you think

1:43
think let's
1:47
get into
1:51
it baby.
1:54
Let's freaking
1:58
go. Wow.
2:00
Okay. A dog, how do you
2:02
feel? I feel amazing. I feel
2:04
hyped up. I feel like you got
2:06
the juice in it. Oh, I
2:08
got all the juice in me. All
2:11
72 flavors of juice running through my
2:13
veins right now. That was amazing. That
2:15
was one of the best action
2:17
movies I've ever seen in my life.
2:20
I'm with you. Yeah, Tom Cruise was
2:22
great, the entire cast was great. Phil
2:24
Seymour Hoffman, shout out to him,
2:26
that was an amazing villain role, amazing
2:29
performance. And I love the fact that
2:31
this movie, even though it's the third
2:33
one in the franchise, was still able
2:36
to find new ways to make
2:38
the stakes interesting. I feel like Jay
2:40
Jay Abrams was able to keep the
2:42
momentum of the film through the entire.
2:45
portion of the entire runtime because
2:47
there was never really a down moment.
2:49
There was never a slow part of
2:51
the movie. It just only kept ramping
2:54
up and the fact that we
2:56
started on the high of him believing
2:58
that his wife was in that chair
3:00
and that we thought that his wife
3:03
died at the top and that's
3:05
the cold open. I was like, wow,
3:07
I'm in, you son of a biscuit,
3:09
I'm here. And yeah, I am, I
3:12
am thrilled, I am. overstimulated, but
3:14
in the best way possible. I'm just,
3:16
I'm flabbergasted. Can you consider my gas
3:18
flabbered? And yeah, I got more thoughts,
3:21
but Tara, how you feeling? Oh,
3:23
man. That movie was so much fun.
3:25
We have never gotten so much Tom
3:27
Cruise running as we did in this
3:30
movie and they knew what they
3:32
were doing when they asked for that.
3:34
The one shot where he is just
3:36
running and he's like move move move
3:39
move move and it just keeps
3:41
going I mean that is like to
3:43
me that is like the strength of
3:46
like Tom Cruise and like just everything
3:48
that he does which is whackadoo wild.
3:50
I also think that he flew
3:52
off that. building dude he ran and
3:55
he jumped off that building he did
3:57
that that's freaking wild. Like it to
3:59
me you you come to the
4:01
Mission Impossible movies because of how Tom
4:04
set it up where he was like
4:06
I'm gonna do my own stunts and
4:08
he's not afraid to just reach
4:10
new limits. I mean it's just wild
4:13
like what we get to see in
4:15
this movie and also I think the
4:17
fact that It started out, I
4:19
always think this in action movies that
4:22
like, maybe there's not enough heart to
4:24
make us care for when people die
4:26
or their lives are at risk.
4:28
And I always say that Pixar does
4:31
it so well or Disney, right? They
4:33
set that up in the beginning. Somebody
4:35
dies or we get a little
4:37
bit of that juice. They don't have
4:40
to take a long time. her with
4:42
her friends, how they interact, how he
4:44
looks at her for us to
4:46
care about their relationship. You don't need
4:49
a full hour at the top to
4:51
set up a foundation. They gave us
4:53
a little bit of juice at the
4:56
top and then we're off and
4:58
we're freaking going. And what I love
5:00
about this movie is that any time
5:02
we talk about where Ving Rames is
5:05
asking about his engagement. We're moving,
5:07
we're in the middle of a mission.
5:09
And even when we're giving instructions on
5:11
something else or even if it's about
5:14
feelings like, hey, how did how
5:16
did that feel? We're putting a mic
5:18
on, we're getting ready for a mission.
