My wife watches Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol for the FIRST time 

I’ve never seen Jen laugh that hard in any of your videos before Holden’s AT&T rant. 😂

It may be a minor thing to some people, but I appreciate that Ethan’s wife is still alive and on good terms with him despite the fact that they couldn’t stay together for her safety’s sake. No manufactured drama, no off-screen death, just rational decision making on their part. And they managed to turn a predictable trope into a decent little twist.

Originally, Ving Rhames was supposed to reprise his role in the film, but a pay dispute between him and the studio prevented this and he was written out. During filming, early footage was not coming back how the studio had hoped and they brought Christopher McQuarrie, who had worked on the Cruise's film "Valkyrie" and was writing/directing "Jack Reacher," come in to doctor the script. He was shocked to find that both Luther was never mentioned and Ethan's wife had died off screen, so he wrote in the ending to explain that Luther was away watching over his wife after her death was faked. He also fleshed out Jeremy Renner's role. The original concept was that Renner could have been a mole within IMF and after the success of "The Hurt Locker" and being a lead in the upcoming "Avengers" movie, Paramount was considering having Renner take over the M:I franchise and phasing out Cruise (thus why it was called "Ghost Protocol" rather than "M:I-4," if they were to use it as a soft reboot). The movie was a big hit and McQuarrie teamed up again with Cruise on "Edge of Tomorrow." He ended up directing and co-writing the 5th M:I film, then directed and wrote entirely the 6th film. Now he is finishing up the 7th and 8th film.

I liked this video just because of Holden offering himself to AT&T in the beginning. That was hilarious! 😂

The AT&T rant had me dieing. It's also why I'll never stop buying films on disc.

Y'all really reminded me of my parents at the beginning of the video; Momma needing the noise of the tv to sleep and my Pops cursing about AT&T. Thanks for the good memories. 💜

The AT&T rant is a masterclass on taking a bit from someone and improving it 😂 the delivery is *chef’s kiss*

Jen, You were RIGHT! The guy who puts the mask over Ethan's face IS the same guy from the first one. in the original, he was working for Vanessa Redgrave's character, Max. They tried to get her for Ghost Protocol, her schedule could not be worked out.

For me Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol was more of a turning point in the franchise. It’s the first MI where it actually feels like a ensemble team movie rather than Tom Cruise + team. It’s also directed by Brad aBird who is an animation director originally, and as a result a great visual storyteller. Look at the sandstorm chase sequence for example, it’s such an amazing piece of cinematic storytelling using the visuals and zero dialogue, and so easy to follow. Just amazing work.

Finally, its here, the reaction to my favorite Mission Impossible Movie by far and before I watch I just want to say that I am glad you guys are enjoying the Mission Impossible Franchise and I hope you guys enjoy this one, also one cool fact before I watch the video, while filming this movie, Tom Cruise himself actually got to do the skyscraper scene to be shot IRL, no green screen or anything and with critical planning and perfect execution, you get one of best scenes in all of Mission Impossible.

Came out near Christmas 2011. Major upgrade for the franchise. One of my favorite sequels. Saw it in IMAX. The first live-action feature by animation legend, Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratoutoulle and The Iron Giant). From part 3 onward, these sequels stay fully connected (thanks to J.J. Abrams as producer). From part 4 onward, they utilize IMAX technology for core visual scenes. This one definitely proved that Cruise is one of the best actors to ever do action period. The cast (IMF, villains) was great. Jeremy Renner was super busy between MI-4, the MCU and the Bourne franchise. Not too many 4th installments are this good.

It's not a Holden video, if he's not raging at AT&T

Brad Bird is a genius.

8:04/8:22 FUN FACT: During this part when Tom and Simon first walk inside the Kremlin the Main Villain is actually waiting around and walks in with them from behind in the background. I believe he's the guy literally to the side at 8:22 and Tom and Simon literally walk right past him.

This was Brad Bird's first live action movie he has directed, which is surprising as he directed The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Tomorrowland, The Incredibles 2, and the upcoming Ray Gunn.

