That bike jump was insane!!! The action was incredible and didn't let up. Another banger by Tom Cruise and the crew. What was your reaction? Did we miss anything?

Saw it in the theater and really enjoyed it. Really odd that it's no longer going to be considered part 1 of 2 because it definitely feels like part 1 of a story. However it didn't end on a cliffhanger which was a smart move.
The scene of the locomotive falling down the ravine was real, you can see amateur recordings of how they recorded that scene on TH-cam, even some cars were also thrown into that cliff, the rest of that scene with the other cars falling, is a mixture of CGI with real elements.
Fun fact. Ilsa had to wear an eye patch when looking down her rifle scope because in real life she is unable to only close one eye. It's a rare problem some people have where they can only close both eyes at once and not just one. Which worked out well because it made her look even more badass. That said long before our technology came along, soldiers would sometimes wear a patch at night so they would have one eye that would be used to dark and one used to light. Now we have nightvision and other things so patches aren't used.
"Unable to only close one eye" = can't wink And when you think about it, it wouldn't really matter, cause the other closed eye would be hidden by the scope anyway.
I have that too. When I was younger , I used to think it was connected to fact I have a lazy eye in the same eye I can't close, but obviously got older & learned they have no correlation so I just began to associate w other genetic abilities like ppl that can roll/ curl their tongues & u either can or can't do that one too. Learned that back in med school. There's several others too.
The underlying beat to the Mission Impossible theme is Morse Code for the letters MI, Dash dash = M, dot dot = I. Dash dash dot dot is the theme. The original composer wrote it that way for the TV show.
Fun fact. The White Widow is the arms dealer's daughter from the first movie, Max. That's why Kittridge talked about having made a deal with her mother to keep her from dying in prison. This was also hinted at in the 6th movie when the Widow talks about Max in the club where Tom first met her.
If you look at some of the White Widow's mannerisms, like one or two times when she squints her eyes and crinkles her face playfully in M:I 6, they mimic some of the mannerisms of Vanessa Redgrave as Max in the first film. It's a nice touch.
For Dave... the train cars kept falling because as one would go, it was dragging the car behind it to the edge, and you can see the bridge crumbling further under the weight and movement, so it would crumble out from under the wheel trucks of the next car which would start dragging over the edge and down etc. It is a little weak but they did give a reasonably plausible explanation.
So for the cliff jump, the ONLY thing that is digital is the rise in the mountain. They added that in where the ramp was that he made the jump from. So the ground he's driving on and that rise are digital. Other than that, he really drove at high speed right off that mountain, on a real bike, with a real parachute, with zero wires or safety harness or nets. The behind the scenes video they did is extremely awesome. Shows how he practiced for it and how they set up for the shoot of it. The fight on top of the train, was also shot for real on a train moving at speed. They had to build the train themselves for this movie as no one would let them destroy theirs. :D The locomotive going into the gorge, also shot for real with a real train. However they did it into a quarry in England and then replaced the landscape with digital. The water splash is real though from water in the bottom of the quarry. When someone says "No CGI" it really means, invisible CGI. Even Top Gun Maverick used a MASSIVE amount of cgi, including the planes. So they'll really wreck a real train, really do a HALO jump, really jump off a mountain, but use CGI to remove, replace, hide, etc.
I know it's not the highest regarded, but these gents should watch Knight & Day while we all wait for M:I 8. That movie intentionally poked fun at the notion of Tom Cruise as the super spy, and overall it's a fun albeit silly ride, and clearly Tom is having a lot of fun in it while also delivering at his highest as usual. The humorous moments in this movie directly made me think of that, as it is a bonafide action-romantic-comedy. Plus it's a James Mangold film, so, that may give it some extra merit for some too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this moive in theaters - Actually seeing Pom Klemetieff in this franchise was a nice twist. Hated losing Ilsa - that broke my heart!
I hated that too. I know Ethan Hunt is the main charakter but I only decided to watch the movie in cinema because of her other wise I would have waited untill it is released on DVD. Since I don't like Tom Cruise this was the first MI movie I watched in cinema.
Finally! I think this is the first Mission Impossible/Tom Cryise movie where you guys didn’t say “did he really do that stunt?!” You guys have finally learned and even prepared yourselves ahead of time on the amazing “stunts” performed! Keep up the awesome reactions!! 👍👍
For the eye-patch: Holding one eye closed for an extended period of time can lead to muscle fatigue/discomfort and they did make a point of showing her fighting sleep which could be a contributing factor. I've experienced it while out reducing the woodchuck population but never at the range. I never brought binoculars so there was a lot of time spent looking through the scope. Also, not forcing one eye closed allows you to be a bit more relaxed/focused while using a scope. It's one less distraction.
This movie was great. The cast was great & coming out a week B4 Barbie & Oppenheimer hurt its box office numbers. IMO it should've came close to a billion.
