Ghost Protocol is when the series really took off for most, it seems, and has been killing it ever since. I'm glad you gave them another shot and enjoyed yourself.
And yes, Solomon Lane is criminally underrated as a villain.
This is just not true.
In terms of villains, I think I only really liked Philip Seymour Hoffman, which is ironic since he’s featured in the M:I film I rank dead last. Most others have been pretty forgettable as villains. Dougray Scott stands out just because he chews up the scenery in a way that makes his scenes entertaining.
3 is a weird one because it’s the beginning of the Bad Robot era, but not everything was figured out quite yet. It felt like Abrams was trying to do a stylized cross between ALIAS and BOURNE with all the shakycam.
I remember around the time CR was casting its characters, Newton was actually considered for the role of Vesper.
Yes. I think I also read that she deeply impressed the producers and Craig. But I can't remember what happened afterwards.
There are a lot of distinctive Woo-isms in there that make it a very good (if diluted) John Woo film, even if it's a very poor M:I film.

She would have been great; missed opportunity.
The first one had the CIA room. 2 had breaking into the lab, 3 had the Vatican, GP had Burj Kalifa and RN had the underwater computer terminal.
Granted it had the crazy helicopter and fight scene at the end and it is to think that breaking Lane out of custody was that main focal point of the halfway point. It was just missing that impossible stunt and time crunch scene that every other film had. As far as rankings go, it's much easier than Bond for me to rank.

Thandie Newton would've been a good addition to the Bond series.
However as Vesper, I feel that Eva Green gave us something that would be hard to surpass.
Very hard to believe, perhaps you like it so much that you're just being nostalgic.

It was a marathon in the cinema. Not many people stuck around after the first movie, I was one of maybe a dozen left by the last film. Thank you for attempting to make a liar out of me, but my memory is pretty solid. Strangely rude!
It's a fun film; good brain-off post-pub watching. It's so kind of silly fun that I can imagine a crowd would react to it well. It's far from my favourite MI but is of its time and sits well alongside other overblown 90s action films like Broken Arrow, Con Air and Face Off and all of those.
I know it came out in 2000 before anyone tries to correct, but it's a 90s action film in spirit.
They were definitely cheering in a self-aware, this is campy, sort of manner. When the doves fly etc. got big reactions. The John Woo-isms were a hit, but the audience also knew what it was in for. It was certainly a celebration. I'd imagine a fan-showing of DAD would have a similar result. People would "lean into it."
