Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation Review | The Best Spy Film of 2015?

[@CorneelVf]

I adore, absolutely adore Rogue Nation. When I saw Spectre, I immediately knew I liked this film better, and it made me feel guilty as a Bond fan, a feel of betrayal almost. But this one is so good, I love the opera set piece, Rebecca Ferguson is incredible in it, the gadgets, the tension... Then there's the mask switcheroo stuff in London, which is probably my favourite mask twist of the series, Tom Hollander is so funny in that scene. And the score... The score is so good! That slowed-down, triumphant version of the theme when they trap Lane at the end, brilliant.

[@paulklee5790]

Damn right... this is how a Bond film should go.

[@paulklee5790]

‘None shall sleep’.... Nesum Dorma... probably the IMF motto...

[@hansmichaelfanunal2545]

Christopher Mcquarrie has done a lot for this franchise and really pushed it. This film while had some Bond elements felt more like Hitchcock because of the suspense to me, I loved it. This film also looks really beautiful

[@vaclav_fejt]

Another McQuarrie/Cruise trip is Jack Reacher (the first one). A bit more grounded, compared to Bond or M:I, but I loved that. Shame that Never Go Back was directed by someone else and that movie was just bland.

[@dieanotherdaydefender7938]

@@vaclav_fejt Don't blame the director, Edward Zwick, who is a better director than Mcquarrie

[@vaclav_fejt]

@@dieanotherdaydefender7938 Zwick is a capable director, for formulaeic movies, like The Last Samurai. His best more original work is imho Blood Diamond and it still lacks *something*. Jack Reacher 1 felt fresh. The sequel felt ordinary. Maybe it was the script, but at the end of the day, it is the director's name and director's responsibility. Zwick is probably better for some stuff than McQuarrie and vice versa. For Jack Reacher, the latter is the case.

[@tashrif46]

@@vaclav_fejt Thank you. Jack Reacher was so great with suspense and keeping you on your toes. Its a damn shame that the second movie followed none of the essence of the first one.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

@@vaclav_fejt McQuarrie also wrote Jack Reacher and doesn't write the sequel which is a big loss. I don't mind the second but it does feel a lot more 'tv two-parter' than the first [which has Bond alumni Rosamund Pike in a key role].

Timothy Dalton makes an excellent point, but on the other hand I found the scenes more impressive knowing that Cruise did his own stunts.

I would agree if this were Citizen Cane but it's just an action film. A good one, but not worth risking one's life for.

[@rhodriwilliams2599]

it’s annoying how good this was in comparison to spectre

[@Jamvol12]

Have to admit my first thought upon leaving the cinema after watching Fallout was how is Bond meant to top that???

[@RanjitSingh-em7lx]

Its amazing how other people compare the two. When I first saw Spectre, I thought it was a slightly poor imitation of Rogue Nation.

[@jaapsch2]

I must confess that when I saw Fallout it took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that the bad guy from Rogue Nation was in it. I just did not recognise Sean Harris with a beard as being the same character he was in Rogue Nation.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

"Rogue Nation" was such a refreshing change from the CGI heavy "Nice graphics" movies of the past twenty years. Real visceral action. But, like others have mentioned, "Fallout" took that realistic action to another level.

[@billkoenig1552]

The movie originally was scheduled to come out at Christmas 2015. But Disney was re-starting the Star Wars series. So Paramount moved it up a few months to late July. It worked out very well. "The Syndicate" in the original TV series referred to the Mafia.

“Died for our sins.” That’s the most you ever have made me laugh and you make me laugh a lot.

[@Dan_Roland]

Have you accepted Tom Cruise as your lord and savior?

[@spaceodds1985]

Yes it truly is the best spy film of 2015. To think it took nearly 20 years for the first film to be bettered. The plot, the characters, the locations and the set pieces are phenomenal... diving heist, followed by the motorcycle chase... could not ask for more. Also, Elsa Faust... perfect addition to the series.

[@aleksandrazaryanova1677]

Ditto. But never mind all that, was that the Mission Impossible 64 theme I could hear at the end of the video?

[@WH250398]

It was so jarring to me watching Spectre a couple of months after this and realising it had the exact same plot, but worse. Rogue Nation kicks ass. Fallout is awesome too, but it's less cleverly written than Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation. It makes up for it though with the unmatched action scenes.

