McQuarrie was a mistake
great action but surprisingly shit writing.
>>214142772mcquarrie is why 5 6 and 7 were good foolthis sucked because cruise ghost made it
>>214142843but 5, 6 and 7 suck
>>214142866compared to what? snoozefest 4 with the lamest villain ever or corny ass 2 or unwatchable 1?3 and 5 are the best, then 6 and 7then the others are trash
>>214142772McQuarrie? McQuarrie is a puppet. These are Cruise's show.
McQuarrie is the David Yates of Mission Impossible.
>>214142772they had a 10/10 opportunity to bring caville back as the ultimate big bad guy but for some reason they brought on some offputting mexican guy and got rid of the hottest babe in the castfucking dumb
>>214143033Nah Atwell is hotter
>>214143088her and ferguson and monaghan are the hottest in the series for me with the asian chick from 3 and lea seydoux as bonus babes
>>214142843He also did uncredited rewrites of Ghost Protocol before stepping into the director's chair.So he's responsible for the whole middle section of 4, 5 and 6 being good, even if it kind of fell apart at the end
this was hilarious
>>214142928>3 and 5 are the best>3How? It's JJ Abrams' style of trash directing, with the mystery boxes and the relentlessly fast pacing that's supposed to hide the flaws and asks you to think of it as just a thrill ride without any thoughtful aspects.It has things like Hoffman's performance but they can only redeem and elevate it so much
>>214143033>bring Cavill backBro, he died 3 times in 10 seconds. He fell off a cliff. Took a hook to the face. Fell into the helicopter as it blew up.
>>214143479his directing is cool like michael bays and zack snyders
>>214142928>unwatchable 11 is the only good movie in the franchise, retard.
>>214143542lmao.But then MI 4 and 5 and 6 also manage to be "cool" and even more so, and without insulting your intelligence
>>214143596yikes>>2141436004 starts off well but becomes insanely boring fastand i already praised mcquarries entries
>>214143517its a movie not real lifewouldn't that make him even scarier as wellyou linear imaginationless faggot
>>214142928>or unwatchable 1Destroyed your whole argument with that line
>>214143657the sooner we all admit depalma is a hack the better
>>214143033>got rid of the hottest babe in the castI agree but it was a different babe and happened earlier than that. Paula Patton should have stuck around for more than one movie
>>214143517He's a snyderjeet. There's no talking sense into him.
>>214143628You're brown.
>>214143617>yikesOk>2 was le lame virus and Cruise with long hair standing on a moving motorcyle shit>3 was JJ shit>one of them had a lame "the villain wants to blow up a water processing plant in some 3rd world shit hole">the final movie(s) sucked1 was the best, the rest were bad to boring
>>214143596/thread
>>214143709>here's your mulatto starbucks barista bro she looks like she should be working craft services you tasteless odd dorks
>>214143033>rid of the hottest babe in the castBut Pom was there
>>214143803>water processing plantIt's much bigger scale than what you say. That plan in Fallout is to use nuclear bombs to irradiate the water supplies of India, Pakistan, and China, starving billions of people and stopping the emergence of an Eastern power bloc that can challenge or outcompete the Western one. Type of thing that would give most of this board a huge throbbing erection
>>214142772>dragged out reddit humor >cartoonish villain deathWtf were they thinking, the last one was great and looked goodDid some nipponese tranime director make this shit and why was it so dark with washed out colors. Lame.
>>214144007>f India, Pakistan, and China, starving billions of people and stopping the emergence of an Eastern power bloc that can challenge or outcompete the Western one.This was never going to happen anyway. India and Pakistan are forever mess. And there is only 1 magical water source for all 3 countries?
>>214143908but not there to be sexy, she was one of the gruesome killers
>>214142772It has flaws for sure (fuck the muh feminism token women in all positions of authority) but the flight scenes were cool and I like Ethan Hunt unironically being the best person in the world. But most importantly the submarine scenes were pure fucking kino and the last time I can remember feeling genuinely impressed by a cinema experience.
