The real problem is that the entire floor is so highly sensitive to pressure changes that even a drop of sweat would be enough to set it off, yet he can pound away at the keyboard (which is on the desk, which is on the floor) without any of the sensors reacting at all.
It's the best film in the entire series. 1 and 2 at least felt somewhat different from eachother, from 3 onwards is basically one long movie - they're still good.
>That innert shot of the girl just iddling emotionless
This movie was destroyed by casting alone, everyone outside Tom was awful and put 0 effort into it
Ving rames was the definition of flanderization that continued with every movie after
Dougray didn't feel threatening, driven or engaged in any scene of the movie
It was one line away of abandoning his quest, at any random point he could have said "I'm tired of this, you win" and it's completely believable
So what is the difference between Rhames (computer hacker) and the Sean of the Dead guy, who's apparently another hacker? How many hackers do they need on the team?
PSH makes for a great villain in 3 but overall it has too much of that J.J. Abrams Alias era TV feel imo. Brad Bird really saved the franchise with Ghost Protocol.
One is easily the best and the rest are very hit and miss.
I unironically really enjoyed the last MI movie, it had cartoonish villains, had good action scenes and was fun.
They made a conscious decision to make Cruise basically sexless in the later movies as he’s aged. Ethan Hunt fricked in the first two. After Cruise’s image was tarnished in 2005/06, audiences didn’t want to see him playing sexy anymore.
From classy and sexy 90s girl to mouthbreather troglodyte of the 2020s... Dios mio..
literally declining with each movie
very obvious when you see this
For real man...

To be fair the quality of the modern woman in both looks and personality is in steep decline ever since, you have to dig post-wall 50-60 yo women back from the grave if you want classy women who can act, and even then their look is awful due to aging.
There is no actress under 35 who is >sexy >classy >can act >has personality
You want me to explain why I find this movie stupid?
The CIA didn't want people to hack their computer so they lock the terminal in a room?
so that every time they need something as much as getting a list spies, they hire a fall guy to use the terminal to write the file onto a floppy disc?
somehow the fall guy doesn't look very busy? Because they don't need to use that computer every minute and work the guy to death?
They have all those sophisticated sensors all over their terminal, but cannot do something as simple as locking up the terminal when the door is locked?
The black hacker cannot connect to the terminal but has live streaming from Tom Cruise's camera?
They fricking drugged the fall guy. Why not copy his voice, fingerprints and eyeballs to walk into the room?
They fricking crawled into the room, why not just crawl into the next room where the mainframe is? And do whatever hacking they wanted from there?
>The CIA didn't want people to hack their computer so they lock the terminal in a room?
yes >so that every time they need something as much as getting a list spies, they hire a fall guy to use the terminal to write the file onto a floppy disc?
what's your point? >somehow the fall guy doesn't look very busy? Because they don't need to use that computer every minute and work the guy to death?
yea, and? >They have all those sophisticated sensors all over their terminal, but cannot do something as simple as locking up the terminal when the door is locked?
so? >The black hacker cannot connect to the terminal but has live streaming from Tom Cruise's camera?
two entirely unrelated things >They fricking drugged the fall guy. Why not copy his voice, fingerprints and eyeballs to walk into the room?
there are more people in the building >They fricking crawled into the room, why not just crawl into the next room where the mainframe is? And do whatever hacking they wanted from there?
they couldn't
sounds like you're the stupid one here
>They fricking drugged the fall guy. Why not copy his voice, fingerprints and eyeballs to walk into the room?
Did you miss the part where there was a secretary just outside the terminal?
it's fricking incredible that this is what a pivotal setpiece used to be
meanwhile today we have total fricking CGI garbage planes crashing together midair with thousand explosions and poorly choreographed goon army waiting on their turn to get murdered in every action movie
how far we done fell
>fricking CGI garbage planes crashing together
MI1 got it started, too.
I respect that it used practical effects but it also was part of the CGI disaster trend.
I mean the fact that a movie didn't need to have outrageous shit as promotional material
yes the ending in the tunnel is outrageous (and great) but it's something as simple as guy hanging on wires that is iconic and memorable
lmfao
kids need 'attack my base' ideas and this one is perfect
also, I respect that tom cruise actually played smart and resourceful characters, compared to matt damon who always, always plays a character who went to a good school, usually yale or harvard, who everyone talks about being so smart.
it's a subtle difference in a movie or two, but after a career it's pretty apparent.
whole series is just >tom wants to look very cool >tom wants to do stunts
if you can watch it just for that and recognize that's the cutoff, fair
but anyone that wants to say these are good movies by a standard metric is delusional
> When you ask a friend if Hellboy is any good, you're not asking if it's any good compared to Mystic River, you're asking if it's any good compared to The Punisher. And my answer would be, on a scale of one to four, if Superman is four, then Hellboy is three and The Punisher is two. In the same way, if American Beauty gets four stars, then The United States of Leland clocks in at about two.

