Which MI is your favorite? Don't spoil though ~

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

They’re all fun, except MI:2. You’ll have to tough it out through that one, cause it’s pretty bad🤣

[@packedentertainment2866]

Ghost Protocol

[@packedentertainment2866]

@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192wow. Imo 3 is the worst one, too much cheesiness & corny action that felt like it came out of a Michael Bay movie. MI 4-7 are some of the best action movies I’ve ever seen with some of the most creative & craziest action sequences I’ve ever seen in the action genre. This franchise is so good. 2 is a slow one for certain but it isn’t as bad as 3 imo. Although the first 3 are just okay to me, none of them are bad-bad. But 4-7 are all masterpieces.

[@DaxRaider]

this was a HUGE tv series in the 60s and 70s with 7 seasons. and Jim Phelps the leader of this group who ended up being the bad guy, he also was the leader for season 2-7. So he was the "main" good guy. thats why people was SOOO surprised he ended being the bad guy and not saw it coming, because this is the main good guy hero of the tv show.

[@ForeverMan724]

YES bro lol thank you for saying it ^^ but respect to the actor for giving us the "turn" and "twist" in the jump to the Movies. My dad hated it, as someone who grew up and loved the TV show, i get that. but i totally saw it as simply passing the torch to the next generation Lol i mean they are Actors man ^^ its a story and gave us a true twist in the Characters story and the Mission Impossible world, you Never Know what can happen.

[@1515cci]

@@ForeverMan724 Peter Graves -- who played Jim Phelps in the tv series -- hated what they did to his character in the movie. He describes Phelps as a patriot and is why he turned down the movie role when it was offered to him. I personally didn't like what they did to Phelps character too having watched the older tv series and the resurrected series in the 80s.

[@glennwisniewski9536]

The best Mission: Impossible films duplicate the team aspect of the TV series, which had 1) a smooth-talking leader, 2) a femme fatale, 3) a master of disguise, 4) an electronics expert and 5) a strongman. Basically, it was a circus of spies.

[@kevincola3184]

@@The_RedVIII John Woo was just not the right director for MI:2. His style doesn't really mesh well with the themes and action of Mission Impossible. It's not bad, it's just a strange film, lol.

[@koryeasterday5164]

This movie was before most people had internet access on their computers. Most people didn't even have a home PC. So this movie's use of email was very futuristic xd

[@ArthurAveiro]

15:51 I know it's a miniscule nitpick, but look up Split-Field Diopter. It's not an image on top of another, it's a practical camera effect that Brian De Palma uses sometimes. In fact, he uses it again in 19:06 and it works much better (so much so that you didn't even mention it). The reason the guy in the back is still in focus is for comic effect (I think), because he's taking the fall for what happened and he just generally looks pretty dorky in the middle of all this cool spycraft.

[@michaelccozens]

He's also about to be abandoned in Siberia, so it would seem there's definitely an intended comedic overtone to the scene. Your mind immediately goes to that dude out on some frozen tundra, and that doesn't seem his bag.

[@vlonewolfv]

I love how this entire movie is structured. It is the most spy centric one, complete with confusing double crosses and spys playing the long con on each other. So damn good, and the most stylistic. It’s my second favorite of this series, right next to M:I3.

[@taoist32]

Too bad they focused too much on Tom Cruise.

[@michaelccozens]

That's a good point that it's the most traditional "spy-thriller" of the bunch. The others still have that element, to a degree, but they almost become more "heist-action" movies. BTW, if you like spy thrillers and you haven't see it, "Slow Horses" with Gary Oldman on Apple+ is *unbelievable*. And it's British, who do "whodunnits" like no-one else.

[@annelorza5008]

OMG!!! It's finally happening, one of the best franchises of all time.

[@DaxRaider]

the crazy thing is that cruise does all his stungs himself ... he even learns to fly a helicopter just to fly a helicopter in the movies and not have a double do it this guy is beyond crazy. for me his most crazy thing he ever did was in MI2 so you up to some amazing stuff :) some people hate on MI2 but for me its a masterpiece i love john woo as the director so much. the fact that the movies all have different directors also make them feel so different

[@ItApproaches]

stungs?

[@cruelangel8689]

Agreed. I think the fans that dislike 2 so much is mostly in opposition to Woo's style. You can't really knock the plot either because that was a response to all the criticisms that film 1 was too hard to understand.

