I don’t love these movies as much as the 007 flicks, but I have to admit Tom Cruise is a GOAT.
At this point, I think he has to make anyone’s action movie Mount Rushmore. |

We went through this some time ago and i think the conclusion was inescapable that, while Skyfall is the best movie of all of them, the MI series has bested Bond since it first came on the scene in the early 90s..
And somehow it keeps getting better. Cruise may be the last great 'movie star' - you put him on a poster and that movie is going to do well. While Hemsworth is out there making movies for Netflix during what should be his prime and Vin coasting on inertia, Cruise is 60 and throwing out bangers.

The MIs are fantastical, sure, but they did a good job of not taking it too far. |

Yeah, the MI series has surpassed it all for me. It just keeps getting better.

I really enjoy the series, I just hope Part Two doesn't end with Cruise being a burned-out sad sack who is easily outperformed by a "strong female character" who is 115 lbs dripping wet, a third of his age, and has very little training or experience.

Is Kathleen Kennedy responsible for it?

And just penned a nice little love story to the US Navy where an old white guy saves the day with his young white guy sidekick. Gonna go ahead and say that as long as Cruise is in charge of things, MI is gonna be just fine.

Judging by Maverick, and his demonstration of gratitude for the support it received, he seems to have his finger on the pulse of the action movie fan base. I see no reason to worry about this getting mucked up, at least not in the regard being discussed (and likely not at all).

Still, there’s just something about these movies that I don’t love. Looks like there has been six of them by now and I can’t say I can tell you what the plot was in any one of them.
I think I remember one they were trying to stop the bad guy from getting an antimatter bomb or something? That was probably the one with Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Maybe it was MI 3..? I’m not sure. |
