[@yitoji]

This movie is 10 times better than any fast movie. You guys are crazy.

[@Chiva601]

Tim is a Fast Furious fan boy. These movies are a lot better.

[@MikeSW]

Well said.

[@sparty5449]

Yeah they are far better

[@watermelonslipstream5467]

Yeah and his complaints can easily be carried over for the fast franchise

[@watermelonslipstream5467]

"All these bad guys aren't good" please name a good bad guy in the first 4 fast and furious movies, he compares these movies to fast 5-8 (doesnt openly say it) but if you had to compare MI1-4 and fast 1-4 mission is just leagues ahead

[@zachbut13]

lmao imagine a world in which you criticize the mission impossible movies compared to fast and furious...couldn’t be me

[@jizzledoops6789]

The acting alone in each is night and day lol.

[@jordankent6356]

It’s a world where your head is so far up your ass, you can’t tell if it’s night or day outside.

[@Isaactheking17]

Zach Butner different category

[@JohnSmith-ox9db]

Tim bro you gotta chill with these expectations, the movie can be incredible if you don't expect it to go exactly how you would write it

[@bendecidospr]

Did I miss something in the last episode? Because, Tim seemed much more positive about that movie, and very negative about this movie, and yet voted this one above 3?

[@csmatrix007]

He's all over the place honestly. I enjoyed 3 more personally, but barely. Since 3, they all get better and actually start having continuity and lore like Tim wants. He'll eat his words by Fallout!

[@CriticalNobody]

Tim complains that the characters explain what their plan is and then execute it. So, I guess he must hate all heist movies then

[@BogeyZero]

Tim I really think that if you stop looking for lore and series long character development that you'd find in Fast and Furious you'll have a better time with these movies. The stories are mainly just excuses to string together some of the dopest action scenes and stunts in all cinema. If that's not your cup of tea, that's cool. But that's what these movies are and I would recommend you stop hoping for it before going into every movie, because you'll leave each one disappointment. Just go into them expecting awesome action and set pieces and good chemistry between team members. If that's not what you're wanting out of these movies that's perfectly fine, but I can tell you what you've been saying you want you won't be getting.

[@jizzledoops6789]

I mean, the Fast movies don't even really have that much great character development either lol. MI 5 and 6 definitely step it up in that department, though.

[@pinoyguy75]

What movies are yall where F&F are anything but a dumb set of excuses for Vin Diesel to live out his D&D fantasies?

[@chrislopez5301]

Tim has been spoiled with shared universes and it shows

[@TyranBatten]

This is the movie that made me a fan of Mission Impossible, I'm disappointed Tim wasnt as into it as I was

[@wesker2nd]

Same, and the Mission Impossible movies after 3 are all better than any F & F movie!

[@TheBakerschannel]

Would have totally been ok with a delay in the episode to wait for Andy :(

[@RamblyBear]

I feel this so much.

[@S0mewhat_Damaged]

Tim: " These movies are not fun" Wat? honeslty? Cruise is literally hanging out of buildings, jumping between them lol

[@Arikaiden]

Tim is too biased comparing Mission Impossible and Fast and the Furious

[@bobabett8188]

Ya youd think Nick was comparing mi with citizen kane

[@realtooch]

Yeah it was reallying annoying me actually, I think he is being completely unfair about it...

[@chrislopez5301]

Raul Hernandez very true considering f&f has shit villians and is usually all action just like mi so i dont see his point

[@adamambro]

if it's not Pokeman or F&F, Tim won't like it

[@csmatrix007]

Totally agree. These movies are FAR superior to F&F movies anyways. Any normal person can see that.

[@BozoHarry]

Nick was right, can't believe this was ranked above MI:3!

[@chriscordova8215]

Yeah. I could not disagree more when they were saying that the villain in 3 was bad. 100% agree with Nick that Phillip Seymour Hoffman elevates that movie because he portrays that character so genuinely and always feels like he's in control.

[@MackRangerPower]

Tim, they are calling you a Fast fanboy because you are a fanboy.

[@DEMONATA1995]

These movies get better and better with each instalment

[@TheJthom182]

Tim prior to review: "my problem with this movie is.... It just doesn't... It's not as good as F&F...there's no excuse... But it isn't! " Tim during review: "Love it!.... This is fucking awesome!... What I loved about this... The theme song is awesome... So cool!" C'mon man, you love this series. Why is it so hard to admit!! Haha

[@bogzay]

Bogdan is the true hero of this movie. (No bias whatsoever)

[@hoemalone]

Hey guys, just wanted to thank you for all the funny videos you make and the joy it brings me. Everytime I have a rough day at work, you guys always can make me laugh.