59:34 i thought the train scene was genuinely cgi, then I found out that they built a fully working train to destroy & they were actually fighting at 60mph on the train & it still blows my mind to know that
Oak is correct about how the AI works. Though it doesn't compute exactly what he WILL do. As Luther tells Ethan, it sees A possible future in which you win. The AI can run quadrillions of calculations per second, following each branching possibility, and knowing as much as it does about his past, predict the more likely ones and then throw roadblocks in his way to bend his course. And as each encounter happens, it updates its model of Ethan and recomputes the branching probability tree. And with each encounter it was seeing an increasingly probability that Ethan kills it. The AI was able to very correctly predict that he would very likely give away the completed key, so it set the trap at the airport to get it there... but Grace getting in the way added some unpredictability. It's not that the AI knows what will happen, it's that it is extremely rapid thinking and can use VAST resources to analyze people and learn from them real time.
i dont get why people think this isnt the best one yet(becuase it is) my only problem with it is the thing that makes it great, Constant high level action, movie quickly redefines what normal for it means, i remember seeing it second time i actually asked myself at the end why there was no high level action moments and it took me a second to realize the whole movie is at that level
Fun fact, this movie was originally 3 and a half hours long. And test screen audiences that got to see it had nothing but rave reviews for it! Chris McQuarrie said that it will probably see the light of day, and that this version is the best version of the film. Makes me excited to see what’s to come in part 2. Rumor has it Tom does a stunt in it where he jumps from one plane to another. There’s footage of him setting up for a stunt where he’s standing on a propeller plane. It’s in the video where he’s introducing top gun Maverick to the audience at cinemacon. Also they said that the only thing that was left to film of part 2 before the strikes happened was the big stunt for part 2, something McQ said is the craziest and most dangerous stunt Tom had ever done and it’s the most nervous he’s been for one of his stunts.
You mentioned Top Gun: Maverick and I know you all saw it in theaters but I think it would be cool for you guys to do a reaction and rewatch it in the studio. That movie gave me one of the best theater experiences I’ve ever had and I’m sure a lot of us wouldn’t mind rewatching along with you guys.
@@BaddMedicine I think what sets you guys apart from other channels for me is the genuine enthusiasm and open mind you bring up literally every reaction. I'm constantly surprised by your takes and it's refreshing. Thanks for the content this year and can't wait for 2024
Many didn't like the AI end of it because the AI felt to perfect. I think people forget how fast computers can do things. And given this was sentient AI, it means it could actual plot and have motives. It could think of every scenario possible.
Yeah, there was a very different tone to it, but it was extremely relevant to exactly right now, which made it feel very much more threatening. With AI taking off so rapidly this year... which is crazy because they wrote this story pre-pandemic.
The train scenes were real too! There is a behind the scenes video of that too! And my other favourite fact: Pom did an interview where she said that Tom didn't do one of his stunts. Where he had to kick Pom, he said, that he needs a stuntman for that, he cannot hit a woman. And he cannot event act to do it. Awesome movie, can't wait for the next one.
The action and the intensity of this movie were on another level...All the cast did a great job and the chase scene was so funny :) Can't wait for part two!
I remember watching this and the behind the scenes and tom did all his stunt's himself once again from the sky dive with the motorcycle to the car scenes!! I remember the character Grace actress Hayley Atwell said it took everything to keep up with tom and she's half his age!! And they pushed part 2 back from June 28th 2024 to now May 23rd 2025!! So we will be waiting a while.
Sooooo excited for this!! I couldn't watch this in theaters for health reasons so nice surprise my oldest got it for me for Christmas. I told him bout ur channel & we watched it last night before he left to go back home cause I made it my Christmas mission lol to have it watched before my dudes from Badd Medicine posted their reaction. Plus I didn't wanna watch any other reactors before u guys cause ur so genuinely into these movies so I know I'm few hrs late after suffering from holiday sugar overload & exhaustion, but finally awake enough to enjoy so LET'S GOOOOOOOO!! ❤💞❤️
I think its safe to say that mission impossible is better than bond, and this is coming from someone that preferred the bond franchise almost my entire life. MI is far more consistent, always delivering a good entertaining story and honestly doing the same movie over and over in very interesting ways that the bond series loses itself when trying to retcon or do something new. Its ironic.
There is a point that this series would not exist without Bond, with even a number of scenarios directly taken from Bond films. Also not always compatible since older Bond films like From Russia With Love are nothing like any of the MI movies. BUT the later MI films really are some of the best action films of the era and I absolutely find these way more consistent than the Craig era Bond movies. Tom Cruise being the "last movie star" as some say also helps. His insistence on real stunts help keep them timeless and also it's just good eyecandy.