Also, the M:I movies are exceptional and made by top tier directors.
regardless of what the morons in this thread imply, the series is supposed to be about a super spy.
if a spy has a recurring antagonist that just means he's shit at his job of neutralizing enemies of the state.
same reason why spectre was so stupid in James Bond and why hydra is so kino in captain america. it shows off the capabilities of the hero and their failings.
Hopkins was infamously paid 5 million for appearing in 2 and claimed that he donated his salary to charity (probably the charity known as Anthony Hopkins LLC)
yeah why does the super spy not have a consistent base of operations with a constant contact.
everyone knows that's how a spy operates - everyone stays stagnant and it's very easy to tell who you're working for!
frick i hate james bond morons so much
You are simultaneously appealing to two different things, fantasy superspy and realistic espionage. Mission: Impossible with superspy Ethan Hunt is not a franchise about realism, it is pulpy spy fiction cast in the same mould as James Bond.
Could be due to how all over the place the franchise has been in production (no real consistent creative team for much of its history) and the time gaps between films (M:I 2 came rather late four years after the first, M:I III came out six years after M:I 2 and Ghost Protocol was five years after M:I III). It is only by Rogue Nation where Christopher McQuarrie come in & firmly take the reigns and that the formula gets developed off what was done in Ghost Protocol. Whilst you had Ving Rhames carry over through all the films and Simon Pegg from 3 onwards, the focus on recuring characters and interconnectivity happens under McQuarrie: Fallout follows from Rogue Nation; Jeremy Renner in Rogue Nation is a holdover from Ghost Protocol; there wasn't really any imperative to bring back Simon Pegg, or at least have both Benji and Luther yet, he sticks around; Rebecca Ferguson, Alec Baldwin, Vanessa Kirby and Sean Harris appear in more than one film; you get Hunt's wife brought back.
>Ethan Hunt : No. She's got no training for this kind of thing. >Mission Commander Swanbeck : What? To go to bed with a man and lie to him? She's a woman - she's got all the training she needs.
What a chud.
>This stupid scene launched the whole series.
when the original movie came out, the cast of the original series HATED the movie, they said the movie ruined the original show and was nothing like it.
now Cinemaphile praises the franchise as "based movies" because of that moron tom cruise
That was literally how computers worked in the 90's you frickwit zoomer.
>27 years later
"There is an AI out there stealing our data so we are hiring typists to type our data on paper rolls"
The real problem is that the entire floor is so highly sensitive to pressure changes that even a drop of sweat would be enough to set it off, yet he can pound away at the keyboard (which is on the desk, which is on the floor) without any of the sensors reacting at all.
the entire workstation comes out of the wall
Okay, that I did not remember.
I remember that cup of coke...I wanted to drink it...
Why did Ethan Hunt never wear glasses after this
He wore sunglasses in MI:2 intro scene. Check mate.
he got lasik
>he doesnt know computers used to have pedals for moving the cursor left or right
are you moronic?
It's the best film in the entire series. 1 and 2 at least felt somewhat different from eachother, from 3 onwards is basically one long movie - they're still good.

Ving Rames and Dougray were good.

