Support the channel: / rossp . With the release of Mission: Impossible - Fallout, I wanted to dive into why this just might be the best action franchise out there.

I am a full time video editor who has worked in the past as a director and editor on a number of small films, and have experience on films of all sizes. Over the years I have been lucky to meet and spend time with industry veterans and up and comers alike, and have learnt a lot about action filmmaking. Here you can learn with me more about action cinema. - Фільми й анімація
Jeremy Renner was great in Mission Impossible. He would have done Fallout if it weren't for his large role in Avengers 4. He is no replacement for Cruise, but he is a great supporting character.
Don't think of Renner as a replacement, think of him as the wakeup call. He's the reminder that everyone is replaceable. :-) MATT DAAAMOOONNN
Which I think is a little unfair on poor Jeremy, I think he could make an excellent action lead but hes always supporting everyone. Somehow, even in the films he leads in like the Bourne film, he feels like he's supporting for someone who isn't in the film.
I was just going to comment about poor Jeremy Renner. Seems he will forever be the bridesmaid.
Agree with all of you. But somehow I still see hope because when given roles of confident experts like in Hurt Locker or Wind River, Renner is laudably convincing.
His frowny look is a definite movie-career killer.
Taron already got his own action franchise in kingsman
Ghost Protocol works so well because it's basically Set-Piece: The Movie. One set-piece after another after another, with only just enough plot tying them together. It works, and it's one of the most fun movies I've ever watched.
A set-piece shouldn't work. But the set-pieces in Ghost Protocol are great. People keep talking about the Burj Khalifa scene.
Ghost Protocol really took the series to the next level. One of the best action movies of all time.
racewiththefalcons1 Haha! Love that title! Very true, but like you, I love it. I really felt it worked. The only MI movie that didn't work for me was 2.
Even the scenes that aren't set pieces are set pieces
Thats like the last 3 MI films
I highly disagree with your statement of M:I 3 not having anything memorable. It has one of the best villains, and highest personal stakes for Ethan. RIP Hoffman, damn he was terrific in that film, as in most of his filmography.
In terms of memorable action, you pretty much have the bridge sequence and Ethan running.
I have to agree with You. Hoffmans villain, is the only one i actually believe would kill Ethan/Tom.
The bridge scene has one of the most tense-action i've seen.
Henry Ambrose the Vatican infiltration? The Warehouse scene min the beginning?
I probably should have mentioned PSH more, as yes he was terrifying and by far the best villain. My issue was that the film just really went so dark at times (which is not always a bad thing), that returning to it just isn't as fun. I wouldn't be against them going that way again, maybe it just would work better after a more solid entry.
I actually love MI:3. The warehouse scene in the beginning is fantastic because it shows a plan that is almost perfectly executed, the Vatican scene shows amazing infiltration, and the ending removes all the big stakes and makes it very personal and intense. One of, if not my absolute, favorite.
Adelaide McMillan I don't know
MI:3 used to be my favourite before I saw Fallout which is now my No.1 of the series. I just loved the intensity of 3 and the awesome action scenes. It was also probably my favourite for spy planning and gadgets. It was definitely the darkest in tone and content but I think this made it the most personal too.
MI3 has one of the alltime great cruise runs👌 that tracking shot when hes on phone is bout 1 min of the cruise run. Ghost protocol had the 2nd best cruise run the epic sandstorm T.C run. Then we have fallout which has the best T.C run and the best T.C runnin shot that ends with the broken ankle. My point IS the 3 best mission film ghost pro MI3 and fallout ALL have the 3 best cruise runs. Co incidence i think not....
@@sumstuff6956 YES! Can I just say TC is the best actor when it comes to running? You can’t help but feeling the despair and rooting for our hero!
Yes! I think it’s such an underrated film.
I think what makes mission impossible so good is cruises conviction and dedication as well as fun characters.
