[@jacksoncihamovies3279]

I loved this movie. I like that it’s more spy and espionage than action. I’d give it a 9.5/10

[@JB-nj2wr]

Very underrated

[@awesomeblossom2417]

I saw this in the theatre, and to be honest, I hated it because it gave an F U to the fans of the show. The show was all about the team. This movie made Jim Phelps the bad guy and killed off his team. I didn't watch another MI movie until MI4.

[@sr.little2128]

I gave a 7/10, it's a awesome movie with some problems, but fucc it! It's awesome!

[@Cringleberg]

I hate big business bullies. "Were gonna pick on a KZbinr when they use A TRAILER we supplied to the public." No sense at all. Anyways, Great video Chris keep on keeping on!

[@Ayvee1138]

Right? Naah we dont want free publicity!

[@TheAdditionalPylons]

***** I can only only up vote your comment once. damn

[@Ayvee1138]

***** ahahhahahah that was great

[@HMSConqueror]

+Cringle Berg welcome to the 21 century, where the white collar thief and their corporations is the only really free man.

[@DropBombsInOctagons]

This first one was my favorite of them all. Just had a different feel to it compared to the other films.

[@thingsicantfind9545]

It's just the ending train chase that drags it down a bit

[@johnjsal]

The reason I've always heard for the sequels being more action-oriented (and thus so different from this one) was that a lot of people complained that the story in the first movie was too complicated to follow. But just like Chris says, what's wrong with that? Not overly complicated by any means, just more complex than the average movie-goer wants to deal with, I guess. You can tell MI2 made a concerted effort to keep things super simple.

[@metcalftraining]

Nahhhh bro all are amazing but fallout is insane

[@HOTD108_]

@Trips You're doing Fallout a MASSIVE disservice by dismissing it as just a "popcorn flick".

[@stsolomon618]

Yeah i agree

[@benkalem]

Cruise is just a phenomenal action actor. His willingness to go that extra mile to get some impossible shots, it's really admirable. On top of that, you don't really have anyone who is as consistently good in everything he does, be it comedy or drama or whatever.

[@paolothorpe1461]

Adam Sandler, Vince Vaughn, Jim Carrey are all good in those

[@thatguy1860]

I really appreciate your comment, cruise his filmography is insane and I don't remember even 1 movie that wasn't good or great. Truly crazy how good it is.

[@lonestarfriend]

I really enjoyed the old-school feel and look of this movie. The use of shadow and light in the nighttime street scenes was amazing.

[@bradf994]

I never realized Ethan Hunt hadn't fired a gun all movie. I don't think that can be said for any other movie in the series. Chris, your review was especially interesting when you noticed technical details of the film. I think this was your best review I've ever seen. I wish you had the same time for reflection on the newly released films as you did here. It be great to hear your thoughts on older films more often.

[@JaydevRaol]

Yeah I didn't noticed it either.

[@michaelgauthier2593]

Correct, I remember reading that M:I-2 was the first movie that he ever actually fired a gun in.

[@chriskindler10]

I think it's actually a cool idea if you re-review some movies like Inception. (with spoilers) I'd love to watch that Chris, please think about doing it!

[@cyrusbarik3880]

Yeah an in depth review of Inception would be great

[@OMGYasuke]

Chris Kindler He should review goodfellas

[@Solarstar10]

Hey Chris, your profile pic is fucking awesome, and your idea for him re reviewing films sounds great. 👍👍👍

[@ericcartmansh]

Steve Jobs YES!

[@FranQuijas]

Inception is simple, it doesn't need a deep review

[@CromConsultants]

Having Emilio Estevez in the beginning of the movie was a really smart move, at the time Emilio was a pretty big star and had his own following, so as the audience saw him they think, Oh this is an Emilio Estevez movie, then he dies suddenly and unceremoniously, it sets up the movie very well, it makes you feel that you don't know what to expect.....Kathryn Bigelow did the same thing casting Guy Pierce for the opening scene in the Hurt Locker..

