I think M:I is still cool,though sligthly dated now....and very "strong studio influence feeling".[Before the "more realistic" Bourne stuff appeared] Lots of iconic scenes/set pieces though.More so than the rest ! Didn't like the "rat scene",it didn't need that !!!! And a certain Mr. Leon coulda looked a tad more "concerned" & not bored piloting a helicopter inside a fricken tunnel with trains whizzing by!.Danny Elfman's best stuff.
M:I-2 was.....different.A little too much Ethan Hunt & nowhere near enough M:I Team.Ving was demoted so much, down to silly comments about clothing and I half expected him to start shouting "Riggs,Riggs,Riggs" because it reminded me of Danny Glover's Murtaugh."MetallicA in the soundtrack !!! Zimmer's guitar stuff.And cool to see motorbikes used in action scenes...
M:I-III was....almost a perfect balance,though the vatican "bomb" [no international outcry !!!?] and prolonged Ethan Death-scene ruined it for me....[well i did have a group of kids in front of me giggling [at breasts] & squeaking their chairs in time to "Julia's CPR" !!!!]Movie had good team work stuff.
M:I-GP .....was a little un-enthused when i saw yet another "tall building" set piece ![Even tallest building in the World] But, dug the new title,instead of "4" and the cast looks the best yet.When I saw Prague pics, I wondered if they'd tie in with the 1st movie somehow.Same guy doing the score from the 3rd....and this trailer,despite enima's sing song,!.[Like Pink's bit more than his] looks like an early Christmas present ! 5 and a half months to wait....can't wait !! oh ! and those fight scenes look full contact.Impressed.
