Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation

Quite predictable, pretty unrealistic and still very enjoyable. That being said, this movie is everything you can expect it to be. Quick and interesting action and even if you can predict what's gonna happen next (sometimes precisely to a second) you still will enjoy seeing how they made it happen. As for acting: Rebecca Ferguson's lovely, Simon Pegg'g good, Ving Rhames Jeremy Renner and Simon McBurney are adequate for their characters, and Tom Cruise... well he's the way he is, if you love him you'll love him here and if he annoys you... ;) All in all it's an action movie and if that's what you expect than you surely won't be disappointed.

The first movie Mission: Impossible (1996) was an exceptionally good start to the franchise, Mission: Impossible 2 (2000) was not that great, Mission: Impossible 3 (2006) was simply good, and Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol (2011) was as good as the first movie. Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation (2015) was great, and as good as the first and fourth movie, this movie was just as cool, fun, and suspenseful as the earlier installment.

Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt was great, along with the whole team like Simon Pegg back as Benji, Jeremy Renner back as Brandt, and Ving Rhames playing Luther who were great to see. I liked Rebecca Ferguson's character who was great action scenes, and was an assassin hired by the organization called the Syndicate who does help Ethan and his team on stopping the main villain from getting what he wants. I liked the team comradery between everyone, and I liked Alec Baldwin as the secretary going from the organization IMF to CSI looking for Ethan while also believing the Syndicate organization is not real, so Ethan must prove it.

The action sequences are outstanding; wide shots, and Tom Cruise doing great stunts either on foot, on a motorcycle, by car, or an amazing underwater sequence where he must hold his breath. There are a lot of action sequences where you are on the edge of your seat. The villain was good, and he had good motivation, he was also very unlikable where you want Ethan and the team to stop him and take him down before he does any more harm.

Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation (2015) was what I liked about the first and fourth movie; it is fun and well-paced and fun to watch giving a great action movie experience. I cannot say anything else other than see it if you have not already for the fantastic fifth installment in the Mission: impossible franchise.

Tom Cruise stars as the experienced spy in the fifth installment of the "Mission: Impossible" franchise directed by Christopher McQuarrie. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team take on their most difficult mission yet as they must destroy the international criminal organization known as the Syndicate.

The movie is full of twists and turns and the constant time pressure makes the movie very thrilling to watch. Tom Cruise and his colleagues at IMF are constantly battling against the clock. It makes for very thrilling and anxiety-inducing cinema. The viewer is always on the edge of their seat.

Knowing that Tom Cruise is doing his own stunts is the cherry on the top. These movies would be nothing without Cruise. His dangerous stunts which get better with each movie entry are always captivating, engaging, and jaw-dropping.

Rebecca Fergusson is a great addition to the already spectacular cast. She plays Ilsa Faulst who is a mysterious but powerful counterpart to Ethan Hunt. Benji played by Simon Pegg is also a standout character with his much-needed comedic relief.

The real mission impossible is creating a movie franchise where the movies keep getting better with every entry. What Christopher McQuarrie has created alongside Tom Cruise remains to be one of the best action movies of all time. There might not be a lot of substance, but it is a great, entertaining, and thrilling movie filled with spectacular and astonishing set pieces and stunts. Cruise's commitment to his role is awe-inspiring. He will go down in history as one of the most legendary movie stars of all time.

Found the first three films ones that had a lot to like (namely the action, the visuals, good casting on the whole and Philip Seymour Hoffmann's superb villain in the third) but also their faults (plot convolution in the first and third and the characters could have been written better in the second and third).

'Ghost Protocool' to me was a great film and the best of the series since the original, and actually better than it, mainly because the story even though somewhat familiar seemed more focused and far less convoluted. The latest instalment 'Rogue Nation' is on 'Ghost Protocool's' very high level. Sure, there is a little bit of familiarity and the basic structure is somewhat formulaic, but 'Rogue Nation' has enough freshness and so much fast and furious excitement and thrills it doesn't feel like an issue.

