It's been almost 20 years since Tom Cruise took on the mantle of Ethan Hunt, seemingly the only member of the Impossible Missions Force, and "Rogue Nation" is his 5th cinematic outing. This time around, his organization is under fire by CIA boss, Alec Baldwin, and a Senate Sub-committee voting to disband the IMF, stating most of their successes are based off of Luck than actual tactics. Hunt and his team have faced overwhelming odds in past film; from their own leader going rogue, to stopping a super virus, to a really mad Philip Seymour Hoffman, to stopping a nuke mid-air after accidentally blowing up the Kremlin. Now with no more IMF or governmental support, Ethan Hunt is searching for the secret organization that possibly has ties to everything thats happened in the past, known only as "The Syndicate" which also has infiltrated the IMF at its heart, and Ethan can only trust his team; Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner. The rest of the films usually introduces a larger cast of team members who inadvertently die on missions or from treachery, but this time its just returners. But this film isn't just about the boys, the female lead.. and really, only woman in the movie, Ilsa Faust played by Rebecca Ferguson (who i thought was Michelle Monaghan at first) does her fair share of asskicking, double / triple crossing... its really kind of hard to tell whose team she's on. There's almost a love story between Hunt and Faust, but Ethan is still married or has a fiancé but she's never addressed, he just let her go at the end of Ghost Protocol.

Mission Impossible: Rouge Nation is the most fun Mission Impossible ever. It offers epic action sequences, gorgeous locations and big laughs. There's no real character growth or anything, just procedural action sequences, Rogue Nation knows exactly what it is, it's more, more adventure, more humor, more excitement. You know who everyone is, and you know you'll probably never see the female lead again as seems to be the case with M:I female leads, which is sad, because Ferguson carries most of the film. Her character, Faust is the central source of pathos, as her life hangs in the balance, being played with by her government and the baddies and the only person she can trust is Ethan Hunt. Jeremy Renner reprises his role as Brandt, taking the backseat in most of the excitement, Ving Rhames's Luther gets more field time and shows why he's best the guy offsite, while Simon Pegg's Benji is more confident in his role as a hacker turned field agent. Though the centerpointe for all the action is Tom Cruise, whether he's flushing himself down a giant toilet, escaping an opera house, in a motorcycle chase through Morocco or hanging off the side of a cargo plane, there's little Ethan Hunt can't accomplish.

While Rogue Nation has a stand-alone feel, its also a direct sequel to Ghost Protocol. Never before in a Mission Impossible movie have they ever addressed what happened in any movie before, this one recaps what new audience members may have missed in films past, while also never mentioning what happened with any other members of the IMF. But I can live with that, if I want to see gorgeous set pieces, insane action sequences, Tom Cruise risking his life and Simon Pegg making fun of everything, I'll gladly come back to the theatre for more Mission Impossible films if they just focus on. Where the film felt a bit lacking to me, was in the gadget department. Mission Impossible movies are known for their amazing tech. In Ghost Protocol, the BMW i8 that Ethan drives to the Indian Billionaire's party in, I thought we would never see, it looked too futuristic; In Los Angeles the i8 is everywhere now. While all the heroes drive Bimmers (and one Range Rover) the only cool car thing is a biometric reader on the drivers side window to lock and unlock the car. That seemed cool, and a way to get smudgy windows. The only other cool toy was an automatic lockpick credit card, there were a few unorthodox firearms in the film as well, but no exploding gum, no laser watches or dynamite pens (granted a few of those are Bond staples, but still).

Na szczęście Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation okazało się świetnym filmem akcji. Tom Cruise przechodzi samego siebie a jego wyczyny kaskaderskie zapierają dech w piersiach. Historia wydaje się być świeża, a aktorzy idealnie pasujący do swoich ról. Dorzućmy do tego jeszcze genialną muzykę i mamy jeden z lepszych filmów akcji ostatnich lat.

The story in Rogue Nation is about Ethan Hunt and his team face their biggest and most dangerous threat yet (Would you believe it) The Syndicate, an international rogue group that are as skilled as they are deadly - and their number one goal is to eliminate the IMF.

Before I talk about Rogue Nation here is all my thoughts on the previous Mission Impossible movies. The first movie in my opinion was decent and a lot of hard work went into that film, I mean you look at the behind the scenes of the first movie people really worked they ass of on that movie and to me it paid off nicely. I give the first movie a strong 3/5 star's.

Mission Impossible 2 was pretty terrible to be honest. I felt like I was watching a different movie because to me I didn't feel like the first movie or even a Mission Impossible movie. I'm giving Mission Impossible 2 a 2/5 star's.

Mission Impossible 3 really got things back on track after the messy MI 2. Philip Seymour Hoffman was a great villain and JJ. Abrams did a good job directing the action scenes and the whole movie. I'm giving the third one a 3½ / 5 star's.

Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol was pretty good. The actions scenes and the characters are the highlight of the movie. My only problem with the movie is that the villain was a bit weak and wasn't really that menacing. Overall I'm giving Ghost Protocol movie a solid 4/5 star's.

And now for Rogue Nation and it was a very enjoyable movie and I liked it a little more than Ghost Protocol.