[@CromConsultants]

Yeah, Barrymore in Scream is probably the best example.....I don't know if you watch True Detective, and ill try to be ambiguous with this so to keep it spoiler free...but in the season running now I thought they were doing the same thing at the end of the second or third episode, I was kinda bummed when I was wrong.

[@guileniam]

All the posters had tom cruise it was always a cruise first movie. The surprise I'm guessing was how small Emilio was in it.

[@journey95far49]

the start of an iconic franchise, doubt anyone expected it to go for this long back then. MI is more popular now than ever before

[@markusbisma5015]

A classic movie, watch in on theaters when I was a kid. That Tom cruise hanging on a rope scene is one of my all time favorite scene ever

[@RubenTricky]

I think this movie is pretty underated. I know a lot of people who hate this movie.

[@movieace1295]

MCruben3000 Agree. One of my favorites and hugely underrated.

[@samhynninen]

Really? I know people hate 2 but 1? Nonetheless, very good movie

[@OrangeUtan1]

MCruben3000 I recently watched it because the only mission impossible movie I had watched was ghost protocol. I found it very hard to watch. Ghost protocol was definitely better. I had to put the subtitles on to follow the plot and I was still confused.

[@movieace1295]

tanks gaming why?

[@OrangeUtan1]

MovieAce I struggle to understand what people are saying so that made it hard to follow the plot. I didn't expect it to be a pure spy movie I thought it was an action movie. Im not saying the movie is bad. I had to read it on the internet to understand the plot.

[@OfficialDevTips]

I've been re-watching the films this week and I've got to say I agree with every point you made. I just found your channel and I think this is the second or so video I've watched. I'm really excited to hear you talk about the kind of shots and editing used in films. I love learning about that kind of thing.

[@RJreviews]

I loved 1st, fucking hated the 2nd, really liked 3, and once again loved the 4th.

[@tomerohanabentzvi9866]

RJ reviews same

[@user-gz3qd3jn4r]

RJ reviews 2nd was crap but entertaining in its shittynes, but by far the worst MI movie

[@meddle903]

LOL mi2 was fine you must be a faggot, way to be original to diss mi:2 like every clueless kids do

[@S.R.A.B0XER]

khav ll let people have their opinions, yeah MI2 isn't that bad, but they can think what they want.

[@khav11]

their opinions suck shit lmao MI2 is a cult movie today still enjoyable to put that baby on the good old dvd player

[@matrixandraia]

I saw this movie in the theater twice. It's my favorite, alongside Ghost Protocol. It took me many viewings to finally catch on that Ethan was saying one thing while thinking another. Brilliant movie, and the whole CIA infiltration scene? Fantastic.

[@lasthavoc]

This is still not only my favorite Mission Impossible film, but one of my favorite spy films, and one of my favorite action films. While the other MI movies are solid (except MI2) they have started to become a bit more typical summer blockbuster action in tone (although very well done), while this movie feels more espionage focused and smart. It's also the one movie of the franchise where Ethan isn't heralded like some kind of legend super spy by his peers. He's just another asset among other IMF team members, and not so seemingly invulnerable. Not to mention the movie is filmed spectacularly.

[@nikocross7673]

lasthavoc Yeah the first Mission Impossible is a pretty good espionage spy movie. It actually kind of reminds of the movie Enemy of the State with the tension, suspense and the protagonist on the run. MI1 is the best one in the series but I like the other ones except for the 2nd one. I hope that Rogue Nation will bring some of that suspense back with notably a better threat and villain, as the trailers, it seems like there's more at stake this time. Ghost Protocol was fun but it had a bland villain and I didn't get a true sense that things were at stake and true to it's title the Missions didn't feel like they were near to impossible for Ethan and company to do.

[@lasthavoc]

Yea, don't get me wrong, I like MI3 and Ghost Protocol. But while they're very well done summer blockbusters, they've become more about cool set pieces, and action, rather than than smart espionage thrillers supplemented by action. The entire first act of the original MI when they're in Prague, and being set up is one of the most riveting and perfect spy scenarios I've seen in a film. When Hunt asks Kittredge about the other IMF team and realized it was a mole hunt, I immediately wanted to watch that entire scene again to spot the other agents and see figure out what actually happened. It's a thinking audience's action film. But the sequels still great movies regardless.

