I've seen the trailer several times now, I think the movie is looking very cool, the action is fantastic and I like the fact the whole IMF team are being hung out to dry by the President, it's not just Ethan's career/life on the line in terms of the story.

I think the music works well with the trailer and I've no issues with the editing. There are a couple of shots in there that remind me of other big action movies but overall I think Brad Bird has his own flair all over the footage.

to me it looks like he dies. i mean there are 3 shots of him in a row from the running scene.
1. he runs on the roof
2. he flies backwards from the roof to the ground shooting
3. another closeup right before impact on the street..

i know it a trailer, cut from tiny bits of the movie but how on earth should he survive that ?

I've been wondering about this as well, it's one of the best moneyshots in the trailer but how he survives will be interesting to see.
 
After seeing the trailer, the one thing that stuck greatly was that smoking hot woman in the green dress!

Looked her up, Paula Patton. Hot.

This is my background now. :awesome:
 
i thought the trailer looked great but hated the eminem music with it. but i get it...they're trying to make it "hip":grin:
 
So I just saw Mission Impossible 3 again and never has there been an action movie so simultaneously awesome and depressing. I don't think many action heroes get as kicked around as Ethan Hunt does. Not to mention the psychological horror of his wife in mortal danger and seemingly everyone out to get him and then he gets a bomb planted in his head. Enhanced by Cruise's expressions of pure terror and his panicky flailing run

Also,
Ethan Hunt: So what is the Rabbit's Foot (The MacGuffin)?
Morpheus: Why, didn't you know? *pokes chest* It was in your heart all along!
Ethan Hunt: :dry:

That is totally what the last scene should have been.
 
Didn't Paula Patton do this movie right after she gave birth?

I get what you mean. It's fairly dark and gritty for a summer action film.

It's not a particular shot, I mean I can see influences from various movies/directors in most trailers for action movies and truth is most directors influence when it comes to the composition of shots in action sequences, can be traced back to 4 directors. It's more the overall aesthetic of the footage that feels like it's own animal IMO.
 
Are spoiler tags necessary when speculating about the plot? :)

You mean,like,...

BIG ONE

Brandt is Phelp's son out for revenge !! Came to me when I saw they end up in river in Prague ! Obviously Claire wasn't his 1st wife !

I don't think audiences would want to see a movie franchise with a character that could be a traitor :huh: That is if Jenner does take over from Tom. They would want to keep him likeable if they expect him to carry this franchise after Tom
 
The trailer is so cliche. Though I liked the first and third films, I doubt I am interested in teh MI franchise anymore.
 
Trailer cliche? That trailer was kick ass. probably one of if not the best trailer I've seen this year. I'm ****ing excited for this movie.

And the Eminem music fit great.