5:21
And that is what I specifically love
5:23
about this movie. I know that
5:25
that is really hard. to actually get
5:27
to stand here and talk and give
5:30
us exposition. But I believe that because
5:32
of that, that's what makes this
5:34
movie so entertaining and the pacing so
5:36
well done is because every time we're
5:39
talking, we're also moving, we're on a
5:41
mission. We don't have to like,
5:43
you don't have to stand here and
5:45
talk and give us exposition is we
5:48
don't need it. What we want is
5:50
this movie. This is what we
5:52
want this all day every day we
5:54
got it you got it we did
5:57
it and yeah Jay Jay James really
5:59
did his thing with this one
6:01
I feel like this is the epitome
6:03
of a movie deserving of its title
6:06
because from the start to finish I
6:08
was like oh this feels impossible But
6:10
somehow we have defied the odds
6:12
and it's one of those films for
6:15
me where you see one of my
6:17
people love it, but to the films
6:19
that followed afterwards that we're taking
6:21
inspiration from this film and I was
6:24
like wow it's amazing how you you
6:26
we live in this world of cultural
6:28
influence and film influence and not
6:30
even realize it when you do it
6:33
was like okay that's why they did
6:35
this because of this and this specific
6:37
film works so well like the
6:39
stuff on the bridge and There's a
6:42
few other action scenes that are escaping
6:44
me at this particular moment, but the
6:46
fact that we were able to
6:48
do all of that, and it felt
6:51
so believable in spite of how heightened
6:53
it was, was incredible. And yeah, just
6:55
to go to the point that
6:57
you kind of made about the chemistry,
7:00
they didn't need an hour to set
7:02
that up. You felt it immediately. You
7:05
felt their chemistry from the jump
7:07
between him and his wife. And I
7:09
think that the beautiful thing about these
7:11
movies is that... Even though it's the
7:14
third one of the franchise, you can
7:16
just jump into this one not
7:18
having seen one and two and still
7:20
be thoroughly entertained because this isn't really
7:23
rely on your experience of those other
7:25
two ones. You like, okay, maybe
7:27
you can say like Ving Rames was
7:29
established in the first one, but yeah,
7:32
Lawrence Fishbird isn't in the first or
7:34
second one. Neither is his wife
7:36
or any of the other supporting cast,
7:38
but still it just has this immediate
7:41
energy to it where you care immediately
7:43
off the bat about him. his
7:45
wife his mission because they threw you
7:47
into this search this situation in which
7:50
you have so many questions and even
7:52
though you know the movies going
7:54
there You're still concerned for his life
7:56
in wondering how he's going to get
7:59
out of it, which is just the
8:01
tell of a great film and
8:03
a great filmmaker by having scenes that
8:05
not only raised the stakes, not only
8:08
have great action, but are able to
8:10
infuse character and story into that
8:12
action all at the same time, all
8:14
simultaneously. And I think that's like A1,
8:17
that's master class right there. And I
8:19
just, I'm. blown away. I'm still
8:21
blown away. And apparently these movies only
8:23
get better, which blows my mind because
8:26
that was one of the best movies
8:28
ever seen. Yeah, agreed. Man. And here's
8:30
the thing. Here's how many stunts
8:32
kind of like scenes we went through.
8:35
Any other, I think, normal action movie,
8:37
they had the fortunate blessing that they
8:39
have Tom Cruise and they have
8:42
two successful Mission Impossibles prior to this.
8:44
So their budget. here you go how
8:46
much money do you want and it's
8:49
probably given to them which is
8:51
why they were able to make a
8:53
movie that we all want to see
8:55
right off the bat when we get
8:58
to that building they talk about
9:00
it for two seconds then we're there
9:02
we're in it the guns on top
9:04
of the freaking car we're already at
9:07
what we would think would be
9:09
an escalation for the end of a
9:11
film right and then skip to also
9:13
that the the the the freaking helicopter
9:16
and it blows through that fire
9:18
And then also we're on the freeway,
9:20
the hole in there, the helicopter flying
9:22
through the freaking windmills. I mean, like
9:25
that was why, that was like,
9:27
they're so close, it's such a dangerous.