I was a bit worried but at the same time interesting on what Christopher McQuarrie will bring to a franchise like this, because this is the same guy who directed Jack Reacher and I though that movie was okay but nothing special. Brad Bird was originally suppose to direct this movie but dropped out because he wanted to direct Tomorrowland and then Christopher McQuarrie stepped in. After seeing the movie I'm so happy to say that Christopher McQuarrie did a great job directing this movie as he added a lot to this movie when it comes to action and it's characters. McQuarrie really gave the actions scenes a feeling of rush and the action never got stale after wards like some action movies do after awhile. Nicely done Christopher McQuarrie.

It's crazy how Tom Cruise is 50 years old and he's doing all of his own stunts for his fans and keep it real and not over use CGI. He was great in this movie like in everyone movie Tom Cruise was in. You can tell by his face that he's in the zone when he dose these stunts that could kill him or hurt him really bad. Tom Cruise nailed the humor, he nailed the action scenes and he nailed the role.

Many people and myself had no idea who Rebecca Ferguson was before Rogue Nation. She was in last years Hercules with Dwayne Johnson that nobody remembered and I already forgotten that movie already. Rebecca Ferguson was so good in this movie that she is going places after this because of how good she was. In this movie she was like the female Liam Neeson from Taken because it's the whole "I'm going to kill you in one blow" kind of character. Rebecca and Cruise worked together perfectly and she nailed the role of a strong female character.

Simon Pegg was great in this movie playing Benji. It's surprising that not a lot of people give him credit in this movie as his known best at comedy but he's also a great action actor star as well, he proved that in Ghost protocol, Rogue Nation and Hot Fuzz.

The rest of the cast like: Ving Rhames, Jeremy Renner and Alec Baldwin all did great in this movie.

The one thing that the Mission Impossible movies doesn't do very well is it's villain. Philip Seymour Hoffman was the only good villain in Mission Impossible series but the rest of villains have been weak and pretty forgettable. But the villain in Rogue Nation has a lot of motivation and he's the kind of villain that you understand where is coming from. Sean Harris dose a great performance as this chilling character but it wasn't an incredible villain but still better than the one we got in the other movies.

Now for the problems: The movie itself isn't flawless as these some scenes in the movie that the pacing dragged a little bit and when the characters have conversations about the gadgets and stuff it wasn't that interesting as Ghost Protocol did it better, because Ghost Protocol was a straight up action movie filled with humor and entertaining characters and when they have conversations about gadgets it was interesting and creative.

Overall Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation isn't only just a good action movie it's a good movie on it's own. The movie took elements from the first movie and Ghost Protocol and puts it together in this movie which made it a very entertaining movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ethan Hunt and team take on their most impossible mission yet, tracking down the Syndicate - a highly skilled international rogue organization, committed to destroying the IMF.

The fifth entry in a franchise that began almost twenty years ago, still starring now 53 year old Tom Cruise, the MI films have offered memorable action and ‘Rogue Nation’ doesn’t disappoint, but it feels like we’ve been here before.

Tom Cruise assembles his usual colleagues Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames to eliminate the threat posed by the Syndicate. With CIA director (Alec Baldwin) determined to shut down the IMF and newcomer Rebecca Ferguson as the agent whose allegiance is a mystery, there’s much to keep the audience engaged. Sean Harris as the main villain, however, isn’t up to much apart from wearing stylish spectacles and delivering a performance that’s not too far off Eddie Redmayne in Jupiter Ascending. Well, maybe not THAT bad, but not memorable either.

From the incredible opening plane stunt, a fight scene played out in the Vienna Opera House that outdoes Bond at his own game, to a frantic car/bike chase within the narrow streets of Morocco, these sequences had me holding my breath. Yet funnily enough the one scene that failed to impress as much was the underwater vault mission, with it’s CGI heavy visuals and poor execution/realisation, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

‘Jack Reacher' director Christopher McQuarrie doesn’t bring anything that sets it apart drastically from Brad Bird’s Ghost Protocol, with familiar beats like face masks, double agents, a weak villain and uh, ‘disavowed’. Yet i still enjoyed myself because thankfully it’s not a turn-your-brain off type effort. Tom Cruise’s energy and drive push this film. Pacing, tone and humour are all handled well, the performances and dialogue are decent enough. The action direction is excellent, no shakey cam or over editing. If you came for the stunts alone, you won’t leave unhappy. Despite all that, there’s a feeling that the producers might rest on their laurels after hitting a groove that began with MI4.… Expand

As Benji, Simon Pegg endears himself to the audience AGAIN! His character is funny, smart and he continues showing us his action chops. Tom Cruise keeps us wondering "how does he do it?" He shows us he is an action star and is very comfortable and likable (mostly) in this genre. Aside from his occasional William Shatner style of line delivery, what you see is what you get and the getting is pretty darn good. Alec Baldwin shows the softer side of his "good guy, bad guy" portrayals. I was expecting to really dislike Alan Hunley, but, surprise, I couldn't no matter how much I anticipated that I would. If you are a fan of this franchise, this will keep you a fan. It isn't Shakespeare or Mr. Holmes, but it's a summer blockbuster with all the special effects, pyrotechnics, muscle flexing, fire power, intrigue and the beautiful and young femme fatale. So cozy up to your popcorn and turn your cellphone off. If you blink, you'll miss something.… Expand

Welcome back to the wonderland where impossible things happen nine times out of ten, and human bodies don't break down as they use to in the real world, even if one happens to crash with a superbike!

Yes, it's the fifth "Mission:Welcome back to the wonderland where impossible things happen nine times out of ten, and human bodies don't break down as they use to in the real world, even if one happens to crash with a superbike!

