Mission: Impossible - Fallout | The BEST M:I Yet | Review

[@themagachad]

I think for me, the Mission Impossible films do a better job at suspense and informing the audience of the stakes and risks of each set piece. Part of what makes a good action sequence is that suspense Every Tom Cruise produced movie in the last decade has me on the edge of my seat or legs bouncing from the suspense. Its extremely thrilling

[@waywardlaser]

4, 5, and 6 are all just so sooooo good. Hyped for Dead Reckoning.

[@jessicadavis8865]

I watch this movie, and I am not kidding whatsoever, every few months. Probably every 2-4 months. It’s one of the best action movies ever made, and I have zero hesitation in saying that. Your inability to think of any downsides is exactly how I feel - I think it’s a perfect movie. It is so good, so well made, that even in rewatches it gets your adrenaline pumping and is just as enthralling as the first time you saw it. The character work is fantastic, the pace is on-point, the inclusion of both Julia and Ilsa is executed to perfection, the story is interesting without being convoluted, the soundtrack is AMAZING, it’s all just… utter perfection. There are no words to describe just how excited I am for Dead Reckoning. Possibly the most excited I’ve been for a movie, ever. Glad you loved this movie - it’s cool to see a Bond fan give it a thumbs up!

[@kevint1719]

I think from Ghost Protocol onwards, Mission Impossible has been the best action franchise around. The last Bond film I felt was on that level was Casino Royale. Dead Reckoning is the one film this summer I'm really looking forward to. Eon films should definitely be looking at these films as a model for where to take 007 post-Daniel Craig.

[@spacemann1425]

Disagree, I think it's John Wick. That franchise is so damn consistent, it's really tough to rank all of its films.

[@robertgarner11]

I agree with @kevint1719. The MI films have the perfect mix of action and humour that the Bond films used to have. In other words, the MI films are enjoyable, as were the Bond films until Quantum. As a lifelong Bond fan I’m more excited with a new MI film than the glacial pace of the next Bond film. “Do keep up, 007!” EDIT: sadly MI: Dead Reckoning wasn’t as good as the previous 3 MI films 😔

[@jimmyboy7817]

It's difficult to remember now, but the first Mission Impossible movie came at a time when many 1960s/70s tv shows were getting the modern day big screen treatment. The Adams Family, The Avengers, The Brady Bunch, Lassie, The Flintstones, Lost in Space and Charlie's Angels were some of the other tv shows that got movies based on them at this time. Mission Impossible and The Fugitive were the best in my opinion. Mission Impossible Fallout shows how much the films have transcended their source material.

[@pauloloughlin1949]

Love this movie, but Rogue Nation is still my favourite of the series. Can't wait to see Dead Reckoning

[@filmpositive6601]

Me too!

[@LukeLovesRose]

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I mean the whole nuclear threat plot is kind of old. They did the same thing in Ghost Protocol. Everything was leading down to Ethan stopping a nuke. I'm surprised Ethan didnt yell out, "Mission accomplished" when he stopped the nuke in Fallout. I loved the unexpected ending to Rogue Nation. Everything leading up to that point was wonderful and exciting and smart. Everything a Mission Impossible movie should be

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

Rogue Nation has a disappointing 3rd act and has a disappointing finale. After having fantastic sequences at the opera , water heist, and car chase, a chase through the streets of London is lame

[@LukeLovesRose]

I like the first 3 Mission Impossible movies, but 4 - 6 are really brilliant. They include emotional elements without it becoming too much of a burden on the action. The Bond movies can't top the dramatic elements covered in the Craig films - they need to ratchet up thr excitement and fun again

[@spacemann1425]

1, 5 and 6 are brilliant. 4 is good, the remaining two are only decent or average.

[@Jacobmovietalk]

I think 3 is fantastic. Not as good as ghost and fallout but still great.