I streamed this last night just so I could re-watch today with you guys, cos I've loved your MI reactions and appreciation of the franchise. For me, this definitely had the best narrative with multiple layers and call-backs and the intensity of Ethan and Ilsa re-uniting just to be torn apart. For me, aside from the action - alleyway fight, handcuffed driving SUPREME - one of my fave moments was Luther's pep talk ahead of the train scene. The notion of going against an enemy that has already considered every probable and incredible action sent chills and I really think it highlighted Luther's incredible strategic intellect in a way the other movies hadn't. And as a Brit - Simon Pegg can do no wrong - You guys should deff check the sitcom/drama/sci-fi referential series - SPACED. He co-wrote it and it's what really launched him and led to The Cornetto Trilogy.
I rewatched the entire franchise to catch your reaction. MIs are so good it's underrated. Now that you have to wait. Let's see The Appleton Oak watching Bourne. Ultimatum was my favorite spy film before MI6.
Using the eye patch you are not going to use eye muscle , and you going to use the main eye to concentrate in getting your kill or kills , it saves using eye muscle on the one that you are closing.
@@John_Locke_108 that was not the question many snipers do use the eye patch . you are able to concentrate better without controlling the other eye to stay shut . I have used it myself and you find it more comfortable.
Using an eye patch helps in not using unnecessary muscles to keep one eye closed. Which helps in keeping the other eye more relaxed while looking. Its the same when having your eye sight checked, and they tell you to place your hand over one eye, instead of closing it by force.
I know the eyepatch is because rebecca fergusson cant wink/close one eye but honestly it looks so badass. Rip Ilsa im hoping it was a fakeout to have someone the entity cant search for (if it thinks shes dead) and she turns up in part 2 🥲 I can dream!
Russian captain at the begining is played by polish actor Marcin Dorociński (also in The Queen's Gambit and Vikings: Valhalla). Well known and popular actor in Poland.
So Part 2 is the only movie in the franchise where you will finally feel the anxiety that Ethan Hunt can become fatally wounded from one of the stunts and perish in the final scene of the movie.
Something I've been saying a lot is how fitting the title is for this installment. The AI makes it so that the fancy gadgets that have become part of the series can no longer be trusted. They are literally having to navigate this mission via "dead reckoning", no tools no computers no tracking. I saw some complaints the title wasn't fitting but I thought it was the most fitting of them all.
the blonde woman in this film named 'Paris' is in real life named pom and she was Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy and has an extended background of martial arts and action films
LMFAO this is your best thumbnail ever, a work of art!!!!! 😂😂😂 👌👌 (I haven't started watching your MI reactions, I myself have been catching up on those movies recently, but I just had to leave a comment about the thumbnail 😄)
A lot of this movie is filmed close to where I live (the train sequences, the cliff jump, etc), same with the last movie's climax at the top of the mountain, so it's cool seeing you reacting to this!
I remember back in 2019 when Paramount, Skydance and Cruise himself announced back to back sequels:part 7 for 2021 and part 8 for 2022. The pandemic pushing back everything. Production on Part 1 wrapping up, the first trailer dropping and announcing the beginning of the end to the franchise was exciting. This was definitely worth the admission. Brilliant story, even better cast and plenty of shockers. These action sequences are all incredible and steady keep you on the edge. Well constructed for Cruise to do his thing and other actors getting into the action as well. Henry Czerny returning as Eugene Kittridge (ex-IMF director/now-director CIA director) was a nice addition and ever since M:I-1, he realizes that Hunt as an leader can still get things done. I did see this on IMAX and enjoyed every minute. This was one of the better films out among many failing blockbusters. The 8th film with a different title (not DR part 2) was hallway through filming when the actors' strike started. Now that it's over, they've pushed the release date to 2025. Another long wait (perhaps) and it'll be worth it like the last one. Loved the callbacks to the first film: 1. Bravo Echo One One is Ethan Hunt's Identification Code. First heard after he lost his team in Prague. 2. Sleight of hand with the keys pieces. Ethan did that with The NOC List. 3. Luther being referred to as 'The Net Ranger & 'Phineas Freak'. His known aliases as an tech genius prior to meeting Ethan and planning The NOC List heist.
If you guys are interested in watching a movie with an evil AI, you should watch Eagle Eye with Shia LeBeouf. Slightly outdated tech now cause it was made in 2008 but still a a great movie that holds up today.
So the jump scene with the bike was both real and fake. He jump off a cliff, however the cliff he rides up to jump off was fake. It was a wooden ramp to get him more height and they simply CGIed over it to look like a higher cliff. Other then that he really did jump off. :)
If only more people went to see the movie in theatres instead of buying it or renting it on OTT. The initial contribution matters now more than ever. The movie was a success but still it suffered a great loss in theatres. It should have, could have & deserved to earn a lot more in theatres.