[@radiospines]

Ok ... I love the KF crew ... but Tim is f’n weird. MI is leagues beyond Fast and Furious.

[@joehaley1147]

Wow, the first time I completely agree with Barrett about a movie opinion lol

[@chrislopez5301]

Im sure he’s doing just fine whether u agree with his opinion or not lol

[@joehaley1147]

@@chrislopez5301 God I hope so

[@P3RSUASION]

I just hope Tim comes to realize that the whole "reveal the plan then do it" is a staple in this series. Bc he doesn't enjoy that concept he seems to think that it's purely uncreative or bad action storytelling. I (like many people) love it for the same concept they show the movie in snippets during the theme... it lets you know you're in for a good time and the shock and aww isn't everything to me, but executing an espionage plan is cooler especially when the plot that they now made you assume will happen has changed due to some mishap. It makes you way more anxious to be in on the plan waiting for it to go right or go wrong, and makes the viewer feel like you are taking part in the plan. I get why Tim loves the FF series, but I think puts himself in a bad headspace by thinking about it so often. Don't compare how they go about plans and set pieces bc it's two different styles with two different purposes and Tim being the "master of hype" should objectively like the FF style more. I get having criticisms and that's the point of this series but I'm just afraid that by focusing on these points so much Tim is hampering his experience for the pieces he does love in these movies. I hope that isn't true and dammit i love these series' ( In Review and MI).

[@vinnybastos]

Ghost Protocol is actually my favorite one. Seeing the Burj Khalifa scene in IMAX was unreal

[@MackRangerPower]

vinícius bastos that scene gave me so much anxiety.

[@vinnybastos]

@@MackRangerPower I know! Even last Sunday, while rewatching the movie on my regular ass TV for the Third time, I was a bit anxious worrying for Tom Cruise

[@MackRangerPower]

@@vinnybastos Right? and you know how it ends??? How the hell didn't he fall and die?

[@CrAZyRaD]

I watch every big movie in IMAX because of this movie. My fear of heights kicked in and out was both a terrifying and amazing scene to watch unfold. Unfortunately, no movie since has even been remotely close to invoke a similar feeling of immersion.

[@MackRangerPower]

Radin Bashar the commercials for gravity messed me up pretty good but I never saw it. This movie was amazing.

[@yitoji]

I'm having a hard time watching this video. This movie flew by for me, it was fucking amazing.

44:10 Dead bodies sink, at least initially. They start floating once they've decomposed a bit, when bacteria form gasses within the body. Disclaimer: I didn't see the scene, idk how long the person was dead for. Also I don't know this from personal experience 😂

Maybe 35 seconds dead

[@Mike_L.]

@@tavinbothel5158 ah gotcha, thanks

[@LockmortEdits]

NOOOOOOOOO, ANDYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

[@MikeSW]

Tim really isn't taking in these movies on their own merits.

[@Black02]

I finally watched Ghost Protocol and now about to watch both Rogue Nation and Fallout for the first time, so now I can finally watch the rest of these!

[@jordankent6356]

Comparing fast and furious to mission impossible is completely 100% insulting to this franchise. How anyone can watch any fast and furious movie and think it comes remotely close to this movie is beyond baffling. I love F&F but let’s be real here. This is a film that, at the time it came out, revolutionized the action genre. But nevermind that, let’s go watch vin grumble his way through another line of dialogue about family and corona. Then watch a cgi fest of cars and more cars slam into each other and race every now and then. And then have a mechanic from LA become a super hero who somehow saves the world for the government. So damn realistic there. That story makes so much more sense than this. Comparing an action/spy movie where a man literally runs down a building 110 stories in the air (In real life, mind you) to F&F is just flat out wrong. They are nothing alike. At all. Quit going into these movies with this crazy notion that they’re alike and you’ll probably have a more realistic opinion. For the love of god. I don’t think I can listen to these anymore. Completely flabbergasted. Never disagreed more. Even after ranking Amazing Spider-Man 2 as high as they did. Wow

[@portionsforcam]

Ghost Protocol is incredible.

[@whoarewe3557]

I'm o n my lunch at work and just saw this you just made my day 😊😊

[@gregaltano6316]

Tim, these movies are about the SPECTACLE. Its like a stunt spectacular with a plot. It’s not la familia because that’s not what they’re going for at all.

[@rdfilms5]

Can I ask like what film did they watch like I put in the blu ray and it’s only 2hrs and 12mins long I wanna know where those extra 10mins are

[@khorne41]

In the final scene they stop the nuke just before it hits but Nukes detonate midair like a mile up so they'd have been about 6 seconds too late in real life. Captain Pedantic Awaaaaay!