19:52 Jen, that IS the guy from the first one. Playing the same character. That's why Ethan was all like 'just like old times huh?"

Holden probably sitting there thinking the climbing gloves are AT&T products

Holden's reaction to AT&T and the internet going out, is the same I make when Comcast goes out. 😂🤣😂

22:35 If you mean Anil Kapoor, he was a major character in 24 S8 if you saw that. Also, the Burj Khalifa sequence is probably my favorite stunt sequence in the entire franchise to date. I still get queasy every time Hunt is dangling on the side of the building. I also gasp when he hits his head on the window when he lets go of his cable.

Hope you guys are doing great (and getting sleep)! Love that you are entering the films featuring Cruise’s more massive stunts- Burj Khalifa’s climb, holding breath for seven minutes, HALO jump, stuck to side of airplane, falling off helicopter, etc Edit: Holden’s ATT segment absolutely killed me so true

I'm glad you guys started this franchise. Gets better and better from here. Just remember to pay attention to the wider story and don't just watch the action like I initially did, haha.

Hey got my comment read!! Just glad you guys are doing the M:I movies. Been fun and can’t wait for this one!

Holden Vs AT&T is hands down one of the biggest rivalries of this century!

The AT&T rant is just pure magic.

"We all have secrets" Avengers theme starts playing..😂😂

Brad Bird really is an underrated director I’ve always thought he’d be picked to direct an avengers film since his style is so fluid with any action genre. I’d be just as happy to see him make even more films not MCU related.

I'm so freaking glad you made it this far. This is, for me at least, right where the franchise took the next step. 'Rogue Nation' has a wider story arc and adds some extremely interesting characters. Plus there's just more of...everything...from this point on. Gadgets, stunts, action, suspense, missions, etc. Christopher McQuarrie is the best thing to happen to these movies behind the camera. He really fleshes out the characters more instead of following with some lazy writing. Goodness I'm so excited for the next movie because Rogue Nation is the one that made me go from really liking these movies into really loving these movies.

They really did well using the Burj Khalifa stunt climb as a selling point. Everybody went insane when they released those set photos, especially that one rehearsal climb where Cruise sat at the very top of the tower for a photo op. Every other film since then has had a big stunt, but this one stood above the rest just for being the prime sign of Cruise's team's dedication to the franchise. Everything else that followed, while being equally impressive, was "just" a fulfillment of that initial promise.

Oh man I just got back from work, This is the first videoI click and I am already in a good mood. Holden I hear ya man!! I hope it gets sorted out. And Jen hope you're doing well and feeling good. Love that you guys are doing the Mission Impossible series. You're gonna love The Next 2 for sure.

The rant at the beginning of the video made me subscribe. You guys are amazing keep up the great work.

Mythbusters also did a show on how being shot underwater is bs. The bullet loses its velocity after 3ft, so if you're 4ft and under, you're good. They even tried with a .50 cal Barret sniper rifle pointed at an angle right next to the pool. Same results

This movie is amazing. I hope you both you both enjoyed it.

For the longest time, this was my favorite movie in the series. But then 5 and 6 came out, and somehow managed to improve on it even more. You'll see soon enough. Also, fun fact: much of the movie was filmed in Prague, such as the railway station, the courtyard and interior of the Kremlin, and the streets outside the hospital than Ethan escapes from. I went to Prague in 2017, and recognized the places from the film. It's a beautiful place, though I had to cut my visit short due to a medical emergency. I'll go back there someday...

Been waiting for this one!!

13:44 I can testify to that statement because I saw this in an IMAX theater, and as someone who has a fear of heights; to watch the scenes where he’s climbing the building was very terrifying. It wasn’t until a few days later I saw a behind-the-scenes feature on the film, and it showed TC climbing the building but with wires holding him up; they were matted out through CGI.

Jen wins again!!!! I LOVE all these films, they are all excellent! But there is something so gritty and heartfelt, subversive and respectful about the first one. To this day, watching that movie all the way through to that last, glorious scene, with Luther and Ethan sitting in a European patio to the sounds of The Cranberries, fills me with joy.

