Seems to be fewer good looking ladies than the previous one.

 

[Lego Boss]

MI2 sucks. 1 and 4 are the only one worth while.

This. Series took a massive nosedive until Ghost. First one is iconic post-cold war thriller up there with GoldenEye.

 

[Escape Goat]

MI2 is where tom cruise decided to make a generic tom cruise action film by apeing the Mission Impossible name. Thandie Newton was sexy though.

 

[Daft_Cat]

The motorcycle chase gives me MI2 vibes. I think that's an underrated action flick, but whatever. I get that people hate it.

Besides that action beat, it looks like a fairly Ghost Protocol-esque affair. That was one of the best action films in recent years, so I've actually got pretty high hopes for this... Especially with the release date being moved up.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I've really enjoyed the Mission: Impossible movies with the exception of 2. I love how different they all feel. Also Christopher Macquarrie directed Valkyrie which was a really good thriller, so I'm on board for this.

He only wrote Valkyrie. Bryan Singer directed it. They were teaming up again after doing Usual Suspects together.

 

[Stinkles]

Cruise is really actually strapped to a plane, huh?

 

[not_so_special]

 

[PhoncipleBone]

That one will be tough to top.

 

[Stinkles]

 

[Angelus Errare]

Yo that car spin in that tight alley tho!

I hope Cruise keeps making these until he's like 80!!! DDDDDDD:

 

[Mokujin]

Ghost Protocol surprised me when I was expecting it to be mediocre so I will watch this one.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I'm in, these are fun movies. Glad to see I wasn't the only one getting MI2 vibes from this teaser though.

 

[SimleuqiR]

 

[Busty]

Hmmm, the buzz on this production feels like it's been all over the map (a difficult but worth it shoot to a 'fix in post' mess) but I'm definitely open to seeing Cruise in whatever he's in.

However Rogue Nation, as a subtitle, feels much weaker than Ghost Protocol.

Cruise might be a crazy person but I realized that I pretty much enjoy the vast majority of his movies and so I'm hyped for this.

Apparently, on a one to one basis, he's actually very personable and pleasant.

So I'm told.

 

[brandonh83]

Son I am not disappoint

 

[jelly]

I could do without Simon Pegg, he is awful.

Looks fun. Stunts look very cool.

 

[awilliams213]

Glad to read they moved it to a summer release also love the concept reminds me of Alias.

 

[brandonh83]

Glad to read they moved it to a summer release also love the concept reminds me of Alias.

At least they're not being framed for something again.

 

[Corronchilejano]

he's really hanging off the airplane right

Yep with wires of course. He does all.his stunts.

He didn't have wires in MI:2, nor when he was dangling from a building. Cruise is that insane.

Cruise might be a crazy person but I realized that I pretty much enjoy the vast majority of his movies and so I'm hyped for this.

I enjoy them a lot better and have a lot of respect for the guy after learning he likes making his own stunts AND watching him do Les Grossman. He might be insane, but he's a very good actor.

 

[RustyNails]

Goddamn, Cruise Missile is fucking back

 

[Dan]

Remember when this franchise wasn't simply James Bond with more sidekicks? I want the espionage and intrigue of the first movie.

 

[CREMSteve]

Is there a behind the scenes on that airplane shot? Jesus, Cruise is so damn good.

 

[Qwell]

Looks cool. Ghost Protocol was a ton of fun, so I am curious to see how McQuarrie tops it. I thought he did a good job on Jack Reacher, so let's see how he does with a bigger canvas.

He also directed Way of the Gun, while a smaller film had some good action. I'm sure he will do fine.

 

[Cloudy]

Day 1

 

[bananafactory]

Looks like fun, hope it's as good as Ghost Protocol. But all the MI movies have been fun for me.

Day 1

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Man, Cruise still looking top notch in his 50's. Looks pretty awesome.

 

[Leatherface]

Looks good to me. I'm in.

 

[legacyzero]

Fucking LOVE these movies. This one looks special.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Into me veins

 

[MadmanUK]

Ghost Protocol was ok but the villain was extremely underwhelming.

Which is why i think MI3 is the best one.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Still bummed that America's Bae - Paula Patton™ isn't in this.

 

[Corronchilejano]

Remember when this franchise wasn't simply James Bond with more sidekicks? I want the espionage and intrigue of the first movie.

 

[Kobe24]

OH MY GOD indeed. NOTHING STOPS THE CRUISE MISSLE

 

[Blablurn]

Remember when mission impossible 2 came out?

best mission impossible ever.

 

[jrush64]

No Paula Patton???

Oh Well

 

[magawolaz]

I'm in. That last shot, omg

 

[strafer]

No Paula Patton???

Oh Well

Good riddance tbh

She was horrible.

 

[maquiladora]

That's Actually Tom Cruise Doing His Owns Stunt : The Movie

 

[Pedrito]

Remember when this franchise wasn't simply James Bond with more sidekicks? I want the espionage and intrigue of the first movie.

I want the espionage and intrigue of the original tv series. Some of the plans were so ridiculously elaborate, but in a good way. It was always great to see how all the pieces were coming together in the end. And the reveal when the bad guy was realizing he's been had never got old.

But fuck those damn rubber masks...

 

[massoluk]

How can 52 year-old man look so bloody good?!?!

 

[Kinyou]

Really? Thought MI:2 was the weakest of the series. Dem doves . . .

Oh, don't get wrong, I'm not a fan of MI:2 either. The opening with the bike chase just reminded me a lot of it.

 

[Rur0ni]

Some weird opinions in this thread.

Teaser looks fucking amazing. Going on blackout now - no need to see anything else until the theater!

Basically. I'm on board.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

3 had the best villain of the series in Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Unfortunately it also had the worst third act of the series, which drags it down a bit.

2 had some good moments, and a great soundtrack. But the problem was that the entire thing felt like an American film ripping off a John Woo film and watering it down. Sadly, it was John Woo doing it to himself.

1 has some great stuff in it, particularly the heist in the computer room. It just bugs me that they made Phelps the bad guy in the end.

Ghost Protocol was the most fun. It had some great action sequences, and I liked that they embraced just how crazy all of the stuff is. It didn't take itself too seriously, and it was the first film in the series to actually feel like a team effort instead of the Ethan Hunt show.

No way in hell is 3's third act worse than Ghost Protocol's.

[Sectorseven]

They should have never abandoned the M:i-2 formula.

I miss M:i-2.

What a movie.

I prefer the first one where it was more of a thriller and the execution of the missions actually mattered.

 

[BLACKLAC]

No Paula Patton? Sucks.

Will still watch.

Good riddance tbh

She was horrible.

Fuck is wrong with you

 

[pestul]

This looks amazing! Tom looks great for 52.

 

[Demon Ice]

Just looked up at the bar and saw this on the TV lol, very caught off guard, wasn't aware there was another MI in the works

 

[Abounder]

Sold. Now that's blockbuster action

 

[norm9]

Jesus.

I prefer the first one where it was more of a thriller and the execution of the missions actually mattered.

DePalma had some really neat shots in the first one. Genre was right up his alley.
