It kickstarted everything, was a classic feel spy thriller and had a complex, intelligent plot.

[@matthewjordan7297]

These films are so consistent in terms of quality that they are very difficult for me to rank. I hold the first Mission: Impossible in high regard. Yes, there's some nostalgia to that, but Brian De Palma is also an excellent director, and I think he brought his A-game to that film. It is the only film in the franchise that is a spy movie first, and an action movie second. I also think this is Tom Cruise's strongest performance as Ethan Hunt - watch how he is in the aftermath of his team being wiped out, his devastation, rage and paranoia are so palpable! In the end, it comes down to what people want from these films.

I think this is the longest franchise I've followed where I've seen all in theaters. I was about 10 when the first came out and loved it. The sequel I was looking forward to because it was to be directed by John Woo and Face/Off was my favorite movie before I saw The Matrix. Even at the age of 13 or 14, I thought it fell way short of the first one.. I've been doing a rewatch and my ranking has changed quite a bit, but the first remains my favorite. That may have a lot to do with nostalgia but when I think of the franchise, I think of the highlights from the first film (okay, it's definitely nostalgia). 2-4 are interchangeable and haven't seen Dead Reckoning yet. MI2 is the only film I consider to fall short. 1. Mission Impossible 2. Rogue Nation 3. Fallout 4. Ghost Protocol 5. Mission Impossible 3 (Hoffman was a great villain) 6. Mission Impossible 2

1. MI 4 -Ghost Protocol The entire Burj Khalifa sequence is my favorite of the series. But not just Cruise climbing the building but the heist as a whole as well, the gadgets not working, which happened throughout the film, followed by the chase through the sand storm, perfectly done. The opening is my favorite of the series, with the escape from the prison and the great Light and the Fuse intro. Lastly, the ending works best as Hunt looks across to see Julia from afar before he moves on to the next mission. You don't have to see the other MI films to enjoy Ghost Protocol, but it remembers them. 2. MI 6 Fallout: What puts this ahead is the score for me. It's the best in the series. I enjoyed the theme of one life vs. all life and how that played into the story. The scene where he saves the French cop is a highlight. 3. MI 5 Rogue Nation: The opera scene is one of the best in the entire series and elevates this movie for me on that alone. 4. MI Dead Reckoning Part 1 5. MI (1996) 6. MI 3 7. MI 2

As a point of reference, I watched and took notes on all of these movies over the last two weeks and a half weeks. These are my updated thoughts on all of these films. 7. Mission: Impossible II-While I don’t think that this movie is the gutter trash that some people make it out to be, it’s by a landslide the worst film in this franchise that feels a lot more like a John Woo action movie instead of an espionage, spy film As a point of reference, I would give the rest of these movies a B+ or higher 6. Mission: Impossible-Because of how this franchise has expanded and evolved from this movie, I can’t rank this movie particularly high on this list, but this is still a very good movie that lays the foundation for this franchise quite well 5. Mission: Impossible III-Despite this movie releasing when Cruise had a fall from grace, this is a rock solid entry to the franchise that has exciting setpieces, an interesting journey for Ethan, and a great performance from Philip Seymour Hoffman 4. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol-When you put it all together, it has all of the very enjoyable team dynamic, over the top action, plot twists, Tom Cruise stunts, and fun gadgets and sequences to make for an awesome addition to this franchise 3. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1-Yet another awesome addition to this franchise that has a very engaging plot, solid humor, high stakes, and of course, incredibly exciting setpieces that only reinforce the fact that Tom Cruise is the only person in Hollywood who’s 100% committed to doing what no one else will do 2. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation-After the greatness of Ghost Protocol, it would’ve no easy feat to top that film, but McQuarrie and Cruise were clearly up for the challenge as they delivered a tightly paced, ambitious, and exciting entry that I absolutely love every time I watch it 1. Mission: Impossible - Fallout-It has all of the team dynamic, phonomenal action sequences, and well done espionage that I adore this franchise for, but with an excellent story and ties back to the previous three films, so when you put it all together, it’s the perfect M:I film, and really, one of the greatest action movies ever made

"true spy thriller" "never shoots a gun" - that's why the first movie is the best.

[@illusion630]

Ikr I think the action was so mid, really held it back for me from being number 1 as well as it being a bit too predictable

[@pianopete1729]

I was literally just saying I can't wait till Sean uploads his ranking for the Mi films, ten seconds later I'm watching the video 😂😂😂

[@doctorzingo]

What makes Ethan Hunt a compelling, relatively grounded action character is the fact that he's a professional who only takes risks when he has to. That's in my view the main reason why everyone feels that MI:2 is such an odd entry in the series. It's not mainly about the general over-the-top "full Woo-ness" of it, that's more a question of style - it's Ethan's personality which is all wrong. He's here just a playboy daredevil, climbing and driving like a lunatic when he doesn't have to. There's just something cartoonish about it.