As someone who gets literal electric shocks in the legs whenever I’m peering over a high balcony or cliff or any other place overlooking a deep void, the scene of climbing the glass wall was pure torture!!

Loved the reaction and can’t wait for the next two movies for you both to see!

Main bad guy-Michael Nyqvist. Was the russian boss in John Wick. Died 2017, having reached Hollywood after years of doing Swedish blockbusters. He was the protagonist in the original The girl with the dragon tattoo. Awesome actor.

So this video wasn't sponsored bt AT&T if I had to guess.

Been looking forward to this 😃

I can't wait for possibly Jason Bourne after this series 😁🤗😁

This is definitely my favorite MI film, amazing stunts and amazing locations to film at

Director : Let's use CGI Tom : I am CGI ( Cruise Going Insane)

This reaction is proudly sponsored by AT&T. "Where you expect great service, but you get AT&T"

Hilarity immediately ensued with this video. Brilliant commentary by Holden on his eternal struggle with AT&T

This was a great reaction and must give it to Holden for all the comic relief, your AT&T stuff is hilarious and just made the reaction that much better to watch, thoroughly enjoyed! You really should react to the movie Fall, the perspectives you see in the movie will definitely bring on that vertigo, Stephen King himself loved it and wished he had thought of it!

Just gonna see her splat. Opportunity missed indeed. I always thought that they should have done that. Jen is right. That is the guy from the first one.

Hey Guys, luv the channel! Luv these movies, great reactions..for me the best MI movie is Number 5..Rogue Nation then this one Ghost Protocal and then the first one as i saw it when i was 7 when we went to Toronto Canada on family holiday to see relatives, the furthest i had ever been and it was cool to see over there...Much luv from Ireland..hope ur pregnancy is goin well and everything Jen, my brother and Sister In Law are also pregnant with their first...happy time☘️💚

The hate for AT&T is palpable and I didn't know I needed to see that. Come for ghost protocol and giggle at the hate for his internet service provider.

And they still keep getting better and the stunts get more insane!

14:40 Glad to see Jenna healthy and laughing 😂😂

all the MI movies after this one are all directed by Christopher McQuarrie. I'm interested to see how you'll feel about them now sticking to a single director going forward

God damn it Holden I had a pretty good laugh with your rant 😂😂😂

Great movie, great reaction! Skyscraper scene is iconic, just as your starting rant. 👌😁

This is my favorite one. Though I think Fallout is the best one. Rogue Nation has the best story though.

Great reaction guys 👍, Brad Bird directing explains the A113 references that happen a couple of times earlier on in the film. I loved that rant 😂😂

Holden's AT&T rant is priceless! Maybe you should do a new "My Wife Watches" series - "Holden vs. AT&T"

Jens reaction to Holden at the start makes my day

This movie was used as a surround sound system demo when I worked at Bose years ago. Particularly the scene with Ethan running into the sandstorm for the chase. Old Tom helped me sell a few 5.1 surround sound systems and make slightly above minimum wage. But 3 is my favorite though for some reason.

MI: GP is my peak MI movie, followed closely by MI3. The suspense of "everything that can go wrong, has gone wrong" was greatly delivered by Brad Bird, making this my favorite MI movie so far...

Your onnpoint with the fanbase people seem to love them from 3 onwards, 5 is my personal fav so looking forward to that reaction

OMG Jen watched Lost?! Jen, you're awesome!

Hard to start a franchise off at a 10, would love to see you guys breakdown the entire run and see most memorable moments ranked.

As the fan that commented said, this is when Mission Impossible takes off (By the way, as far as the 1st one, I agree about the 1st one, it was special). This movie was fun, but now my two favorites are about to come, can't wait to see you reacting to those two.

One thing the movies do get right (usually) is that bullets slow down so much in water that it's hard to get serious wounded unless someone if shooting you at point blank range.

19:35 best avenger’s reference ever.

This is the one I started with! I still need to go back and watch movies 2 and 3 before the new one comes out

"I guess in the end it turns out all along it was your wife that went... Ghost Protocol." Puts on shades. Cut to title credits! YEEAAH! 😂😂😂

This is my favourite one. I absolutely love the Burj climb scene - amazing. I liked Paula Patton in this. Jeremy Renner was a good addition to the team. Simon Pegg's humour is refreshing to break up the serious stuff.