[@nikocross7673]

lasthavoc Yeah, I'm looking forward to Rogue Nation, how about you.

[@lasthavoc]

Definitely. If you're going to make a summer blockbuster film MI is a franchise that typically stands apart from the rest as far as story, action, and effects.

[@nikocross7673]

lasthavoc I feel you

[@00mboren]

Before The Hateful Eight comes out you should rely do reviews for all of Quentin Tarantino's movies like you did before David Fincher´s Gone Girl came out.

[@spaceodds3174]

It's been nearly 20 years since Mission:Impossible was first released, and it's still my favourite one (so far) The film is a great espionage thriller that has utilizes traditional cold war spy thriller aesthetics and tries to update them to the post cold war world of confusion, betrayel, and loss. The set pieces are brilliant, with the stand out being in the breaking into the CIA vault, which pays homage to the quiet, suspence filled heist scenes of French crime thrillers such as Jules Dassin's Rififi and Jean Pierre Melville's The Red Circle. Rhames was born to play Luther, just like Cruise was born to play Hunt. With that exception the film's other characters get little to do as shown in the beginning of the film, Emilio Estevez and Kristin Scott Thomas being killed off so earlier on, whilst Jean Reno (then fresh from his starring role in Leon) just smirks, grins and behaves like a Frenchman. Overall an exciting spy yarn that came out just at the right time (The film was released a few months after Goldeneye, which kind of brought back a re-interest in 007 and the spy genre in general) The film is fantastic, however despite being based on the TV series, I actually found it to be far removed from the show. The plan and the mission are sorted out in twenty odd minutes, and we are instead left with the aftermath. In fact the film that really tries to follow the structure of the tv show was Inception. Just look at that film, the mission/offer, the recruiting of a team, the planning, the doubt, the mission, things not going according to plan. Sure Mission Impossible never used dream sharing, but the structure of the tv show really shows in Inception.

[@FilmLearnin]

Same thing happened to me with Fox Chris, flagged my Gone Girl review for having 11 seconds of footage from the trailer with no audio.

Happy 20th Anniversary MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE!

[@sirlancelotmcbutt7150]

Please review Magnolia, simply Cruise`s best performance.

[@samhynninen]

He should review all PTA movies

[@jameswilliams-of3mv]

..Cruise's best performance is Born on the 4th of July

[@Dattyification]

Sir Lancelot Mcbutt "Respect the cock and tame the cunt!" Pure quality. PTA really gets the best out of actors. Boogie Nights - best Mark Wahlberg and Burt Reynolds performances. Punch Drunk Love - best Adam Sandler performance. The Master - best Joaquin Phoenix performance(well, this is debatable I guess).

[@jonathanblaze1648]

Sir Lancelot Mcbutt It's close between 4th of July. But I'd have to go with Magnolia as his best performance. He should have won the Oscar, not Michael Caine.

[@Locadel2003]

What about tropic Thunder 😂

[@sepse7en261]

My dad took me to see this when it premiered, we were in San Jose, Ca where I'm from. I never watched any of the Mission Impossible series but my dad did and loved them. So this meant a lot to him. Me on the other hand, just knew it was a new action movie based on a show with Tom Cruise and it looked good. Til this day, it's one of three films that I got to experience and by the end my heart stopped. It was a complicated film for me at the time, I was 11 and knew nothing of the show but holy shit. What an amazing movie. And now one of my favorite films and series of films. Red light, green light....explosion....Ethan flies towards the train and grabs on...then the helicopter explodes and Leon The Professional is done for...Ethan sees the helicopter coming at him and that blade stops right in front of his throat....still gives me chills...I love it. Absolutely love it! I've never at the time seen anything like that on the big screen. I'm so glad I got to share that experience with my dad.