Dougray didn't feel threatening, driven or engaged in any scene of the movie

Stick to your Farthouse films Gaylord.

this woman is extremely hot
Is just exotic to you.
To every latin american she's absolutely capped at 6/10
she's not latin american so she's hot
>Woman
That's Jeremy Renner.
He doesn't have a penis anymore, so he's a woman now.
I love how in MI they just get absurdly lucky half the time.
it wouldn't be impossible but successful if it weren't for luck
Renner almost ruined the ones he was in. I'm glad they fired his wooden ass
Damn, she ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3
worst female in the 7 movie series by a cuny mile
1 and 2 are the best.
me in the middle
literally declining with each movie

They should put Amy Adams on a diet and get her on the last one
What’s funny is that the female lead in the first movie is only a year younger than Cruise. Now his female M:I leads are all 15 to 20+ years younger.
She's too old looking and shit, no breasts, no ass, nothing. Dunno how she got the role.
Now be nice.
She's a handsome woman.
I actually find her face very attractive and she has nice legs
Is that Veronica Leal?
They are talking about my wiener
>stupid
explain yourself, midwit
I think OP thought that he owned the computer and the only way to use it was suspended in the air.

Sorry I cannot explain to you why I find it stupid to put your database, "air gapped", in a room with floor sensors. I just can't.
It's like you don't want to use it and don't want to protect it either.
As of Tom Cruise's camera feed and that tiny tracker they put on the fall guy, I am sure they could put them into better use.
>They fricking drugged the fall guy. Why not copy his voice, fingerprints and eyeballs to walk into the room?
Did you miss the part where there was a secretary just outside the terminal?
didn't they steal the fat guy's identity in 3 in like five minutes
that was 10 years later
3 isn't 1.
>giant, man-sized vent
>no motion detectors

What was her endgame?
She was a qt.
Zoomers can’t even comprehend how kino this was in the theater in 1996

But enough about the finale of MI1 :^)
Tom has charisma despite being a religiously weird, sexualy ambiguous manlet. A very rare quality.
it's called acting
lmfao

What's literally the single best MI flick?
What's the worst one?
2 and 4 are best
3 is weak, as is the latest one
2 is a rough watch for me now, but Cruise was undeniably at peak handsomeness in it.
MI1 was the only good movie
1 is the best
5 was the worst but now maybe 7?
watched 2 last week, it was a great time.
Which one is this from? Idrtpfamim
Minority Report.
?t=55
Zoomers just don't know how they used to make kino
whole series is just
>tom wants to look very cool
>tom wants to do stunts
if you can watch it just for that and recognize that's the cutoff, fair
but anyone that wants to say these are good movies by a standard metric is delusional
they're kino and you're a coping pseud
They are good movies because it's Tom Cruise looking very cool and doing stunts, b***h. No other actor could do that.

I think they did but it didnt matter anymore by the time the guy checked the log.
why didn't the room have a motion detector?
I love when the red house just dissapears
I'm surprised how long it took them to bring back Kittridge.
What was the intention of not giving Hunt a recuring boss? In 2 you have Hopkins, in 3 Fishburne, was there one in 4?, in 5 and 6 you get Baldwin.
regardless of what the morons in this thread imply, the series is supposed to be about a super spy.
if a spy has a recurring antagonist that just means he's shit at his job of neutralizing enemies of the state.
same reason why spectre was so stupid in James Bond and why hydra is so kino in captain america. it shows off the capabilities of the hero and their failings.
Did you read what they said? They, to use the Bond comparison, are asking why does Hunt not have a definitive M.
Perhaps they asked Hopkins to come back but after how MI2 turned out he told them to frick off
Hopkins was infamously paid 5 million for appearing in 2 and claimed that he donated his salary to charity (probably the charity known as Anthony Hopkins LLC)
yeah why does the super spy not have a consistent base of operations with a constant contact.
everyone knows that's how a spy operates - everyone stays stagnant and it's very easy to tell who you're working for!

There not mere contacts. The characters they were talking about are the head of IMF.

kek, great scene.
Why is Rebecca Ferguson so perpetually horny? Does she not have enough sex?
She's pregnant in that Norton interview, probably hormones.
she's just cringe
I'd say she's doing it to deliberately get an image.
You wouldn't get it, incel. Rebecca and me, we're just wired differently. We're sexual, primal creatures. We go by instinct.
Who the hell are you?
I just want you to understand that everything is about sex. Except sex.
What is sex about?
Power
I thought sex was about love.
I don't follow promotional shit for movies so seeing him at the beginning of Dead Reckoning was a hell of a surprise.