Yes, it's the fifth "Mission: Impossible", aiming for the same throne as "Fast and Furious" and 007 series, among many others. This is the genre colloquially known as "competence porn", which means usually drama or action movies full of skilful and powerful people doing tricky stuff which you should not try at home. And watching them do their thang, all confident and **** is a big part of the viewing pleasure.

"M:I" is all about action and big setpieces, starting strong with the airplane-infiltration and never letting us down later either. Quality job all around. As usual, action relies heavily on orchestrated movement, so, don't expect much realism.

I would say that "Rogue Nation" doesn't try to be as massive action movie as two of the previous ones, or most of the "Fast and Furious", or 007 with Daniel Craig. But the result works well, everything is in its right place and there's always enough entertainment.

The plot and the characters are really thin, to make room for the big setpieces. So there's not much to remember afterwards to call it a real classic. After all, there are so many epic action movies these days, even fairy-tales go this way now. But I really liked "Rogue Nation". Tom Cruise still knows how to get down like them youngsters!… Expand

Rebecca Ferguson is also great, though I will admit it was very frustrating how despite the fact that she kept betraying everyone, Lane just kept giving her more chances. You'd think he'd just kill her by now.

Speaking of Lane, I like him. He's no Philip Seymour Hoffman, but Sean Harris is still one of the most interesting MI villains if solely for the choices he makes with his performance.

Not much else say other than it's a badass action movie and probably the entry where I most care about the story. Not as slickly directed or well paced as the previous one, but it makes up for it. Boy does it make up for it.… Expand

It's also a bit more action-paced than recent "thinking" spy flicks like Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (which, incidentally, I enjoyed tremendously). It hits a nice middle-ground between the two extremes and results in an enjoyable movie with familiar characters, an understandable plot, low-body-count action, and a satisfying conclusion.
In this installment, the IMF is back to doing what it does best – defending the world from certain annihilation while working without the cover of government protection or authority (again…where does the money come from?). Ethan Hunt is off the radar, staying one step ahead of the CIA and one step behind his enemy until he is able to reunite his team to do the “Impossible” (thus the title, right?). There isn’t a lot of new territory here, and “The Syndicate” doesn’t sound all that different from the version of SPECTRE we’ll be seeing later in the year. However, it is well-crafted and well-executed, and is therefore a good example of what movies do best – escapist and enjoyable.
This could be a personal opinion, but "Rogue Nation" felt much more like the original movie than any of the others in the series. Not only do we have an explicit reference to the original NOC-list heist, but the movie’s locations, lighting, and pacing lend it the same air of foreign charm that helped separate the original from predecessor Bond and Bourne movies. While the movie drags in spaces, there are a few scenes which are balletic in their execution – the complicated “chase” scene above the Vienna Opera House being the most obvious example.
All in all, enjoyable and recommended.… Expand

The IMF mightThe IMF outperform MI6's '00' section at their own game. Much like James Bond, Ethan hunt has to go rogue after his program gets shutdown because there's a powerful, sinister organization out there headed by a menacing villain. The IMF might not be able to hold a candle to the Kingsman, but Cruise makes sure to leave Craig in the dust.

It hits some familiar beats the spy movie genre is known for. This leads to a sense of predictability in it's twists, turns, and potential double-crosses. That's not to say it isn't exciting. Well-crafted action, breezy plot, likable cast, and appreciated sense of humor keep things entertaining. Now when I say humor I don't mean that this is part comedy like Kingsman: The Secret Service was. The movie does intend to make you laugh in a way to keep things light and say "hey, this is a fun spy movie."

And fun it is. "Rogue Nation" manages to avoid being overly serious while still having a solid plot with a sense of danger. The fun side of things complements everything well and the cast is incredibly strong and all sense of chemistry with one another that over films should rightfully envy. With one of the best chase scenes in years and Rebecca Ferguson bringing the sexiness that the latest Bond flick was sorely lacking, The latest Mission: Impossible proves to be another enjoyable spy flick despite not moving the genre forward. It delivers the moments of impossibility that it's title implies. That's enough for me.

Rogue Nation is a nice return to form for the Missions, with a good story and some really clever sequences.

There isn't anything really original in this Mission Impossible but it is wildly entertaining with well edited action scenes. As usual in all these films, Tom Cruise should of died 10 times over but that is what makes this series what it is.

Simon Pegg is also very good (and very funny) is a supporting role here, as is Jeremy Renner. Super stylish, the film truly does come to life in IMAX and look sleek and is beautifully shot. Above all, it is magnificently choreographed. The action sequences are masterfully put together and look beautiful to the eye. As a an overall film, Rogue Nation is alright. As I said, it certainly does not reinvent the spy genre and uses many of the tried and true cliches along the way. If it was not so wonderfully done, it would have been a lot less enjoyful due to this fact. However, as it stands, Mission: Impossible continues to be an impressively long lasting franchise in large part thanks to Tom Cruise's refusal to age.… Expand

The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, so I was caught off guard when it turned out to be less than I had expected. The main problem with the film is that it sorely lacks any distinctive or memorable action sequence. The only one of any note (it involves a lot of water and very little oxygen) was interesting and unique, but it didn't last very long. As for the characters, I wish Cruise's compatriots had had more screentime. The best aspect of this film is the female lead, who really outshines Cruise in every scene. She has great screen presence.
Overall, I'd say I enjoyed this MI less than its predecessor. It's not a bad film, but I left the theater feeling pretty blase about it.… Expand