Indeed! :)
We just need Cruise to keep doing these insane stunts, otherwise, he tries to go up a level Scientology.
It's absolutely crazy to me to think of how each new _M:I_ movie gets better than the last. And also, McQuarrie on "No Shaky Cam", *THANK YOU, SIR!*
Mmmmmm....yeah.
Airin Cristico Fuck off just pay for the dvd or a virtual version (Google play)
Vicente Ortega Rubilar best movie of 2018
Covering action franchises is a good idea. The Police Story series definitely deserves it.
Damn, the editing in this video is so good. All the clips flow into each other. Amazing.
Thanks for noticing
I just noticed that!!! Good shit!
Was your main goal to cut on motion/smash cut to similar composition? I'm really just curious as to what you have in your head when you're editing? :)
Douglas Wallace I aim to have a certain flow between shots and scenes, through the use of editing techniques. I believe video essays should be edited well, and yet most aren't. You wouldn't read a poorly written essay.
Thanks for answering :) and I agree, the same goes for audio quality, which a lot of video essays lack!
Definitely one of my favorite franchise. To be honest, I think MI:3 is my favorite; that movie was super intense! That's where the series really found it's footing; 4 and 5 are excellent as well! I'm so excited for Fallout!
0:36 that was a SMOOOOTH cut
I do what I can
What about the one on 4:59?
darko99x 👌
You edditta so-a good you slice the film-a like a da pizza pie
Airin Cristico are you sponsored, bruh?
The first is well directed and has great characters but has a very inconsistent story. The second is messy in all regards and the only good thing about it is its unique style and crazy action which even then takes away from the tone of the other movies completely. Changing Tom Cruises character into James Bond instead. The third is well directed and paced but has no personality and therefor becomes forgettable. But gives us back the character we grew to love. Then the 4th came in and took everything the others had in their favor and boosted it. The firsts great characters it took and boosted, the seconds crazy action and stunts it took and boosted, the thirds fast pace and large setpieces it took and boosted. Lacking only a well written villain. The 5th came in and did the same as the 4th but this time with a good villain. You can argue wether or not its better. I find the 4th to be more its own movie than the 5th. But the 6th took everything from every movie and used its full potential. Bringing the best action and smoothest pace and directing the movies have had yet. Along with great characters and pretty good writing. John Wick might be the best action trilogy so far. But it needs to do damn well to beat Mission Impossible after Fallout
Did you really just say that the first Mission Impossible isn't a classic?...
DiamondDead Yup. He also said the third isn't memorable...
Me thinks Rossatron's ego has slowly taken over this channel.
I don't think it ever was a classic
Yeah. I don't think it is. There's as many people in the comments here saying it isn't that great or has aged poorly as there are defending it. I'm in the middle, it's fine entertainment, but not much more for me.
Isn't a channel built around me giving my opinion on films inherently egotistical? The third doesn't do it for me, it does for you. That's fine. You're complaining about not me being fair to something I literally call the best action film franchise. I'm talking about 3 relative to the others, that doesn't mean it isn't effective, just not memorable for me.
DiamondDead The first film for me was just an above average action thriller that took away what made the Mission Impossible TV series stand out from other espionage franchises like James Bond, the team aspect, true he had a team but the first were killed off and the second were either traitors or second fiddle while Ethan Hunt stole the spotlight and turning the tv show's major character Jim Phelps into a traitor felt like a slap in the face to fans of the original TV series and would feel like if someone turned a member of the original Star Trek cast evil just to push a new character. So yeah, I don't particularly care for the first the first film.
No way, I literally asked for this last week, my wish has come true
I did it just for you
Thank you, I'm gonna cry
Mission Impossible 3 is my favorite. The bridge attack is one of my favorite action sequences ever, Phillip Seymour Hoffman is the franchise's best villain., and the more personal story for Ethan really raises the stakes in my opinion. I adore it.
That being said, 4 and 5 are also stellar entries.