[@eeshita201125]

I watched it yesterday for the first time. Clearly, I've been missing out all these years. It is an amazing movie. I was socked to find out that it was released the year I was born. And not just because I didn't know it was that old, but also because its very well made, very realistic. Very smart too. I understood the part about quoting the Bible too (not sure if I'm right, though) Max said that Job wasn't known to quote it in his letters. Never said anything about him not quoting it at all. He clearly did know the Bible well because... he got his name from somewhere, right?

[@CalebByRamen]

I FREAKING LOVE this movie! I can't believe i don't own it! It is seriously one of my favorite movies of all time. Thanks for the awesome review and refresher on a truly timeless movie.

[@IdiocyShow]

This is a VERY underrated film! My Grade an A as well!

[@shivamsrivastava6312]

This movie is not underrated at all, everyone knows it's a great film.

[@paolovillanuevamd]

Yeah. It's about as underrated as A New Hope.

[@IdiocyShow]

Paolo Francisco Villanueva I hardly hear people talk about it when they talk about the film franchise!

[@paolovillanuevamd]

@@IdiocyShow um coz it IS the film franchise. If this film was not regarded by audiences as good there would be no franchise. Just because people like to talk about the subsequent films more doesn't make the first one underrated. Almost no one talks about the derpier 1st Fast and Furious movie, doesn't mean it's underrated.

[@IdiocyShow]

Paolo Francisco Villanueva well to me it’s underrated, if you don’t think so, that’s fine!

[@cooleo1c]

I was hoping you'd share your thoughts on Jim Phelps (the hero protagonist from the tv series) being the main villain. Especially since you mentioned that you watched the tv show.

[@ScarecrOmega]

I rank them like this: 1 - MI:3 2 - MI:1 3 - MI:GP 4 - MI:2

[@rafaelpun]

+The Scarecrow More like: MI:4 (GP) MI:1 MI:3 MI:2

[@84dagami]

Yeah I always defends this movie's difficulty. A lot of people thought this movie was too difficult to follow but I never understood that. The movie doesn't cheat, it gives you everything you need to know and it all fits... A very underrated movie. I think a lot of people didn't understand how smart this movie is.

[@erc5445]

Good review man, I'm glad people like you actually do old movie reviews. I always look for video reviews for old movies but since youtube wasn't around nobody bothered making them. My love and understanding of films has increased since I started watching your videos, keep up the great job.

[@DjangoFett33]

God, i need to watch this great classic again.

[@boolocklock]

I have the fourth film as my overall favorite with M:I 1 as my 2nd favorite. 2 and 3 are good too but the 2nd one is the one I liked the least. I enjoyed that Mission: Impossible was a smart action thriller that made you think.

[@DAOSullivan]

After this review I really want to watch Mission: Impossible again, I haven't seen it in a while. I agree that it's one of the best in the series and a really good action movie

[@17spyguy]

I don't know if you've done a Minority Report review, but I would love to see that.

[@FrancoisDressler]

I second this! I heard in an old video that it is Chris' favorite Spielberg film.

[@Gavin48]

Max said he didn't quote scripture in his E-Mails. She never said he didn't say it verbally

[@cllifjumperPT]

Gavin48 My thoughts exactly :)

[@shibby-not-available]

Still, he wouldn't need the bible with him, if he didn't quote in his E-Mails. That is the confusing part for me... And I think that's what Chris meant!?

[@Romans8-9]

​​@@shibby-not-availabletill doesn't make sense. If they were communicating over the phone. Why the need to email each other? If they were contacting by phone, she could have just verified with the real max if the email had come from him. Also quoting Bible verses on a phone call with an arms dealer is a bit odd.

[@gregshedd7629]

Hey Chris I really love when you do these like series of reviews they are really fun and I always look forward to the next ones!

[@danaberry149]

My biggest problem with this movie is the cinematography actually, it has a pixelated, dull image that almost looks like I'm watching it on VHS even though I have the blu ray.

[@footbal5473]

yeah i found that the blu ray transfer isn't great. Good movie though!