Mission Impossible is back, with Tom Cruise still hanging around with his great performance to action and acting. Rogue Nation starts pretty fast with a stunning opening-sequence and a beautiful first act that's touching, artistic and beautiful. Simon Pegg co-stars as the somewhat newcomer to the spy-genre and contributes in his own funny & entertaining way. The plot progresses in a less action-packed version, and it place more energy to dialogs and chemistry between characters rather than on action. It’s one thing that might be boring for some, and awesome to others. For me was it a somewhat boring ride with all the dry dialogs and more talking than doing. But the dialogs are of course still very good even though that there are some classic “obvious reaction dialogs” and that I expected more action. The action that is present is on the other hand very intense and somewhat unique. Some of them stands out as a brand and original concept, meanwhile others are the same that we’ve already seen. Rogue Nation is a very stunning and, on my behalf, a critically acclaimed movie that got many things from strong actors to a well written story. The villain however, got no depth, and some of the minor characters are so non-existing due to lack of plot-details around them. Some of them are just there for a specific reason to enlighten the power of the film. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is still a great movie, even though I was deeply disappointed due to lack of action and a less interesting plot that made the dialogs a bit dry. The plot is still slightly unique, even though I expected more due to the trailers, but the humor is still what I was hoping for! So random and hilarious!

It’s obviously a disappointment from my point of view because the movie isn't that much more intense than the trailers, and it’s not that rememberable either. I expected a lot more, even though it really is a stunning and critically great action-flick with exquisite acting, a well written script and well visualized characters.

2015 could easily be dubbed the “Year of the Spy” with the subversive and entertaining ‘Kingsman’, hit Melissa McCarthy comedy ‘Spy’, the upcoming Guy Ritchie 60’s romp ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ and the 24th “Bond” ‘Spectre’ later in the2015 could easily be dubbed the “Year of the Spy” with the subversive and entertaining ‘Kingsman’, hit Melissa McCarthy comedy ‘Spy’, the upcoming Guy Ritchie 60’s romp ‘The Man from U.N.C.L.E.’ and the 24th “Bond” ‘Spectre’ later in the year, but with the 5th ‘Mission Impossible’ installment ‘Rogue Nation’ Tom Cruise reminds us he’s still in the fight.

By now we all know what to expect from a Mission Impossible movie and ‘Rogue Nation’ ticks all the boxes, a simple plot featuring an appropriately menacing villain, gadgets, double-agents and superbly executed action set-pieces throughout.

But aside from the impressive stunts performed largely by Mr. Cruise himself as we’re often reminded, it’s the comic sensibility and sense of adventure that makes ‘Rogue Nation’ entertaining, taking the audience to far-flung locales from Belarus to Washington DC, Vienna to Morocco and focusing much of the narrative in London.

Despite its entertainment value however ‘Rogue Nation‘s’ appeal is limited by the same factors that limit other ‘Mission Impossible’ films and spy sequels in general, after a strong start the story loses steam and starts to look like a blueprint for threading huge action set-pieces together.

There are only so many impressive stunts you can take and still maintain a high level of engagement and the predictably menacing villain with an unconvincing motivation doesn’t help, still despite its limitations ‘Rogue Nation’ is entertaining enough to hold your attention for over 2 hours and after 5 films in the franchise, star and producer Tom Cruise & Co. have fine-tuned the formula.

The Bottom Line…
Action-packed, adventurous and entertaining, ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’ can’t quite break the limitations of the genre but it’s a worthy summer blockbuster if you know what to expect when going in… and by now we all should.… Expand

A slightly lesser effect than Ghost Protocol which had reinvigorated the franchise with superior action set pieces and introducing the best IMF team since the original where all members felt essential. It recycles plot points ripped from previous entries (e.g. Disavowed/dismantled team, another stunt where Hunt has to retrieve data from a maximum security vault). No action set piece quite matches the impressive Burj Khalifa stunt from Protocol (the trailer highlight of Hunt holding on to the plane for dear life as it takes off is a card played too early and nothing matches the spectacle of this for the rest of the film). Protocol is a better film simply because it utilizes the team more effectively. It had a good balance for making all members essential where as Rogue can feel at times like a solo Cruise action film with team members on the phone for moral support. Rogue attempts to increase the comic banter from Simon Pegg's Benji character and a lot of the film functions as a two man funny team (which is its biggest strength) however Jeremy Renner and Ving Rhames get mostly sidelined which is disappointing. The film introduces a new female double agent played by Rebecca Ferguson working simultaneously with Hunt and the enemy but her double crosses are textbook 'Bond Girl' although Ferguson has potential in future entries if her character is more fleshed out rather than simply acting as a distraction for Hunt to chase and lose sight of the mission objectives at crucial moments. Rogue also has a weak villain (Sean Harris is usually terrifying and creepy in other roles; in Rogue he feels restrained) and forgettable final confrontation which isn't as memorable as the train sequence from the original film. Overall, this film displays an aging Cruise as a action star with plenty of gas left in the tank but the next film should hopefully contain a stronger more essential team that Hunt needs in the game at all times and not just in the backseat.… Expand

The doors are closing, the plane is starting up and the cargo is still on board.Chemicals are being loaded on a cargo plane, engines are about to start, those doors need to stay open and that cargo needs to get off the plane. Problem is... The doors are closing, the plane is starting up and the cargo is still on board.