Dude Mission Impossible 3 is amazing!
It sure is
Best action franchise without a doubt is Toy Story, the RC car in the first, the conveyer belt/air strip chase in the second, the attack of the children at daycare and another conveyer belt scene in the 3rd. All short stints of action but unrivaled
Yeah, I went with Ip Man as my pick, but I strongly considered Toy Story. One of the most solid series out there because the creators didn't decide to make another one until they were certain it needed to be made.
T.R. Salsman
Try the third one then, it was a complete retread of the second. Was toy story 3 good? Sure it was fine, but was it needed or all that interesting? No, not really.
I strongly disagree. Each one follows a different part in our relationship with toys, and Toy Story Three explores the final chapter, where we really do move beyond our toys but we still love them and understand that that's something to share with the next generation. None of the films felt unnecessary to me.
T.R. Salsman Toy story already did the moving on thing with the main bad guy, it also had similar flashbacks of toys being left behind by previous owners. Toy story 3 just repeated all of it in a more obvious way. I don’t think the 3rd was bad or unnecessary to a certain extent it just was a retread.
Lmao this must be a shitpost
M:I 3 is my favorite of the series (so far). The personal stakes really help making Ethan feel like a real person. Someone I actually care about. The villain is great and there are some awesome, tense action scenes. I don’t like the shaky cam and unnecessary zooms, but the story and characters helps me look past that.
The Raid is also a good franchise if Gareth Evans ever made a third film
+Wei Shen
That's what I was thinking! They definitely need another strong entry to solidify it among the all-time greats, though.
Unfortunately, they hardly have enough money to make such films. Since they are from other countries, they make less money than Hollywood movies.
Wei Shen Fortunately Gareth Evans is making one that's set to release after 2019
Yeah but i kinda like to put these kind of martial art genre and high adrenalin action with gun in different box...
I think in that genre John Wick > MI ... in Martial art style action defo Raid
it is so consistence,
we have scene of cruise running very fast in each movie
I was one of the many who didn't really like MI2, but I have enjoyed every other entry in the series and look forward to seeing Fallout.
As usual Rossatron, this was great commentary on one of my favorite action franchises. Films that are sparse on plot and heavy on action are usually denigrated by film critics as "low brow". However, the level effort put into the action sequences of the Mission Possible franchise elevate to a high art form , even if it is devoid of an in depth plot or the character development that the more artsy film buffs look for. I have a feeling that history will look back on Tom Cruise's action work in Mission Impossible the way art historians view Michelangelo
Haven't seen Fallout yet and didn't have much expectations for it but after hearing it's the most critically acclaimed of the series, I'm suddenly a hundred times more excited to check it out. Ghost Protocol is so far my favorite of all the MI movies and actually got me interested in the franchise. Rogue Nation was good but sort of underwhelming in comparison. If Fallout can surpass Ghost Protocol then this might be the most surprisingly entertaining film I've seen this year. (besides Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, who saw that one coming?)
I watched it, and I really liked it. The tension is always there. They even crack inside jokes of doing things at the last minute.
I agree with everything you jsut said, so I have you seen it yet, is it really better than mi4?
I actually found Fallout extremely underwhelming. There really isn't any tension at all in the finale. The tried way too hard by making everything laughably close. And then there's some redundant plot twists that you really can't have been surprised by if you ever saw a film (pretty much the same kind of plot twist as in Rogue Nation). The first two acts were great and on par with Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation, but the third act ruined my overall impression of the script and thus the movie. Some stuff from the movie could've just as well been M:I 2 with better effects. I have no idea why anyone would claim this film is better than Ghost Protocol or Rogue Nation (which I loved). Also there was no spy tech at all, which I found to be one of the things making the series as fun as it is.
Coolbillion good points though I actually enjoyed it quite a bit
@@Coolbillion mi fallout is a masterpiece
The first Mission Impossible is one of the best action spy thrillers ever. Truly creative and classy. Probably the most clever entry, that doesn't let the great action overpower the suspense.