[@ninjanibba4259]

You'd think with all the masks in 2, it'd be easy to believe that someone really was under the Ethan mask that was extra tight....cuz yeah, character is 90% wrong At least he still doesn't risk innocent people for the mission, that was still intact of course

[@american6437]

Sean becoming a food critic was crazy 😂

[@wardenmagellan2643]

Hot Take: Mission Impossible 2 is my third favourite after 3(second place) and 6(my fave!). The love interest is great, The Stunts are the best from the original trilogy, a decent villain with great Henchmen(both his right hand man/close friend and the computer guy)… it has flaws but I love it…

[@JayL3wis]

Interesting list. Fallout is also my number 1

[@bobcobb3654]

I don’t get the hate for 2. Maybe people were mad that John Woo “went Hollywood” or folks still mad about “I Disappear” and the Napster fallout. It’s uneven, but damned if it isn’t fun.

[@ninjanibba4259]

​@@bobcobb3654it's a soap opera disguised as a spy action film....there's alot to hate about that

[@AnimeKing-xj2xl]

When I was in my late elementary and early highschool Ghost Protocol introduce me into this franchise and it became my most rewatchable action film in our cable tv.

[@richdan777]

Fallout was simply…..a cinematic masterpiece 👏👏👏👏

[@chungkingexpress94]

MI:1 being so low on these lists is criminal

[@brandon14715]

Haven't seen Dead Reckoning yet, but here's mine, the top 5 would all probably be on the same tier for me though as they are all excellent! 1. Fallout 2. Ghost Protocol 3. Mission Impossible 1 4. MI 3 5. Rogue Nation 6. MI 2

[@ou812a4]

What surprised me the most in the original 1996 MI, was that Emilio Estevez (a big star at the time) was killed off in the first 10 minutes of the movie.

[@davidhunt3302]

This is a tough ranking, because most of this franchise have strong entries and this is my comfort franchise. My ranking for the Mission Impossible movies are... 1. Dead Reckoning Part 1 2. Fallout 3. Rogue Nation 4. Ghost Protocol 5. 3rd 6. 1st 7. 2nd

[@J-DEVTV]

Good ranking! It is a franchise that a lot of the movies could be number 1 on any given day. Here's my ranking. 7th. Mission: Impossible II 6th. Mission: Impossible 5th. Ghost Protocol 4th. Fallout 3rd. Rogue Nation 2nd. Dead Reckoning Part 1 1st. Mission: Impossible III

[@MetrovartaVarta]

1. Rogue Nation 2. Fallout 3. Dead Reckoning Part 1 4. Ghost Protocol 5. M.I 3 6. M.I 2 7. M.I Mission Impossible takes bottom spot simply because, as a huge fan of the tv series, it was sacrilegious to make Jim Phelps the villain. Unforgivable.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

My personal ranking from favorite to least favorite. And to be fair, I legitimately love all of these movies, except for M:I2, so when it comes to ranking, I’m almost splitting hairs a bit… 1. Mission: Impossible - Fallout 2. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 3. Mission: Impossible 3 4. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One 5. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation 6. Mission: Impossible 7. Mission: Impossible 2

[@RisingUnderdog]

M:I 2 is a guiltily pleasure for me 😀 It's fun and energetic. Still listen to Hans Zimmers score to this day. While it's definitely the weakest in the franchise, it's still a good/fun action movie. Fallout is a masterpiece!

[@bobcobb3654]

No reason for it to be a guilty pleasure. It’s still better than a lot of the action flicks to come out at that time.

[@bobdallas4860]

It's so great to see a franchise reach its peak after its 3rd installment, it's such a unique series in this perspective. Ghost Protocol is my favourite due to nostalgia, but everything from GP onwards is top tier M:I movies together with the 1st one. 2 & 3 I don't really care about that much, they were still trying to find the series' footing but when they finally did, top tier action series. Mad respect for Tom Cruise, his passion of crafting interesting movies really shows.

Least best to Best MI2 MI1 MI - Rogue Nation MI3 MI - Dead reckoning Part 1 MI - Fallout MI - Ghost Protocol Ghost Protocol and Fallout might switch in future, but as of now I have chosen this ranking.