"Tom Cruise Crazy" is a deep cut, that's for sure. Always nice to hear some JoCo.

I love finally getting to see all the super duper spy tech fail and break.

You guys are right on track with your thoughts!

22:32 “He Was The Bad Guy In Something Else We Watched” John Wick

I’ve noticed that you have been wearing a speed racer, T-shirt, and a little bit of a lot lately in the past few videos. I wanted to know if you guys would ever react to the live action speed racer movie. Personally, I’ve always liked cars since I was a kid and also loved speed racer. The character in his car ever since I was a child . it just sits different with me very nostalgic.

The scene where Ethan Hunt climbing the tallest building in the world was insane! I'm surprised he didn't get s slight case of vertigo!

MI - 7.5/10 (memorable moments and great directing) MI2 - 5/10 (so over the top and stupid) MI3 - 8/10 (it had better plot, characters and was full of emotions overall) MI4 - 9/10 (the most impossible mission)

Ghost Protocol in IMAX was insane. These movies just keep getting better.

That intro of the rant got me cracking up 😂

...btw, that "skinnier version of that guy from the first one", that is him. Tom has always wanted 'Max' to come back into the series, she sez no. But then they were filming some scenes, they found 'that guy' was in the same city, they did some digging, and he was available for that scene.

Holden’s AT&T rant had me rolling. 😂😂

Damn Holden, I FELT that At&t rant in my bones 😂 These damn isp's can bring anyone to the brink of madness.

Idea for helping get to sleep - audiobooks. I have trouble getting to sleep, too. I've found that playing audiobooks does the job better than TV. Although, it has to be one that I've already listened to. Otherwise, I don't want to miss the story and stay awake to listen to it. I listen to audiobooks instead of the radio, so there's always another one added to my finished list to choose from. A favourite of mine that I like to use is The Martian, by Andy Weir.

The moment Holden said " Your Wifi is Offline" my wifi went out. We don't have AT&T, we have Spectrum but I thought that was hilarious😂😂😂

The Tom cruise running gets me hype every time

Tom Cruise was actually firmly secured by multiple cables while doing the Burj Khalifa stunt, that had to be removed digitally in editing. Even so, the stunt was so dangerous that the insurance company refused to allow it, so they fired the insurance company and found another.

Ghost Protocol is the first Mission Impossible movie I saw in the theatres and is probably my favourite Mission Impossible movie.

I’m not willing to argue which movie in this franchise is the best, but this is my favorite. Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner, Burj Kalifa! This movie is dope. For this series its the “Fast5” equivalent. Also the bad guy in this movie is also the bad guy in the first John Wick. That’s why he seems familiar.

23:54 Holden: “What would the military be doing in this situation?” Stony McStoneFace: “That’s classified information, civvie.”

Holdens AT&T rant though hahaha😂

13:10 similar scenes in age of ultron where Jeremy renner is trying to say something but doesn't say anything when vision lifts thors hammer and everyone is shock

That WAS Sawyer, Jen.

4:31 yes, Bad Robot (jj abrams) is still involved in these movies up until now

Okay Jen with the comment of the day!

I didn't like 2, so I skipped 3. This is the one that brought me back and made me a fan. The formula they put together (which it turns out started in 3) worked and they've kept with it for the most part.

Holden is a proud Spokesman for AT&T and everything in Between LOL

This is the 2nd best film in this franchise. Great reaction! 👍🏿

One thing about Ethan Hunt Character is, he's a Agent and not a assassin's own by agency.. What ever mission he got, he analyze every single route.. If the agency wants someone death or catch, he's not gonna directly 100% follow the orders, he's gonna investigate if the person really guilty or somebody in the agency/government used their power/rank to manipulate/fullfil their own agenda..

28:38 For movies kinda hard to do that level of intensity. It's IMPOSSIBLE *mission Impossible theme starts playing

Holden's AT&T rant though 😂😂😂
