Fun fact: Mission Impossible is the ONE franchise which survived having JJ Abrams as director.

[@miked1869]

I actually think M:I3 is a good movie and Abrams did fine with it - maybe that's why!

[@benlunch7618]

@@miked1869 Abrams did not do fine with it... You can think Mi:3 is a good stand alone movie but like all other JJ Abrams mystery box, "do what feels right"- movies it left the rest of the franchise in an awful place because he doesnt care about bigger picture. JJ Abrams setups for Mission Impossible were jettisoned to such a degree that MI:4 wasnt even called MI:4.:JJ Abrams obsession with retiring Tom Cruise turned Mission Impossible into a discount Jack Ryan show. And what was that ridiculous ending with Laurence Fishburne talking about The White House offering a job and talking about him quitting... Ghost Protocal fortunately just ignored the entire thing and Soft Rebooted the franchise.

MI:7 is everything an action movie should be, high-stakes, high-octane, fast-paced, and kick-ass. This series gets better with every installment. Tom Cruise is trying to save the film industry, and it shows. Many shows and films in recent years have tended to deconstruct (i.e., ruin) the established protagonist, but we see Ethan Hunt at his best. Great cast and writing too. It's almost three hours long but it did *not* feel like it. Crowd-pleasing & entertaining. They know what the audience wants, and the hot streak continues. Part two should kick ass as well

No one likes the woke shit. The only strong women they can write are narcisists who hate men. Which is not what we want at all. Most women just want the male and female actors to just be able to do the same things. Which is probably why this movie works so well.

He keeps his nutty Scientology to himself. Although he did blowup on workers for not observing the ridiculous covid measures kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnnXloJraq-tepY That's what being brainwashed will do, either with religion or the covid narrative. I suppose you could argue he's forced to follow the narrative because if the crew doesn't then production shuts down and people lose their jobs. But you know he's fallen for it regardless. Still, he's not a moron.

[@pduidesign]

Obviously this movie is great like all of the MI movies have been for so many years. But the part I like best is how they wrote strong, female characters like Grace that come off as likable. All of them are capable in their own right and the filmmakers didn’t make them strong by weakening the men or making them look incapable. Now compare that to the latest Indiana Jones film with Helena played (and most likely written by) PWB. Night and day. MI does is right. Lucasfilm does it wrong…yet again.

[@petriew2018]

This movie is living proof that you don't, in fact, have to turn your brain off to just enjoy a good action film. It's not the smartest movie ever made, but there's still some great action set pieces and the plot actually invites you to try and figure out what's going on 'behind the scenes'. You can actually think about what's going on and not be punished for it.

[@betterlatethannever4529]

@@melvinch while technically I was thinking more about having Reeves get a role as the villain in a future MI film, I did have a small pitch about bringing in Cruise to the JW series for two films The first is a prequel to the original JW film, and Curise plays the role of the main target that John needs to eliminate during the “impossible mission” he was sent on to earn his freedom. This way Cruise isn’t downplayed in the role and we can get to see someone potentially on par with John in terms of skill. However, the end credits will show a hole where Cruise’s character was buried under a building came down on him. This would then lead into the 5(or 6th depending on how soon the next one comes out) film having Cruise’s character make himself known, which would mean that the original deal John made becomes null and void since he never completed the mission. (At the very least, he wants to complete it because friends are now targeted)

[@doublep1980]

Not only is Tom Cruise a great action star, but also Christopher McQuarrie is a fantastic director/writer. These 2 work so good together and that´s definitively a major factor on why this franchise is so successful. Oh and get this: McQuarrie liked working so much with Henry Cavill on the last M-I movie, that he went to WB/DC and pitched them a MoS sequel, complete with a script treatment and everything. And these imbeciles rejected it!! Imaging, having the guy who wrote/ directed the mega-successful M-I movies, pitching you a Superman movie and you say: "Nah... we´re god..."