[@KinoNapovedniki]

Man, you are amazing Chris Stuckmann!!!! Keep doing what you're doing :)

[@5ick5imon]

Great review man. You should do more spoiler talks, where you actually analyze details like framing etc. I find that really interesting and it makes me appreciate the film much more.

[@brendanhickeymovies]

I recently revisited all the MI films on my channel as well. It's a truly wonderful spy series that although stellar all around, get's better with each entry and I can't wait for the next entry. keep up the great work Chris, your a huge inspiration.

[@Elementa2006]

I've seen this movie once a long time ago, what ruined it for me was the fact they turned Jim Phelps (the main character from the original series) into the traitor and main villain of the film, to me that's like turning either Captain Kirk or Spock villains in a Star Trek film.

[@SageSea1]

This movie was great in the fact that it was different than the action we've seen in the past 4 movies. It was smarter and calmer. A little too smart at times and that bad helicopter cgi at the end but being cruise's first stunt expert role and the general age of the movie, I excuse these things, more so than 90s films that aged poorly rather than well. Most people have probably seen the newer films before thinking about seeing this one and that just hurts it because nobody was expecting the franchise to go this way when the first film was the big deal. For what it is, Id say its excellent.

[@xjusticegamingchannel9783]

I think this movie is a classic.

[@gaberauch1323]

This has always been one of my favorite movies. I really like Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation, but I've always remembered the particular tension and suspense in this one, always makes it stand out.

[@milesbennettdyson]

My thoughts exactly about the train sequence and the title theme; I only wish more movies still did this. It worked in the Tim Burton Batman movies, it worked in The Lord of the Rings trilogy (the Hobbiton theme when Sam carries Frodo in shadow of Mount Doom was GLORIOUS). I think a lot of film producers forget that films are performances, artistic works and not just approximations of real life. We respond to the structure of movies in just the same way as we do the structure of songs or of a novel.

[@TeslaRoger]

Agree with you 100%. You're by far my favorite movie reviewer, though it probably helps that you seem to be my long lost twin or something.

[@bmw128racer]

Great review redux, Chris. Looking forward to the others... Especially the missing "Ghost Protocol" review.

[@beatrixwilliams3327]

Thanks for this review! It's nice to see you talking about something that isn't brand new (and isn't a hilariocity, either). What I really like about the "Mission: Impossible" franchise is that the movies are basically getting better (except that I (like most people) think that the first film is better than the second), which is rare, especially when there are more than three films in a series. "Ghost Protocol" was really good, and I think it will be difficult for "Rogue Nation" to be better, but I'm still hoping for that.

[@mttmks]

Ving Rhames as Luther was my favorite part of Mission Impossible. I loved everything about his character. I never even realized that Ethan never fired a bullet until you mentioned it. It's very interesting considering that 99% of spy and action thriller heroes spray bullets everywhere. It really shows the kind of spy Hunt was. A good spy's greatest weapon should be his mind, and Mission Impossible proved it here.

[@KyleGauntReviews]

This is one of my favorite movies of the late 90's!! I love it and believe it's extremely underrated and I'm glad you agree!!!

[@RafaelMoralesjr73]

Tom Cruise, Brian de Palma, U2’s Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen and the theme song created by Lalo Schifrin; what’s not to like!!! One of my favorite from this series (I will pinned it as number 1). I love that they kept the original series feel. Suspense to the max! Love it!

[@swanpride]

I have a huge problem with the movie and the whole series: The Title. Mission impossible was never about one hero, it was about the team. If you see it removed from that, it is good. But mission Impossible? Not really

[@santiagovare]

swanpride Ghost Protocol did the whole team thing very well I thought.

[@Gogito4]

swanpride Ghost Protocol is what you are after.

[@santiagovare]

***** Also in Ghost Protocol every action scene is given a very specific and unique twist that makes it stand out. It's a phenomenal action movie.