[@michaelccozens]

@@cruelangel8689 Yeah, it was a very John Woo movie, which is great if you like Woo (I do), but, coming after De Palma, made for a very abrupt shift in tone. And, at the time, the future direction of the franchise wasn't clear, so I think some of the backlash was more against the possibility of MI as a series becoming much more straight action, as opposed to issues with MI2 itself. I think if people rewatch now, knowing that the MI series pulled back more towards the tone of 1 as it moved forward, then they might find Woo's entry to be better than they remembered. Context does funny things to memory.

[@charlesbreiner]

It might not actually be two different shots laid on top of each other at 15:55. It's hard to tell in your edit but there is a special kind of lens where you can focus half the lens on something in the foreground and the other half on something in the background (I think you can also adjust how much of the frame each side gets too). It's called a split diopter lens. Could be a composite of different shots but odds are it's the lens because frankly it's would have been cheaper at this point in time.

The Mission: Impossible theme was written by Lalo Schifrin. At most Danny Elfman may have adapted it slightly for the 1996 movie

[@shainewhite2781]

My favorite action movie spy franchise! Original composer Alan Silvestri, PREDATOR, FORREST GUMP, THE AVENGERS, was hired to do the music, but was later fired from the project as Director Brian DePalma complained that the score wasn't powerful enough and hired Danny Elfmam instead. Silvestri's rejected score would be used for the Arnold Schwarzenegger Action Thriller ERASER.

[@michaelccozens]

Nothing against Silvestri, but I think De Palma clearly made the right choice. The semi-cheesy '60s bombastic tone of the movie and the narrative wouldn't work nearly as well without Elfman's score leaning hard on the emotional buttons. There are times for subtlety, and these ain't them.

[@Myke_thehuman]

That whole monologue about the spliced camera shot was amazing. It's nerding out like that, that makes me like this channel over others.

[@Waterford1992]

23:16 They are in the Channel Tunnel which is 32 miles or 50Km long and connects the UK and France under the English Channel

[@rockero1313]

Brian De Palma is a Mater Filmmaker. He uses that "close up-background" shot in every movie, and brilliantly, to show that both parts are equally important. He also uses titled shots, like when Hunt says "you never seen me upset". In the elevator scene you see that there isn't much room to move, and I'm sure the blades go all the way to the top of the roof, leaving even less room. also, did you notice 13:08 Hunt is holding the knife saying "Zero body count" next to a sign that reads "Positively no smoking" (smoking as in killing someone). now that's brilliant. To me this one is the best M:I movie of them all.

[@jimlight5137]

16:11 it’s not spliced. It’s a split diopter shot. The lens itself has two focuses with a split down the middle.

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite Mission Impossible movie!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@DigitalJediMaster]

So that intro was not typical of the 90s. It was typical of the 60s, as this was emulating the intro of the original series. It continues to do so to this day. Some of the tech you saw was what that tech looked like then. Movies were already about 70 years old at this point, and modern VFX were about 30. So I'm always a little surprised people think it was only the last ten years or so cinematography, storytelling or visual effects got good. We kinda got this. Quite some time ago. :) So that close up with the one dude in focus was very intentional to create a certain look. These movies are gonna get even more intricate. So brace yourself.

[@glennwisniewski9536]

Hey Angelina, the trapeze scene at C.I.A. headquarters has, in fact, been imitated to death. However, MI itself "borrowed" the idea from a 1964 movie called Topkapi which also had an impossible mission (a jewel heist from a Turkish museum). Someone should really react to the latter film.

[@vaclmart]

🤫 16:20 Split focus is done by special (and quite expensive) lens not by stacking shots😉

[@SG-js2qn]

IIRC, this series shows it is for real with the third movie. The first two are interesting but different takes, the third gets your attention, and then after that they've figured it out and know how to do it.

[@k.delpino1124]

What up. Late comment. M:I is based on one of several tv series, created by Bruce Gellar. Among many to hit television of the 1960s Spy craze. My introduction to M:I was the second series from the late 1980s that featured characters of the original series with newer characters. Tom Cruise in the mid-1990s officially became a producer by forming a company with Paula Wagner. Both were given the greenlight for the rights to make M:I as an movie. This was 1 of 2 films for Cruise in 1996 (the other was Jerry Maguire). This first film matches the tv series at almost perfect beat. Thanks to this franchise, Cruise becomes a even bigger movie star and the consummate stunt performer we know today. The legendary theme by Lalo Scrifrin is so timeless with Intrigue and excitement. Adam Clayton & Larry Mullen from the group, U2 did the new version for the 1st movie. As reruns of the tv series resurged during the movie's success, Cruise definitely had a franchise. Also there was tie-in media, the video game by Ocean and the M:I comic book series aka The Ethan Hunt Chronicles from Marvel. I couldn't wait for more missions as an fan, coming soon and I chose to accept them all.