[@kireal8950]

It's crazy how different my ranking is, here're a few thoughts. WARNING: THERE ARE SPOILERS TO DEAD RECKONING . . . . . . . . . 7. MI2 6. MI3 5. Dead Reckoning Pt1 Liked it, but felt like the drama with Ilsa's death didn't work that well and at some points it was too predictable to me. Also, I thought the editing in a few of action moments was a bit too quick, especially in the hallway scene. But I really liked the plot, the idea with AI and a villain with personal connection to Ethan is great, so, the second part has all the chances to be all time great. IDK whether they'll do more MI movies or not, but Dead Reckoning Pt2, I think, would definitely be a fitting finale. 4. Rogue Nation 3. Fallout 2. Ghost Protocol These 3 films could be shuffled in different ways and it would work for me, but as of I right now, I think McQuarrie's films are incredible, but maybe a bit too overcomplicated, while the plot stays pretty generic. The fourth film though, I just love it, adore its action pieces and stunts and the story feels more entertaining than in others, imho. 1. MI1 The first film is still my favorite, it's more plot-driven but doesn't feel too difficult to follow, it's got a secret, a strong intrigue, the characters are all fleshed out. And at the same time, the stunts and action scenes still look BRILLIANT. So, yeah, absolutely love it.

[@BeasTxMode2000]

I love the first one too it's just a little different than the rest. I don't really think you can compare it to dead reckoning. Dead reckoning blows it out of the water as far as movie making. What I love about the first is that's how I imagine these people's lives. Alone. I don't really like the 3rd. Ethan being married

[@obadiahplainman8897]

Lol, putting Dead Reckoning thag low is just being contrarian. Come on man.

[@legolas_]

Yeah it is crazy…and wrong. Dead reckoning is easily the best

[@kireal8950]

@@obadiahplainman8897 I am not putting it lower just to be against everyone else. In MI all films from top 5 are top tier action movies, so, like Sean said, you could shuffle those in many ways and it'd work. And, well, I had a few problems with DR1 that I didn't have with the higher places, so, it's the worst of the best to me)

[@penknight8532]

I agree... the first movie is the closest to the original series and it is actually a movie... Good List here but part three is better than Dead Reckoning just because of Hoffman's Villan.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Rogue Nation coming fourth?! o0o Bro. It's the better movie, hands down. It has the best antagonist (in a franchise with very few of them...) and solid writing through and through, it introduces Ilsa instead of killing her, it has the freaking opera scene, which is imo the best scene of the entire franchise, the twist ending is unexpected for a change... Fallout is great, but you can tell they started shooting the back half without a full scenario... ^^; and Ghost Protocol is a brilliant movie, but a bit plagued with too much humor for my taste. In that regard, it got way better with the arrival of McQ.

[@k-slay4407]

Yes! I can't understand why so many people prefer Fallout to Rogue Nation. Rogue Nation is just littered with memorable scene after scene, after scene. Fallout has like two great action scenes and a dull story and look. The color grading is just so diluted and depressing. It's easily the ugliest looking MI movie.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

@@k-slay4407 Okay okay hold your horses :D I'm not gonna follow you on that road, at least not that far. :D Yes, the story is way less sophisticated and a bit convoluted, it shows that they had half of a screenplay when they start shooting... but I thought they did a great job in the end. They go from point A to point B, then the movie loses itself a little, but it quickly finds a point C, and it kinda works. The action scenes easily make up for it anyway. As for the color grading, it's not THAT different than Rogue Nation... same DP... "depressing"? Whaaa? :D Maybe you should rewatch it? The ugliest-looking M:I movie is MI2, imo (and I love what Woo did in HK).

[@geometrydashiuppiter6910]

​​@@SCharlesDennicon You're wrong. Fallout did NOT have the same director of photography as Rogue Nation. Rogue Nation (as well as Ghost protocol) were shot by Robert Elswit, whereas Fallout was shot by Rob Hardy (who is also the cinematographer of Alex Garland). I personally prefer the look of Rogue Nation, but Fallout also looks fantastic except for the darker scenes If anything, the cinematography of Dead Reckoning was lackluster, especially when you compare the party scene to the club scene in John Wick 4.

[@SupportTheLittleGuy]

8:04 why they cut this part 😭 that actress is so beautiful

[@cachetrider8970]

Man you took the words right out of my mouth with Ghost Protocol. The Dubai tower has got to be my favorite Mission Impossible sequence to this day. Ghost Protocol still likely holds the #1 spot for me... great humor, great characters and chemistry (loved Carter and Brandt)... and decent twists involving Brandt and Julia. Sure, the final act isn't the best, but as a whole the movie always gives me the good feels. I've only seen Dead Reckoning Pt. 1 once so far. Right now it is a toss-up whether it or Fallout would take 2nd place, as both are fantastic films. I'm tentatively giving it to Fallout due to the sheer amount of mystery/suspense involving the John Lark character. The plot twists and final act still have me on the edge of my seat after multiple viewings. My rankings may adjust with time, but for now: 1. Ghost Protocol 2. Fallout 3. Dead Reckoning pt. 1 4. Rogue Nation 5. Mission: Impossible 3 6. Mission: Impossible 7. Mission: Impossible 2