[@Godslayer1975]

swanpride are you demented so is the movie , its all about the team how they all pull it off working together . stop watching movies if your that slow that you think it was about Ethan hunt only and sorry but watch the original TV show its about the team but the one agent was always at the fore front . some people just are not as smart as they think

[@swanpride]

***** It's actually my favourite one, too. The only one which feels right for me. (yeah, I am watching them, but more in a "I am bored oh, look what's on TV, let's see what they did this time around" manner)

[@alistairlock8063]

Just started watching the mission impossible films with my dad and so far it’s a great start to the franchise for me. Looking forward to the other five!

It had all of the nostalgia from the series and it is truly a quintessential 90's action film that still holds up to this day. As always, keep up the amazing work!

[@ToonJukka]

Really great analytical review for the first Mission: Impossible film. I enjoyed it highly when I saw it in 90s and as a thriller its top notch. Looking forward to your review videos about the rest of the film franchise! :)

This was my favorite film of the series.

[@TheTeenBeauty101]

Do more reviews of classic movies, love them!!

[@ComandoPadentro]

Hey Chris! I just wanted to say: Congrats, awesome review! I love this movie... the whole series, actually (yes, even the second one) And what I loved about the series is that No movie feels like a copy of the one before. All of them have different styles and different tones And I can enjoy them each individually. For instance, what you said about this one being one of your favorite action movies... I don't consider this one a "action" movie, to me it's more of a suspense heist/spy film. But that's just me. The second one on the other hand: very much an action movie. Keep it up dude, love your work.

[@delfin7461]

When it came out I hated it for killing the whole IMF team at the beginning of the film. In retrospect it's a good action film. Funny how there are probably people who only know Tom Cruise as an action guy!!!

[@dadocta5168]

Is Chris going to do the same thing with the Star Wars movies? because I was about to check his reviews out 5mins ago but they are no longer on his channel.

[@dfbizzle]

Excellent review, Chris! I’m super excited for this one.

[@Spartan_1_17]

Great review Chris. Can't wait for the other three.

[@movieace1295]

Very good review, and I'm totally agree this is one of my favorite movies of all time. And I get pissed when people say MI4 is clearly the best, I'm not saying that is wrong but there should defiantly be a discussion about it. I love SUSPENSE in movies, especially in action that's a thing which are lacking in most action movies.

[@movieace1295]

MovieAce Also I love DePalma but M:I is the last good movie he has made.

[@codyreitsma2184]

MovieAce I agree with you on the seeming consensus of MI4 being the best now, I would still probably go with the first one. The fourth one is exciting and entertaining, but I think the first one is just the best overall film in the series and is masterfully crafted with a lot of suspense and subtlety.

[@supoa9489]

This Generation is getting slower in mind by the minute too used to action movies with overblown effects to them means its good movie

[@jayjaysworld7110]

MovieAce uh yeah MI 4 is good but Paula Patton’s character is so boring and Jeremy renner’s character is awesome

[@monkeymandogthing]

Wow.. that was a really good review. You had some really good points, especially the one about being forced to pay attention. I like that too, like in Ghost in the Shell (which I saw based on your recommendation and loved it) or in Blade Runner. Also can you do a review of Silence of the Lambs? It's one of my favorite movies of all time, and I would love to hear you talk about it.

[@efnarios]

Everytime Ving Rhames appears on screen I just keep thinking of Marsellus Wallace XD

[@Fearless-Hyena]

I still loved MI 2 . Cheesy and beautiful.

[@jayjaysworld7110]

Rig did you just say it’s cheesy and beautiful nooo mission impossible 2 is hands down the best mission impossible film ever and plus thandie Newton was great in that film

[@pawlack]

An I'm still waiting for hilarosity review of Vampire's Kiss with Nicolas Cage :(

[@terrysilvester4720]

Are you going to review Ex Machine? Saw it a couple of months ago and its a brilliant film

[@Thush007]

Excellent review, Chris. Really enjoyed it. The first film is still my favourite of the four by quite a margin. I think the choice of De Palma really made the difference.