[@claytalian9091]

This franchise is actually based on an old tv show, and the bad guy was actually named after the character from it who was a good guy. Also definitely check out the rest of the films. They pretty much get better with every entry and really find their stride by the third one.

[@johangomez8122]

6:56 yeah, I heard that every movie in which he runs makes like several million dollars extra in the box office, I guess that also applies to Tom Hanks

[@Creecher98]

I freakin love this movie. I’m watching these along with you haha. Been a while since I’ve watched them. The second I think is generally considered the best

[@artursandwich1974]

When it came out I was blown away. It retained much of the original (TV series from 1960s) mystery and THEATRICS atmosphere and made it more visually stunning. Later ones shift more and more from thriller to action, from mystery to killery, but it's fine. And the original music theme, but on steroids. And with that first one you might have wondered if someone instead of Cruise. But with each next one you knew it had to be him, someone else might've gotten it wrong. If I had had a say I would have voted against bringing the forgotten TV series to the big screen and couldn't have been happier to have been proven wrong. To you it's an older movie with older ideas of camera work and editing. To me - it was the embodiment of the new in the cinema that I wasn't sure I was going to like.

[@jfwalden2105]

Thanks for sharing another great reaction. The guy that wrote the MI theme (Lalo Schifrin) wrote some of the best movie themes and instrumental music in 60s and 70s films. Sometime tell Alexa or Siri or whatever you listen to music on to play music by Lalo Schifrin. It makes an awesome soundtrack for your day, especially when driving. 😎

[@WastedPo]

I hope you continue on with the series. A number of reactors just did the first one and stopped after that, even though this is a series that improves and evolves as it goes on.

[@OolTube02]

Lalo Schifrin did the M:I theme for TV in the 1960s. It's older than the movie franchise by a few decades. Elfman did the remaining score.

[@dirtyhawkstv1575]

I recall when they made the remake in the 80s, Phil Morris filling in his father's spot (Greg Morris) who was on the original from the 60s. That theme music really takes me back in time. We didn't have a lot of Black people on TV back then.

[@jimspetdragons3737]

Danny Elfman did not write the Theme song. That was done by Lalo Schifrin (released in 1967) for the 1966-73 TV show. Elfman did revamp the song for the movie and scored the film. fyi. Tom Cruise already knew how to do sleight of hand tricks before the movie.

[@sachaallari592]

This was a huge TV show in the 60's and 70's and there was an 80's show also, and JIM was the leader of the team in all of them so Jim being the bad guy was a complete shock.

The villain character in this movie, Jim Phelps, was the lead hero of the TV series. He’s played by Jon Voight in this movie because the original actor turned down the movie role. He felt that Jim Phelps would never betray his country. The heel turn by Jim Phelps in this movie was a gigantic shock to fans of the TV series. I saw this in theaters with my mom, who loved the TV show (and I think had a crush on the TV actor). She was *not* happy with this turn of events lol.

The fish tank scene was the movie showing you how Ethan is processing his thoughts... so when he is talking to Jim you should realize Ethan is figuring that Jim IS the mole... The thing that I missed was him guessing if Claire was involved or not (until the end when Jim explained it) But yes this was the start of many of these Spy Movie tropes. But the TV show was way worse, so it was actually paying homage to the original show....

[@christianwise637]

I really like this film, it's much more of a suspenseful thriller rather than a big action film, and I like how the plot throws loads of twists and turns that throw you for a loop and leave you as disoriented as Ethan himself. The camerawork is also really slick and stylish, and the script has so many fantastic lines - it's definitely the best-written dialogue in the series. Speaking of which, you definitely have to watch the rest of the films, with just one exception (specifically the next one) the Mission Impossible films have been consistently great and have mostly got better and better with each entry. And if you're looking for other spy movies to check out, you really can't go wrong with the grandfather of the genre, the Bond films (though considering how many of them there are, you'll certainly be in it for the long haul if you decide to go down that route)

Those camera takes that annoyed you so much are kind of a trade mark from Brian de Palma, and are kind of top of his art on creating dramatic scenes. Of course he didn't invent it, you'll see similar shots in movies from Orson Welles and Hitchcok as well, but de Palma has a very particular touch of how intimate he work on the shot, using not only the closeness (is that a word?), but also the contrast with light and shadows, and the split focus diopter (that creates this effect) to include the third individual in the context of the conversation (so, no, it was not using different shots), but you'll see even better results in Blow Out IMHO. Needless to say that other directors use that too. In fact, I think its use is more and more frequent nowadays.

