Chris Stuckmann's Review: • Mission: Impossible - ...
M:I: Fallout Trailer #1: • Mission: Impossible - ...
If you’re in need of an adrenaline rush, look no further. Mission: Impossible Fallout can be your quick fix. So we’re six movies into this franchise and there seems to be no signs of it running out of gas anytime soon. Mission: Impossible is the rare franchise that seems to get better with age. A very big part of it, if not the biggest is Tom Cruise who is without a doubt the biggest action movie star working today. The amount of effort he puts into his movies is outstanding. He performs a lot of the stunts himself and they just seem to get bigger and better each time. In Ghost Protocol he scaled the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. In Rogue Nation he hanged from a cargo plane as it took off. In this movie he drives a motorcycle against traffic at high speeds without a helmet and flies a helicopter like 4 inches away from crashing into rocks. He even broke his foot on this one scene where he jumps from one building into another without any cables by the way. He’s also the first actor to ever do a HALO jump, which is a High Altitude Low Opening jump where the cinematographer shot him with a camera on his helmet as they were falling. It’s insane. If risking your own life for the sake of entertainment isn’t being devoted to your job I don’t know what is. The man is 56 years old and he’s doing the craziest stunts of his career now. Tom Cruise, you have our respect. It’s also the first real direct sequel in the Mission: Impossible franchise since it was directed by Christopher Mcquarrie who also directed the last movie. As well as being the first in the franchise where you kind of have to watch the last movie to fully understand what happens here.

[@devinlyle7105]

I know I am quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online ?

[@parkergriffin4388]

@Devin Lyle i watch on Flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@troycallan4776]

@Parker Griffin definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for months myself =)

[@devinlyle7105]

@Parker Griffin Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!

[@parkergriffin4388]

@Devin Lyle happy to help =)

[@pasajerodelabrujula8261]

It is his greatest strength because he’d never pull it off alone. It’s that devotion he shows his team that has his team devoted to him. His greatest weakness is his greatest strength.

[@PlanetXerox]

Listen up people and superheros: This is how you make an action flick. Real, atmospheric, wide and authentic, no cheats, shaky cams, and quick cuts.

[@contracostaexpert]

You nailed 2 points. 1) This series is getting better with every movie. 2) Camerawork and screenplay were Oscar worthy.

[@jackbinger4821]

Bob Georgiou the screenplay is definitely not Oscar worthy lmao the film's strength are in its set pieces and action stunts

[@contracostaexpert]

Normally I would agree with you but 1) This has been a terrible year for good movies and 2) the combination of strorytelling using camera angles during action action sequences against beautiful panoramic backdrops is exemplary and above the fray.

[@jonnjakesonn602]

As long as you don't count MI: 2, yes, they get better with each film. But 2 was just... awful lol

[@neil3500]

The camerawork in this film is so good. The screenplay though, okay, but not really Oscar worthy.

[@jonnjakesonn602]

@@neil3500 no, the screenplay was incredible. The only non-oscar worthy part of the film is the fact that it's about nukes. That's it, everything else is exceptional

[@jamesburgess2k]

I wholeheartedly agree with Tom when he said, they found the blueprint with MI4. Tom Cruise is great and all, but the supporting cast is just as interesting, and most importantly, vital to the story in the films. From a cast standpoint, this was the best in the series, from villains to supporting roles. Making it just as captivating when Cruise is off screen. And the cinematography....wow! This is a very very close second to MI rogue nation imo. But maybe after multiple viewings, it make take the number one spot.

[@Lucalaurin]

while I really loved fallout I don't think anyone can top the performance of p.s. hoffman in MI3. That was one of the best movie villain portrayals in history and not just in the mission impossible franchise imo. I agree that the supporting cast plays a big role in the franchise though since tom cruises character doesn't really have much of a character himself really and I think they used the supporting cast quite beautifully in the newest iteration of the franchise.

[@aslicantuter14]

I completely agree with you, I really didn't have any high expectations going into this movie but I was completely blown away by it. The stunts, the cinematography, the twists and also the humor was amazing. Tom Cruise never ceases to amaze me.

This comment reigns supreme.

[@FallenAngelRecords]

This was legit the best action film of 2018, I think it should genuinely get a nomination for the screenplay and camerawork if not anything else, it's time Academy honor the people who make it happen.

[@ChanoWilliams]

Saw it three times in IMAX! Loved it!

[@conleydickerson5029]

Excellent film probably my favorite in the franchise and one of the best films in the recent past. Although he did have a cable the stunts are insane. A HALO jump I mean, for real? Tom Cruise is no doubt the best action movie star who is currently still working

[@Hama54k1]

1:30 He had a cable, don't exaggerate. ^^

[@Abhi-ms8pk]

I was gonna mention the same.

[@vincentarceo7655]

Lol the graham Norton shows it

[@ahmadrahimkhan]

O yeah? Can you do that? If you can, you are still not Tom Cruise , so fuck off

[@NathanielWhittoUpdates]

He did have cables on that jump. He's not Superman!