9:29
dangerous stunt the missile seeking and then
9:31
we're on the freeway you know they
9:34
break out Philip Seymour Hoffman that also
9:36
seems like an escalation that the
9:38
that we would have at the end
9:40
of a movie right and we're not
9:43
even there yet we're in the middle
9:45
and we're just like already so
9:47
invested but you've already hit it like
9:49
the on the action that we want
9:52
when we come to this movie we
9:54
have already gotten it through a
9:56
good three-force of it which is amazing
9:58
And I feel like the flip where
10:01
we all were like, oh, of course,
10:03
it cannot be Billy crude up,
10:05
right? Because he allowed Tommy Cruz
10:07
to break out in the elevator.
10:10
We're like, he's on our side.
10:12
Well, he's the one who brought
10:14
him into the first place. I
10:16
know, right? And then like, how
10:18
smart is it that he tells
10:20
him where to go? And from
10:22
the audience's perspective. we have already
10:24
set it up by having Kerry
10:26
Russell go it's it's it's it's
10:28
Lawrence right with his picture I'm
10:30
really it's freaking Lawrence and you
10:32
know Billy's giving him all this
10:34
information and if from the audience's
10:36
perspective we are we're like yes
10:38
Billy he's like malling 1406 and
10:40
here it is and here's this
10:42
thing to break you out and
10:44
we are so on his side
10:46
and it's so exciting and it's so
10:49
exciting and then that flip happens to
10:51
where you're like what you have to
10:53
do sadly with And I believe that
10:55
this is probably pulling from something
10:58
very real. I hope that it
11:00
doesn't have to do with someone
11:02
as bad as Philip being a
11:04
trafficker, a human trafficker, selling information
11:06
to another country. They only said
11:09
that once, I think if they
11:11
kept saying it, it would just,
11:13
it's a little too like, oh
11:15
God, like we gotta work with
11:17
this guy, otherwise three other traffickers
11:20
pop up. And you know, Billy
11:22
crude up in the end. His
11:24
argument is saying we get as close as
11:26
we get to that target and then
11:28
we're gonna blow it up. And then
11:31
what the US does is clean it
11:33
up. The argument at the end, none
11:35
of this movie was ever like, doesn't
11:38
make sense. It was all made sense
11:40
even with the flips and the turns
11:42
and the fact that when we thought
11:45
it was his wife in the chair
11:47
getting shot it was really just Philip
11:49
Seymour Hoffman's assistant right that
11:51
he had fired and so that would
11:54
make sense is like they put that
11:56
mask on her taper up and it's
11:58
like she is a viable option
12:00
for us to use and unfortunately
12:03
she's the one that you know
12:05
died so that sucks but I
12:07
feel like from beginning to end
12:09
in giving us all of this
12:11
and setting up the relationship the
12:13
one thing that I thought that
12:16
they did a really good job
12:18
of towards the end she was
12:20
asking so many questions his wife
12:22
I hate that I hate it
12:24
when I see it in a
12:26
script I'm not gonna play that
12:28
I don't want her to ask
12:31
them questions it's gonna be one
12:33
question because she's smart enough to
12:35
just defer. I see what's going
12:37
on. We don't have time for
12:39
this. I don't have. We don't
12:41
have time for you to be
12:43
like, why are we here? What
12:46
are you doing? How do you
12:48
know how to use a gun?
12:50
No. I didn't enjoy all of
12:52
those questions. But what I did
12:54
enjoy is they made it up.
12:56
for the lack thereof in her
12:58
character that I kind of saw
13:01
that we both were like we
13:03
don't have time for these questions
13:05
like stop writing her like a
13:07
girl who's like why how do
13:09
you know like I hate that
13:11
and she didn't play that I
13:14
absolutely cannot stand that in any
13:16
freaking script I'm like please just
13:18
don't and they really they made
13:20
up for it and I liked
13:22
that when he got up and
13:24
he's like you did that you
13:26
know and he's looking at at
13:29
crude dead on the ground and
13:31
we have the rabbitsits foot there
13:33
and he's like wow You know,
13:35
he taught her well, she did
13:37
it, she brought him back. I
13:39
thought, wow, what a great ending.
