[Full Reaction] Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation

Comments

DesertSwordsman

The best I've ever been able to do was 2 minutes and 22 seconds, for holding my breath. I cannot comprehend how some can go for five minutes or more.

Kit Taylor

Thanks for the reaction! This is my second favorite of all of them. My order is 1) Fallout, 2) Rogue Nation, 3) MI III 4) The original 5) Dead Reckoning I 6) MI II 7) Ghost Protocol. It's always been a mystery to me why Ghost Protocol got such good reviews. IMO it's the worst of the franchise by far, mostly because of lack of chemistry between the team members. Anyway, as always I'm going to mention my favorite movie of all time, "Annihilation"... same director as "Ex Machina", stars Natalie Portman and Oscar Isaac (Dune), I really think you guys would love it. See you soon!

Brian McGovern

Forgot to switch mic on. Tsk tsk. Maybe create a check list to tick things off moving forward.

Sahitya

This is my favorite most of the time, but i go back and forth with it and fallout. You might as well change the channel name from "popcorn in bed" to "Tom Cruise in bed" lol. Ill see my myself out

MikeLL

Yeah it keeps getting better and better! You got that right!

Chris Mick

Thanks to this movie, Edge of Tomorrow & Mission Impossible Fallout I had the pleasure of working with Tom Cruise (in the loosest of terms) 3 times in 4 years as part of the Air Force liaison team. From my experience he appeared to be a true gentleman wanting nothing but the best for his cast, crew and movie. And yes he really did all of the stunt sequence at the start of this movie.

Biggman83

Ooo nice! one to watch this evening! If your enjoying Simon Pegg take on a larger role in the MI series, make some time to watch Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Worlds End.

James Reeves

Fallout is much better. Henry Cavill is so good.

Philip Alan

You two are so good together! The next one (Fallout) is BONKERS! (so gooooood)

Wu Sha Ling

this one is my favorite. rebecca ferguson's performance is mesmerizing

JL_83

Agent Carter, the female member of the team in Ghost Protocol was played by Paula Patton; she allegedly had a scheduling conflict which kept her from returning for this one

James1035

The Mission Impossible franchise is everything you could want in an action franchise. I’ve said it before Tom Cruise knows how to make an entertaining movie.

James1035

It’s pretty impressive actually. Most franchises get worse as they go on.

aarswft

This was good but I am VERY EXCITED for you two to watch 6.

Jayson Phillips

Im confused sisters? or just friends? The woman is a swedish actress and she played the mom in the new Dune

James1035

I agree. I think she would like all three of those movies. Think she should do Shaun of the Dead for October. Kind of fits scary, but not to scary

Cole Jennett

Definitely my favourite of the series. One of my favourite theatre experiences of my life. The series stops it’s ascent here in my opinion, but 6 is as good as 4 imo, so not a big dip by any means.

Robert da Spruce

Nice!! Wish I didn’t have to go to work right now! 😀 Looking forward to watching this one tonight!!

Steve Colletti

This one is my favorite, but just by a bit over Fallout.

Jason Dolan

What's great is Rogue Nation and Fallout are basically one big movie

Dave Hill

After MI:7 next year, what's supposed to be the grand finale MI:8 will be broken up into 2 parts. So lots more action still to come. Can't wait! =)

Night King01

I think Tom learned to hold his breath for about 8 minutes to film that underwater scene

Popcorn In Bed

That really is so cool! A gentlemen and a scholar ;) haha Like the plane was moving~~?!?!? what in the world!

Popcorn In Bed

I can't wait, might need to move it up! Was going to wait until November after scary month, but we shall seeeee

MikeLL

You are in Christopher McQuarrie's world now. He: -wrote The Usual Suspects -wrote some other films Tom Cruise starred in, Valkyrie (2008), Jack Reacher (2012 and directed) The Mummy (2017) -wrote and directed M:I Rogue Nation -wrote and directed M:I Fallout -is writing and directing the next two M:I's Dead Reckoning Part 1 (2023) and Part 2 (2024) It's his world now. We just watch movies in it.

Patrick Egan

Ilsa Faust is definitely one of the coolest characters in the entire franchise. Rebecca Ferguson did such a great job. Not only had she never done fight work before, SHE'S AFRAID OF HEIGHTS.

WastedPo

One of the things I like about this movie is how the score composer (Joe Kraemer) incorporated the "Nessun Dorma" opera piece throughout to represent Ilsa. It actually starts in the very first scene that she's in with just a bare hint of it in the minor key when she turns around. And then we hear it in earnest as "source music" when Ethan gets a good look at her from a distance during the actual opera. And again much later when she asks Ethan to run away with her. Finally there's a pretty full version at the very end when they say goodbye. (There might've been more instances, but those really stuck out for me.)

brooke atkins

“Are they gonna kiss?” 🤦‍♀️ Lol leave it to Cassie to look for the romance in a film where there is absolutely no romance. Had me laughing so hard. This franchise is just so dang good!! If you wanna see Tom in a much different kinda role watch born on the Fourth of July and interview with the vampire. Both great but very difficult films!!

