I think 2 is good but not great as 3-6

This franchise is actually pretty impressive at this point in time because this one and the next are both Live-Action movie Debuts for their directors. This was JJ Abrahams first big budget movie as he was more a director for TV before this movie. Tom Cruise actually brought him on board. The next one is directed by Brad Bird who only directed animated movies before. He directed quite a few classics most notably for this context The Incredibles from Pixar. I do think MI is at a very good point now but I also do miss this era where they changed the director and style for each movie and even took some big risks with their choice of the director

That's what I miss, too. I even remember Tom saying earlier on that was the whole point of the franchise. However, after this one it definitely seemed like they found a groove that worked for them, and the tone doesn't change at all from this point forward, really. Ghost Protocol just had to prove that the series was still a viable franchise, because 3 didn't do that great because Tom Cruise was acting pretty weird during the promotion of this movie and I think it turned a lot of people away (the Oprah couch jump, most notably). After that I think the series has found the characters we all like, and knows exactly what we want from these movies as a whole: Crazy stunts, Tom Cruise running, enjoyable supporting characters, some emotional stakes, and a nice bow wrapped around it all at the end.

MI3 gave us two of the best Returning characters in Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg but I think the interrogation/Mask Pull in this was one of the most underrated scenes in the series because it's truly the only moment in the series where Ethan had no tricks to pull out and was truly at the mercy of a great villian.

The “see more… hoffman” comment was PEAK Holden 🔥

Just had to pause midway to comment how much I'm enjoying yer enthusiasm during this watchalong, so thanks for that. Fun fact: that opener with Davian wasn't originally there, the movie originally started with the house party... at some point, wanting a bit more oomph for the opener, they just outright grabbed that chunk of a scene and plopped it at the beginning. The amazing thing is that the script/dialogue still plays out perfectly, untouched.

This still might be my favorite... The action quality gets better but this always felt like the best movie.

My personal favorite of the series! The pacing is just top notch.

​@@ramoncarter3121this was the time people were getting sick of Tom. The couch jumping, Scientology, the glib interview. This great fun movie was sadly a casualty of all that.

First one I saw in cinemas. Loved Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Villain RIP. He was great in this. Also first time Simon Pegg made his appearance in the series too. Loved the twist and turns with this one but also how much better and improved the action sequences were. That bridge sequence is a classic. But it only gets better from here. Surprised there was no Rabbit's Foot = Covid-19 jokes lol.

I must thank Jen because of her talking about the show Fringe so much, a show I wasn't aware of I actually finished watching all the seasons two weeks ago and Jen you are right, it's a fantastic show and a great cast. Here in Canada on my TV Network the channel HLN has been showing the episodes of all the seasons back to back on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 12pm each day. So it took several weekends to get through all the seasons but it was fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm surprised how much love this movie is getting in the comments, this one has been my favorite of the series for a while. I thought this one wasn't as highly regarded.. Very cool to see!

For me this is the best one from Mission impossible series. Total suspense from beginning to end, scary villain, and the score made me want to do something stupid

YES ! This is where the fun begins ! From 3 on, those movies keep getting crazier yet better ! Best action franchise, can’t wait for Dead Reckoning Part I

These movies get better and better as they go. I just rewatched all 6 to get ready for the new one. Holden your very jaded at times lol

This was the entry that really kicked the series into gear, they're all pretty awesome from here on out(my favorite is still #5, Rogue Nation).

Agent Ferris’ dead eyes 😫🤣🤣🤣 You’re not wrong for laughing 😄

Hoffman absolutely kills it as Davian. He's scary as fuck, emotionless, ruthless, no morals, no scruples. This ranks as one of the most intense openings for any film. Got some really great action in it and from this film onward, each movie is better than the last. Which as you continue, you're not going to believe they can do. But they will.

Yessssss! Was looking forward to this one. Now the great journey begins!

This the 1 that I really liked. PSH really gives a terrifying but not physically terrifying aspect to the story that really adds to the overall theme.

