NO WAY this is the best one. CRAZY reviews! Same old Same old... even more suspension of disbelief! SILLY! the first 1996 MI is still the best one.

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2015)

People writing that this MI is the best is out of their minds or they must be teens from this generation...
They just can't make films like they used to... I guess studios pressure too much to rush things and cram as much ridiculous action and ideas as possible... can't they understand LESS is usually MORE?!? I understand Ethan Hunt is a super agent, but he's not superman! It all started with Ghost Protocol (directed by a guy who makes great animated films like Incredibles) turning the series very cartoony... and Rogue Nation continues that style.
I mean, I can suspend disbelief, even as far as the agents to create realistic masks to disguise as others, but when are the lines drawn??? Too much and it gets TOO CARTOONY and the intensity actually backfires. When it takes you out of realism, one can't help but start to roll their eyes...
The trailer really hypes up the airplane scene, but it's really what you see in the trailer, which is a shame.
I believe the "underwater scene", also in the trailer, is supposed to be the "big mission" (like the first MI hanging in the office scene where they have to bypass several security.) I was really excited to see what they would come up with or how that part was going to be... However, that was also a letdown for me and it's a scene where you REALLY have to go beyond disbelief... I mean that facility itself is TOTALLY ridiculous; it's totally a movie setup scenario... I know it's called Mission Impossible... but let's not get carried away with Mission Outrageous! I mean, might as well have a mission where Ethan has to land on moon to retrieve something without a spacesuit or a rocket to fly on... Ethan can do it! Give me a break. He has no fear!
Funny how the underwater scene seems like they did that to take advantage of some 3D effects, but Rogue Nation actually isn't shown in 3D.
More long redundant car super close-up shots of bike chases we've seen before... it's getting old...
There's one scene where the car flips over and the CG is so horribly done... couldn't they have flipped a real car?? It was really bad.
If I had to rank the MI franchise, it would be: 1. Mission Impossible (1996) - having the most "realistic/serious/raw" feeling and instant classic mission scene (falling down rope/office sweatdrop and ending tunnel scene were exciting)
2. Mission Impossible III (2006) - Had the best villain and bridge scene was also exciting/memorable. For me, this had the best combination of humor without being overly ridiculous and action. Ethan really seemed the most vulnerable in this one, which made it more exciting. This one is VERY underrated because it was a time when Cruise was getting a lot of bad rep jumping on Oprah's couch/scientology
3. Mission Impossible II (2000) - Many disliked the story, but John Woo gave MI a whole new style. Many see these series for the action and the car dancing/bike chases were well done.
4 TIE. MI 4: Ghost Protocol (2011) & MI 5: Rogue Nation (2015)
If you actually enjoyed Ghost Protocol, then I'm sure you'll like this one too. The style is similar.
Personally, I didn't care for Ghost Protocol, so if you're like me and didn't enjoy that one, Rogue Nation is no different.
It's really what you expect... nothing more, nothing less... really nothing special that revolutionizes the series or action films.
Don't believe people who actually say this is the best one... ridiculous!
For me, the first 1996 MI is still the best one overall.
Although there is no slowing down in the movie, there just wasn't that build-up anticipation or really new excitement that's there in the original Mission Impossible film...
If you can accept silly action and enjoy the redundant car chases we've seen a million times already, the ticking time bomb that's also been overused a zillion times, bad guys that can never aim, then this film is for you.
Sorry, but I'm not easily impressed. Forgettable mission. The 1996 Mission Impossible hanging scene will always be a classic.