13:41
Truly. Like so happy that we,
13:44
and with them, the whole team
13:46
in the background being like, yeah,
13:48
you know, and them walking off
13:50
holding hands together, and it's just
13:52
something that we haven't gotten to
13:54
see specifically for Ethan Hunt before.
13:57
And we feel that. Spring's here,

15:10
the beginning. We feel the love
15:12
between them from the beginning and
15:14
we root for them when they've
15:16
overcome the odds at the end.
15:18
And I think that's that's amazing.
15:20
Yeah, the movie did a lot
15:22
of really great stuff. I liked
15:25
even going back to the beginning
15:27
of the movie and how they
15:29
set that up. I thought that
15:31
was really intense, but also even
15:33
like a little bit further along
15:35
how they established not only What
15:38
happens at the end with the
15:40
chip but establishing that the stakes
15:42
are real because they had the
15:44
balls to kill Kerry Russell's character
15:46
in such a gruesome in your
15:48
face kind of fashion and Yeah,
15:50
that was that was all wild,
15:53
but the fact that they did
15:55
that Show that they're they're not
15:57
messing around but also the fact
15:59
that the script is super smart
16:01
because they took things from to
16:03
and made them better like the
16:05
fact that we had the mask
16:08
thing come back the fact that
16:10
we had the person who was
16:12
kidnapped wearing the mask and it
16:14
was a in service of helping
16:16
Ethan because White and two was
16:18
like the blonde dude looked like
16:20
Ethan but then he was really
16:23
Ethan the behind him and he
16:25
looked at the mask off and
16:27
the kind of did a reversal
16:29
of that was making the girl
16:31
who was his girlfriend. Yeah, and
16:33
I was like, okay, this is
16:36
how you do this is how
16:38
you utilize something that was a
16:40
little goofy in the last friend
16:42
last movie and make it work
16:44
in this movie. Also the boarding
16:46
cast was entirely great as well.
16:48
I like the fact that we
16:51
are able to have these characters
16:53
have this ensemble not necessarily need
16:55
to go super deep into everybody,
16:57
but give us just enough about
16:59
their relationship with Ethan to know
17:01
that we mess with them. Give
17:03
us just enough with his wife
17:06
to know that their bond is
17:08
real. Give us just enough of
17:10
the plot to really care, because
17:12
I'm a person who is of
17:14
character, who loves to deep dive
17:16
into characters, love arts, love, you
17:19
know, cerebral type of stuff, but
17:21
I think the fact that we're
17:23
able to get action coupled with
17:25
just enough to really ground us
17:27
in. the people that were following
17:29
is amazing and this is the
17:31
perfect balance of yeah that character
17:34
that plot and that action all
17:36
come together in like a beautiful
17:38
I don't know juggled kind of
17:40
way. Yeah and they also do
17:42
a really good job of showing
17:44
the team as like family because
17:46
they show up at 1406 and
17:49
they're like we heard we're here
17:51
for you. which makes it great
17:53
to have them like, you know,
17:55
cheering off in the background. What
17:57
I do think, and I hope
17:59
for the next ones, what I
18:01
assume from this movie, because it
18:04
was so amazing, and Simon Peg
18:06
is that levity. Anytime he delivers
18:08
a line, he just knows comedy.
18:10
He knows how to make it
18:12
grounded, but also deliver. so that
18:14
you can have sort of a
18:17
giggle there that I assume that
18:19
the audience would be give us
18:21
more Simon Pegg even though I
18:23
I don't think we needed more
18:25
of him in this movie I
18:27
think this movie is like perfect
18:29
yeah but I think in in
18:32
thinking of it and if you
18:34
see Simon in this you would
18:36
go oh damn like is there
18:38
a way that we can incorporate
18:40
him more into this because he's
18:42
such a vibrant sort of comedic
18:44
energy that I think hits off
18:47
so well between him and Tom
18:49
Cruise I love it so I'm
18:51
excited to see what the future
18:53
holds especially if he has some
18:55
some callbacks yeah all right so
18:57
I've rotten tomatoes pulled that okay
19:00
on 2006 so no that's a
19:02
while ago okay I'll make a
19:04
guess critics yeah I'm gonna say
19:06
I hope they're not idiots. I'm
19:08
going to say 89. An audience,
19:10
I'm going to say 94. Critics.