MI2. Ugh. Just stupid John Woo slo-mo doves and a dud of a relationship for Ethan.
MI3 had a brutally cold Philip Seymore Hoffman. My favorite villain of the series.
And the rest are really good.
To defend Mi2, people seem to forget the epic injection scene with Hans Zimmer's theme, the swallows scene, the intro from the cleef in Grand Canyon, etc. It might be the weakiest of the franchise but still better than the best Fast and Furious or whatever shitty movie you'll come up with. I cant believe the narrator mentioned Pirates of Carribean in the same sentence as the Mission Impossible franchise. That should be a crime on UA-cam.
I highly agree. Mission Impossible 1 is by far the most underrated movie in the franchise, and for sure, the best in the franchise
Wait I never thought of renner as a replacement, not even renner would have thought of himself as a replacement. There is just no one to replace Tom Cruise. I wouldn't watch it with anybody else. For me, tom IS the MI franchise. Brandt is an important character, one who cleans the mess, and is equally important, but when it comes to accomplishing the impossible, hunt is the go to guy.
Saying that the first film is not a classic is honestly objectively incorrect if you just look at the way it's generally regarded. Is it considered a classic because of its quality? No, but it is considered a classic because it has one of the most memorable scenes in cinema history and it's the one that started it all.
Honestly, I would say M:I 2 is the weakest for me. I mostly just remember it for the bike chase at the end. It doesn't have a 'break into the place to steal the thing' set-piece anywhere near as memorable or tense as anything else in the series, and as you said already, the villain is not that great either. But man, I think you nailed it with Cruise owning his crazy moniker.
The main thing i remember from M:I 2 and my favorite scene is when you think Hunt gets killed. The movie might suck but Zimmer's little piece coupled with the tell of Hugh being the one behind the mask with the bandaged finger, is done really well IMHO.
Arslan Aladeen I agree with you on that
Actually, for me - MI3 has the weakest "break into the place to steal the thing" sequence. Better to say - there was no such sequence. Yeah, i remember that building with a rabbit's foot, but the whole stealing scene was just cutted or never made, so we can only see how Ethan is entering and exiting, nothing interesting.
I consider the Vatican sequence to be that scene with Phillip Seymour Hoffman to be the 'thing to steal' in question. A bit of a cheat? Eh maybe, but the only ones I remember in 2 was the race track and the bio building, and honestly I don't remember much about them at all other than Thandie stealing something from Dougrays pocket and putting it back in the wrong one at the racetrack, and a shootout in the bio building when Thandie inject herself with the virus and Tom jumps out a hole in the wall.
The building with the rabbit foot is about equivalent to the bio building for me, and the Vatican trumps the racetrack easily as far as I'm concerned.
Dude, tecbnically, yeah. It's possible to imagine PSH as that thing, buuuuut - even after all of this - i am still going to agree with video's author - 3'rd movie was just OK. I really prefer second one more. Maybe it is stupid in most cases, but at least rememorable and with a style, which isn't good for a huge amount of people, but still has his own fans, like myself.
"What about the reason of your putting MI2-stealing-scene above MI3?" - you may ask, and get "I really enjoyed action sequence, Ambrose dialogue with Ethan, Zimmer's music, and cameraman's work over there." as an answer.
Opinions - like onions. They tastes differently in each dish:3
Hope, you get my point.
Great work as always! I really enjoy your videos and love discussion on the MI franchise. Can’t wait for the next video, and I’m glad to see such high quality consistent content
This is what it felt like to me:
MI - The start. good story. good action. good film
MI2 - The one with the "swag" (that limp bizkit soundtrack XD)
MI3 - The tactical one
MI4 - The holy shit one
MI5 - Great but not as "spectacular" as MI4
MI6 - (to other action films of the year, maybe the decade) *Omae wa mo shindeiru*
I love how this video itself is really well edited. Good job👍👌
That was some editing ! This channel deserves more viewers and likes !
