I had no idea that Cruise was producer on these movies! That’s very cool.
M:I-2 was like taking a stiletto to the back. I liked Face/Off a lot, and was looking forward to seeing what Woo could do with such a great FRANCHISE. Deal with it
But man it was like a dry fart. Just kind of dull. I stopped watching the FRANCHISE (…FRANCHISE) after that. But this article is making me want to dig back in. I never finished 3, but I’ve seen that Phillip Seymour Hoffman scene where he almost gets dumped out of the airplane a zillion times. This article has clinched it - marathon time. This is what I’m doing for the next couple of months.
In my opinion, 2 is the only one that's really bad. Parts 7 and 8 are kind of unnecessary, but not terrible. Reasonable arguments can be made for 4, 5, or 6 being the best.
You couldn't tell Cruise was a producer on these movies...? Whatever you wanna say about Cruise, he ain't shy. Don't they all start the credits with A TOM CRUISE FILM or something similar?