[@austinslater530]

The ending sequences of Fallout are jaw-dropping. Enjoy, whenever you watch that!

[@ARBLACKx]

Fallout definitely has the best 3rd act out of all the Mission films. The incredible helicopter scenes followed by the fight between Cavill and Cruise on the mountain with the amazing cinematography

[@ravensthorne4631]

The "making it personal" aspect is one of the weakest elements of the Craig Bond era films (for me). Another reason that the last couple of M:I films have been so good in comparison.

[@FirstSlateProductionsOfficial]

Between this, The Man from UNCLE and Spy, Spectre didn't stand a chance that year!

[@mrneedlemouse6447]

To quickly answer your question: Yes, I do believe that Fallout gets even better. I saw that bad boy in IMAX and it blew my mind into chunks. Really excited for you to get to experience it next time! 😁

[@FictusFilmsPROTrailers]

Fallout is more Tense. Rogue Nation is more fun. Rogue Nation is like a Roger Moore film. Fallout is more like Connery/Craig/Dalton with a bit of Dark Knight.

[@Stealth45523]

It's nice to see Calvin talking about more spy-themed media outside of the James bond franchise

Adore this film. It’s like the twisty double crossing, trust no one, embittered agent plot of the first film but done correctly and intelligibly. (Bonus points for fixing the opera sequence from Quantum of Solace - it is just wonderful.)

[@MrAlsachti]

@11:36 It's also interesting to see that this scene was done with practical effects. And it's very effective.

[@sebastianfitzptraick7395]

I remember when I watched Rogue Nation in the cinema and then watched Spectre months later, my faith in the current status of the Bond series was quite shaken.

[@nslayton5]

Solomon Lane is one of the best film villains of all time. Sean Harris is stunning in it.

[@johnrigs6540]

This series has done something extremely rare for a film franchise - It has actually gotten better with each new film. No spoilers for you on Fallout, Calvin ….. But it’s the best one yet! It is also very clear that, just as the Bourne series clearly influenced the first couple of Craig films.. ( with Quantum, of course being the most obvious )… No Time To Die does appear to have been strongly influenced by Mission Impossible this time around…. And that’s actually very good news!!

[@Trazynn]

I expect No Time To Die will be a lot of "Look! We're SKYFALL again! Not SPECTRE! We're SKYFALL."

[@NelsonStJames]

It's scary the trajectory of how each MI film has improved since the III film, where it seems somebody figured out that the source material was actually about a team, and not just one person. I'm really looking forward to the newest one coming out and your review of the next one, which I think you're going to love.

[@IcePhoenix295]

Thank you! I've been looking forward to this review for a while.

[@whitephoenix4230]

Cal, I got a big goofy smile when you used the N64 Mission Impossible game soundtrack for the video because I loved playing that game and I still do. It's cheesy as hell, but it has a unique charm that makes me wish it was more successful. Hell, it makes me wish there were mods for that game, but compared to Goldeneye, mods for it are nearly nonexistent.

[@Dohsoda]

My personal favorite film of the franchise. It's so well directed and it feels quite a lot like a Bond film, but with more of a team element going on. Rogue Nation and Fallout are great action movies and I cannot wait for Mission: Impossible VII!

[@billkoenig1552]

All of the Mission: Impossible movies used Lalo Schifrin's famous theme music. This one also used some Schifrin background score cues (I think it's called "The Plot") in the motorcycle sequence. As a fan of the original TV show, I appreciated that a lot.

The whole reason they were playing Renner up in Ghost Protocol is because he was actually supposed to take over the franchise. I don’t know all the details but it’s an interesting story if you want to go looking for it.

[@adamoconnor8964]

I found the emotional core of this one to be the friendship between Ethan and Benji, but that’s just me!

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Saw Rouge Nation in the cinema and absolutely loved it and it was a great time at the cinema with the rest of the audience loving it too. Ilsa Faust was such a great addition [adore Rebecca Ferguson]. I've watched it loads of times at home and didn't think it could get any better. Then came Fallout...