Stellar editing, as expected 👌
i said mission accomplished when i push the like.
Your editing is fantastic.
Thank you!
This franchise...fucking put the entire movie in the starting credits and still made 6 consistent good films. Best franchise hands down,just by listening to the song you're ready to jump off a building or some shit
Rossatron, I'm sorry but you're wrong about M:I 3. I am a huge fan of Mission Impossible and 3 is my favourite of the series. Best villain, awesome action and personal stakes for Ethan Hunt. And it's the film that finally understood what Mission is: Fast paced action packed film with an emphasis on the team.
Oh and "nothing memorable", hello, Vatican infiltration, tense stand off, highway action sequence, I remember these well.
Luke Baxter Thank you! I was scouring for someone to admire the Vatican infiltration as much as I do!
Leonard Reles Well it is a scene that I love watching whenever I get around watching the film. The way it plays out and how it's crafted make it so much fun to see.
Yeah, Rossatron has a way of arrogantly presenting his opinion as fact while ignoring the wider talk around a film.
He may not find the first film to be a classic, and that's fine. But he flatly ignores the film's reputation has held up for over 20 years.
He may not think MI3 is memorable, and that's fine. But he flatly ignores it's a solid fan favorite that people hold in high regard.
Dude why do you follow me
Rossatron Because you make good content? I'm not allowed to disagree with you from time to time?
love your channelll
Beautifuly edited!!!
As others have rightly mentioned, your editing is phenomenal! The one that caught my eye is 7:14, so I had to re-watch the rest of it to make sure I found the rest of the cuts. Well done!
This is one of the best analysis of this series I’ve ever seen.
Well done!
Thank you!
Why the hell does this not have more traction on UA-cam?
P.S. I love how much you talk about action films on your channel. Please keep it up
I love your vids! 👍🏽
Yes. Because the movies keep getting better as they go on.
Just as an editor's note: the handoff between M:I-2 and M:I:III at 4:17? Very well done, Rossatron.
I’m going to watch Fallout on Friday. It’s crazy how I didn’t notice the non shaky cam in Rogue Nation but it feels so much nicer. Ghost Protocol still stands as one of my favorite movies ever for making everything more fun
Ugh what? The first is very much a classic.
MI:3..."nothing memorable?" What? That's the film that reinvigorated the series for fans and critics alike. It's still considered by many to be the best of the series.
I also have to scoff at your "shaky" comment. It's almost a reflex with you you can't help. Shaky doesn't mean bad. And none of the shaky camera work in the film is in any way sloppy.
I don't like using it as an example of quality, but in terms of the earlier films if you look at something like Rotten Tomatoes you'll see none of them are universally liked, with the first at the time critically considered an okay film, but definitely not a classic. And in terms of the shakiness, I say the action is at times very assured if pretty shaky, that's all. It's my preference, like clearly for McQuarrie and Cruise, that action be less quick cut and shaky. You can disagree, but going back and watching it now I just feel like it goes overboard with it. Again though it's my preference, this is just my channel to talk about action films, you don't have to agree.
Rossatron Mi3 set the tone for movies like The Dark Knight. You're talking nonsense if you think Rotten Tomatoes and the overall critics are a valuable reference. Mi3 is full of memorable scenes: the bridge, the toilet scene, the interrogation, the roof running in Shanghai, the rescue mission at the beginning, etc.
Shaky camera is the worst thing to plague action movies since lens flares.
In my Opinion, a good starter to watch Mission Impossible is MI three. That movie was so underrated
0:36 Man, that cut was amazing. This video was very well edited and I do appreciate it. As someone wanting to get into doing video essays, I do value that stuff. That said, do you have any advice? Or is it just practice makes perfect? Either way, excellent video and you've earned a sub.
