First 4 mission impossible movies. Pretty perfect action. Some effects and style etc dated now but overall great. Unbelievable scenarios done in a believable way. Unlike some other action movies the whole cast of characters actually matter, contribute to the story and aren't just there so it looks like the star has friends/ just there to be saved over and over.
First M:I was legendary. DePalma knocked it out of the park.
Some of the Woo action in 2 and JJ’s foibles in 3 make them hard to compare for me.
Just my two cents, though.
Fallout was maybe the 2nd best M:I movie in my mind, even though it hardly resembles the initial trilogy. It has a lot of moments that remind me of True Lies / Cameron style action, which I consider peak entertainment.
I heard they made Vanessa Kirby’s character related to Max from the DePalma M:I after the initial shoot, which is an amazing fix, and it came out better than I think even they were expecting.