[@inkermoy]

Saw it yesterday in IMAX, the time flew by and didn't get bogged down because Cruise/McQuarrie made a bunch of great characters that you want to watch on the screen. I've been saying before seeing this film that this is M:I's finale, with Cruise putting a bow on his career. But after seeing MI:DRpt1, I'm beginning to wonder if Paramount begged Cruise to throw in some new blood to tantalize the thought of a continuing franchise? With Cruise/McQuarrie producing, I think they could pull it off. Gone would be the magnificent stunts Cruise puts to screen, but in the last few films they've made quite a compelling world to visit.

The movie being 2hr45min long and a Part One, also being released just over a week before two other huge movies (Barbie and Opp.) is what will lead to not making a billion. This could've and should've been one complete movie no longer than 2hr 15min and it would've easily busted $1bil.

This is my favorite review so far of MI7. This breakdown properly explains just how epic this movie is, and just how rare and special Tom Cruise and McQ really are as an actor and director combo. They did everything the hardest way possible, actually building a real train, using real steel, and welding it together, only to destroy it later. They didn't make a cardboard green screen train, they made a fully functional train. The budget of $290,000,000 was not reflected in computer systems, like the 100 computers used to reverse age Harrison Ford in Indian Jones (although that's a really amazing feat). In one statement: They deserve our money. I will absolutely pay for a ticket to this movie.

Yes exactly. I liked this movie, pure action popcorn flick and a great addition to the Mission Impossible franchise. Im surprised more people arent talking about it. All the focus seems to have gone to Barbie and Oppenheimer. Two movies that didnt particularly resonate with me, although Oppenheimer was beautifully shot and great acting from RDJ + Cillian Murphy. But I digress, Tom Cruise is a phenomenal actor who does his own stunts, there's actually not a lot of actors like him anymore. At least he isn't pretending that MI is something so revolutionary and amazing. Tom Cruise aims to entertain his fans/audience, which is sorely lacking in modern cinema these days (*ahem*Disney*ahem*).

Do we trust what we've heard about Scientology, as it's come from disgraced outlets and media people who have probably all been fired, or disappeared by now? Has anyone actually listened to what Cruise has to say about it, or have we just made assumptions based on disparaging News stories? I am not religious, but I'm not going to allow News outlets to tarnish Cruise's reputation, because it's unfair for people to judge him without any first hand knowledge of his religion. I actually have a book found at a junkstore, written by the founder, Ron Hubbard, about detoxing the body, to remove stored toxins by sweating and taking real Niacin. It's a very fascinating book, with absolutely zero political or religious information, it's purely a health book. And in Cruise's defense, he obviously understands health and maintaining the body.

Top Gun Maverick, is one of the top 5 best Hollywood films of all time, from any genre. Reflecting back on it, it was the cast and the way it ended, as well as the lack of unnecessary CGI, that made one of the all time greats. They had to completely invent new methods of filming, and it took many tests and trial flights to figure it out. But the best part of the movie is what it did differently, not killing the characters, and by having a beautiful heartfelt ending, instead of using an expected brooding surge of death for "shock factor."

Actually, my least favorite thing in this movie. The biggest travesty in movie history is not giving Michelle Pfieffer her own Catwoman movie right after Batman. Talking about AI, you think if they put an AI chip (or 1000) in Kamala Harris's brain it will bring her IQ up to average? She blew another speech again today. At least she has a perfect track record. Joe sure knows how to pick them.

(SPOILER)----- I'm so pissed offed they killed Ilsa. I love Hayley Atwell but she can't replace Ilsa. She had a fucking sword. She had a fucking sword!😠 Btw...That Mantis chick from Guardians was pretty good in it too.

[@davidzecua5302]

Maybe it was to make up for Hayley's swift death in Multiverse of Madness lol

[@That_crazy_artist]

I've done fencing its really difficult and you can get exhausted quickly because it takes a lot of muscles in your body to be flexible and trained well. She seems a lot better with guns and hand to hand combat. Also it was to develop the story. Showed that grabriel has taken someone else Ethan cares about with no remorse, he liked it, he wanted to kill her with the quote "I was hoping it would be you", which developed Gabriels character even more.