[@spaceodds1985]

@@Jacobmovietalk3 for me seems to be the forgotten one somewhat, but it was the one that put the series back on course.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

9:54 Christopher McQuarrie was brought in on Ghost Protocol [as an uncredited writer] during filming where Julia was meant to have died between films. He said it would make MI3 meaningless and Cruise agreed so the cameo scene was arranged. He also said he felt he couldn't have Ethan+ Ilsa get properly together [they don't even have a kiss in the two films to this point] until the audience and Ethan knows Julia is doing well and her storyline is wrapped up.

[@spyboy1964]

I think that the bathroom fight scene is inspired by True Lies more so than Casino Royale.

[@lifeschool]

I must say, the lighting and the photography at the start was actually breathtaking. I love how the light just cuts through the shape. If you looked after your funding money, I bet you could broker a start on a fan tribute movie. As they say, if others aren't willing to make the movie of your dreams, make it yourself.

[@thewildcard83]

I’m a long term fan of both bond and the MI franchise, and ever since like Ghost Protocol, I’ve been in the camp of these films are everything Bond used to be for me.

[@spaceodds1985]

Despite all the phenomenal set pieces and action on display my three favourite moments of the film is Ethen facing off with the French cop, Benji saying “Ilsa? Our Ilsa?” And last but not least Huntley’s demise.

Well, Ethan can be overpraised to an extent as you say, but remember that LITERALLY every movie he's accused of being a traitor or terrorist and is hunted down by former allies and new foes. The only exception is 2, but guess what, the villain wears a Tom Cruise mask TWICE, he's literally the evil Ethan Hunt. That stuff rarely happens to James Bond. When you think of it, James Bond has a pretty great life, while Ethan Hunt has a very shitty one.

[@WH250398]

His rendition of the Mission Impossible theme is just epic.

[@ForceMaximus84]

“I may not like you, but you love your audience.” That is an apt explanation for how I turned around about Cruise since his bonkers behavior back in 2005. I still think he is a bit nuts on a human level, but his dedication to entertaining audiences and his respect for said audiences cannot be denied. As for Fallout, I like it better than Rogue Nation, but the first and Ghost Protocol are the best Missions so far for me.

[@alfonsobiggers2452]

I'm glad you really loved this one Calvin! Many are revisiting the _Mission: Impossible_ films right now and I've shared my thoughts before, but they merit repeating here. The experience of watching _Fallout_ in theaters is an experience I will never forget. After the final chase was over I moved to lean back, quickly realizing that I had quite literally been on the edge of my seat for at least the past half hour. From the brilliant bathroom brawl, to the visceral Paris chase, and the nail-biting final sequence, I was in love with every moment and movement of the film. Every rewatch has only further solidified my consensus on this film: _This is one of the greatest action films ever made..._ 10/10

[@davidjames579]

It does a fantastic job of maintaining tension throughout, through what's on screen, the editing and the music. I've heard comparisons to The Dark Knight and I think that's fair.

[@prats_d1196]

I suggest you revisit the very first Mission Impossible as well. How awesome that film is is lost on many people.

Well, look at it this way. James Bond surely led to Mission Impossible being created in the first place along with other spy tv shows like The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Avengers, Get Smart, I Spy and Danger Man.

Mission: Impossible is one of the few long running film franchises where they seem to be getting better and better with each instalment. I do admit, I haven’t yet seen Dead Reckoning Part One, but from 3 to 6 the franchise has very much been improving (though my favourite is still number one), with 3 being better than 2, and then 4 being better than 3 and with Fallout being being pretty phenomenal in most cases.

Never have been able to properly voice why I went to the theater multiple times for this movie and have held it as my favorite MI since. I think... it's because the film is a rare example of a beautiful action movie. It's just gorgeous and full of human relationships.

[@Lorenzo957080]

Unpopular opinion: as a person who loves hugely the 007 saga, I think the last two M:I films are much better than the 007 ones with Craig as James Bond. Rogue Nation and Fallout are so entertaining and great that they make me miss more the time when 007 movies were full of fun and only a little of drama. Last but not the least, I've probabily fallen in love with Rebecca Ferguson since the first time I saw her: for me she would have been the best Bond girl since Izabella Scorupco in Goldeneye, since I don't apprecitate the Bond girls of the Craig era, except for Eva Green and Ana de Armas.