Great stuff, guys - although I thought the car chase was hilarious, too - this was defo proper comedy! - although I think the Oak wasn't laughing when Mason worked out Ethan was coming through the window and chose to share... :)
Always great fun watching along with you guys! Another brilliant video, one little tidbit, a few people seem to miss that Vanessa Kirby's character 'the white Widow' is Max from the first films daughter. The dealer with the NOC List. Thats the history Kittridge has with her family
Love your reactions, guys, great job! This is, by far, my favorite MI movie to date. As you said, the action was relentless, the story was well-written, and the cast and acting were top-notch. Tom Cruise is just getting better with age. I can't wait for Part 2 to hit the theaters.
I think Jasper’s personal problems with Ethan have something to do with the woman that was killed, just a theory. And he will probably die in the second movie saving Ethan. But also I hope his partner, Degas, joins the IMF-he seems to be pretty intelligent/skilled. Maybe Ethan takes him under his wing and trains him.
39:30 just rewatch, and I gotta say I love how Ethan is basically grasping at straws here, asking to Zola to go against Alanna's word and kill Gabriel on the spot, and Zola being so worried about the situation painted in front of him, that he even went for his gun while looking at Gabriel before stopping himself. Love the small details that paint the characters in all the different shades.
> not often you see horses laying down in movies Technically, every time a horse falls down in a movie these days, they're laying down. They're trained for that. Unless it's an obvious CGI fall, like when a horse falls really badly which would be dangerous for a real horse. Back in the day, before the 70s or so, horses were just tripwired and then after shooting the scene they were killed because broken legs are basically a death sentence for a horse. Have fun watching Ben Hur again.
I've not read all the comments to see if it has been mentioned... The motorcycle jump was totally B.A. that's a given. However, all the reviews keep saying that it has never been done before. This is not quite true. Back in the 90s Travis Pastrana and the X-Games guys before Nitro Circus was formed were jumping into the Grand Canyon. Granted, Dead Reckoning does has Hollywood money for GoPros and drones to get better shots, I'm just saying it wasn't the first of its kind. Still totally B.A. movie with all the other stunts. I do love ma a Mission Impossible movie and hate that we will be waiting until 2025.
One of my favorite MI films! As a set up for Part 2, this movie was awesome. The pay off in the next one will either make this movie A++ or a disappointing letdown. (I suspect it will be an A+++!)
Fun fact: Tom and Hayley were dating during the filming. It was alot of rumors about that. And Hayley basically "revealed" it when she said Tom took her grandmother for a helicopter ride on christmas eve. But it did not work out, but Tom is professional and they remained friends. He was last rumored to date a Russian socialite in London but that is reported to also have ended now. He lives in London and is in some "high society" circle where there are probably alot of women to pick from. I hope he finds someone. He should never have left Nicole Kidman, they seemed like soulmates. But then he was dragged back into Scientology again in around 2000. (He was not active in mid and late 90s). And he left Nicole when she lost the baby (she was pregnant) and he was filming Vanilla Sky and got into a relationship with Penelope Cruz. And they dated until 2004. But Scientology wasnt happy with her either. Scientology made him feel like a king at exactly the moment he needed it.
45:04, She really is though. Felt like they never gave a good reason why she would always run away and back stab Ethan. Like the first time OK, and even the next time. But after he's saved her multiple times showing his sincerity and she found out that it could literally destroy the world and she wasn't gonna get a bunch of money for it, why back stab him then? It just seemed like a "she does this cause the plot needs her to" kinda thing.
Yeah, I agree with Dave, the jump cuts which didn’t show Ethan escape the Fiat from the Subway train and the other one not showing Pom, Ethan and Hayley escaping the falling train annoyed me too, but definitely a well made film and still like TG: Maverick better.
The guy in the corner definitely watch the movie before, it wasn’t his first time. How in the world would u guess that he was passing a mask to the other guy at the beginning.
Is Ethan Hunt going to be in the new Avengers since he can somehow smash through a side of a train with nothing but a parachute and also be totally fine lol. That deus ex machina to save Grace was like my main nit pick but ignoring that, this was pretty good. Also agree with Diamond Dave where twice they just cut to them being suddenly safe at the end of the train carriage scene and Ethan not getting hit by the train in the yellow car, was a bit weird. Am a bit concerned this story is just getting a bit stretched out with some scenes to fit 2 movies but still pretty enjoyable as an action movie. Just enjoying a Tom Cruise action movie while we have them. This one was probably a 7/10 for me which is still decent
Some gun shooters use an eye patch because, I'm told, instead of squinting one eye closed...you can relax and breathe and focus on the shot more. A good eye patch can block all light so, it's the same as closing your eye w/o having to concentrate on doing so.
could you imagine tom on a wheelchair, paralized from a stunt, saying he now realizes how precious life is and that all cinema is a bunch of idiocy? thats an interview id watch!
Tom cruise is a tough competition to Rocky Bhai (KGF) when it comes to Wardrobe. BTW, I found the complete meaning of the movie now as I missed few details while watching it in theatre. Director claimed that part 2 will have even more intense action sequences. Fingers crossed 🤞
That bike jump was insane!!! The action was incredible and didn't let up. Another banger by Tom Cruise and the crew. What was your reaction? Did we miss anything?