Ahhh yes......let's do this! 10:24 really Holden?!? LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You’re just getting to the good ones and I’m so excited!!

That edit with the girl in the helicopter which her eyes made me choke on my drink I didn’t expect that at all lol

I've now watched the first 3 Mission Impossible movies, for the first time in my life, explicitly in preparation for these videos😅❤

I find that from 3 onward, they get better and better with each installment in a way that no other franchise has really achieved.

Ah this is where the MI movies really takes off! Superb casting in this one!

Now we cooking. Love this movie and everyone after it. One of the few franchises that get better

Ghost Protocol is my favorite! So looking forward to watching your reaction!

This is the movie that got me invested in the franchise. Also, the story with him and his wife is continued and the series feels more connected. It only gets better from here and Simon Pegg's character continues to grow as well

"I will bleed on the flag to make sure the Stripes stay red" Ooh! What a line! Philip Seymore Hoffman is THE best villain in this franchise!

To answer your question about them cutting away when they put on the Davian disguise before the party at the Vatican: They put the latex mask on and the camera moved behind Luther which is where the cut happened. But they CG'd Hoffman's face to make the eyes and face a bit droopy, as well as the neck prosthetic.

This is still my favorite of the series. The best villain for sure and I liked the relationship.

The important thing that Keri Russell's character needed to tell Tom Cruise was that she's force-sensitive.

Benji is one of my favs along with Luther and Ethan after this movie. And Ethan's been hunted by his own agency like twice now lol he keeps getting into these situations

The intro to this one is too intense compared to the others! This one is in my top 3 of the franchise.

It gets better! You'll love the next one!!!

😂😂😂 yall wrong for the googly eyes "💥 🤪"

10:14 Bro, you started laughing and now I'm looking crazy in front of all my coworkers 😅 I've never found that funny til just now, so thanks for that

23:03 Out of context, that is a whole other conversation. 😆🤭

Every Mission Impossible movie after this is awesome. They are also more connected with more than Ethan and Luther returning. The next on is my favorite. Get ready for the Ghost Protocol!

He's laughing, thinking what he's going to do with the eyes in editing 🤣.

Very proud that Holden and I were on the same wavelength the whole time 😂 I also laughed WAY too hard when Anna Ferris died lol. What can I say? Toxic humor lol

Normally, I have your videos on in the background as noise while I work on my projects, but Mission Impossible III is one of my favorites of the series. It was my #1 Mission film until Fallout - you'll see why when you get to that one. Some fun stunt facts for you: In the first Mission: Impossible, Tom Cruise had to use coins in his shoes to balance out his weight to keep from touching the floor during the wire stunt in CIA Headquarters In Mission: Impossible II, that is really Tom Cruise doing free rock climbing In this movie, the pendulum swing was done in a sound stage where he jumped 40ft off a platform to perform the swing. The guy is a madman, but it makes for great scenes.

@holden if you like the heist aspects I think the next few are going to blow your mind. Tbh this is my favorite mission impossible. Hoffman was awesome, and it's one of the rare times where a series came back to form and then kept getting better from then on.

Identification by vasculature is actually not unheard of- though I don’t think it’s practical to do from a distance I have had the pattern of veins in my hand scanned for access to various rooms where I work.

Hey this movie is just too good. Good luck. Nice to see your videos

Man, that interrogation scene on the plane, is just so freakin good. PSH dominated as a villain, RIP. Wish JJ would direct another one cause MI3 is still my fav one.

The windmill scene was filmed at the wind farm outside of Palm Springs CA. And they flew real helicopters insanely close to real windmills. But not close enough for the intent of the shot so there are a handfull that were added in with VFX (CG and practical models). If you want to see some truly insane stuff, look into the hollywood helicopter pilots. They fly the camera choppers, often a mere 10 ft above the ground, down city streets, under overpasses, etc to get the most ridiculously awesome shots. Most of them are veterans who flew in various wars and they operate WAY WAY outside of the normal FAA safety laws in terms of how low and how close to things they are allowed to fly. Several of them have instagram accounts they post to regularly.

