Tom Cruise to take on Mission Impossible 4
Tom Cruise has accepted the mission, and as always, should this film fail or be killed, the audience will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
Maybe not, since it seems that Cruise is taking that happy trail back to the action flicks we love him for, and is proving to be less looney toons that we thought he was. But it has now been anounced that Cruise will return to Mission Impossible after his similiarily themed Knight and Day.
The Flickcast tells us:
Tom Cruise has announced that he’s returning to the Mission Impossible franchise for a fourth film.Cruise and J.J. Abrams — who co-wrote the “Mission: Impossible III” screenplay — will produce from a screenplay by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec
I did like the first Mission Impossible film. It really captured the crazy impossible planning that they pulled off in the original TV series and was true to the franchise. As the series went on, MI got less and less appealing to me. I didn’t mind them, but they didnt have that same excitement.
I know its called Mission Impossible, not Mission Mostly Difficult, but I expected to see some stretching of reality and physics while still maintaining some wow factor believablity. The third was better at it, so hopefully we are headed in the right direction.
I hope this next chapter returns to some more impossible but slightly plausible action thats not so uneccessarily over the top. Oh, and Hawk needs to find some other motivation other than a girl… just sayin.
The first one was really good & the second was utter over-stylized shite with a lame story & a waste of a pretty cool Anthony Hopkins character. The third? Pretty damn good in my humble opinion. JJ did a good job with that one from story to conception & almost made me remember why Cruise was so damn likeable before all the cult bullshit (his Tropic Thunder cameo didn’t hurt either).
As long as both JJ & Cruise are both back for this installment then I’m on board too. Oh, don’t forget to bring back Ving.
I kinda liked the first one. Almost liked the second. And I FUCKING LOVED the third.
What idiot did that MI IV logo at the top there?
it’s 4 or IV, not IIII
I am that “idiot” jackass.
And I did it on purpose. It was a joke (which you might have got if you had a sense of humour or social skills)
I know how to read Roman numerals.
HAHAaahhahaha fryd.
You could even argue that its not numerals but a tally, and that the fifth one would have a line strike across.
I have a great sense of humour and found nothing comical about it. And I have a social life.
Whether it was warranted for him to call you an idiot… well that’s just unnecessary.
And in typical Rodney fashion… just sayin’
You don’t have to even find it all that funny to see that it was just a gag.
As long as it isn’t like part 2. 1 and 3 are great films in my opinion. I dig how both 1 and 3 were different takes on the spy genre and are equally exciting in different ways. One was more of a thinker with tension and the other was action with tension. If they can get another great director to continue the tradition than this will be a great film.
I got it Rod
mission impossible is like die hard and indiana jones
only the odd ones are good
Part 3 was pretty good, part 2 had the John Woo stamp all over it and was pretty much in slo-mo the whole film(laughable). Not foaming at the mouth but curious