Got a question for you guys could you react to a show called regular show? I’m curious to see what you think of it.

If I'm not mistaken his blue suit is a Brioni. That's what it looks like to me, anyway.

I love when a fun fact is in fact, a fun fact. Thank you!
Trait, not problem
I have that too.
The underlying beat to the Mission Impossible theme is Morse Code for the letters MI, Dash dash = M, dot dot = I. Dash dash dot dot is the theme. The original composer wrote it that way for the TV show.
Never knew that. Thank you for this.
That's cool. I watched alot of bts and vids like that , but must have missed that one. Thank u for sharing w everyone.
Mind blown. wow.
That's cool.
I was in a packed theatre and everyone was cheering during every action scenes but when that cliff jumping scene can everyone was silent.
Same experience
Fun fact. The White Widow is the arms dealer's daughter from the first movie, Max. That's why Kittridge talked about having made a deal with her mother to keep her from dying in prison. This was also hinted at in the 6th movie when the Widow talks about Max in the club where Tom first met her.
Thats what i was wondering, its the same woman kittridge arrested at the end of the first film right ??

Also the chemistry between Tom and Cameron ❤
Tom is the guy
Liking this so they see it
And then they can watch the official Indian remake, Bang Bang
I thoroughly enjoyed this moive in theaters - Actually seeing Pom Klemetieff in this franchise was a nice twist. Hated losing Ilsa - that broke my heart!
Bummer we lost Ilsa.
Gabriel - "I was hoping it'd be you."
Ilsa - "I have to go film Dune."
It’s 6 months since I watched it in theaters. I still miss her breaks my heart. She was my favorite. Just like jiraiya, itachi and Minato.
I hated that too. I know Ethan Hunt is the main charakter but I only decided to watch the movie in cinema because of her other wise I would have waited untill it is released on DVD. Since I don't like Tom Cruise this was the first MI movie I watched in cinema.
@@thedarkemissaryLMAO , True 😂👍
Finally! I think this is the first Mission Impossible/Tom Cryise movie where you guys didn’t say “did he really do that stunt?!” You guys have finally learned and even prepared yourselves ahead of time on the amazing “stunts” performed! Keep up the awesome reactions!! 👍👍
You guys are getting more creative with the thumbnails and I totally love it!!!
Yes really put an effort on tiny details
The White Widow's mother that was mentioned by Kittridge was Max the arms dealer contact in Mission Impossible 1.
These thumbnails always make me giggle imagining you lot getting into the most random poses 😂 Great reaction and amazing editing diamond as always 💎 🎉
Ilsa Faust was the ultimate work wife

TOM CRUISE is the Goat ..
Mission impossible is way smarter than the average action movie
i dont get why people think this isnt the best one yet(becuase it is) my only problem with it is the thing that makes it great, Constant high level action, movie quickly redefines what normal for it means, i remember seeing it second time i actually asked myself at the end why there was no high level action moments and it took me a second to realize the whole movie is at that level
Every movie in this franchise is better than the last

You mentioned Top Gun: Maverick and I know you all saw it in theaters but I think it would be cool for you guys to do a reaction and rewatch it in the studio. That movie gave me one of the best theater experiences I’ve ever had and I’m sure a lot of us wouldn’t mind rewatching along with you guys.
«Dont question it Dave, just accept it»😂😂
The tape recorder and the intel photos for the mission briefing are easter eggs to the original Mission Impossible TV series from 1966 to 1973.
I get why people thought this was lesser than the recent MI movies, but I loved it.
I can see why some wouldn't love it as much as the others. But we enjoyed it.
@@BaddMedicine I think what sets you guys apart from other channels for me is the genuine enthusiasm and open mind you bring up literally every reaction. I'm constantly surprised by your takes and it's refreshing. Thanks for the content this year and can't wait for 2024
@@joshuabarnett88 we appreciate il that and thanks for watching with us
Many didn't like the AI end of it because the AI felt to perfect. I think people forget how fast computers can do things. And given this was sentient AI, it means it could actual plot and have motives. It could think of every scenario possible.
Yeah, there was a very different tone to it, but it was extremely relevant to exactly right now, which made it feel very much more threatening. With AI taking off so rapidly this year... which is crazy because they wrote this story pre-pandemic.
The train scenes were real too! There is a behind the scenes video of that too! And my other favourite fact: Pom did an interview where she said that Tom didn't do one of his stunts. Where he had to kick Pom, he said, that he needs a stuntman for that, he cannot hit a woman. And he cannot event act to do it. Awesome movie, can't wait for the next one.
We all have to remember this was shot during Covid and Rebeca Ferguson had to do Dune
The action and the intensity of this movie were on another level...All the cast did a great job and the chase scene was so funny :) Can't wait for part two!