19:12
202 reviews. 71%. Okay. What is
19:15
the audience? Is it only like
19:17
85 or something? What is it?
19:19
69%. That's crazy. That's wild. Are
19:21
you guys insane? What are you
19:23
guys doing? Did you fall asleep
19:25
into your popcorn? Like what are
19:27
you talking about? This movie is
19:30
freaking great! What? Look at that.
19:32
It's crazy. It literally goes from
19:34
10 minutes with his wife to
19:36
action, action, action, action. What? What
19:38
do you people want? I don't
19:40
even know. I don't know who
19:42
they were there was so much
19:45
harsher back then 2006. I don't
19:47
believeable. I don't want to know
19:49
you if you were if you
19:51
were in the theater you saw
19:53
this and you came out of
19:55
the theater and you were like
19:58
60% I didn't like it. Why?
20:00
Okay, so there's six years
20:02
between Mission Possible 1 and Mission
20:04
Possible 2 and if I remember
20:06
correctly Mission Possible 4 is 2011. Okay,
20:10
so this is another five years.
20:12
Yeah. Okay, wow.
20:15
That's, that, wow, that
20:17
like messed me up. I
20:20
don't know, okay,
20:22
fine, fine, whatever. I guess
20:24
I like bad movies, but
20:27
it's a great film. It's
20:29
like, those people are idiots. JJ
20:33
Abrams, I think he did
20:35
an amazing job. Truly.
20:38
That score does not reflect
20:40
the film making that happened here
20:42
and or the direction for
20:44
every actor in this. Like, I
20:46
believe that Philip Seymour Hoffman's
20:49
just throwing it, you know, throwing
20:51
it away just being like, if
20:53
you don't do it, I'm going to kill
20:56
her. Like, it's not, if you don't
20:58
do it, I'm going to kill her. No,
21:00
very matter of fact is like, It's
21:02
perfect. Casual, yeah. It's perfect. It's literally
21:04
such a great film that
21:06
I just think that anyone who
21:08
rated that, that low, you
21:10
don't watch films or something. Like, oh, go
21:13
away. You should be grounded. You
21:15
should be grounded. You should be grounded and taught
21:17
a lesson and like, you have to like
21:19
watch crappy films and then you'll come back
21:21
to this one and say this one's great. Critics
21:23
of You haven't seen enough. Go to your
21:26
room. Exactly. Go to your room and think
21:28
about what you've done. Over it. See. Done
21:30
with you. Out of here. Come
21:32
back when you've got some sense. Exactly.
21:34
Hopefully they got some sense with
21:36
four. I hope so. Like, those
21:38
ratings better come up because obviously
21:40
I'm a little heated. I'm a
21:42
little ticked right now. So
21:44
you guys let us know what you think
21:46
in the comments. Leave a like on this
21:48
video because this movie is freaking amazing. Leave
21:51
a comment if you agree with those critics
21:53
or if you think that that's a bunch
21:55
of BS and the rate, the score should
21:57
be a lot higher. Also,

accept it again? We don't pressure
22:33

22:35

22:40
dangerous one. It's gonna self-destruct in

the time you see this it'll
22:47
probably have already self-destruct

23:19
fact, why don't you get a little closer?
23:21
If you're... Can you hear? Turn the volume
23:24
up. Sometimes on Zoom it doesn't quite work.
23:26
But don't turn up too high so other
23:28
people can see it. We just need to
23:30
spit it out. Steal the plan. We just
23:32
need to spit it out right now. You
23:34
need to kill... Oh my God. Wait. Is
23:37
timer broken? No. Oh no.