Bill Maurer

This one and the next one are the best of the series. Sooooo looking forward to next year's MI movie. Another Tom Cruise movie you should check out (yes, I know, submit it on the web page ...) is Edge of Tomorrow. Thanks, enjoy what you (and sis) do. Have a great rest of week and an even better weekend.

David

Thank goodness Cassie stood up against that Catherine Zeta Jones nonsense!

Goony71

One of my favorite sci fi movies, might be because of Emily blunt though…

Andrew Rose

You reconize the woman because she was the mother in Dune. Rebecca Fergusen

MikeLL

I really love your post and had not noticed how Kraemer used the opera piece as a theme for Ilsa. Thanks for pointing that out. As for the music in general, usually the film composer will incorporate two key pieces of the original TV show score. The first of course is the familiar TV show theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwpXUn2dF5c and the second is a piece of music called The Plot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhbzW7Vz-j4&list=RDT8lmSxTH3NA&index=3 Joe Kraemer incorporated both pieces of music into this section of the Rogue Nation score titled The A400: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCDZ36rIt1s&list=OLAK5uy_m4GImF6N0eXgAwlOy6---EPkDPHUrxFDI&index=2 I just love the Mission Impossible music and the film scores.

Greg M

In the scene when Hunt is in London reporting back to Brandt, where the guy answers the sat comm center phone there was a brief, two second clip of this phone call routing guy sitting at his console with a row of old school phones with a red light on one side and green on the other. If you blinked you missed it. That looked like a scene straight out of the Robert Redford movie “3 Days of the Condor” where the wheelchair guy, callsign “the major” answers the phones and routes them. Right after that, while chasing Hunt in Cuba, they are using call sign “Brimstone” which seems like a shout out to the early Bourne movie. Connection - both of those movies have the agency chasing down their own guys, too.

Celeste McAllister

It's said Tom got his inspiration for doing dangerous stunts from Steve McQueen whom he greatly admired..they have some personality traits in common with each other..When you watch "The great escape" I think you'll see what I'm getting at. :)

James1035

It was a good movie experience. If Tom Cruise is making a big budget action movie it always seems like a must see in theater.

Dean Holt

It’s been brilliant watching all the MI movies again with both of you as it’s the closest I’ll get to seeing them again for the first time. After you’ve seen Fallout you’ll have to watch the Jack Reacher movies as they are great action films. As the new Mi film is out next year. A few other Tom Cruise films you should check out is American Made, Edge of Tomorrow, Collateral, Jerry Maguire, Rain Man and Cocktail you should really like that as it’s romantic comedy/drama.

Uncle Phoenix

Wouldn’t it be amazing if Cassie and Carly watched 300 as one of the October Pseudo-Scary movies?

Ike

Mission Impossible always starts off right in the middle of a mission, then… (drumroll) *dun dun DUN!-DUN! dun dun dun* Gets me in the spy mood every time. How many franchises do that? So good.

Sahitya

Wouldn't say there isn't romance, but more like sexual tension

Martin Björling

I LOVE Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust in this movie. But I might be a bit biased since I'm from Sweden (she's also Swedish for those who didn't know). She is a total badass and she actually saves Ethans life twice in this movie (three times if you count when he is almost falling off the roof of the opera house. Some reviews I have seen even argue that she is a stronger spy/assassin than Ethan, which in my opinion is an awesome move to promote female power. A bit of trivia is that in the very famous movie Casablanca, Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman played the leading female role against Humphrey Bogart. Her characters name is Ilsa Lund, same first name as Ilsa Faust in this movie, played by Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson. And a major part of the movie takes place in Casablanca, Morocco.

Michael Jung

If you like Michelle Monaghan, you should watch "Kiss, Kiss Bang Bang" with Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer!

Björn Karlsson

Hmmm you are swedish right? Yes you are. I was sloppy when I read your comment.😆 I harass all Scandinavians here 🤪 I guess you have seen Fcuking Åmål? Did you like it? I'm trying to get Cassie doing a reaction of that movie. Sooooo I wonder If you can request that movie in popcorn request. The name here is Show me love 😃

Patrick Reynolds

This was great. I forgot that Carly is a fan of Alias. We use to have watch parties for Alias. We also had watch parties for a British spy series called "MI-5." MI-5 was great since it seemed very realistic. Looking forward to the next Mission.

Erik Daniel

I can't express how excited I am for this. I knew it was coming, and it crossed my mind that it could be up when I got home from work, but I never thought I'd be that lucky. Wooo let's go!

