Hypothetically, would we want a Mission Impossible 9?

I personally can't make up my mind. Ever since seeing Final Reckoning, I've flip-flopped between "that was good enough, let's end it here" and "I know they could end on a better note than that".

Stills from Final Reckoning deleted scenes

btw I’m kinda curious why Paris (Pom) was wearing that huge gold puffer jacket. What do you guys think that scene was originally supposed to be about? There was also a bts pic in People magazine where she had the same outfit on

Phelps in Final Reckoning is supposed to be the TV Phelps, right?

That’s what they set up, wasn’t it, that villain Phelps from MI 1996 was NOT supposed to be the TV Phelps we all knew as a hero from the show, but that his son, also specifically named Jim Phelps in Final Reckoning, was meant to be the movie cannon version of that character, meaning “Jim Phelps was made into a bad guy” is not longer really a valid complaint

Celebrating 30 Years of the Original MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE with Jesse Alexander & FilmSpeak

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Brian De Palma’s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, we put together a big roundtable discussion featuring Jesse Alexander (Alias, Hannibal, American Gods) and Griffin Schiller (FilmSpeak).

We discussed:

• Why the original film still feels so different from modern blockbusters
• The Langley vault sequence
• The aquarium scene
• GoldenEye vs Mission: Impossible
• Why Mission works best when everything goes wrong
• Whether the franchise has lost some of its spy-thriller feel over time

Would genuinely love to hear where the original ranks for everyone here.

Do You Guys Think This Aerial Stunt Is Better Than The One We Got In Final Reckoning ?

Wish I Could See This Scene In IMAX

Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol 4K/BD Steelbook

This is my personal favourite MI film. I watched it over 20 times yet. It got a sense of humour mixed with intense action and spy stuff. I really like the dynamic of each one of the characters in the team in this movie especially Jeremy Renner. I like the idea that all the gadgets didn't work in this sequel and I like how Ethan and his team had to think and fix the plan in a short time and it happened throughout the film. The Burj Khalifa sequence is outstanding and very exciting. The sandstorm chase scene is so thrilling. The problem is just that the villain is not interesting at all and not that good. His character is so basic. If you watch MI-3 before this one you can see how weak this villain is compared to PSH.

MI9 Set-piece Japan

After playing Forza Horizon 6, it has me to think - why haven’t we seen Ethan hunt in Japan? Could you imagine a set piece in Tokyo? The cinematography could be incredible

I think of all the movies in the series, Rogue Nation is the one that comes the closest to capturing the same vibe from the original 1996 film. Is this a common opinion?

I used to not have as much of an appreciation for Rogue Nation, but the more I watch it, the more I find that I love it. I used to always see it as a step down of sorts after Ghost Protocol (and MI3, for that matter). But I've come to realize it really is one of the better films in the series.

It's not just that it's a great MI movie or a great spy/action movie on its own, but it's also that I think it comes the closest to capturing the same sort of vibe from the first film (which is a film I really love). Compared to all of the other films after the first one, it feels the closest to being arguably less of an action film and more of a spy thriller. Yes, there's still plenty of action and stunts in the movie, but I would argue it focuses more on the world of espionage and the spy game.

You have the IMF going up against the Syndicate which itself is an organization comprised of former spies turned evil. And then you have Ilsa Faust in the middle kind of playing both sides. It kinda gives you the same feeling from the first film where you don't know who to trust. I also think Ilsa as a character is at her very best in this one.

We could argue that other films share certain elements with the first film or pay homage to it. Like the Reckoning films, for instance. Lots of camera angles in those films are very De Palma-ish. They also brought back certain characters and had some story connections with MI1 (Kittridge, Donloe, Phelps Jr., lots of stuff coming full circle), but the films themselves are very different from MI1. I think tonally and stylistically, Rogue Nation comes the closest even if it doesn't quite feel the exact same way as the first film. Nothing really does. MI1 is very unique.

I was curious to see whether this is a commonly held opinion as I know I've seen others make this claim before. If you don't agree, what other film in the series would you say comes closer to having the same vibe as MI1? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

😂😂😂 My big boy kitty while Ethan vs Walker is playing in the background

What especially tickles me is that I love pretending I’m in action movies, myself. He takes after me, that way. Watch ‘til the end, I swear.

hot take: Lance Henriksen would have made a great Max in the first Mission Impossible; did I mention Max was originally written to be male before Vanessa Redgrave was cast?