[@saulspanco854]

There's no way Tom Cruise isn't associated with Illuminati if he looks like that at 56 lol.

[@soufian2733]

Saul Spanco not illuminati; scientology (which is arguably worse)

[@raulpetrascu2696]

Just be rich and care about your looks, no need to be in the Illuminati. A little plastic surgery goes a long way

[@gabrielmendez5561]

That sums it up pretty much perfectly, the only thing that you didn’t mention that was great was also the score for the film. Although a bit reminiscent at times to The Dark Knight Rises I’d say the film’s score is the best in the series, really acting as a driving point of the movie, and intensifying the scenes

[@danielbaek8455]

You guys should make videos on Pan’s Labyrinth, Call Me by Your Name, La La Land, and Howard the Duck. I highly recommend the last movie.

[@jonnjakesonn602]

Best in the entire series. One of the top 5 greatest films of all time. Best film of the year, no contest. A+

[@TheHelghast1138]

Waaahhhooooo!!!! Thank you!!!! You guys rock!!! I went to go watch this on the night of my 3rd anniversary with my lady, we both loved this epic Adrenaline Rush of a movie!!! Thank you for all that you do!!! MI2 is my favorite btw :)

[@SimpleAgario]

I dont know any other franchise where its movies get better and more beloved everytime. I'm already hyped for the next one and I'm also curious if they can top themselves yet again.

[@sajanmathew211]

The most "beautiful" action movie I have seen 😍 Already watched this twice in theatres

[@EyebrowCinema]

Leaving a like for now. Will swing back when I finally see Fallout. Cheers.

[@Idnowhatever]

I didn't know Agent-007 name was Etha, I guess the more you know

[@RossIsFine]

Henry Caville also did his own stunts

[@matthewrobinson6872]

My favorite is Ghost Protocol but this I think is the best one they've made if that makes sense.

[@iceman36021]

Ghost Protocol is still my favorite of the franchise i liked them all though

[@tylerr386]

One of the best action movie

[@subtextualarchives]

McQuarrie is the real genius behind the rejuvination of this franchise. Idon't think he is given enough credit. Good video , though.

[@davekeyart7641]

Man great video but.. Tom had wires on him when he was jumping (when he broke his foot) and during HALO jump it wasnt cinematographer with him but Camera Operator :) just a lil things I needed to say.

[@TheLMescobar]

Great Review, for me is still a close race along with Rogue Nation and Fallout

[@elozaa]

Got dang! This movie had me on edge!!! Watch it if you are able!!!!

[@MrDavidschloss]

bruh nice vid but he did have cables on that Jump. ive watched the behind the scenes

[@ArthCinema]

I finally could see it today, and wow, IMO the best one of the saga and one of the best films of this year if you want non-stopping action. Btw, great vid xD

[@soufian2733]

Oscar-worthy

[@qalmost618]

Tom cruse is the American Jackie chan

[@fedorbrockmann1698]

Great vid but that one scene surely was filmed with cables

[@ayyash5177]

Thanks for this video! I loved the movie!

[@theafricanamericanpodcasts5244]

If its comparable to mad max then I'm in. Still haven't seen it yet but hopefully this week I'll get to it. Nice video, keep em coming

[@AMatterofFilm]

Totally worth it!

[@benjwilliams98]

Just a quick edit! Great video btw no criticisms just that here 1:30 he does have cables jut removed you can see the video with them on the graham norton show. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3-3XqeGp99nha8)

[@imshubhajit]

*with the help of Cable

[@Chappel1994]

While I agree with everything you said, there was one aspect of the film that I felt was a let down when compared to it's predecessors. The "Mission: Impossible" films are great for it's deception and twists (Certain characters allegiances, enemies are actually allies, the trickery being hidden from the main baddie AS WELL AS the audience), however, I feel that "MI - Fallout" was far too predictable when compared to its other films. When watching I could almost predict where the next "twist" was coming from. While this did not make the film unwatchable or unenjoyable, it certainly deflated the experience somewhat.

[@kingvince7328]

Can you do a video on "the boy in the striped pajamas"? I thought it was a really good movie and definitely deserves some attention. Just a request.

[@Johnny_Boy503]

This movie was great and Tome cruise is the man.

[@dpjanes]

Did you say Quarrieography @ about 3:06?

[@Dezryder]

Best MI movie of all.

[@diogogomes3238]

tom cruise and keanu reeves are the best action actors ever! they go beyond impossible

[@b8la]

HALO low altitude low oxigen

[@matyasrudolf244]

Poor guy didnt see John Wick

[@morphorod]

I enjoyed it a great deal and the set pieces really are the movie. However, I felt like it was predictable which wore some of the mystique off for me. It’s definitely the best one in the franchise and Cruises work deserves some sort of award but the movie overall was just good not very good or even great. Maybe I need to see it again on an imax screen, I don’t know.

[@sz8526]

Very nice analysis. Was wondering if I should see the movie. Great video as always. Mind checking out my Kendrick Lamar video? It means a lot