[@greatwuta]

I don't blame you for thinking this way

[@spaceodds1985]

IMO not as unpopular as you think. Could not agree more with this comment

[@jamesatkinsonja]

I'm a big Rebecca Ferguson fan too-I think Ilsa is the best Bond girl not to be in a Bond film! I would have loved to see a spin off show/series with her but it'll never happen. The Bond girls in Craig's era are quite different from previous Bond eras [Camille in Quantum is not a romantic interest and Skyfall doesn't have a main Bond girl] but I personally quite like the main ones.

[@spaceodds1985]

Great entry in the series, but Rogue Nation remains my favourite. Having said that both this and Rogue Nation really upped the game in both spy and action cinema. Say what you want about other franchises like John Wick (I know, not a great comparison) M:I remains IMO the best for epic scoped action.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

10:38 She does mention 'my mother Max' in her introduction speech to the crowd but it's easy to miss first time. Max was supposed to return in an early draft of MI2 and have a cameo in Ghost Protocol [hence why one of her henchman returns for that film] but it fell through last minute. Vanessa Kirby had a large role in 'Hobbs and Shaw' as an MI6 agent. 12:50 I'd like to think that even Cavill is bored of everyone saying he'd be a light hearted Bond and embraced the idea of playing a darker character.

[@davidjames579]

Yeah I was going to mention that, it is said in the film. In fact before she said it, and before we see her face, I honestly thought it was Vanessa Redgrave back as Max, so Kirby nailed the resemblance.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

I do enjoy Kingsman 1 but I wouldn't put it on par with the last two Mission films [mainly due to the rough CGI due to the budget and going too far with the violence and humour in some places] but it's easily the best of that series [so far] and each to there own.

I remember a review of this film back when it came out describing it as "Ethan Hunt's Skyfall or On Her Majesty's Secret Service" or something a long those lines and I can absolutely see the "Skyfall" comparisons with how both are essentially about proving why the main characters way f things matters despite all the odds stacked against them. Still looking forward to "Dead Reckoning Part 1", although I am reserving myself this time especially after being somewhat letdown by the likes of "John Wick: Chapter 4" and "Across the Spider-Verse" even if those two films are not bad per say.

[@stuartwebb7932]

Is there any other film series that got as far as six movies deep where it's pretty much universally agreed it got consistently better as it got along? Even with Bond, I think the general consensus is the third is the best of the first half dozen. In terms of Bond/MI comparisons, I think it's actually a good thing for Bond that its main counterpart is also something that was originally a 60s cold war mired franchise. MI also being hugely successful should kill any "Is Bond still relevant?" discourse.

[@tashrif46]

9:13 she stole every scene she was in. These movies really put Rebecca Ferguson into another stratosphere.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

I really love her [even in lesser projects she's great] and Ilsa as a character. Shame we'll never get a spin off as the character is strong enough to have her own film/series but can't wait to see more of her in DR Part 1.

[@Motley14]

Somewhat left-field but if you're in the market for two movies full of the Fallout bathroom fight tension, I'd recommend the Indonesian martial arts films The Raid and its sequel. The Raid 2 has a little undercover spy stuff going on (and the cinematography is outstanding), but they're martial arts films above all else. The best in the business in my opinion.

[@dr.mikelohle]

What a great movie. Tom Cruise is a modern Buster Keaton, putting himself in harm's way for our entertainment. Cruise's commitment is on display in every frame of Fallout. Henry Cavill also embodies the blunt instrument M said Bond would become. While he may not end up playing Bond, his roles here and in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. present an intriguing window into how he might handle the role.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

I do think this film shows he's more than the 'Roger Moore' Bond he got labelled with after Uncle and could do a darker take. His next films are Argyll and 'Ministry of Ungentlemanly warfare' which are also aiming to be in the vain of Bond.