Visually, 'Rogue Nation' is even slicker and even more stylish than 'Ghost Protocool', perhaps the most audacious of all five films put together. The locations, from sinister drabness to stunningly colourful, are a feast for the eye and the effect dazzle. The music doesn't overbear the action and such at all while making a pulsating impact thanks to the thrillingly authentic sound.

With the exception of a few choppy combat scenes, big emphasis on the few, the action is bigger, bolder and more dynamic than any other action scenes seen before in the previous four instalments. Many are breath-taking in their excitement and also nuances. Christopher McQuarrie's directing is some of the best he's ever done, with a great sense of visual style and a real grasp of the storytelling.

'Rogue Nation's' script is sharp, knowingly sophisticated with the humour (not cheesy or out of place) and intrigue superbly balanced. The story is told at a breakneck pace without being rushed and grips one right in and never lets go. There is an appealing light-heartedness, tongue-in-cheek and suspense of superior tension and elegance (as far as the 'Mission Impossible' films go) worthy of Alfred Hitchcock, a big claim and to some hyperbolic but it felt that way to me and it is grand praise indeed.

Tom Cruise is very impressive, handling the stunts with effortless and enviable ease and acting with steely charisma. Rebecca Ferguson shows a knack for scene-stealing, with her in ersatz breath-of-fresh-air form. Sean Harris is an intimidatingly menacing villain, one of the best written villains of the series, while Simon Pegg's comic relief in no way jars and is actually very funny and Jeremy Renner's presence is more than welcome. It is a shame however that Ving Rhames, though charismatic, is underused.

Overall, a sheer delight and one mission that is a must see. 9/10 Bethany Cox

It was an absolute privilege to bear witness to the Mission: Impossible film series. Among them, Mission: Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation stands out as an unyielding spectacle, enthralling the audience with its captivating sequences from start to finish. Both MI 4 and MI 5 commence with unparalleled intensity, leaving the viewers perched on the edge of their seats right from the opening moments. Mere minutes into the film, we are graced with Ethan Hunt's breathtaking stunt, catapulting us into a gripping and superbly crafted plot.

As I indulged in Rogue Nation in the year 2023, fortune smiled upon me, for I discovered the presence of Alexei, renowned for his role in Stranger Things, adding an unexpected but welcome charm to the cinematic experience.

The film's stunning visuals and meticulous planning render it a true cinematic gem. The choreographed stunts, impeccable action sequences, and masterfully timed performances, along with exceptional direction and a compelling script, beckon one to revisit this cinematic triumph multiple times. MI Rogue Nation proudly claims its place as one of the paramount offerings in the secret service genre, trailing only behind its predecessors, Ghost Protocol and Fallout.

Rebecca Ferguson, with her unparalleled allure and cunning prowess, undoubtedly stole the show. Her scenes were nothing short of extraordinary, leaving an indelible mark on the viewer's memory. Although Tom Cruise, as the unwavering protagonist, carried the film to its triumphant conclusion with his trademark brilliance, Rebecca's performance was undeniably a cut above the rest. Simon Pegg, reminiscent of his role in the fourth installment, brought a delightful sense of levity and camaraderie to the series, enriching the overall experience. Jeremy Renner, too, delivered a powerful and compelling portrayal, further adding depth to the ensemble cast.

Additionally, the film's background music played an instrumental role in maintaining an immersive atmosphere, keeping the audience thoroughly engaged throughout the thrilling action. The cinematography and action sequences showcased technical brilliance of the highest order. However, in my humble estimation, I consider it the third best installment in the Mission: Impossible series.

Emphatically carrying the torch of the MI legacy, this film is an absolute must-watch for aficionados of adrenaline-pumping action and devoted Tom Cruise fans alike. Personally, I found myself thoroughly engrossed, scarcely able to identify any lackluster moments throughout the duration of the film, and thus, I grant it a resounding score of 8, which speaks volumes about its exceptional quality and entertainment value.