[@MaximLight269]

Loved Tim's "Science! Science! Science with Kev! *i'm kevin!*"

[@gleekthemonkey4570]

I love Tim's doe eyed look whenever they try to piece together the plot of these movies.

[@MikeHeldTheWorld]

Not sure why he can't understand the plots of these movies. They're all pretty simple.

[@BlackJackRazak]

I think Ethan went double rogue because technically the jail OP was off book. Then the whole team went rogue during the Ghost Protocol. But I'm not a spy 🤟😎🤟

[@jackmacisback]

The one Andy was most hyped for and he isn't on it! I can't believe it! You guys should have waited. This is the best Mission Impossible movie and one of my fav movies of all time!

[@towmater1287]

I have one trivia correction: the end of the movie at the pier wasn’t filmed in Seattle, it was Granville Island in Vancouver. I remember because I was living there at the time, and they showed Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg on a Hockey Night in Canada broadcast taking in a Canucks game, and they acknowledged Tom Cruise and completely ignored Simon Pegg which made me chuckle

[@shadowpsyke]

Ghost Protocol was the first in the franchise that I watched, and it sounds like I was better off for it. The nods to the past films were understandable from context clues, and I had no expectations of where the film would go so I could just enjoy the ride.

[@ihatealexander]

I’d recommend a drinking game where you take a shot whenever Nick says “Paula Poundst- Paula Patton”, but that might get me arrested for unintentional mass murder.

[@directordan01]

Totally didn't know Paula Poundstone was in this movie

[@soshwoink2203]

This villains is not as cool as the one in MI:3 but the guys did not understood him. The guys is ULTRA-IQ, Special Force and Nuclear Physicist. The guy is a badass that outgunned and out match the IMF at every turns in the movie. And I loved the scene where he reveal himself with the mask because the look is more of annoyance toward Ethan, showing that he thinks himself to be better. (And his right hand was somewhere else getting the suitcase :P ) I LOVE this movie and loved this bad guy!

[@jackmacisback]

You guys describing the burj khalifa scene is just as intense as watching it! haha I need to watch it again!

[@hugopinai2005]

In my opinion the Mission Impossible franchise blows Fast and Furious out of the water, and it might also be the best franchise KF have done for in review. I care more about the MCU but there are a lot more not fantastic movies compared to MI.

[@ki700]

Hard to compare this to the MCU, as MI hasn't had as many chances to screw up. I'd argue there's only two objectively bad movies in the MCU, but in my personal opinion there are three. Three out of 21 means that 14% of the MCU is bad, versus one objectively bad MI movie out of the six, making 17% bad movies. It's really about the same. That said, I do think that the MCU is a lot more ambitious. While MI has done some things to really stick it to Marvel, like the continued use of insane practical effects in the MI movies, the MCU really blows MI out of the water in terms of storytelling, character development, and investment. I think that they're both great franchises, and I hope to see both continue for a long time, but I'd not only argue that the MCU and MI are equal in quality, but that the MCU is a better franchise overall.

[@hugopinai2005]

ki70000 Yeah I totally agree, that’s why I said it might even be better pound for pound, in the sense that if you compare them in terms of moviemaking MI is probably a little more impressive than the MCU in almost everything except for storytelling and visuals (which isn’t a fair comparison considering marvel can do fantasy and sci-fi), but the MCU makes you care about its characters and story a lot more. So I would say that they are pretty equal at the end of the day

[@hugopinai2005]

My comment was more about how MI is so much better than fast and furious ahah

[@ki700]

hugo pinai Agree with you there. I really don’t care for Fast at all. MI has a lot more to love IMO. I wish they’d done MI first, as I think Greg wouldn’t have got burnt out on In Review if they’d done a different series.

[@hugopinai2005]

@@ki700 Just in terms of action direction, stunt work and practical effects I think this series has some of the strongest movies out there in recent years. The only film that does it better is probably Fury Road

[@christophersykora3601]

I disagree with your fundamental premise, Tim. It’s better that the team changes up every movie because it provides new creative ground for writers and actors. Is it fully capitalized upon? No. Should it be commended? Yes! The director changes every movie, and the team reflects that. One of the defining features of these movies is that they aren’t very connected, and that’s great. I don’t want everything to be a connected universe and have continuity. Give me a good story with interesting characters. I feel like these movies have that in spades above FF or any other action franchise. I also disagree that these movies are hard to follow. I saw this movie when I was young, and I understood everything just fine. 5-8 are going to feel more connected because of Christopher Mcquarrie, but I think the individuality of 1-4 should be relished.