[@NelsonStJames]

Whoa, I'm late ! I've been waiting for this one for soooo long! Finally you'll see what all the hype is about. The thing this film does which I’ve missed from the Bond series is the idea of a main bad guy with a henchman where the henchman and protagonist square off at the end. I appreciate the humor the films have started to incorporate, and last can we acknowledge that Tom Cruise is older than Sir Roger Moore was when he did View to a Kill?

[@leroystea8069]

To be fair, had it not been for the successful James Bond franchise Mission Impossible would have never happened. Based on the television series which at the time was inspired by James Bond, there was always this sense of suspense with the MI television series for an ensemble cast of characters. Yes I too loved "Fallout" and I am glad you mentioned the scene with the female French Traffic Warden. I so loved that scene, not knowing where it would go and then that desire to protect innocent people was quite a moment. I liked James Bond a lot and Mission Impossible also. Too bad the Man From U.N.C.L.E. movie was such a lame attempt. But I guess that would have evolved into a James Bond ripoff - even though the television series was really good.

[@katashworth41]

Definitely my favourite of the series (though it not briefly turning into an episode of Rev, unlike Rogue Nation, was disappointing).

Has something to do with every Mission Impossible movie being vastly superior to every James Bond movie save for possibly Casino Royale.

[@NerdonFilm]

Loved the intro. Mission: Impossible Fallout is the greatest action film ever made. Just edges out Casino Royale for me.

Hi Calvin! Great work as usual. I’d love to see you do a review of the John wick films one day 👍

[@SwordmasterKane]

Calvin... no scene should ever be filmed like a scene in "Quantum of Solace"! Ever! EVER!!!

[@blinard1]

Sorry....How many traffic wardens have POLICE written on thier uniform and have guns?!?

[@nielslauridsen2323]

I always thought Mission brought the humour, Bourne brought the action and Bond brought the sex to spy thrillers

[@prats_d1196]

Bond is the father of both. It's Dr No, From Russia With Love and Goldfinger which started the spy-thriller raze after their release, and the Mission Impossible TV show was a by product of the same.

Fallout is the best of MI films. What I really like is how it ties together all the previous films from MI3 together. It did it a lot better than Spectre did with Craig's Bond films. Rob Hardy and Lorne Balfe were great additions to the crew. I liked Hardy's work since Testament of Youth and he's a regular collaborator with Alex Garland, whilst Balfe is a big-name composer and Fallout was one of his best scores. I do find it funny that MI - Fallout was the film that forced Warner Brothers to use CGI off Cavill's moustache for Joss Wheldon's Justice League

[@jamesatkinsonja]

In fairness, Mission Impossible 1-5 are largely stand alone so it was easier to make 6 a direct sequel to 5 while rapping up lose ends [Max, Jules] from the earlier films while Craig's films were a continuing story from the off [James Bond radio said it's Skyfall benching the Quantum/Spectre arc which leads to issues later] even if Spectre's execution is undeniably clunky. MI is a bit like if the Brosnan series started to be serialised towards the end. Fallout does pull the threads together very naturally which makes me hopeful they'll pull off the two part Dead reckoning, particularly as the trailer shows call backs/follow up on from the 1996 film.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

I've waited years for your review on this and it was worth the wait. I'm not sure how there going to top this with Dead Reckoning Part 1+2.

[@DafyddBrooks]

i think its only natural to do a infinty war/ end game or matrix 2 and 3 type of thing as theyve done 4 really good movies now they it feels like the next step. they've earned it too

[@ThePowerscalingCinephile]

Funny how he says Ethan is a character that most people overly praises in the movies when we got Angela Basset's character and previous characters like her before saying the opposite most of the time.

[@MichaelBakerFilmmaking]

This is one of my favourite films of all time. The action is amazing and knowing Tom Cruise Dead Reckoning will be even better.

[@frozenwishstudios]

Finally I've been waiting for this. Will you review Dead Reckoning as soon as it comes out?

[@AlexGlinkin]

Loved your video. I'd like to see more reviews on Tom Cruise films. "The Firm" and "The Last Samurai" are my favorite from his filmography.
