Back in the day, I saw the first one with my father, who grew up on the show. The reveal that Jim Phelps was the villain really shook him, and he never followed up with the series afterwards. It's a great movie, the first one, but that twist is kind of appalling. It's like if you did a Batman show today and realized that Old Bruce Wayne was secretly working with the Joker.
I haven't watched these movies, but a good friend of mine used to love Tom Cruise. She would call herself Adriana Hunt, and call me Brandt (as in William Brandt).
This is interesting. Never thought about ranking the Mission Impossible movies. I watched the TV series but could never get involved in the movies. I guess I can't rate or rant something I haven't seen. So, I guess I have chosen not to accept this assignment.
I mean, you do you; but MI3 would be higher for me. Its not just a good movie, its a good movie from JJ Abrams, who I usually think lets great ideas overcrowd his movies and doesn't think about characters perspective being different from an audiences', and MI3 suffers from neither.
I love the original. I don’t care if the set pieces aren’t as grand but nothing beats a Brian De Palma film

You can always choose to accept the mission later!

Tom Cruise's performance is legendary in Fallout. He pushes the boundaries.