Massive shout out to Diamond Dave for the editing on this, incredible work and great reaction!
Much appreciated and thanks for watching with us🤜🤛
I remember watching this and the behind the scenes and tom did all his stunt's himself once again from the sky dive with the motorcycle to the car scenes!! I remember the character Grace actress Hayley Atwell said it took everything to keep up with tom and she's half his age!! And they pushed part 2 back from June 28th 2024 to now May 23rd 2025!! So we will be waiting a while.
Sooooo excited for this!! I couldn't watch this in theaters for health reasons so nice surprise my oldest got it for me for Christmas. I told him bout ur channel & we watched it last night before he left to go back home cause I made it my Christmas mission lol to have it watched before my dudes from Badd Medicine posted their reaction. Plus I didn't wanna watch any other reactors before u guys cause ur so genuinely into these movies so I know I'm few hrs late after suffering from holiday sugar overload & exhaustion, but finally awake enough to enjoy so LET'S GOOOOOOOO!! ❤💞❤️
Omg, the thumbnail! Love it 😂 enjoyed the reaction guys
I think its safe to say that mission impossible is better than bond, and this is coming from someone that preferred the bond franchise almost my entire life. MI is far more consistent, always delivering a good entertaining story and honestly doing the same movie over and over in very interesting ways that the bond series loses itself when trying to retcon or do something new. Its ironic.
There is a point that this series would not exist without Bond, with even a number of scenarios directly taken from Bond films. Also not always compatible since older Bond films like From Russia With Love are nothing like any of the MI movies. BUT the later MI films really are some of the best action films of the era and I absolutely find these way more consistent than the Craig era Bond movies.
Tom Cruise being the "last movie star" as some say also helps. His insistence on real stunts help keep them timeless and also it's just good eyecandy.
I streamed this last night just so I could re-watch today with you guys, cos I've loved your MI reactions and appreciation of the franchise. For me, this definitely had the best narrative with multiple layers and call-backs and the intensity of Ethan and Ilsa re-uniting just to be torn apart. For me, aside from the action - alleyway fight, handcuffed driving SUPREME - one of my fave moments was Luther's pep talk ahead of the train scene. The notion of going against an enemy that has already considered every probable and incredible action sent chills and I really think it highlighted Luther's incredible strategic intellect in a way the other movies hadn't. And as a Brit - Simon Pegg can do no wrong - You guys should deff check the sitcom/drama/sci-fi referential series - SPACED. He co-wrote it and it's what really launched him and led to The Cornetto Trilogy.
Your thumbnail are always so creative!
I rewatched the entire franchise to catch your reaction. MIs are so good it's underrated.
Now that you have to wait. Let's see The Appleton Oak watching Bourne.
Ultimatum was my favorite spy film before MI6.
Using the eye patch you are not going to use eye muscle , and you going to use the main eye to concentrate in getting your kill or kills , it saves using eye muscle on the one that you are closing.
Evidently the actress can't wink and that's why the did the eye patch. That's what I heard.
@@John_Locke_108Her and Kit Harrington lol
@@John_Locke_108 that was not the question many snipers do use the eye patch .
you are able to concentrate better without controlling the other eye to stay shut .
I have used it myself and you find it more comfortable.
@@XENONEOMORPH1979 I was just making conversation. Never claimed to be good at it.
Using an eye patch helps in not using unnecessary muscles to keep one eye closed. Which helps in keeping the other eye more relaxed while looking.
Its the same when having your eye sight checked, and they tell you to place your hand over one eye, instead of closing it by force.
Does everyone know the White Widow's mother was Max from the MI 1
Gabriel knows where the submarine is. That’s how Mantis knew and told Ethan.
Quite incredible how much younger she looks in this movie than in her Agent Carter role years ago. Good performance.
I know the eyepatch is because rebecca fergusson cant wink/close one eye but honestly it looks so badass. Rip Ilsa im hoping it was a fakeout to have someone the entity cant search for (if it thinks shes dead) and she turns up in part 2 🥲 I can dream!
Russian captain at the begining is played by polish actor Marcin Dorociński (also in The Queen's Gambit and Vikings: Valhalla). Well known and popular actor in Poland.
So Part 2 is the only movie in the franchise where you will finally feel the anxiety that Ethan Hunt can become fatally wounded from one of the stunts and perish in the final scene of the movie.
Something I've been saying a lot is how fitting the title is for this installment. The AI makes it so that the fancy gadgets that have become part of the series can no longer be trusted. They are literally having to navigate this mission via "dead reckoning", no tools no computers no tracking. I saw some complaints the title wasn't fitting but I thought it was the most fitting of them all.
Also I want all of Pom's and Rebecca's outfits in this. The costume designer is underappreciated.
the blonde woman in this film named 'Paris' is in real life named pom and she was Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy and has an extended background of martial arts and action films
LMFAO this is your best thumbnail ever, a work of art!!!!! 😂😂😂 👌👌 (I haven't started watching your MI reactions, I myself have been catching up on those movies recently, but I just had to leave a comment about the thumbnail 😄)
Mantis coming in clutch lol.
