, where I noticed him and needed to find out the name of this actor. He was so intense, terrifying, noticeable, unforgettable and impressive.
Watch him in Charlie Wilson's War. He's utterly hilarious and pretty much steals the whole movie
Then you realize he's Dusty in Twister and is completely difficult in this movie.
I first saw him in twister and then more memorably boogie nights. Rip Hoffman.
The Big Lebowski was the first time I saw him. Almost Famous was where I realized what a great talent he was. RIP
Along came Polly he plays a comedic role and is surprisely funny even though the movie was kind of a mid Ben Stiller movie
It's fascinating in hindsight storyline wise that he's basically retired to a teaching role within the IMF, only to come out of it and go on crazier and crazier missions since.
Also this was technically 17 yrs ago, holy crap

From this movie on, the movies just keep getting better.
Yep. Only weird people with no taste disagree.
This is my favorite, because it is so personal for Ethan. The villain is great, the action is crazy, but still feels grounded. So many twists, the pacing is high and perfect. Love your reaction to it.

I swear I thought that exact thing watching this lol. Maybe Michael Ironside could too, but other than them.
Toss in Denzel and Ed Harris and I think the list is nearly complete.
I love how the MI movies get better and better and better

Isn’t this the same bridge used in True Lies and Licence to Kill? That was always my understanding- and that movies mostly use an old disused bridge beside a rebuilt one.
The bridge was the Seven Milr bridge in Florida. It connects Miami to Key West, 42 bridges in total into the Gulf of Mexico. 166 miles.
Many would say this is the best villain of this series
No competition really.
@@TheDemonicPenguin Honestly there's no competition... Good villain in the 4th and 6th but PSH is just the GOAT
Fo sho
yupp, he was just having fun ;)
Yes Goat Phillip Seymour Hoffman

“This is my nightmare” 😂
I can’t wait for you guys to watch Ghost Protocol.

Bother when there are captions, and we learn if they're accurate, and also when no, and we would otherwise never know what the random Chinese guard on the rooftop was yelling as baseballs came flying in from out of nowhere!
MI:3 is a good one, enjoyed this reaction. Very excited for 4-6, which settle into a consistent tone with perfectly dialed-in formula. Can't wait!
No joke 3 is my favorite of the franchise. I was kind of sad that they didn’t continue with this sort of tone for the rest of them.
I loved Simone's emotional reactions and George's clinical reactions, to this incredible third Mission Impossible movie. :)
RIP Philip Seymore Hoffman. Such incredible talent. A true loss for the world. 😥
M:I3 is where the journey begins! Loved that Abrams course-corrected the franchise and set it on this direction. Just wait for M:I - Fallout!!!!
Ghost prototcol is one of my favs - so excited and glad u guys are continuing with the mission impossible franchise 🙌
This is my favorite of the series. It really is a brilliantly crafted script. I love everything about this one, and I'm glad you liked it.

RIP, Philip Seymour Hoffman, 1967-2014.
American Made: I'm not a big Tom Cruise fan but he was great in that unbelievable true story.
This is the Mission Impossible that brought the franchise back from the dead. It’s honestly shocking how long it took to make a 4th one
Seymour-Hoffman is SO good in this role. He plays a great evil person. And this film really amped up the action and overall darker, more serious tone of the films. They really get incredible here on out.
Worst film in the series.
@@Brian-qn7fn That's quite a take, given the goofiness of MI:2.
I love 3 but the series gets better. So glad you're watching the series

26:57 This is one of my favorite shots in the movie and Simone and George's reactions to it were well worth the wait. Simone so rarely curses
I like the 4th and 5th movies better, but this installment has the best villain of the entire series by far, in terms of character and portrayal.
The start of the movie is one of the best of the series. Can’t wait for the next reactions in the series!!
Yeah, for me the series really kicks into gear and finds its tone starting with Part 4. Chris McQuarrie was the perfect choice to take the franchise over.
18:26 there are two types of movie watchers:
1: 😱
2: "Why'd he fly sideways?"
Scarlett Johansson and Kenneth Branagh were actually attached to the third on but when the director changed to JJ Abrams he changed some stuff around
You guys are in for an interesting ride if you continue along the MI journey. Cruise is notorious for doing his own stunts, well, in one of the coming MI films, Cruise broke his ankle during a stunt, it is the take that they used for the film and he can be seen limping away.

You should love the next ones.
I strongly suggest watching a few select episodes of the original series as well. It's more intrigue than action but it is, in my humble opinion, one of the best TV series ever made.
After MI:2 wasn’t that well received, this is the movie that set the tone for the series moving forward. The franchise just get better with each movie from this one on.
In my opinion, _this_ is when this franchise became worth watching. If I recommend the MI films, I usually recommend starting at MI3.
My favorite reaction of Mission: Impossible 3, glad you guys loved it so much!!!
Rugpulls... Try "Law Abiding Citizen" starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler or "The Game" starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn!
Love the Mission Impossible series! Great reaction!
Still my favorite installment in the franchise. Great reaction!
The "Like and Subscribe" from Simone sounded so sad I wanted to open my wallet to make a donation to the Simone Charity Fund or something. :)
I highly recommend the 1995 noir erotic thriller JADE, Directed by William Friedkin,1937-2023, David Caruso (CSI: Miami) plays an assistant DA trying to solve the brutal murder of a wealthy art dealer, plunging him into a world of sex, crime, blackmail and corruption, where he learns the dark secrets of his friends and colleagues.
Chazz Palminteri ( The Usual Suspects), Linda Fiorentino ( MIB, Dogma), Michael Biehn (The Terminator, ALIENS, The Abyss) Angie Everhart, and Richard Crenna (RAMBO Trilogy) star in this murder mystery with a shocking twist ending you will not see coming.

