Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation - Part 1

[Loki882]

Maybe that's why he's just, kind of there in this film. I mean he doesn't even get a fight scene (despite GP establishing that he was almost as big a badass as Ethan was).

 

[Octoberist]

He's kinda whiney, that William Brandt.

 

[vanson]

I've never seen an interview with anyone of the people involved in the
mission franchise who even talked about that renner was going to take over or
that cruise wanted to quit.

There was some dude who wrote a fake plot summary couple weeks before
ghost protocol came out. And he basically said that hunt dies and renner take over..
so its most likely a bs rumor that came from that.

 

[protocida]

Jeremy Renner mentioned it once Brandt was a back-up to replace Hunt should Tom Cruise leave the franchise. Supposedly, early drafts emphasized that more, but by the time the movie was shooting, Cruise had already restored his profile and was willing to do more, so by the end Brandt was written as just a new addition to the roster.

Still thinking about this flick. I love the emphasis on friendship in the film. The bad guys and the system are constantly trying to hurt their soldiers and that's something i can relate to. Hunt and Kane are both Rogue throughout the film, what makes hunt good is his devotion to his friends. He takes it so far he even uses himself as a human shield in the final scene.

I liked how Kane stated Hunt was a gambler, i half expected him to clarify that hunt was a maverick.

I also had an idea for the sixth one. When hunt asks elsa if they had met, it was as if he did not trust his own mind. To think that this agent has been through so much ****. It would make sense that he might be a little nuts, thats something I would explore.

 

[batman1]

I really didn't know how he was going to beat him mentally. But in the end it was check mate.

 

[Loki882]

Just a minor correction, it's "Ilsa" and "Lane." Ok moving on. Dat Sean Harris, creepy from the first second that he's onscreen all the way to the last.

I think that they touched on that a little bit with this film with the suggestion that Ethan was obsessed with beating Kane

I finally saw it today and I don't understand the 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes, yeah the stunts and action were nice but I guess I'm just a hard man to impress when it comes to great action films. The problem with all of the MI films are their overtly complicated plots that need to meet the three act structure of an action film and the MI films get as stale as the James Bond franchise.

 

[Slushy]

You either end a franchise or live long enough to see become another Die Another Day. #GrabThePlane

Bring down the syndicate.
Thats the plot.
Now MI II with its plot about using a biological weapon to help manipulate stock prices , that was too complicated.

 

[godisawesome]

Anybody else think that the Syndicate, or at least the vast majority of its man-power, is still in the field? I mean, Lane and his position in the group wasn't really a counterpart to Ethan, he was more of a counterpart to the Secretary of the IMF. They caught him, killed his most loyal thug, and killed quite a few of his other agents, but he'd already gathered what looked like a hundred or so. Lane was already operating without the 2 billion dollar fund; mate the remains of the Syndicate are the rivals to IMF in the next mission?

 

[Loki882]

Yeah I had the same thought. It'd be such a waste if they introduced this powerful/shadowy global villain organization, and they get taken out completely in one film because a few of their people got taken out. It'd be like introducing SPECTRE or HYDRA, building them up, and then getting rid of them after only one film. And in this case, I feel like they didn't really play up the whole "anti-IMF" thing as much as I'd expected/hoped that they would. So that gives them even more reason to return (with a new leader probably).

Supposedly they were initially talking to Jessica Chastain (for what I presume was Rebecca Ferguson's role). However, Chastain might be me suited to a "mastermind" type of role. The new leader of The Syndicate perhaps?

 

[DyeLorean]

I've been thinking about this film too lately. I like how is a mixture of the spectacle and dynamic of M:I Ghost Protocol with some of the spy-thriller-suspense from M:I.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Well, in the TV series, the Syndicate was the primary villain soon after Leonard Nimoy joined the show.

 

[ThePhantasm]

The plane sequence was way too short. It basically amounted to what we had seen in the trailers. I felt a little underwhelmed by it in the end.

I agree, they did kind of give away the big money shot in the trailer and there wasn't much beyond that.

 

[TheVileOne]

He's kinda whiney, that William Brandt.

Another reason why the torch can never be passed to him and why Renner can't carry his own franchise.

They hyped it up to be the next level of the Dubai scene in GP and it was really just a footnote in the grand scheme of the movie.

I kinda liked the fact it was only the pre-credits scene, because I didn't really know what to expect later on.

 

[DyeLorean]

About the plane sequence. The way I see it, they couldn't possibly live up to the Dubai sequence so they said "ok, this is it. We can't top it, but here, have a cool pre-credits sequence and let's move on".

 

[BigA]

I had a deal on Amazon where you buy the Blu-ray quadrilogy (it was on sale for $21, though it's $36) bucks, you get 8 bucks off and I finally got my code. I enjoyed it equally as much as Ghost Protocol. I liked how the tone was different. I saw it in Imax.

 

[Raiden]

I saw this movie on Sunday, and while I really like this latest installment of the MI franchise, all I really want at the end of the movie is to see more Rebecca Ferguson's character. She's definitely the highlight of the movie for me.

 

[flickchick85]

Just saw it for the 4th time on beautiful laser IMAX. Still awesome. Love how Ethan's IMF designation hasn't changed since the first film. (BE-11, or "Bravo. Echo. One. One." He even says it the same way, lol)
