Can't say I understand the Ferguson thing (she's not unattractive don't get me wrong, but I don't think she's as fit as the rest of the internet seems to) but I do see what you mean. I think it's going to be a problem in the future though because they don't really have their own identity. It's working out well for them obviously with how successful the films are but that's because at the minute, it's James Bond starring Tom Cruise. Once he gets too old, all they have left is a Bond rip off. If they want to carry on past him (which they could do since they have the team angle) then they should try to be a bit more unique imo.
Replacing Cruise will be difficult however. Some have speculated that a team approach will be the best way to go, since very few actors can match his star power. I personally agree, and actually think the risk is lower with MI in comparison to Bond, which does rely primarily on the lead actor to drive the show.
Re post Cruise, a power vacuum within the team and a struggle to establish leadership could make a very interesting back story.
I don’t see them trying to recast Hunt.
When Cruise has had enough of the MI role, they can continue with a new team. After all the IMF is a team based group, unlike Bond. It's much easier to continue.
He also called Fallout, "The largest practical action movie ever shot."
I don't doubt that just judging from the trailer. I hope Eon is listening to this.
It makes you think about it in a way of "hmm...i never thought about it"..what happens if he doesn't...also it speaks volumes about Ethan Hunt...it will probably be part of an amazing villain monologue as well...it's crazy how one little line can have different impacts on the story I guess. I hope this movie has the same good writing/action from Ghost Protocol.
I enjoyed RN for what it was but...man I just want an amazing movie that will at least be on par with GP...like have a better "schedule" of big action scenes...what made GP so great was that it had AMAZING AMAZING aciton scenes and stunts......that just got bigger every time.
SO that's what I want from Fallout.
It starts with something crazy and good.
40 minutes in the movie we see something crazy thinking "WOW that's such a crazy stunt/scene" that will bring the thrills......but 20-30 minutes later you see something even better....and 20 minutes later even better..and it ends with something completely breathtaking.
Like imagine if the opera scene in RN was the end? So good.
And judging from the trailer there's going to be lots of action and stunts in this one so I just hope they are put in "good, better, best" fashion in the movie.
This has mad mad potential to be great.
Let's hope it is at least on level of GP...at least for my taste..but I think most of you will agree :D
I also quite liked the ending scene in MI3 though, too. So maybe that's just indicative of my tastes more than anything.
GP was a blast and I loved it, but it needed a bit of time to develop its villains a bit more in order to be the best film. It sits snuggly behind RN for me.
As others have mentioned, GP was a Lewis Gilbert Mission Impossible film, whereas Rogue Nation was more like a John Glen flick.
That being said, I'd imagine Fallout will probably fall somewhere between the two previous films - so I think we'll all end up happy!
"Tom doesn't like green screen. The audience can tell when they've been cheated."
Not subtle but effective. How can you compete against that?
I think I would've been better off holding off, as well! Wasn't ready for it to look so damn amazing. I knew it'd be good, but not this good.
My personal ranking...
1. Ghost Protocol
2. III
3. Mission: Impossible
4. Rogue Nation
5. II
hmmm..we're sorta..but just sorta same :D Nice to see someone that likes 3 as well.
For me it's
1. GP
2. III
3. RN
4: II
5. M:I
idk, the original is too drama-ish for me :D
Seriously though, I think he kept her alive because he thought he could use her. Ultimately she was being double crossed by her handler Attley.