[@PULRN]

I enjoyed everything from the first M:I movie from its score to its videogame. I also LOVED to play it on the N64. I got to play it again as an adult and was able to beat it on the hardest difficulty. I had a lot of fun with it and plan on playing the PS1 version in the future. Another fun M:I game was on Lego Dimentions. The train sequence was almost as intense as the original scene. It was cool to hear how you enjoyed playing the N64 version. It doesn't get talked about a lot.

I think this is an amazing film. Wonderful cast and great intense scenes. When I was young I used to watch it a hundred times with my mom and I'm still not tired of it. It's quite impressive to create a timeless movie like that.

When I think of this movie as a whole I think it's an average action film, but when it's dissected piece by piece I really admire this film even more. I saw this like 4-5 years ago and the only thing I didn't like about was(like Chris said) how the internet worked in that world, it truly was laughable.

The only mission impossible movies I have seen is the third one and Ghost Protocal. Which leads me to a question. Which is better, the first one or the second one? I am gonna watch either for sure before the new one comes out. Not to review it, just for fun.

[@KALIMAindia]

The first!

[@harrisonbannerman7412]

***** The first for sure.

[@jonathanblaze1648]

***** The first one is great. You can completely skip MI2.

[@alexsc7187]

Yay a suggestion by me has been done!!! lol

[@alexsc7187]

Lurch150 thatd be good haha

[@captainjakemerica4579]

Did you suggest this Alex?

[@jaimonjohn2516]

Lot of people have no idea Brian de Palma directed it underrated filmmaker.

[@Aramishhh]

The passion you show in this video about this movie makes me want to watch it again. The first and only time I did was like ten years ago, and yep, I didn't undertand most of the plot..... I thought the movie just didn't make any sense.....

[@jamesatkinsonja]

The reviews have certainly improved since he took the trailers out. Nice to see he's doing these again. Wonder if he'll do Broken arrow again

[@HyperLikeZen]

I know you don't usually review documentaries on your channel, but I'd love to know your thoughts on "Going Clear". Love your channel, keep up the great work!

[@brianpso]

Hey Chris, I've been following you since your video about the things that are wrong with actions movies nowadays, and already got to what a lot of great movies based on your videos. So since your opinion is something that I really consider before/after watching a movie, could you say what you thought about Mr. Nobody? In case you watched of course.

[@movieace1295]

brianpso Yes Mr.Nobody thought no one has seen it :P One of my favorite scifi movies.

[@FrozenFOXX]

Agree with right about everything you said, this and Ronin are two of my absolute favorite action movies.

[@freebee8221]

All mission impossible movies are awesome except the second one

[@caparisplato4536]

Love your videos, Chris.

[@saxbend]

There are loads of people who've never read the Bible who can quote "Thou shalt not covet..." as it's so well known. It's perfectly plausible for a character to quote a very famous line and still need to look up other quotes.

[@skinnersweet1263]

You're totally right on this 1st installment of "Mission Impossible". Very classy spy film !! I'm glad that you mentioned De Palma's film making skills.

[@Ipwn2345]

Man, Chris' account gets better every month!!

[@lucascraig8761]

This is totally unrelated to the video, but could you please do a review of "In Bruges." It's so f***ing good.

[@Krusiv]

Rewatching this years later I am amazed at the pacing despite people hating on it for not being action-y enough. Great movie!

[@commandershepard485]

Love your reviews !!!

[@GTONeko]

Saw the movie in theaters years ago, and the part with the security room is still for me, the best movie moment with how almost everyone in the theater, gasped at the part with the knife dropping. Still a recommended movie for me to this date, despite how so many people may bash it.

[@frankyhardt6026]

Hey Chris, can you make a review on HEAT? ...which is my favorit movie

[@BeatupMckillyoustein]

Yo chris, your shirts are fantastic. Where do you buy them?

[@rtchidc]

Good review points. I first saw the movie in a theater in May 1996 at age 22, with almost no prior familiarity with the original tv series or the late '80s revival. My only major complaint is that the final bullet train action finale seems incongruous with the rest of the movie, as if Paramount dictated that it needed a big closing action sequence (which the trailer could also highlight) to make it look more like a summer action blockbuster than otherwise originally intended, or as most of the movie plays.