>>214144439>fuck the muh feminism token women in all positions of authorityUnironically this is the way the world is now, unfortunately. They forced woke into reality.
>>214144217>only 1 magical water source for all 3Yes, the Indus river. It's not the only water source for all 3 but it's a major one and the loss of it would be catastrophic for all 3.Back when Fallout was being made it was more widely believed that China's economy would surpass the US in the near future. It isn't discussed as much now
>>214143890You're gay and/or castrated.
>>214142772Watched Way of the Gun last week, it was great seeing Sarah Silverman's face get bloodied.
>>214142772The 3 first MI sucked hard, do no. Macquarie's problem is that the villains suck.
>>214143241I was watching dumbfounded. Was that the intent?
>>214144512>Yes, the Indus river. It's not the only water source for all 3 but it's a major one and the loss of it would be catastrophic for all 3.It wouldn't kill billions of people, retard. There would be a massive UN/worldwide humanitarian effort to get water there. The entire plot was fucking stupid. If you want to kill a lot of people in India, Pakistan and China you use the nukes on the major cities in those countries.>Back when Fallout was being made it was more widely believed that China's economy would surpass the US in the near future. IThis was never the case you fucking retard. Ever.
Should've held onto Brad Bird
>>214144820>This was never the case you fucking retard. Ever.I don't care how many times you type the word retard.Here's a late 2014 article boldly asserting that it had happened already. He was probably wrong but there was at least some basis for saying it. There's plenty of other punditry in the mid to late 2010s saying "it will happen soon" which you've never noticed or bothered to look for
>>214143908my god
>>214143908Damn, she looks fine AF as a brunette.
>>214143241What is the point of keeping that thing?
>>214145202To show the audience the one true messiah has control of the ultimate power.
>>214145202>>214145273It corrupted him
>>214145052>citing some Vanity Fair articleSorry, you are a fucking RETARD. There was zero talk in any economic serious circle of the Chinese economy surpassing the American economy.>There's plenty of other punditry in the mid to late 2010s saying "it will happen soon" which you've never noticed or bothered to look forAnd out of all of these you picked a fucking Vanity Fair article to make your point?
Imagine if William Donloe was the main villain, and the one who created the entity, all because he was moved to Alaska and wanted to find out who broke into his vault.
>>214144820>>214145478I mean he's 100% right and the prediction was made several times over the course of like 10 years. The first prediction that I'm aware of was made ~2011 with expectations for 2014. Another one was made around 2020. Only after the pandemic did those predictions shift because their economy slowed down so much. This is such a weird topic for you to REE over so badly.
>>214145478That article stood out to me because I was surprised that a mainstream outlet claimed it had happened already. You would have skrieked retard again no matter which one I picked. Or I could have compiled a long list of them but then you would pivot to "you're trying too hard" or whatever>>214145716Seriously. The argument isn't even that "it will happen," it's that "they were saying it would happen, around a decade ago." Such an easy thing to look up and verify
>>214143709They did invite her back for at least one other but she declined. Possibly because of Warcraft, I forget
>>214144705That’s a problem across the entire series. Most of them are solid romps but for some reason the villains are almost always a weak point
>>214145622I went into the new one thinking that was going to be the case. Was surprised when he turned out to be a hero
>>214142772Maybe I was just tired but the first 30 minutes or so felt incredibly disorganized and hecticI was already out of it when he thought the AI was out for him and then simply went out on the street despite it seeing through every camera on the planet
The whole thing didn't warrant two movies at all
>>214146161It didn't warrant one movie if we're being honest.
>>214142772It was a bit better than 7 but that was partly due to poms tits bouncing out of her top and the extended closeup on hayleys tits
>>214142772yeah his writing is fucking poorhe should let someone rewrite his shit
He gave us pom's poms in the prison break scene.
>>214143033fuck off cavil also if you're talking about that silo bitch she is the least attractive woman in the franchise
>>214145981god damn it, fucking warcraft?