Holdens reaction to the Humpty Dumpty line was hilarious hahahaha My biggest complaint of the movie was the double cross of his friend in the IMF. Thats 3 movies in a row where agents from the agency have turned out to be the bad guy. Its just a bit repetitive. But that issue didnt bother me too much. Still a pretty decent movie.

The scene with the wind turbines was partially filmed out by Palm Springs, CA, while I was living near there, and I drove by the location while they were shooting. It was too far away for me to make anything out, so I didn't know what all the lights were until later.

4-6 is the pinnacle of the franchise can’t wait for your reactions to those

"What have i seen her in?" She was in a TV series called Nikita.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, one of the greatest actors who ever lived, only actor to ever be nominated for 3 Golden Globes for 3 different performances in the same year. Holden’s channel: “That’s the guy from Along Came Poly”

Ooh I just thought of a cool potential watch through you guys should do. Should definitely give the cornetto trilogy a try

Omg! The googly eyes! I thought it was just me

Unpopular opinion but MI 3 is very underrated, this movie is probably my top 3 favorite from the franchise I like the villian too Philip Seymour Hoffman was amazing, pretty excited to see your reactions after this one because on MI4, is where it starts to become better and better✔️💯

Interesting, Holden. I never re-watched M:I2, but M:I3 a lot, because it is my favorite M:I movie. I love that this time it is very personal for Ethan (Lindsey and Julia). The cast is fantastic. Best villain in the series for me. Very menacing, yet calm and collected. The action is cool. Love this one.

Oh man, it happened again, I watched this video and minutes later, the movie started playing on tv. I really am not joking.

The Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol is my favorite in the series. Looking forward to your reaction to that one.

Now this is more like it! It just gets better from here

Great reaction! Dw I also laughed when the chip detonated in the agent's head. I wish they hadn't made it look so goofy cos it undercut the drama of the moment. Just normal dead eyes would have been fine!

I like how they literally skipped the whole thing when he went to get the rabbits foot in that building lol. He said he would be out in 5 minutes. I highly doubt it would have been that easy lol. When I noticed this seeing the movie in the theater I remember MI2 had a similar scene when Ethan went into a building to get something (a cure for that disease or something?) They showed everything. JJ must have said they done it already in part 2 we don’t need to show how he gets the rabbits foot just show him jumping out of the window after 5 minutes lol.

Don’t stop with this series now guys, they only get better from this movie on forward. Fall out is my personal favorite so far, but that may change since they have at least 3 more movies down the road. Tom is just amazing in these; He’s one of our best action left in the game.

My head canon for why Thandie wasn't mentioned is because this was supposed to like the American version of James Bond. Like a Team Bond type of thing. Different female lead/"love interest". Until the Craig Bond movies they didn't mention a past love interest that was in previous movies. Because they made it a part of his character.

The opening scene is so damn good. Instantly hooks you

Mission Impossible 3 was such a good change up for the franchise

Definitely need to rewatch all of these movies before the new one!!

I am so excited for you guys to watch the stuntwork in the next three films the franchise has become known for- I need Jen to know that Tom Cruise is really doing every major insane stunt you see him doing, whether it be climbing buildings, holding his breath, riding motorcycles, or other more spoilery activities

Philip is Alpha Level Villain. Also, didnt see Holden laughing so hard during the movie.

6:23 lmfao didn't see that one coming :D:D:D

That "in medias res" tactic used at the start of the movie is a JJ Abrams staple. He used it constantly throughout Alias and Lost so its really no surprise he used it here. I always found it to be a cheap tactic to get the audience's interest since it blows what comes later. One other thing: for the third straight Mission Impossible movie, they used the IMF traitor as the primary villain. First it was Jim Phelps. Then it was Ambrose. And now it was Billy Crudup, albeit this time he was the "misguided patriot" trope. Fortunately this was the last time they used that idea in the franchise. Still it was a fun movie overall.