A lot of this movie is filmed close to where I live (the train sequences, the cliff jump, etc), same with the last movie's climax at the top of the mountain, so it's cool seeing you reacting to this!
You guys had me with that awesome Thumbnail alone!😂
Just watched this today. Brilliant film. Haylee was a highlight.
4 days late to this, but that thumbnail is a masterpiece 👌
This movie does many things it doesn’t get right. But the train scene is such an awesome scene
Pleaseeee watch knight and day, its just such a good time with good action. Tom cruise and cameron diaz are amazing together in this
Your thumbnails always crack me up 😂
I remember back in 2019 when Paramount, Skydance and Cruise himself announced back to back sequels:part 7 for 2021 and part 8 for 2022.
The pandemic pushing back everything.
Production on Part 1 wrapping up, the first trailer dropping and announcing the beginning of the end to the franchise was exciting.
This was definitely worth the admission.
Brilliant story, even better cast and plenty of shockers.
These action sequences are all incredible and steady keep you on the edge.
Well constructed for Cruise to do his thing and other actors getting into the action as well.
Henry Czerny returning as Eugene Kittridge (ex-IMF director/now-director CIA director)
was a nice addition and ever since M:I-1, he realizes that Hunt as an leader can still get things done.
I did see this on IMAX and enjoyed every minute.
This was one of the better films out among many failing blockbusters.
The 8th film with a different title (not DR part 2) was hallway through filming when the actors' strike started.
Now that it's over, they've pushed the release date to 2025.
Another long wait (perhaps) and it'll be worth it like the last one.
Loved the callbacks to the first film:
1. Bravo Echo One One is Ethan Hunt's Identification Code.
First heard after he lost his team in Prague.
2. Sleight of hand with the keys pieces.
Ethan did that with The NOC List.
3. Luther being referred to as 'The Net Ranger & 'Phineas Freak'.
His known aliases as an tech genius prior to meeting Ethan and planning The NOC List heist.
Man I can’t wait for part 2!
If you guys are interested in watching a movie with an evil AI, you should watch Eagle Eye with Shia LeBeouf. Slightly outdated tech now cause it was made in 2008 but still a a great movie that holds up today.
.."we gonna Emilio back?....no he's still stuck in that elevator" HAHAHA😅😅 that killed me dudes. New sub here, great reaction. Cheers!
So the jump scene with the bike was both real and fake. He jump off a cliff, however the cliff he rides up to jump off was fake. It was a wooden ramp to get him more height and they simply CGIed over it to look like a higher cliff. Other then that he really did jump off. :)
If only more people went to see the movie in theatres instead of buying it or renting it on OTT. The initial contribution matters now more than ever.
The movie was a success but still it suffered a great loss in theatres. It should have, could have & deserved to earn a lot more in theatres.
I think Ilsa's departure was one of the biggest blunders in Hollywood film history.
The White Widow's mom is Max from the first movie.
This movie is the best of all the mission movies.
Great stuff, guys - although I thought the car chase was hilarious, too - this was defo proper comedy! - although I think the Oak wasn't laughing when Mason worked out Ethan was coming through the window and chose to share... :)
Watch Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes next please!
Always great fun watching along with you guys! Another brilliant video, one little tidbit, a few people seem to miss that Vanessa Kirby's character 'the white Widow' is Max from the first films daughter. The dealer with the NOC List. Thats the history Kittridge has with her family
I’m not into these movies but I’ve gotta comment and show some appreciation for the thumbnail 😂
Love your reactions, guys, great job! This is, by far, my favorite MI movie to date. As you said, the action was relentless, the story was well-written, and the cast and acting were top-notch. Tom Cruise is just getting better with age. I can't wait for Part 2 to hit the theaters.
I think Jasper’s personal problems with Ethan have something to do with the woman that was killed, just a theory. And he will probably die in the second movie saving Ethan. But also I hope his partner, Degas, joins the IMF-he seems to be pretty intelligent/skilled. Maybe Ethan takes him under his wing and trains him.
39:30 just rewatch, and I gotta say I love how Ethan is basically grasping at straws here, asking to Zola to go against Alanna's word and kill Gabriel on the spot, and Zola being so worried about the situation painted in front of him, that he even went for his gun while looking at Gabriel before stopping himself. Love the small details that paint the characters in all the different shades.
> not often you see horses laying down in movies
Technically, every time a horse falls down in a movie these days, they're laying down. They're trained for that. Unless it's an obvious CGI fall, like when a horse falls really badly which would be dangerous for a real horse.
Back in the day, before the 70s or so, horses were just tripwired and then after shooting the scene they were killed because broken legs are basically a death sentence for a horse. Have fun watching Ben Hur again.