[@Seethi_C]

[@JoaoPessoa86]

One thing about Fallout is Henry Cavill's mustache and the thorn it was on the side of the Justice League production. Ironically Cruise suffered a production delaying injury later that would have allowed Cavill to shave and regrow his mustache

[@Trazynn]

I love that Cavill was more committed to MI than to being Superman even though that role is what made his career.

[@dmitrinajim4663]

[@andrewchapman4267]

Thanks once again Calvin. Have you seen Edge of Tomorrow? Not a spy film but Cruise again and also terrific.

[@theultimatevideoman1143]

I like the Craig Bond films (well half of them), but I wish they had the same level of consistency as the Mission Impossible films

[@MatthewHarkin]

I used to refer to Jeremy Renner as the discount Daniel Craig! I've been so impressed with the latest MI films! I genuinely didn't like the first 3 much at all but they really have managed to warm to the latest ones. The Opera scene too? It's almost like the entire film was Quantum of Solace done right? ... or is it SPECTRE done right? Seeing these films are so interesting alongside the latest Bond flms (barring Skyfall obviously) because it really puts into perspective just how much EON need to up their game? Pains me to say it cos I will defend James Bond until the day I die!

[@Trazynn]

MI2 and MI3 are very much a product of their time. MI2 being all nu-metal/matrix vibes and MI3 overdoing the teal/orange and sci-fi sets like all action movies did back then.

[@webfox100]

Funny outro. Keep up the good work!

[@mariakelly1059]

I really loved this movie (in fact, this is my favorite movie in the Mission Impossible franchise), but Solomon Lane's mumbling drove me crazy! I had no idea what he was saying until I bought the DVD and put on the captions when I watched it at home.

[@markymark2819]

MI films are terrific. Out of ten I would rate: MI - 8, MI2 - 2, MI3 - 7, MI4 GP - 8, MI5 RN 9, MI6 FO 10. Rogue Nation is certainly much better than Spectre and handles the humour and ration of serious to OTT moments far more successfully.

[@FictusFilmsPROTrailers]

It’s been a long time Calvin…and finally- here we are! Been waiting for this review for a while. Now waiting for Fallout Review next. It’s the film that pushed MI series even closer to Bond.

[@Galgomite]

Really enjoyed this review (and this movie, which is my favorite MI film). MI:4 really righted the ship for M:I, reworking Tom Cruise into Mark Harmon’s character in NCIS- a sort of saintly mentor who could easily be guiding younger characters in future installments rather than taking all the chances. Every film since then has leaned a little closer to the older Hunt character, not necessarily for the better, and while I do not wish to see Cruise in more romantic subplots, this film really does get everything right. It doesn’t really matter that the first two scenes with Elsa were likely swapped, or that the ending is lazy. The motorcycle stunts are the best of the series, the opera fight gave me vertigo (ha) and the supporting cast is finally settling into some consistency so I can root for them too. I WAS really thrown by the villain, though- he looked distractingly like Simon Pegg to me and I expected that to have some twist/ payoff. Also, get used to the “shot first, scripted later” style of moviemaking, because that only gets worse from here.

[@nslayton5]

Rogue Nation is Hitchcockian goodness, and then McQuarrie went full Ronin with Fallout.

[@briangebbia6001]

I find it crazy that in a film with a 150 million dollar production (probably twice that when all the marketing is said and done), and a product with the potential to make up to a billion dollars would not have a air tight story and plot before production begins. I get dialogue being messed with a little but not plot. Perhaps this is more common that I realize with these types of movies. Still seems insane to me.

[@davidjames579]

To wit, Tomorrow Never Dies, Quantum Of Solace.......

[@pauld6967]

I am a fan of the original M.I. television series having watched it air as a child and I completely agree that each movie improves. That is based on the fact that each movie gets closer and closer to the television show's best qualities: that it is a team effort and that the show practices the 'show, don't tell' philosophy. If you weren't back in front of the television from your bathroom or 'make a sandwich' break by the time the commercials were over, you'd likely be lost in the plot because you missed a detail that was onscreen but not verbalized. :-) It truly held to the reality that television is a visual medium. If you want things auditory so you can know what is happening without being in the room or using your eyes, then just listen to the radio.