[@everburn]

I'm sure she'll be back in the next one. A fakeout

[@miguellowe2407]

I expected way more people to express disappointment at Ilsa's exit from the franchise. Her skills were under utilized. How does she die at the hand of a guy who couldn't even wipe out Grace quickly? The movie stopped being enjoyable right after that, I tell you.

[@themarjoriedeleon]

​@@miguellowe2407Well said. I can't comprehend either how that death scene happened. And the movie kept trying to shove Grace into our face as Ilsa's replacement for Ethan's affections.

[@joshh.2159]

I just saw it last night and wow it was just sooooooo much fun!!!!!

[@temper44]

Tom Cruise is getting up there in age, and hes not a huge guy. However, that actually works in his favor in many fight scenes. Look at his fighting style, he can actually go 95% on his punches against the stuntmen. As they're 30 something tough guys, they can most likely handle his punches, but it makes for incredibly realistic looking fights. Especially when you compare it to movies where they cut away during the punch, or use perspective to avoid contact. Cruise can actually load up a serious punch, and the stuntman will make it real.

[@brunoheggli2888]

This is all unimportend shit!This are just stupid actionmovies,it dosent matter if hes 30 or 90 years old!

[@toxichammertoe8696]

I dont think any M.I. movies were just popcorn movies...They truly wrapped me in mystery untill the end

[@worsethanhitlerpt.2539]

The AI was pretty scary and the movie deals with alot of relevant stuff beyond the normal action movie scope. MI7 delivers as an action movie but the plot is damn good too

I left the cinema with a really wide smile on my face. I can see the movie's flaws, but screw them, it was really enjoyable.

[@Boomslayer19]

i love how this movie really plays on the ai aspect how can you know anything in a increasingly dependent on technology world especially given how one of the greatest strengths of the IMF is technology so what happens when you can no longer trust said technology

I was blown away. It had alot of Inception vibes as well.. loved it

[@hitemhard2616]

This movie was the bomb ...honestly this is the first movie i watched twice in cinema in 6+ years 😅

[@livelarge2452]

10 years ago this is a normal movie. It’s astonishing you have to describe the role of a regular actress in these clown times.

[@allnighter2011]

I think Tom Cruise has shown great talent in roles that aren't action like the Firm, A few good men, Interview with vampire, and the list goes on, so I think he should do more of that as he moves forward.

I have yet to watch the Mission Impossible series! I bought the first 2 movies on VHS yesterday and so I'm looking forward to experiencing them for the first time.

It was just soso!

[@beastboss90]

First M:I i’ve ever seen, and it glued me to the screen. Gonna see the previous ones and can’t wait for part 2! I loved seeing Top Gun Maverick in IMAX last year, and Tom delivered again this year, just like the rest of the cast.

[@ericgen5022]

Start with MI 3 and go forward. MI Fallout (MI 6) is a near masterpiece. Dead Reckoning was a perfect follow up.

[@oXRaptorzXo]

The first 2 are just alright but once you get to the third it’s amazing. MI3 is probably JJ Abrams best movie

[@spenser9908]

We have to bring back the exploding chewing gum for the last movie.

[@hOtneO]

Your mission should you choose to accept it Mr. Cruise, is to film the next sequel to Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning during the largest Hollywood strike with writers and actors. Could've would've should've filmed it back to back.

[@Noah-nk5og]

I’ve been watching mission impossible movies since I was 5. I’m not gonna miss this one cause they’re always good.

[@josephlauzon3737]

M:I-7 has a chance to be the best MI film yet, but the second half has to bring it home next year. I think McQ makes this part one feel more complete than most other part one movies, by actually including two characters whose character arcs includes a complete transformation. That said, cannot wait for part two.

[@HeavyMetalJesus02]

Pom Klementieff, Haylet Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson all looked amazing in this movie. Rest of the cast was great too, the acting was great.