[@davejoerger8928]

Donloe is in the background because they’re talking about him. He’s nervous because his fate is in their hands. The audience can see his anxiety and can feel sorry for him. Plus, there is some humor in it. He was totally clueless. One moment he’s smiling and sipping his coffee with this hot girl sitting next to him and the next he’s nauseous and puking. Plus, the up close shots of him turning green and grimacing while he’s groaning in pain were cool too.

I loved seeing it in the theaters, but this one was pure plot (and like I said lots of people couldn’t follow the plot) , so for the second they went almost pure action. Too much if you ask me. By the third one they’d found a happy balance and they’re all great after that. But it’s always a toss up between one and five as to which is my fav.

[@michaelmabe4014]

You have to give the crown of 'original' spy movie more to the Bond Franchise than MI. Mission Impossible just took the bond premise and cranked up the action. Not taking anything away from MI both franchises are much watch if you like the spy genre. Interesting trivia first Bond book was released in 1953 with the first movie (Sean Connery) in 1962. Mission impossible was first introduced as a TV series in 1966.

6:51 exactly he literally does that in every movie because he like to show-off his speed

[@shainewhite2781]

Watch more MISSION IMPOSSIBLE films! 😂

[@tylerhackner9731]

[@fernandosantiagorodrigueze2655]

And I love The film & The saga

[@vincenzobonadonna4556]

If you enjoyed the video, like the dang thing!

"Good morning, Mr. Phelps." If you've seen the original series, or the sequel series from the late 1980s, that line means a lot.

[@noahhinkle9409]

Please go through all of them. Some arent as good as others, but the series is 100% worth going through.

Hey Angelina, I just saw your "Taken" video (I don't know how I missed it!) and wanted to suggest the A-Team movie that Liam Neesen did with Bradley Cooper. It's around the same time and I don't think that movie gets enough love, it is incredibly epic! you don't need to know anything about the show and it's just a proper action movie, with Liam being another BAMF.

[@marshmello4310]

I recommend continuing with the mission impossible franchise, the action gets better and better

MI Fallout is the finest practical effects movie I've seen. I love this franchise but this 1st movie is disrespectful of the TV show its based on. Jim was the main character for multiple seasons. But the main thing that upset people at the time was the IMF used to go in, do something incredibly clever and get out without anyone really noticing. The Langley infiltration was probably the most MI thing of the entire franchise. Also worth mentioning this is not the version we got in the cinema with scenes like Ethan smashing Jim's wife cut. It's the tunnel between France & England, its a big ass tunnel.

"It's old, therefore tacky" An intelligent critique

[@stereo999]

Lalo Schifrin wrote the theme (for the original TV show). Danny Elfman did the rest of the music

Anyone who likes Mission impossible will unequivocally love the Bourne spy movie franchise.

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

As for other great spy films, you can't go wrong with the James Bond franchise (well, you can, depending on the movie, but most of them are fun if you accept them as products of their time), and the Jason Bourne movies starring Matt Damon. All of those would be reaction content worthy because of their popularity. An underrated spy movie that doesn't get a lot of attention is SALT, starring Angeline Jolie. It was clearly meant to be the beginning of a franchise, but it didn't do well at the box office. Which is a shame, because it's actually really good. It has the same kind of plot twisting as M:I, and some pretty decent action. Angelina Jolie is a believable action heroine, but I think general audiences weren't ready for a female spy hero yet. Speaking of which, ATOMIC BLONDE, with Charlize Theron, is a great recent spy thriller with amazing action sequences. You might like that one, too. It's more like JOHN WICK than like M:I, but does have plenty of Cold War spy intrigue going on.

Please keep watching these movies. The franchise only gets better as it goes on.

[@SeanBlader]

The movie that got me to tolerate Tom Cruise was Days of Thunder. Where he also met future wife Nicole Kidman.

[@Freyja_Broko]

The epic journey begins.

[@captainwohop]

In 1996, we didn’t know how asinine making up random email addresses to find the EXACT person you were looking for was.

[@pjbarney9580]

one of the few series movies that get better as they go on

[@ethanmilton7083]

YAY FINALLY THE MI SERIES
