Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

MSB Reviews If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :)Mission: Impossible - Fallout is coming out next week, so naturally I decided to watch and review every single movie of the franchise. With so many remakes and reboots of famous sagas, it is a breath of relief that M:I is actually one that makes sense to keep doing. Since the third installment that it keeps continuously improving on the previous film and the evolution of visual effects didn't even affect the movies' essence. If there's one thing that this franchise is known for, is the realistic and practical method of filming action, instead of the CGI which is being used in excess more and more each day that goes by.By the time of the original release of this film, Tom Cruise was not yet an action movie icon. He was still trying to prove himself, and this was the film that started it all. Not only he portrays an exceptional character, but he tremendously elevates it when it comes to the action moments. He is also really expressive in the suspenseful scenes, and he is directly connected to some of the most prominent and extraordinary tension moments in the action movies history.Ethan Hunt, our hero, is very well-written and extremely interesting. The several ways by which he tries to decipher who framed him are filled with great details, amplified by the remarkable work of Brian DePalma, as the director. Excellent shots and phenomenal control of the tension in every scene. For a film released more than 20 years ago, most of its craft still holds up pretty well.As for the remaining cast, Ving Rhames stands out as Luther since he brings a very cool and funny vibe to the movie. Jon Voight portrays Hunt's boss, Jim Phelps, and he definitely leaves a good impression. Everyone else just serves the plot as it goes and that is my main issue with this first installment. If there's one thing that the audience members of 1996 and 2018 have in common is that they want easy-to-follow stories and big, brainless, illogical action ...I praise Mission: Impossible because it really tries to have a mysterious storyline. After all, we are watching an espionage film. However, even with me paying attention to every single line, it is undoubtedly confusing, to say the least. There are a lot of details in the screenplay that just don't quite come together at the end. The antagonist's motivations are a bit unclear as well as the ones from the characters related to it. The action set pieces are filled with special effects, but the beginning of incredible practical stunts started with this one. Like I wrote above, one of the most iconic, suspenseful scenes in movie history, is when Hunt tries to break into the CIA. That scene alone makes action films nowadays look like an absolute waste of time and money. The amount of tension build up during that moment is ridiculous. The lack of background music is astonishingly ballsy, and it totally works. Everything about that scene is pure perfection!Throughout the movie, there are more than a couple of practical stunts but the ending kind of ruins it all. A completely illogical and absurd action sequence to end such a great film frustrates me a little bit, even considering the fact that this movie was not released in this century. I don't think it needed to be this "blockbuster-y," and it breaks the realistic feel that the film had until that point.Before I forget, the score ... It is an impossible mission (ha...ha...ha) to forget the famous spy theme song. It is the tangible proof of the overwhelming success of this movie. It became the ringtone for most phones and even people that didn't watch any of the M:I films know the recognizable tone. Regarding the other definition of tone, it is another aspect that DePalma seamlessly balanced. The pacing never breaks down, and I didn't feel bored or distracted for a single second.The first installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise still incredibly holds up 20 years later. Tom Cruise is the living evidence of the movie's success as he became one of the most iconic action film stars. DePalma's last great movie is filled with excellent direction, a very captivating protagonist, some fantastic action scenes and a memorable soundtrack. However, in the writing department, things went a little overboard and the plot is too confusing. The ending action sequence is a bit of a letdown, but the frenetic pacing provides a blast of entertainment and one of the most influential action films of all-time.

arjunflamingfeather The moment in 'Mission Impossible' the cinema is the comprehension of what is cinema to the fourth world countries which is a set of digital footage which has been recorded to preserve a movement in two dimension and which has a sequence. The English language speaking and reading public in the fourth world countries are set to watch mission impossible: national geographical has entrepreneurs travelling to these parts. The nations at the far corners of the world are countries graded by wealth: gross domestic products but cinema halls in these parts are few. Cinema has a reach because digital media is the part of recording that is being reviewed for the movie that 'we' have seen. The proof that it is fiction is the page that opens certain movies like Mission Impossible: Fallout in the year two thousand and eighteen. The cinema which aired in the third world on Friday is Mission Impossible which with a translation to the fourth world countries is the language spoken 'here'. Please watch Mission Impossible starring Tom Cruise.

Grant Bullert "Mission: Impossible" has some great moments, lots of fantastic ideas, but quite a bit of weak execution. It has also not aged well at all.-Analysis of Notable Work- *Writing/Directing: The story is relatively engaging throughout most of the film, but the twists seem more forced than they need to be. Brian De Palma knows how to direct action, but does not do as well with drama and suspenseful twists. *Cinematography/Editing: These are two of the weaker aspects of the film. Stephen H. Burum is a capable cinematographer, but he does not prove that with this film. Much of the film looks like home video. The editing is also quite weak with many cheesy moments. *Dialogue/Acting: The entire flow of the film feels a bit off. The dialogue is classless and thinks it is much more clever than it is. The delivery does not help, either. Tom Cruise holds his own, but much of the supporting cast is less than impressive. Even Jon Voight delivers a sub-par performance. *Music/Sound Design: While iconic, the soundtrack is not powerful or helpful in the film. The main theme is recognizable, but that is about all that can be said about it. The sound design is yet another less than average part of the film. It does not feel as grounded as it should. Everything seems to be over the top. *Production Design/Special Effects: The set design, costumes, and props are all a bit boring. Some of the gadgets are interesting, but they do not make up for the poor effort of the rest of the film. The special effects are not yet mastered in this film. It all feels rather cheap.*Conclusion: "Mission: Impossible" feels like a testing of the waters for modern spy films. They have not yet figured out how to pull it off, but they are still working on getting acclimated to the water temperature.

alexmemus This movie is not really smart, with oversimplified characters and CGI that didn't age well. But it's still so fun to watch. Tom Cruise often breaks the character, but his energy is simply amazing. The vault scene is filmed with precision and visual flair (it almost has Kubrick's vibe). And the train scene is so stupid and still fun (now I get why later Tom Cruise would do his airplane stunt). And the main theme. Marvel, just learn how to create a memorable tune.