Tyler Foster

Not the first time the series has referenced it either. When I finally watched 3 Days of the Condor, it is striking how much the beginning of the first Mission: Impossible is modeled on the beginning of Condor.

Tyler Foster

I think this is the best movie in the series, because it combines the wild stunts of 4-6 with the more dedicated spy thriller material of the first Mission: Impossible movie. In case you were wondering, the stunt in this one that really took the cake was actually the plane stunt -- Cruise really strapped himself to the side of an airplane and went up 1,000 feet in the air on it for that sequence. I believe he did four takes of it. Can't wait to see you get to Fallout, which is no slouch even if I think this one is perfect. Lots of surprises that you two are going to flip out over. It will be fun even if it's the end for now -- and, sadly, the next Mission: Impossible is not only not coming out this year, but it won't be out until summer 2023. It's the first of a two-parter, and the second one is supposed to be Cruise's final Mission: Impossible movie. Can't wait to see how it all wraps up.

Jamison Bognuda

Carly says “fetch” more often than I say “phooey.” My compliments, fellow potty mouth.

N M

I thought fetch was the word that one of the Mean Girls tried to make popular, but was told it would never happen…. So I guess it did happen?!?

Robert da Spruce

Hold your Breath contest! You guys crack me up! 🤣 As others have mentioned, Rebecca Ferguson is the mother in Dune. I think you’re more likely to know her from “The Greatest Showman” though. Great reaction ladies! I had a fun time! Looking forward to the next one!

zynjams

that ending is more like the original tv series . it was awesome

Eric

Cassie, that was funny when you mimicked the villain, Solomon Lane. LOL! Another genius action packed Mission Impossible.

Erik Daniel

I wonder if a 'behind the scenes' reaction would be a possibility. After they wrap up the series (before Dead Reckoning comes out), I would love to see their reaction to the making of all the crazy stunts they've seen. I watched the plane stunt featurette before watching this, and it really is incredible to see how it's done. I mean, the man got strapped to a plane while it took off. 8 times!

TwistedMagoo

Great reaction! I'm not sure if that one or the next one is my favorite...but I'm pretty sure you will enjoy 'Fallout' for a few reasons.

Patrick Egan

I think what makes this such a great entry in the franchise is how well it balances the big action set pieces with the twisty-turny "who can you trust" vibe of the first movie. It's much more than a "bad guy wants The Thing, we have to keep him from getting The Thing", when in most of these movies it doesn't really matter what The Thing is. But coming from the same guy who wrote The Usual Suspects, I would expect nothing less :)

Robert da Spruce

“When in most of these movies it doesn’t really matter what The Thing is” I think Ben Grimm(a.k.a. The Thing) would take issue with that statement! 😉

WastedPo

I was going to suggest this myself. It would be a good thing to tide them over until the MI-7 as well.

FranciscoGios

When Carly comes back you guys need to see Fallout, both sisters would be surprised.

Jeff Milcheck

This one threw me for a loop… I’d sworn I had seen all the Mission Impossible movies, but as I’m watching, nothing seemed familiar… turns out, I’ve never seen one second of this film… but it’s now one of my faves…. That underwater scene should be shown in film schools as how to build suspense… incredible.

Andrew

Fallout is the best one too!

Eric Wallace

If you see Tom Cruise doing something insane hes doing the actual stunt. Holding on the plane, shimming up the pole, holding his breath underwater for an insane period of time, and all of the driving and motorcycling

DoomsdayMachine

I'm impressed that Cassie held her breath for nearly a minute! Tom Cruise, on the other hand, trained so that he could hold his breath for six minutes for that underwater sequence. Why? Because he's Tom Cruise.

London Davis

Cassie my wife is asking for a favor. She is hoping you could ask Carly to try and refrain from giving away plot twists or at least guessing them or what's gonna happen next. A lot of these films she is watching for the first time too and avoiding spoilers would be appreciated. I'd like to continue watching these with her so if there is anything you can do it would be appreciated. Thank you!

Larry Darrell

Cassie & Carly Return to Casablanca. Thanks Girls, you're gonna love Fallout.

Jason Chirevas

Maybe watch movies for the first time on your own? Or maybe start your own reaction channel? Someone guessing or speculating on a plot point or twist isn’t a spoiler if they happen to be correct. Carly is watching the movies for the first time too. That her thought process and method of engagement while watching differs from your wife’s is not something to be corrected or criticized. Some of the stuff people bust out here is truly special…

John Cranberry

There was no infamous running scene in this installment. Anyone else notice that?

WastedPo

Maybe not an extended one. But at the very beginning when Cruise comes running into frame, I feel like that was almost a wink at the audience.

Em McG

Okay hold on, to be fair the first one wasn't any good. They bought the franchise but then they threw out the premise in the first movie so basically they just paid for the theme song. After that they got better somewhere along the way.