>>214142772felt like a film for tiktokers, complete mess of a film, still love cruise
>>214144512>It isn't discussed as much nowwhat happened?
>>214142983Jesus Christ...
>>214142772McQuagmire...?
>>214146633As other anon said, their economy was hit harder by covid and they haven't recovered from it to the same degree the US has. MI Fallout came out shortly pre-covid.
>>214146814bravo cavill
>>214142772Fallout should have been his last one
>>214142843only 5 and 6 were good
>>214143033brother he DIED
I checked out as soon as they killed Ilsa and replaced her with that cavewoman with big honkers
>>214147067Thank you saar
>>214147098projection
>filmed too much>cut out even MORE exposition and themes around human connection beating the ID>still left in several scenes of introduction or going over the same knowledge>pointlessly awful president scenes>team basically get written out with barely anything to do>Hailey Atwell feels like a last minute replacement for Rebecca Ferguson>final action scene of your franchise is a fucking biplaneHere is a montage of past movies. Hey, let us now go over his previous missions AGAIN in front of the president. Why does Ethan need to talk to Aircraft Commander? Oh, because the original cut had a theme about human connection beating AI and President wrote a note to the commander but this cut barely had this theme so could have cut aircraft carrier and just had him go straight to the sub but because the trailer had to have a mention of giving him an aircraft carrier we couldn't cut these scenes.
>>214145716This article is from 2020 and again it's from some literal bias who think tank.
>>214145906>That article stood out to me because I was surprised that a mainstream outlet claimed it had happened already.So to you Vanity Fair is a mainstream outlet? Not the NY TImes, CNN, Fox News, WaPo?
>>214142772Still haven't seen this one, Dead Reckoning was too boring and fucking long + Atwell sucks
>>214147468>Still haven't seen this one, Dead Reckoning was too boring and fucking long + Atwell sucksbased
>>214147468Sadly this one has the same problems. Some great set pieces, but for some reason what would barely be enough plot for one movie is dragged over two, and they’re the longest in the series. Needlessly drawn out. Also blatantly giving all of Ferguson’s material to Atwell pissed me off
>>214147468>>214147519these
>>214142772I'm gonna say itI can't fucking stand simon pegg and voing rames is repulsie to watch laboured-breath-act
>>214142843None of those movies are good. But I will always like McQuarrie for Way of the Gun
>>214147784the caville one is giga kino the rest are f-tier
>>214147168>>final action scene of your franchise is a fucking biplane The bad guy just doing repetitive video game boss lines during that whole scene was so goofy
I get that the whole series had a whole "go teamwork" aspect but the last few movies went all fast and furious familia where Ethan is such a heckin good guy and everyone's sucking him off, even the cia nerd who got banished to the middle of the artic for 30 years because Ethan screwed him over
Whole movie seems to be shot in poorly lit roomsAnd dialogue that is somehow cringe and self congratulatory
Watched the entire series in preparation for the last movie and I have no idea why people hated this one so much. To me it was the perfect culmination of every strength and flaw the series had, giving in to both and just going with it. MI4 still the best one though
>>214147901>The bad guyThe bad guy killed a woman. Ethan got framed for killing the woman and chose to join the IMF instead. Who was this guy? Never properly explained. Even though he was essentially the guy who made Ethan who he was. Also:>AI is the Rabbits foot lol.>Hey look its that guy from the first film!>That guy who is trying to track Ethan is actually son of the bad guy from the first film and is Jim Phelps Jr.
>>214142772>McQuarrieFallout was the best in the franchise thoTheir mistake was getting audience captured
>>214143241That scene made me walk out of the theater
>>214149306lol, good one.
The writing was absolutely atrocious but I don't care because I will forgive the MI movies for anything except being boring (which they never are).
Sixth one is the best one.Best scene ever, best music, best cinematography, Tom Cruise running as fast as he can:https://youtube.com/watch?v=WW8ujxFd4E0