I consider Ghost Protocol the best by a very slim margin and its paper thin. The new one is excellent. MI films are like wine, it just gets better and better. Studios need to take notes on how to sustain a franchise and keep it fresh like MI
Love you Ross! I'm currently rewatching the franchise to prepare for the new one.
I would love for you to do a video about why the bathroom fight is so great. Your analysis of action films is amazing
Nah, films like John Wick will never be as good as Mission: Impossible because, John Wick are basically better choreographed gun-fu movies.
Police Story and Mission: Impossible - the two franchises I can watch any day. Particularly Supercop and Ghost Protocol, those two are timeless.
i like how he refers to fast and furious as action movies now since they have diverted from the whole street racing thing
I was waiting for this one.
What makes Mission Impossible, for me at least, is lessons learned... from Jackie Chan. While Cruise hasn't yet reached the consistent quality of Chans heyday, it is clear that he has taken some very serious notes about how Chan made his career. Especially starting with Ghost Protocol. Ethan hunt transformed from theall powerful badass of MI2 (still underrated, in my regard) and became more a normal human in way over his head somehow surviving increasingly insane situations by recklessly throwing himself around into dangerous situations using equipment that barely works reliably. All the while the camera is recording in steady long wideshots. Picking up the emotions of Ethan. Anger, frustration, fear and excitement. That way we see who is doing the stunts and who is doing what so we can concentrate on enjoying the thrills instead of just spending all of the precious viewing seconds desperately trying to decipher who is doing what (I'm talking about you, MI3 and your Bourne sequels inspirations).
Ok I finally have to say this. Your cuts are sometimes just incredible. 04:59 what even is this ? A match/swipe/camera cut on action ??? I noticed this in earlier videos of you but this cut especially finally made me write this comment. Outstanding work 👍
Edit: 08:47 and this ? Are you kidding me ?
Thanks for noticing, it's actually very easy, just about keeping an eye out for moments that will cut well. Action films often utilise whip pans with action so finding two in different scenes that whip the same direction and just cutting between them when it has the most motion blur and looks most natural. The other is a match cut such as how Stanley Kubrick/Ray Lovejoy did with the bone/spaceship in 2001, that's just about having a sense of visually what matches both in terms of still image around the cutting points, and making sure the flow of action matches in terms of direction/rotation/pace etc.
M:I 'Ghost Protocol' & 'Rogue Nation' are definitely my favs.
Fantastic stuff !!!
Cruise running at the screen, such a fantastic sight!
I never get really excited for these movies but I always love them when I see them in the cinemas
do you think you could do all of the movies you said in the beginning of the video in a series of which ones were the best like you did with this cause if so that's cool
This video should have been sponsored by a distribution team wanting to sell a Mission Impossible collection series because it makes me want to -buy- it legitimately
It just keeps getting better.
Im glad to hear your feelings on fallout. Im really looking forward to it
1. MI Fallout
2. MI Ghost Protocol
3. MI3 (Very Underrated)
4. MI Rogue Nation
5. Mission Impossible
6. MI2
1. MI Fallout : the Mad Max Fury Road of Tom Cruise's career.
2. MI Ghost Protocol : when he eventually understood what the franchise was all about.
3. MI3 : the perfect "impossible mission".
4. MI2 : the weird somewhat failure that turned into an iconic film.
5. MI : the original one. Brian De Palma. Quintessence of a spy movie.
6. MI Rogue Nation : the most forgettable.
Definitely. Real stunts. Quality storytelling. 6 movies and counting. The first one is still my favorite but I've very much enjoyed the recent entries.
What do you use to edit?
If Hollywood is so determined to continue making reboots, this is what we want. We dont want Terminator 5 or Die Hard 5.
The only other franchise that in my opinion challenges the Mission Impossible is the John Wick.
Similarities between Tom and Keanu are interesting when you think about it, both of them are great actors that really really love their job and are ready to do some of the craziest stunts themselves. Not to mention that both are not as young as they used to be but they still are biggest names in the action genre.