Simon Peggs Agent Benji Dunn is waiting for someone and they are nowhere to be found. Jeremy Renner’s Agent William Brandt, on the other end of the line is stuck behind a monitor and is not even there to help.

The mission is about to turn critical... With no one else around my heart starts racing. The plane hits the tarmac and starts to rev its agents and Tom Cruises Ethan Hunt, runs up, out of seemingly nowhere, ready to jump on and risk his life fictionally and literally hanging from the doors of the plane as it lifts off! This is what mission impossible is all about.

This amazing set up is what begins this new chapter, now the fifth in the franchise (there will be a sixth) and all the characters and team that were so brilliantly put together in the previous instalment 'Ghost Protocol' (directed by the wonderful Brad Bird) is mostly all intact apart from the loss of ' Paula' Also we finally see the proper return of Ving Rhames as 'Luther'

It is nice to finally have a team we can rely on returning. Unlike the first three films in which the only real characters to stick around was the ageless Cruise and the always witty Rhames.

This time around we see them once again going rogue and on the run from a threat known only as The Syndicate. A very clever shadow organisation that seems to be dead on eradicating the Impossible Mission Force once and for all.

This premise is exciting and it starts off so damn well. Until we start seeing more and more of the organisation and its brains. Such a generic villain is what gives this otherwise brilliant spy flick a kick in the teeth. Played by Shaun Harris (From TV Series The Borgias). He gets his role through and does the job he intends. But with a lot less threatening whim as any previous villain we have seen in the franchise yet. I still think Philip Seymour Hoffman in MI3 was by far the best (Who doesn't like a secret weapon called a Rabbit Foot?).

The break out star of this show is the beautiful and witty Rebecca Ferguson (Duane Johnsons 'Hercules') ‘Seen Pictured’
she plays such a great character. Who doesn't love a strong female lead? Those eyes are so mystifying and you’re never quite sure where the hell she is going to end up, or on which side she lands. I hope we see more of her in years to come.

The Director Christopher McQuarrie (Edge of Tomorrow and Jack Reacher) brings all the cards to the table here. He makes us gasp at the right moments and laugh out loud in others. He seems to do everything right and yet it just never reaches the heights of the previous film Ghost Protocol (That Tower - Dubai's Burj Khalifa, 123 stories up was an incredible piece of movie making) the feeling that Ethan Hunt was in control and brought a brand new fiercer team together. It was so tightly woven, not a moment passed that I felt I could look away. Rogue Nation treads a lot of the same ground and to a lesser extent. It tries to be the same with more of the same. That’s not always a good thing. But it works here. I just want to see the next one take the risks that Ghost Protocol did and move the franchise forward in exciting ways. I still hate the fact they killed off Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) so quickly.

The music throughout the movie, composed by Joe Kramer hits all the right notes and some clever new ones. For a little known composer (previous movies Jack Reacher, Way Of The Gun) it has some excellent scores!

If you love the series so far and you can handle seeing a lot more of Tom Cruise doing what Cruise does best (putting his life on the line for entertainment) you won’t be disappointed. It definitely has a lot more laughs than previous films and i believe its now comfortable in its new shell. Just don’t go in expecting anything more.… Expand

The plot is virtually identical to every Mission Impossible movie since the first one. If you haven't seen them, then this one will be fresh, but if you have seen ANY of them, then the formula will be wholly recognizable.

Rogue Nation = [Ethan Hunt + his IMF team (in the last few movies that's been Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, and la femme du jour minus my bad Francais)] + the IMF is on the verge of being shut down for one reason or another + Hunt enlists the help of his associates + there's a heist of some sort from an impenetrable location + Hunt almost dies doing the impossible (as someone said in one of the earlier films "this isn't mission difficult, it's mission impossible") = most of the team lives to save the world another day, not including the franchise opener, in which his team got mercked, which really was a plus for the film.

Sound familiar? That was the formula and plot from Mission Impossible #2, #3, and #4 - if you want the one for #5 - see the above formula and add a couple years Cruise...

Though dramatic, I believe Bourne gets it right; the suspense and drama completely engross me because the realism is there. Bond is also more my style, although being less realistic than the Bourne films. It's very different from Mission Impossible. Even though I know it's fiction, it still has the air of possibility (despite the name), making it more difficult to watch. Everything from the disguises to the escapes to the chases and the final sting is just too well-executed, coordinated, and implausible.

