Breaking Down The Best Impossible Mission

[@brucecrawford_17]

In my opinion, ever since Ghost Protocol, I feel like the Mission: Impossible films have gotten better every time! Which is a rare feat!

[@utkarshed]

Even since 3! It was way better than 2.

[@brucecrawford_17]

@@utkarshedVery true! In my opinion, Ghost Protocol just felt like a soft reboot of the series.

[@utkarshed]

@@brucecrawford_17 I feel that way about 3. It introduced Simon Pegg, the new visual style, and Ethan actually having multi-movie loves.

[@brucecrawford_17]

@@utkarshed I understand. 4 just took the filming up a notch with the stunts that Tom Cruise would be known for nowadays.

[@utkarshed]

@@brucecrawford_17 and brought in Christopher McQuarrie.

[@SmartypantsTutoring]

The best ongoing franchise to date. No franchise has ever been so throughly consistent as this one. No franchise minus maybe John Wick and James Bond are regularly doing these kinds of stunts and always aiming higher. There is an old fashion charm to this franchise from its exotic and real locations to its relatively simple and welcoming formula. Great video as always.

[@Balthazar2242]

I love how Ethan Hunt is a perfect character without flaw, and they're fully aware of that. His greatest challenges are choosing between two goods. He is the literal manifestation of destiny.

[@johnnychopsocky]

Don't forget how they've been steadily subverting that over the last 3 films with Ethan looking at the latest death-defying stunt he's going to have to do and doing everything save for 'sighing out loud' at the prospect. Just a mental "damnit, here I go again..." Dude is *tired* but he still needs to go to work, and that is really relatable.

[@Balthazar2242]

@@johnnychopsocky He is _morally_ perfect, is what I mean.

[@notsohandyandy]

@@Balthazar2242 he's basically Captain America without literal superpowers lol

[@alexman378]

I don’t think he’s meant to be shown as a perfect character, since his plans fail more than they succeed. His greatness as a character is in showing the human capacity for greatness if one can focus on it. This is sold very well since Cruise himself is doing it all for real, pushing himself to extremes that very few would, but any able bodied man could do if they wanted to as much as he does.

[@sumirsookdeo9443]

Best franchise with great stunts. Tom Cruise and Jackie Chan deserve more respect.

Ghost Protocol's Burj Khalifa scene in IMAX in 2011 was one of my favorite movie theater experiences of all time, I still have the soundtrack burnt into my memory and can remember the tension of the scene

[@thetalentof]

Great video, I managed to catch a theatrical screening of 'Mission Impossible' earlier this year and The Langley heist is now the best experience of a movie scene I've ever had with an audience (full house but everyone eerily sitting so still and calm as if worried they were going to set off the alarm system as well as Hunt).

[@Michael-Nerd]

Ghost Protocol is definitely my favourite of these movies... 1 is a classic 2 had too much slo mo 3 was ok...but I thought this would be it 4 was a revelation and perfectly tuned and paced 5 + 6 were equally great and amazing thrill rides and they kept the quality of the 4th. But part 4 was a perfect reboot and the focus on practical stunts instead of over the to slo mo and style made the franchise that much better

[@kevinl1299]

Perfectly said, I completely agree!

[@lonewalkerproductions]

I used to call this the greatest action franchise ever. Now I'd argue it's the greatest film franchise altogether

[@caseydalton1234]

Agreed!!!!!

[@KillerTacos54]

Mission Impossible just gets better and better man. Fallout is definitely my favourite, and who knows, Dead Reckoning could become my favourite

[@peace4myheart]

Fallout is peak MI for me also but 1st one's story is best bc it's more of a thriller

[@RedSevers-h8q]

So excited for the new one! I think it's going to be the blockbuster of the summer!

[@AlainBoudard]

Great video ! You reminded me why I love the franchise... And Tom Cruise, since I loved many early movies including Days of Thunder and of course Top Gun ...

[@keatonmorse9439]

Mission 3 and onwards are amazing films, 3 is gritty and personally my favourite, long live Ethan Hunt

[@zachtaylor5312]

I think this is the only franchise that keeps getting better or at least stays the same quality over time. 1 and 2 are good movies but 3-7 are all amazing in my opinion. For different reasons.

[@JuanHernandez-ze3si]

That was great video and great breakdown and you're right about the scene being a turning point but not the movie. Ghost Protocol, while being a decent MI movie is not really the point where the franchise evolved, I personally think that ROGUE NATION is responsible for that, having Christopher Mcquarrie write and direct these films is really a game changer.

[@peace4myheart]

What he is saying is that the movie focus less on Ethan and more on the team and that was the turning point for the franchise moving forward. Rogue Nation builds upon that formula

[@trewic8678]

he ghost wrote ghost protocol. 4 was the turning point

[@trewic8678]

and it wasn’t a decent movie. it is the best in the series besides fallout

[@QuincyKane]

Tom Cruise makes some of the best movies ever!

[@scruffd0g193]

Ever since the 4th one, this franchise has taken off.

[@npcimknot958]

seriously the only franchaise that gets better is wild.

[@The_Pronato]

for me the defining moment was when I found out that was Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder, just completely mind blown

[@cbspock1701]

The first one is good, second is the worst but since the third one MI has been on fire. I love Rogue Nation

[@yash_kapoor]

This is the most Canadian you’ve ever been I don’t know why but I can feel it

[@babeyoulove1883]

One of the things that impress me is - How they top themselves - I can not recall any film series as good as MI - Love what they have done with the new directions.

[@SupportTheLittleGuy]

That scene in question was definitely over the top and probably more questionable than Ethan’s entire climb lol

[@matthewtetley7048]

I'd love his next one after part two to go smaller in scope, say a chase through an asian city with the tight corners on foot or bike/motorcycle for a set piece as part of the larger mission

[@mrjezzk]

great video. expert analysis

[@Snagprophet]

my dad isn't a fan of the first one because of what they did to Jim, they even sacrificed having the original actor in the movie over that. Otherwise Tom Cruise has definitely earned and owned the torch of the movie franchise.

[@suto5704]

Great video

[@stevenharsono9911]

It Will be heartbreaking and tragic if Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa Faust character end up dead on the Venice bridge in the upcoming Mission Impossible dead reckoning

Good stuff

Super

[@seanchukwuezi3079]

If 3 really save the franchise ghost protocol really defined the franchise with likeable characters and risk taking have the team falling

[@Raynhardx]

The floor hit cut at 2:56 is incredible 😂