[@neilmarktaylor4386]

Was there any other spy films in 2015 don’t think so the plane scene at the start of the film was shot up the road where I live I did not know you had a twin brother

[@pdsufferer666]

Agreed with what some people have commented here, Fallout was the one that really blew everyone's minds. I've known friends who have never seen a single Mission Impossible movie before praise Fallout to be the best action film they've ever seen and that praise is highly warranted, Christopher McQuarrie outdid himself by infusing references to past Mission installments and he even tied up loose ends which he didn't need to but by God, it was done so brilliantly and satisfying. I really can't wait till you make a review video on it because I'd like to know if Fallout would be the final push to brainwash you into creating a M:I shrine.

[@Makman1994]

Great video! Would you consider reviewing the Fast and Furious movies, starting from the 5th one onwards, since they are action heist movies.

[@patrickangelobalasa]

Fallout is just amazing. I feel like McQuarrie really took note of the criticisms of Rogue Nation with having a great villain and an amazing setpiece of a third act.

[@paulklee5790]

Two words.... Rebecca Louisa Ferguson Sundström.... Errr...Okay, that’s four words, but you catch my drift?

[@robertwild9447]

I love Rogue Nation, but Fallout is my personal favorite entry in the series. However, Fallout is darker and more serious than this one, so you might not like it as much. But in my opinion, Fallout justifies it's tone and longer length with both higher stakes and more personal character drama. Also, Fallout without a doubt has the best, most thrilling climax of the entire series, I definitely think it ends on a higher note than any of the other films.

[@johnwhitehead7693]

Good review! Looking forward to your take on 'Fallout'

[@chrishewson4283]

Great quote from Timothy! On that note, is there a difference between someone 'obnoxiously' doing all their own stunts like Tom Cruise, and the likes of Jackie Chan? Would he likewise be guilty of overshadowing his movies, or is it ok when he does it? Perhaps because those products come as Jackie Chan vehicles first, plot second (or seventh), haha.

[@michaelsinger4638]

Pretty much yes. Her being a Bond villain would be awesome. Kind of like Elektra King, but also someone who could have a cool fight with Bond as well.

[@Wade978]

Problem with Spectre was that every bit of production felt phoned in. The car chase, aesthetic of spectre, third act, even the henchman and how he was handled felt boring and phoned in. (according the wiki he had metal fingernails..... WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE HIM USE THAT MORE?? Imagine how more badass his intro would have been. Spin the victim in the chair, stop it facing him and either rip out his throat or slash it open before he cleans his hand and sits down) It's like nobody... and I do mean NOBODY felt excited or motivated to make this movie. Like a kid forced to do homework.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

I got the feeling Sam Mendes lost interest in Spectre about half way through. The script was constantly being reworked [the entire 3rd act was changed after the Sony hack] and it was also going to be two back to back movies at one stage [hence the Blofeld cliffhanger]. The edit was only done 3 weeks before the premier [probably explains why it's overlong]. I think everyone was just glad to get it done which is why they took a break before starting work on Bond 25.

[@OsahonUwagboe]

I think we need to start having that conversation that as good as the Craig Bond movies have been, the last 3 Mission: Impossible movies (Ghost Protocol, Rogue Nation & Fallout) have been as good or even better than the latest Bond offerings. Just my opinion 😁

I liked Ghost Protocol more. Him climbing the skyscraper is an actually cool real stunt, the plane and water thing in this movie do feel too removed from reality despite the way it was achieved.

[@calvindyson]

I can totally appreciate that. I hadn’t really considered the stunts in that way but you’re totally right. The skyscraper sequence felt so REAL where the plane and water sequences here (despite being the stunt work involved) just felt removed from reality like you say.

[@DioBrandoWRYYYYYY]

@@calvindyson I've only seen Rogue Nation once while I've seen Ghost Protocol like three times so my memory of Rogue Nation isn't as strong as my memory of the other one, but I also just remember having more fun in general with Ghost Protocol. Like the opening bit with them clowning around in the Kremlin was fun, and while both movies are a bit lame in terms of actual villains that car lift thing in India also felt more real with how those cars were smashing down. Ultimately I feel like Rogue Nation was slowly backsliding in to the iffy cartoony unreality of the first two MI movies regardless of how much the characters make grim, pained faces and limp a little bit after taking a fall and the washed out colors that are supposed to mean that a movie is "serious". Still better than Spectre, though!