With all leading actors and actresses coming back to reprise their roles weWith possibly the best entry to date coming out for the MI series in 2011 (Ghost Protocol), we had plenty of reasons to be excited for a new Mission Impossible film. With all leading actors and actresses coming back to reprise their roles we had an idea of what we could expect. However, the film ultimately under delivers and creates something that is for the most part unmemorable.
The film begins with an epic and exciting piece of Tom Cruise trying to enter a moving plane which is both tense and funny to watch – especially knowing that Tom Cruise actually did the stunt. Albeit this, I couldn’t help but realise that this scene all of a sudden kind of made me feel a little more sceptical about the rest of the film, as if you had seen the adverts you would’ve known that this scene was one of the main selling points for the film and then, 2 minutes into the film they just throw it away. Great.
The film also continues with a one note bad guy who is completely unforgettable. To act his part of the bad guy he ranges from speaking almost inaudibly and with so little emotion that it was frustrating to watch him and then to make him show he is a scary guy if mad, he has a wonderful little eye twitch to make you really nervous. Obviously he has made a better villain than Hoffman’s portrayal in MI:3 (please detect sarcasm).
The story also has a sort of incoherence to it and disorderly fashion to it that makes it a bit bland but once all characters meet up it becomes quite fun, even though the ending to the film is pretty stupid and doesn’t really make any sense as to how it would’ve been possible to set up. There are also other scenes in the film that are outright **** as well, and I’m all up for a bit of non-realism every now and then but as for one scene in particular I just found it a bit too much. Having Tom Cruise fall of a motorcycle at breakneck speeds not wearing any leather s but instead a Hawaiian t shirt and come off completely unscathed (at the speed he was going out he should’ve been dead anyway) is just too much for me to handle. That **** is impossible (hohoho).
Now I have the negatives off my chest I can move onto the positives. The series has added more comedy into the films as they’ve gone along and they are a great addition, with the 5th entry adding some hilarious scenes into the mix. There are also a few pretty awesome set action pieces, 2 noticeably cool ones being a fight at an opera house and Tom Cruise’s underwater infiltration scene. That scene though, albeit tense, was slightly stupid as you can see that they are struggling for ideas for their typical heist/infiltration scenes and the method they were using to detect intruders there seemed a bit questionable.
Overall, if you want to see an action film Rogue Nation is a fair enough candidate to pick up and watch, but if you’re expecting it to live up to Ghost Protocol, don’t hold your breath: otherwise a woman will have to dive in after you a resuscitate you.

I'll start out by saying I'm not a fanboy of any single MI movie. I had heard many good things about this movie, but it really disappointed me. It's not as good as MI3, and it doesn't even come close to MI1. It's like a mishmash of the secondI'll start out by saying I'm not a fanboy of any single MI movie. I had heard many good things about this movie, but it really disappointed me. It's not as good as MI3, and it doesn't even come close to MI1. It's like a mishmash of the second and third MI movies, meaning it has a lot of action and almost no suspense.

First off, the plot is predictable. Right from the get-go, you realize Ilsa Faust is going to be a good guy, and most likely will end the movie fighting back-to-back with Ethan. Now, the movie does start out interestingly with Ethan hanging from a side door of an airplane, but that is probably the best scene of the movie. The movie goes downhill after that as fast as the airplane takes off. The plot is predictable and rehashes all spy movie clichés: a director who doesn't believe the IMF? Check. A strangely insipid car chase (this time down some sets of shallow stairs)? Check. A motorcycle chase with the protagonist crashing and miraculously surviving, even without burns? Check. Bad guys who can't hit a target five feet in front of them? Check. It's just too predictable, and sometimes even nonsensical. Of course a device is stored inside a water-cooler cyclone... thing. Why not?

The story also suffers from some bad pacing, and the soundtrack seems largely absent when it could probably do some good.

Not only that, but the action is also very bland. That probably mainly has to do with the uninteresting choreography and the fact that it never gains momentum, but also with the awkward camera angles: the close-up camera work reminds me too much of MI3; the scenes never get heart-poundingly tense, they just look overly stylized and don't actually give your eyes any room to put things into perspective. There is no sense of 'oomph', no impact at any point. The motorcycle chase feels like it was lifted straight from the second installment.

Even the 'heist' that is being called the Mission Impossible, is not impossible at all: there is never any sense that Hunt was ever in real trouble, and the heist seemed incredibly easy. There was never any scene as suspenseful as the one with the pressure and temperature change-sensitive vault from MI1. And that's the main problem: the movie has an overly long introduction, and when it finally tells us the Mission is about to begin, the mission ends up being very simple and reaches a conclusion far too long before the psychological pressure reaches a head.

The character of Ilsa Faust is not well fleshed out, and it soon becomes clear what exactly the idea behind Ilsa's character is, and it's yet another action movie cliché. This time around, the main characters don't even become romantically involved, nor are they even very friendly; there is just no substance there. There is just something missing; the dialog is uninteresting and full of exposition, and there is little fervor, no humanity. The main antagonist, Solomon Lane, is only barely intimidating, and only in one scene. The visual presence and connection to the main character is absent, so this role is very much inferior to MI3's Owen Davian, especially when he mainly intimidates Ilsa rather than a more important character. The movie's ending doesn't actually end anything, it just feels hollow.

In conclusion, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation feels like a mishmash of MI2 and MI3, but instead of being a mixture of intrigue and infiltration with a smidgeon of action, it's full-blown action. The action is clear as day, sure, but it lacks a sense of awe and impact. There is really only one infiltration scene, and it lacks suspense and uncertainty. I think Brian De Palma needs to return and inject M:I with that classic stealth infiltration suspense and likable characters that the first movie was known for.… Expand