I've not read all the comments to see if it has been mentioned...
The motorcycle jump was totally B.A. that's a given. However, all the reviews keep saying that it has never been done before. This is not quite true. Back in the 90s Travis Pastrana and the X-Games guys before Nitro Circus was formed were jumping into the Grand Canyon.
Granted, Dead Reckoning does has Hollywood money for GoPros and drones to get better shots, I'm just saying it wasn't the first of its kind.
Still totally B.A. movie with all the other stunts. I do love ma a Mission Impossible movie and hate that we will be waiting until 2025.
One of my favorite MI films!
As a set up for Part 2, this movie was awesome. The pay off in the next one will either make this movie A++ or a disappointing letdown.
(I suspect it will be an A+++!)
Fun fact: Tom and Hayley were dating during the filming. It was alot of rumors about that. And Hayley basically "revealed" it when she said Tom took her grandmother for a helicopter ride on christmas eve. But it did not work out, but Tom is professional and they remained friends. He was last rumored to date a Russian socialite in London but that is reported to also have ended now. He lives in London and is in some "high society" circle where there are probably alot of women to pick from. I hope he finds someone. He should never have left Nicole Kidman, they seemed like soulmates. But then he was dragged back into Scientology again in around 2000. (He was not active in mid and late 90s). And he left Nicole when she lost the baby (she was pregnant) and he was filming Vanilla Sky and got into a relationship with Penelope Cruz. And they dated until 2004. But Scientology wasnt happy with her either. Scientology made him feel like a king at exactly the moment he needed it.
You guys should definitely watch Jack Reacher (2012) with TC. Great movie, especially if you need another Tom movie until the next Mission film.
The White Widow prequel was MI:1 lol. A lot of people miss it but she’s Max’s daughter.
bro I never noticed that subtle detail before! How clever
45:04, She really is though. Felt like they never gave a good reason why she would always run away and back stab Ethan. Like the first time OK, and even the next time. But after he's saved her multiple times showing his sincerity and she found out that it could literally destroy the world and she wasn't gonna get a bunch of money for it, why back stab him then? It just seemed like a "she does this cause the plot needs her to" kinda thing.
The ending reminds me so much of Jurassic Park 2 when they try to climb up that long buss as it slips down.
43:55 "the ol' bleak shot"
Yeah, I agree with Dave, the jump cuts which didn’t show Ethan escape the Fiat from the Subway train and the other one not showing Pom, Ethan and Hayley escaping the falling train annoyed me too, but definitely a well made film and still like TG: Maverick better.
Using that style I think to kinda make a lil comedy/joke with those stunts. Knowing we all would be like yeah right, what, lol... But yeah..... ✌️

good reaction , i suggest the show Persons Of Intrest really good show and its about a AI taking over
Elsa has an eye patch because the actress can’t close one eye when looking through the scope lmao
The guy in the corner definitely watch the movie before, it wasn’t his first time. How in the world would u guess that he was passing a mask to the other guy at the beginning.
Finally Made It At Dead Reckoning, I'm sure you guys had fun🙌
This was a fun film!
Is Ethan Hunt going to be in the new Avengers since he can somehow smash through a side of a train with nothing but a parachute and also be totally fine lol. That deus ex machina to save Grace was like my main nit pick but ignoring that, this was pretty good. Also agree with Diamond Dave where twice they just cut to them being suddenly safe at the end of the train carriage scene and Ethan not getting hit by the train in the yellow car, was a bit weird. Am a bit concerned this story is just getting a bit stretched out with some scenes to fit 2 movies but still pretty enjoyable as an action movie. Just enjoying a Tom Cruise action movie while we have them. This one was probably a 7/10 for me which is still decent
39:43 I love the John Wick reference and the way they said *”YEAH”*
Some gun shooters use an eye patch because, I'm told, instead of squinting one eye closed...you can relax and breathe and focus on the shot more. A good eye patch can block all light so, it's the same as closing your eye w/o having to concentrate on doing so.
There’s no need for a prequel. You already saw it. The White Widows mother was Max from the first film. They established that in Fallout.
Great reaction guys! So glad you guys went on the M:I journey :)
The two guys chasing Ethan: The black guy was Coyote in "Top Gun Maverick" and the white guy was Agent Carter's boss in "Agent Carter."
could you imagine tom on a wheelchair, paralized from a stunt, saying he now realizes how precious life is and that all cinema is a bunch of idiocy? thats an interview id watch!
Tom cruise is a tough competition to Rocky Bhai (KGF) when it comes to Wardrobe.
BTW, I found the complete meaning of the movie now as I missed few details while watching it in theatre. Director claimed that part 2 will have even more intense action sequences. Fingers crossed 🤞
This movie grew on me after watching it a second time
I like the thumbnail😂😂😂
The Oak triggers the insta-like for the "GPS Love"!
yes the train was real.
Haha love the thumbnail!!