[@jamesatkinsonja]

@@DioBrandoWRYYYYYY I love Ghost Protocol but I prefer Rouge Nation because I feel more invested with the story [possibly due to the director also being the writer]. The underwater scene you mentioned might look a bit unreal but while the skyscraper scene is exciting in the story [in order to pull off the next part of the plan] the underwater sequence has the added story element of Hunt passing out and Faust having to save him-partly due to the necessity of needing Hunt for the rest of her plan, but also as she is falling in love with him, so I get that extra depth to it. Rouge Nation, in particular with Ilsa Faust, has more emotion present which would be further expanded on in Fallout but in fairness each to there own.

[@DioBrandoWRYYYYYY]

@@jamesatkinsonja I don't really care about the story to MI movies, I just like the spectacle. The underwater scene looks like a video game level, and the more I think about him holding on to the plane the more I hate it. I don't care if he actually did it physically for the stunt, it's a ridiculous, unrealistic, shark-jumping stunt because if the intent was realism... Well then Hunt would either get smashes to the ground by the sheer velocity slamming in to him, or he'd first shred every muscle in his arm and THEN smash in to the ground. Like Rogue Nation presents itself as more "serious" but I actually think it only ends up making the whole thing seem even dumber than it already is.

When are you going to do some reviews on Mission: Impossible video games?

[@ForceMaximus84]

Rogue Nation falls short against Ghost Protocol, but is definitely a great Mission, the fourth-best overall. When I heard that we were getting a Mission: Impossible movie and a James Bond movie the same year, I was excited, but I was more excited for the latter mainly because they were bringing back the SPECTRE organization and Blofeld after over forty years. I’m sure you could relate to that. In the end, I agree with you that Rogue Nation ended up being the better spy thriller of the two.

[@helgaratbone1691]

Underwater sequence looks heavily CGI enhanced but I think the beginning plane sequence is beautiful.

[@SB992REBORN]

Lighting is CG but also practical and whole scene is practical

[@albertoamoruso7711]

Fallout is the best of the bunch (except maybe for the first one). I'd just say that it has strong resemblance to Ronin and it really plays on the expectations and conditioning of the audience, especially in the last act.

[@NathanielWhittoUpdates]

Fallout is definitely my favourite. As a huge Mission nerd I'm loving these reviews.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Rouge Nation was so much better than Spectre [the next film as a bit of 'tying things up'' feeling and that is done better too]. Ilsa was superior to the female characters in spectre [just for fun I imagine she's a 00 agent we didn't get to see in the Bond films] and the action was much better too. Sad as a Bond fan but true.

[@emmikay7387]

If you're looking for other spy related media to review, may I suggest the parody/spoof musical "Spies are Forever" by Tin Can Brothers? The original production is available in its entirety on youtube. I've really enjoyed your videos!

[@TimmyTantrum]

Mission: Impossible Fallout spoiler alert: Ethan kills Dumbledore. No but really, as a huge Bond fan myself, I'm wildly entertained by the M:I series, I can't wait to see what you think about Fallout. Henry Cavill's American accent notwithstanding.

[@tashrif46]

Oh boy oh boy. If you loved Rogue Nation, then I can't wait for the reaction of Fallout. Its funny how Rogue Nation and Spectre had so much in common. Syndicate and Spectre. Mad supervillain obsessed with the protagonist and world domination. Another great work of Christopher McQuarrie is Jack Reacher. Its a low-key good movie with good suspense and keeps you on the edge of the seat.

[@jamesatkinsonja]

Jack Reacher is an excellent thriller [with Bond Alumni Rosamund Pike!]

I met Tom and we spoke about our ideas on the new 007 film. We thought a collaboration with Ethan Hunt and JB would result in phenomenal results, then I was on a marshmallow cloud and I woke up..

M:I franchise is just awesome and it's really pushing into new bounderies

All the MI movies are the best, Mr. Dyson. You should definitely watch MI Fallout.

I don't like him but I have always enjoyed the Ethan Hunt role and this was one of my favorites. Agree on Hoffman as well. Sadly I'd say Fallout is a step back down

Agree with everything you said.