I view this franchise as decent on the whole. There's a weird, escalating liveliness to each sequel that is surprising. Still, the mission is always revealed to be quite possible and, though the stakes are more and more considerable with each entry, there is no risk or tension simply because killing Ethan Hunt and his team is the real Impossible Mission. The stunt choreography in this one, though, sheesh, it's pretty crazy. Mad Max: Fury Road still takes the cake for me as the best display of action stuntwork I've seen this year (and maybe my whole life), but there are some memorable, delirious set pieces to bask upon here. The whole cast functions fine, though I think Renner and Baldwin have been given the most mundane material, disappointingly. New addition Ferguson is really cool. She's way too sexualized and is giving only fleeting backstory, but aside from that, she is easily the most nuanced and human thing about this movie. It's ludicrous, it's all staged, but dammit, I enjoyed myself. It's a winking (and often quite funny), adrenaline fueled action movie, filmed with taste and grace, performed as well as one of these blockbuster behemoths can be, and all-in-all is worth, at the very least, your attendance.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not a bad movie, per se; but is very much in the summer blockbuster trope. Go in expecting cogent script writing and you'll find this movie is a 3, at best. However, go in expecting a silly fun time and you'll give it what I did, a 6+. There are many (too many) moments where everything just works out for Mr. Cruise and team, but it's not for lack of trying; one has to give Cruise an A for *trying* to still be an 80's action hero, despite his early onset age and height. Simon Pegg is really funny though and Alec, is well, Alec; which is to say always fun to watch.… Expand

" Refrito Imposible"

Tom Cruise nos presenta su quinta entrega de su franquicia Misión Imposible, basada en la mítica serie de Martín Landau, Peter Graves y Leonard Nimoy entre otros, que narraban las aventuras de un grupo agentes secretos" Refrito Imposible"

Tom Cruise nos presenta su quinta entrega de su franquicia Misión Imposible, basada en la mítica serie de Martín Landau, Peter Graves y Leonard Nimoy entre otros, que narraban las aventuras de un grupo agentes secretos que hacian misiones de espionaje o sabotaje a países enemigos o grupos terroristas. Y que en 1996 Tom Cruise se apoderaría de ella, para su uso y autosatisfacción personal.

Esta franquicia, desde sus inicios, ha sido una especie de oda y lucimiento de palmito de Tom Cruise y su sueño húmedo de ser James Bond se hace realidad, aunque, la primera película, pese a ser muy vapuleada por la critica, es la mas fidedigna a la serie,es una película de espías clásica con sus pequeños desfases y flipadas de acción, pero en general, digna. Luego vino la segunda, donde la película se convierte en un grotesco y esperpentico film que parece digno de agarralo como puedas o de Luc Besson en horas bajísimas, provocando casí que la franquicia de Mision Imposible se quedase muerta. Ya en 2006 J.J Abrams, el mister lucecitas de Hollywood, el director de Marketing por antonomasia, consigue resucitar la franquicia, con su sobresaliente MI 3, porque se da cuenta, que esta franquicia tras el fiasco de la 2, solo puede ser, una comedía de acción donde vemos a un Tom Cruise decadente, haciendo sobradas y flipadas, planes enrevesadamente absurdos, secuencias de acción rocambolescamente exageradas con su James Bond de marca Hacendado, y es como la franquicia ha continuado hasta nuestros días. En otras palabras, esta franquicia no se toma en serio a si misma.

El FMI ha sido desmantelado, Ethan Hunt es un proscrito para los Estados Unidos y además lucha contra una organización criminal, El Sindicato, que desde la sombra conspira para desestabilizar el mundo.

El resultado de esta quinta película es un producto entretenidamente anodino, nada destacable, un refrito de las cuatro películas anteriores que ni sorprende ni genera tensión, simplemente es la nada absoluta, pero no implica a que roce a la infamía, simplemente es un blockbuster veraniego inofensivo del montón. Destaco simplemente como Simon Pegg, le da vidilla y humor a esta película con su actuación, que en ciertos momentos de la película, parece mas dos policías rebeldes o vaya par de polis, pero con Cruise y Pegg.

Ya dejo la tercera el listón muy alto en comedía de acción y la primera es una interesante película seria de espías, esta es una que pasa sin pena ni gloria, pese a sus delirios de Tom Cruise en hacer las escenas acción sin especialistas, los absurdos y enrevesados planes y las instalaciones mas ultravanzadas situadas en países del tercer mundo.

En conclusión, Blockbusters mas del montón que ni destaca, ni sorprende.… Expand

InWe’ve all probably seen the preview where Tom Cruise is hanging off the side of a large airplane taking off. Well, the next morning after I saw this movie… that scene was about the only thing I could remember if someone asked me about it. In other words; it was just okay. I talked to my friends about this and we came to the conclusion we’re experiencing “Cruise-fatigue”. I can’t fault the guy for trying to keep the paychecks coming in, but Hollywood’s enthusiasm for Tom Cruise has resulted in choosing his name over movie quality/integrity.
Note to Hollywood: if you're writing any more Mission Impossible scripts, please leave Cruise out of it and let him start auditioning for grandpa roles.
Tom’s sidekick Jeremy Renner (of recent Bourne fame) is a bit of a fresher face in the cast, but his role in this sequel is much blander than the last one. As for positive points; there is a decent motorcycle chase scene, and the newest female face in this genre (Rebecca Ferguson) I thought was excellent. She is pretty but not in a way that makes it hard to believe she can also beat someone down. Hopefully this will open up opportunities for her because it would be fun to see her in more films.… Expand

Mission Impossible 5 gave me none of that and as the movie went towards the last half I felt bored. Maybe my view would have been different if I had seen any of the other Mission Impossible films and thus already formed an attachment to these characters but as it stands I felt nothing for them.