[@poneng]

IIRC. wasnt this movie supposed to be Tom Cruise passing on the series to Renner, but they changed their mind

[@neojd]

poneng That’s what it said on the Amazon notes

[@hmood07]

I am 5 minutes in but I don't think I will continue. This is one of the best action movies and the comparison with Fast & Furious is just insulting! My god Tim! WTF are you guys talking about. I was really looking forward to this but I should've known, unless it's marvel Nick & Tim opinions are usually bat shit crazy

[@NOVA92x]

Starting with Rogue Nation, MI becomes Christopher McQuarrie's series and I think Tim will start to find the consistency he's looking for.

[@andrepierre9169]

Hey Tim it’s convoluted because it’s called Mission Impossible!!!

[@RamblyBear]

Ha haha. Tim: I have trouble following whats happening in these movies. Also Tim: I wish they would stop explaining what they were doing before they do it. Love you Tim, but I had to lel.

[@markadnan4499]

Maybe these movies are better suited with the years apart. I haven't watched along and don't repeat view them. Only watch them in theaters and have a blast

[@TyranBatten]

I really enjoyed watching them all again. There's not a lot of continuity until you get to 4, 5 and 6

[@jasonandrews1770]

Had to stop the vid and watch that tower scene right away

[@joehaley1147]

FYI, the title sequence for the first M:I film didn't use deleted footage, all those scenes were in the movie. The scene with Ethan and Claire is when Ethan is searching her in the hotel. THERE IS NO MAKE OUT/ SEX SCENE BETWEEN THEM IN THE MOVIE.

[@jackmacisback]

We needed Andy these guys are shitting so much on this movie

[@mkzTx]

I think Tim is going to really like rogue nation and love fallout

[@jordankent6356]

mkzTx he’ll probably spend the entire time talking shit about them and saying fast and furious 6 is a superior movie than both. Then proceed to rank them number one after dragging them through the mud the entire episode for some reason. Just infuriating

[@dylanh8163]

Fun fact, I'm like 90% sure this episode is why I started using Pocketcast

[@MikeHeldTheWorld]

Mission Impossible has never really been about having a team. It's about Ethan Hunt being a super spy and Tom Cruise doing stunts. If you go into it looking for the same team/family vibe you get from movies like Fast and Furious you wiil be disappointed. These are not team movies. They're Ethan Hunt/Tom Cruise movies.

Not a great villan but props to him for jumping off of the ledge in order to save the nuke.

Ghost Protocol came out the same year as Fast Five, so the Fast series was just really getting good the same year.

Andy what happened?

[@Holodrone]

The title sequence was CG with clips from the film, the CG is a bit basic but I took that as Brad Bird wanting it to be more exaggerated like an animation. Hardly any of the clips are of bits with CGI. Tim why so negative?! And this film has humour running through it like a stick of rock! I'm baffled, Tim says the movie's not fun but then loves all the funny bits :D

[@Big420Tex]

This movie is fucking awesome!

[@CresentSoul]

Tim thinks of movies on such a basic level. He does 1 to 1 comparisons to f&f movies. Those movies try to be soenthing else. Not all movies are abojt a group of friends calling themselves family. Mission impossible is an action espinoonage films. Tim getting fixated on whether the same teams members are carried over between films is a faulty prioritisation of what matters to the quality of a film

Oh, this my favourite of the franchise (Fallout is a very close second). The film has its flaws but to me, the action sequences, pacing (up to the end of the Dubai sequence), and tension absolutely outshine the flaws (simple villain and 3rd act not as strong as 2nd).

Everybody’s hating on Tim’s comments but I get what he’s talking about. 🤷🏻‍♂️ This is my least favorite so far. Wasn’t feeling the plot and the villain.

[@Holodrone]

The whole thing with Mission Impossible prior to Rogue Nation was that each film was a unique take on the formula. They deliberately didn't bring characters back and each film had its own style. IMO it goes downhill after this cos Rogue Nation stuck with the Ghost Protocol template so it felt stale, and Fallout went Nolan-esque, it was too joyless for an MI movie.

People saying they are going to stop watching because somebody at the table has a different opinion then you just need to go step out in front of a bus. You seriously can't handle somebody having a different opinion then you. I 100% agree that Tim is crazy in thinking F&F is better than MI. How he can overlook all the stupid dumb shit in F&F and then say this movie is only ok honestly doesn't compute in my head. But why should that stop me from watching them? I don't suddenly hate Tim now because we disagree on movie franchises. Tim thinks guns should be banned, I own 4. That's a way bigger issue that actual means something in the real world but i'm still a best friend (a very inactive one). What I hate more than any of it is this uber PC, safe space, echo chamber bullshit. We can be different, have different opinions, not agree and still be ok.