They casually throw Simon Pegg in this movie..... aaaaand he stuck with the rest of MI movies.
Whoever had the idea to put Simon Pegg in MI movies is genius
My thoughts on the thumbnail:
Why are they butt fudging?
Why is she both faces?
OHHHH! its the bathroom scene!
😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
Funny how you mention a similarity to "Winter Soldier" before the elevator scene and the disguise scene ... (both of which are also in "Winter Soldier").
Tony Scott was the “flair guy”. In particular, the movies Man on Fire and Domino. RIP Tony.
Hospitals, at least in the US, always have chapels. They're generally meant to be quiet places, like a library, and so they're a room where you an go and grieve/pray. A friend of mine got married in a hospital chapel, because she was supposed to be getting married and two weeks before her wedding, it was found out her mother had cancer and she was going to pass away. Two days before she passed, my friend and her fiance got married there, so that her mother could be present.
sheep are actually used to graze the grass around wind and solar farms for lawncare.
I think you'll enjoy how Benji's (Simon Pegg) character develops over the coming MI films.
The bridge at 17:00 is indeed the same one as in True Lies. It's a section of the old bridge to the Florida Keys.

Ah! if you'd quickly watch *"Face Off"* starring Cage and Travolta
M:I3 was a game changer for the series and I love it to this day. What is the most beautiful however, that from this point the franchise is only getting better and better - fantastic job of Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie 👍🏻
Now we're cooking with gas! Prepare to embark on a crazy journey with the rest of these films because they're all like this, with the stakes getting crazier and crazier.
J.J. Abrams is the "lens flare guy". Michael Bay is the "explosions guy".
The "Vatican" was shot in a palace about 20mls outside of Rome. The same one, the Naboo palace in Star Wars was shot.
25:37 that's karl pilkington film idea lol
If you guys enjoyed this then you might like Ronin,starring Robert De Niro.
At this point a major goal of the series was to have each one directed by a different well known director with a strong style. So the tone will vary a lot from movie to movie.
The biggest problem with this movie is that Ghost Protocol was the next one to come out. As a result, this one kind of gets lost in the weeds for me.
Oh man, the next one is the beginning of the GOLDEN ERA of Mission Impossible.
GHOST PROTOCOL!!!!
Took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out why there are two Simone's in the thumbnail.
This is where the franchise reboots itself into its default mode.
18:28 - he flew sideways cause Tom Cruise lives at 90 degrees to reality.
GEORGE I want that mug!!! Where'd you get it??
The next two at least are great. Also I hope you've seen Oblivion. A freaking great sci-fi with Tom.
This is problably the best JJ Abrahams movie. Believe or not, but the next movie in the series was even more tense. and have a amazing ending sequence. Also directed by Brad Bird, from the incredibles.
The positioning in the thumbnail looks dubious 😂
From 3 on, it's arguably the greatest franchise in movie history.
This is where the M:I 'cinematic universe' began. Everything after this is a direct continuity.
Man, I can’t wait till Friday.
I love that Simone appreciates "a little dangle", lol. Ok, I see myself out.
Saying this reminds me of winter soldier ,2 mins before an elevator fight was kinda poetic
Phobia of wolves? Time to watch the grey hehe
J.J. Abrams, coming off of 5 years show running the Jennifer Garner series Alias, he was absolutely the best choice of director. Alias being just about as close to an Mission: Impossible TV show, since that time Mission: Impossible actually was just a TV show.
Ah, Alias, I miss you. Only the overarching 'device' plot was annoying, everything else was awesome, especially Jen. Huge crush on her then and now.
@@theaikidoka I loved how JJ stayed faithful to the Red Balls! IYKYK.
I've never seen 2 people, so happy to see Tom Cruise's little dangle! Great reaction as always
One of my favorites of the series. They are ALL good from here on out and in fact, they keep getting better as you go.
You should do the trivia part in all your videos
1 & 3 are my favorite. 3 is GOLD
I know I'm not a patron, but, I do have a movie recommendation for you guys. BTW, I am a HUGE FAN and watch most of your vids. You are my favorite reviewers because you are smart enough to "get" what you're watching. Anyway, please check out the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Johnny Depp is amazing and it's based on a "true" story. Love to see what you think, thanks.

JJ is the "Mystery Box" guy😂
Love this Impossible Mission. Another great movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman (and Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts and others) is Charlie Wilson's War (2007). Cheers!
I'm from Rome and happen to live very close to the vatican wall DHL scene they shot. Happens every, damn, day. And just like you've seen it. Mark Hamill once said "I'd do the trench run 3 more times but no way I'm driving in Rome." I know Mark, I know...
Yeah I'm not super sure about the inside walls of the Vatican City itself, but looks pretty accurate to me. The Vatican museum is the real thing for sure. The only mistake is the line to enter that museum coils 3 times around the entire walls! They certainly had restrictions to some degree, but... money.
I loved 3. It’s one of my favorite films of the series. I don’t know if it’s the best in the series because, seriously, they only get better from here, but I always feel like it’s the turning point of Mission Impossible’s streak of making bolder, more exciting, and more tense films from here on out.

Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Maggie Q, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Simon Pegg and Laurence Fishburne and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman (R.I.P) did a fantastic job is this movie, what am i saying they always do great in everything