There is a BIG difference in my own experience and enjoyment of the film when I know that either Tom or Keanu has done most if not all the crazy stunts and action sequences!
And neither of them seem to age.
0:10 where was that scene?
Another excellent video. Can't wait to see Fallout this weekend.
I thought it is Nathan Drake from the Uncharted Games in your Thumbnail. Stil a good Video
Yes it is. Excited for the next one.
5:42 jeremy renner be like "they really want me to replace that guy?"
The answer is yes .
Expertly done! And yes, 100% agree!!
Lol, and the entire time I was wondering what you thought of John Wick. Fits perfectly at the end there.
Patrick Williams might like this video. You two should have collaborated on this, as he made a more in depth video about this very same thing only a couple of weeks ago.
To me, Lethal Weapon will always stay my favourite action movie franchise. Yes, the last two movies were not the best, but to me the portrayal of Riggs' and Murtaugh's relationship and their on screen-chemistry is just the best. Awesome films. M:I never really gripped me. Where LW1 and 2 had a lot of heavy, emotional stuff in it, M:I always struck me as not as deep. But that is just my opinion.
I just hope Rebecca's Ilsa character didn't die in the Venice bridge in the upcoming Mission Impossible-7/8
While I disagree with you on MI 3, As always you've delivered another excellent video with great info. Editing on point as usual too!
I love your video and I agree with you. Respectfully I disagree with the Jeremy Renner statement because that was both Cruise's and JJ Abrams' idea to bring him into the franchise. Besides that, I really love how the franchise keeps improving with every entry and fallout is the best by far.
Just caught an early screening of MI6 today. It really is the best MI movie yet. The action sequences were pretty incredible and a lot of it felt real (and a lot probably was). What I enjoyed about MI6 was that one of its main goals is to entertain the audience and it shows. Highly recommend!
Now that Top: Gun Maverick has hit $1.5 Billion...just imagine how much that is going to raise the profile of the final two Mission Impossible films?
Tom Cruise has just solidified and elevated himself to his highest star power EVER. Maverick is one of the biggest films of all time. The trailer for MI7 was attached to every showing, and Tom Cruise is bigger than ever and going even crazier with the stunts than ever.
Paramount is going to unleash the floodgates when it comes to marketing and promoting 7 and 8. I think both have the potential to be just as big as, if not bigger, than Top Gun: Maverick. Top Gun was a bit of a surprise for everyone. With MI7 and 8, Paramount is going to go all-out to set them up to be the biggest hits in the history of the studio.
Mission impossible is so intense and so fast pace like everything is thrown at you at the kitchen sink with all these over the top stunts and explosions at every corner
Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation and Fallout are some of my favourite action films of all time, so I'd say yes this is the best action franchise. I really hope there's a 7th, I'd love to see Brandt and Carter come back.
I personally think MI3 is one of the most underrated movies of all time! I even prefer it over ghost protocoll and rogue nation.
I didn't know "John Wick" was spelled like that. Is most of it silent?
Instead of John Woo I would've loved to see Steven Speilberg make part 2
Thanks for noticing
Which Mission: Impossible movies should I start?
With the exception of MI2 they are all pretty good films which is more than you can say about any other action franchise consisting of more than 2 movies.
i hope that in john wick 3 we get cruise vs. reaves. it would be the biggest action showdown of all time.
Thanks god. I am absolutely looking forward to hearing this.
Fuck yea!!!! John Wick 6 is comin for you Mission Impossible! Seriously tho Ghost Protocol thru to Fallout is amazing work
Like or loathe him folks.....Tom Thumb has always been a great sport through the years :)
Lethal Weapon and Police Story have consistently good entries, but it's difficult to think of a franchise that has raised the bar each time like the MI series
M.I. franchise just keeps getting better and better. Unlike the other franchises that starts to lose ground as they move forward. So yes.