My problem with Ethan Hunt's character is that he is too uber. Of course you know walking into the cinema that the good guys are going to win. A good action film should challenge that by adding vulnerabilities to the hero, make it seem like he's really fighting for his life. Mission Impossible 5 is the kind of film where the main character walks in, is awesome and you never really feel a sense of danger for him.

Benji is probably my favourite character of this film as he is the only one that now sticks in my head. He felt the most human which I can't say about anyone else.

Which is not to say the movie is bad, but I found nothing likable in it so gave it five stars as it falls squarely in the middle in that place between good and bad.… Expand

Where it stands in the series: first one was okay, second was awful, third was quite good, fourth was okay, this one is lame. Some idiot critic is claiming this better than Bond and Bourne. On the whole these movies are not nearly as good as the best Bonds but better made overall than the Bournes which in my book were very sloppy after the first one.
It has much of the signature style, clock ticking set pieces, trick identities, etc., but this time it's all so very, very tired! I've seen this movie before a hundred times! The plot is typically convoluted and silly. Jeremy Renner is useless and annoying. Alec Baldwin doesn't seem to know if he's in a serious movie or an SNL sketch. The audience seemed to be laughing at the movie not with it over some of the silly dialogue exchanges (Then again the audience partially applauded at the end, it was made up of at least half morons I'd say judging for some of the wasteoids sitting near me, probably professional critics looking to have a bright day and cut this dud a break. That's how they roll, it's all in the release timing, they were ready for a more serious non-superhero movie so they unjustifiably praise this no matter how lackluster it actually is. What stupid idiots! They should be all sued in class action for incompetent financial advisement.)
This whole Cruise did it for real stunt thing with the plane (makes no difference whatsoever in a pretend story, this isn't sports where the outcome is unknown, we know he was fine in real life), the underwater bit (that he actually held his breath for 6 minutes making that scene is such an absurdly preposterous account being told to the press and it's not even questioned as an outright lie is it? Michael Phelps couldn't do that on his best day.) Another is that he did all his own stunt driving, fine but then the scene goes so obviously CGI by the end that it calls the integrity of everything they are saying into question! The whole gimmick of his doing his own stunts to sell this movie is so passé nowadays. It meant something when Ford did it on "Raiders", but it just doesn't matter now. The problem was way back when you could see the stuntman actually in the frame, or you didn't show faces for that reason. Now with actors' faces digitally painted onto stuntmen or with outright digital doubles being used it's irrelevant.
I still think Tom Cruise is a great movie star and a very good actor. He should do more serious movies at this point and not this kind of big expensive junk just to stay popular and land box office. A trend amongst all older super stars and the other older ones are even more guilty of it.… Expand

Le rythme sans être phénoménal parvient à se maintenir vaille que vaille malgré l'intrigue en roue libre. Le placement publicitaire est un poil exagéré (BMW et... Halo 5 ?) tandis que Crise nous ressert son numéro de petit prétentieux une fois de plus, entouré de son équipe de faire-valoir.

The humor in the opening and various other places in the film was so out of place for this type of action movie, that it gave me a bad flashback to when the James Bond films jumped the shark with snide remarks and fancy gadgets instead of a tight, gritty, strong screenplay.

The plot was stupid and predictable. Definitely the worst of this series. The movie was too long and just when I thought it was about to wrap up, they started a fourth and fifth act.

The villain was good until he started speaking. He had this kind of higher pitched voice and he whispered all his lines. Very annoying.

Not trying to pick on Cruise, I really like the guy; but his overly boyish haircut in parts of the flick, made him look like a 53 year old trying to look like a 17 year old. Very disconcerting. Hard to imagine him as a master spy. I also believe that Tom Cruise needed to lose about 10-15 lbs. in order to make some of his action sequences more believable. All in all, a very big disappointment.… Expand

Mix in the usual crop of pointless and ridiculous impossible situations that make zero sense (except to create a tense moment). Check. Random vehicle chases. Check. Token sexy double agent girl. Check. Some sort of information micro-device. Check. Various clock-ticking events. Check. Dumb assassins who stand in front of large window in brightly lit room dressed in black point a gun at someone in a public opera house. Check. Angry boss who dissolves said group because of their ineptitude and shenanigans. Check. Who later is made to trust said organization after being proven wrong. Check. Various tranquilizer darts.

I really enjoyed MI3 and MI4 but this film was lazy. I don't understand why the reviews are so high for it. I will compare this film to a bad Fast and Furious film.

I will compare this film to a bad Fast and Furious film. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the Fast and Furious movies for what they are, but for a MI film to be compared to them is just awful. Simon Pegg was the only reason I gave this movie a 2 and not a 0.… Expand

Unlike the witty tongue in cheek implausibility of theJames Bond movies this...my first exposure to Mission impossible..had be yawning and cringing at the lack of credibility. The loudness of the soundtrack kept me from going to sleep. TheUnlike the witty tongue in cheek implausibility of theJames Bond movies this...my first exposure to Mission impossible..had be yawning and cringing at the lack of credibility. The loudness of the soundtrack kept me from going to sleep. The story line was childishly portraying America as the heroes.the only part that held my interest was the very beginning.

About a third of the way through I started thinking "don't worry, it got great reviews, the rest of the movie must get better". A few more forgettable action scenes late, I gave up hope.

Writing this feels like a waste. I mean, who reads MI reviews before watching? If you are reading and you have an extra couple of hours to kill in your life, spin the wheel at netflix and watch something at random. Unless you hit BarneyWriting this feels like a waste.
