The Holden vs AT&T saga is truly something else

I think the interruptions definitely affected your reactions. I LOVE this film. To me, MI:2 is definitely the least of all of them.

What, Rebecca is in my eyes the best female character of then all in the franchise. I mean must be a Reason for why she became a standard member later on in the franchise.

This where Tom Cruise was undeniably respected for doing his own stunts

To me, Rogue Nation is a real testament to the writing and Chris McQ's directorial skills which increased 10x in fallout. Any other writer or director would have definitely given the plane scene in the third act as the big bombastic finale, but they opted for the smaller yet more thrilling one and man I cannot wait for the next one.

Ilsa Faust is such a great addiiton to the franchise.

This is the Christopher McQuarrie era of MI films, where he writes and directs all of them forward, kinda like how the Harry Potter films went with David Yates. These are the best made ones, but see the reception you guys had, I think the interruptions really affected it. But man, Fallout is even better, and since then, Tom and Chris have been making bangers together for years since.

Rogue Nation is my favorite of the franchise. The scene during the opera is a master class in film making and one of my favorite scenes in film history. It's so good. Plus the airplane scene, the underwater tank scene and the motorcycle chase scene. Incredible! It also has arguably the best main villain of the franchise. I love this movie.

FUN FACT: Just like the last movie, when Ethan first walks into the Record Store at the beginning of the film after the Plane Sequence, the Main Villain is literally behind him inside the recording/listening booth already there and waiting for Ethan. I love these little details lol.

This is why physical media is king....😂😂

Im very suprised to your guys reaction here. Maybe it was the interpretations you guys were getting. I personally think this is ome of, it not, the best one. The action, and script were on point. I thought Ilsa had the most fleshed out character of all the female protagonists in the series. I also thought comradery between the team was at its best.

Rogue Nation is actually my second most favorite MI movie in the franchise with Fallout being in first place. Also in hindsight this movie and its storyline will make a bit more sense in a way after you watch Fallout. But just wait till you guys get to the next movie, you’ll be absolutely mind blown by what’s to come and it contains some of my most favorite scenes in the entire franchise as well!

My fav Mission impossible ❤ The opera scene is just so good

Neither of you have second movie as least favorite and I'm stunned. That can't be possible.

Gotta be honest I think you guys would have enjoyed it better without the interruptions. Sounds like most of the things you were disappointed by could have been aggravated by that, such as the story and plot. Jen also usually likes all the twists and gadgets and stuff that this movies has, and as you mentioned the stunts are great. MI: RN is at the very least way better than MI: 2, and probably 3 IMO.

I'm surprised at how you two reacted to this one, because I know Rogue Nation is considered the best Mission Impossible movie by a lot of people.

Regarding the AT&T thing, this is why it’s still good to buy physical media folks. Discs don’t rely on WiFi, also discs have much better audio than streaming

Along with the MI series, two other Cruise movies I'd recommend are "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Jack Reacher."

This is one of the best reactions. I loved seeing the hatred for AT&T in real-time

Sorry to hear you guys didn't like this one. It's one of my faves. Up there with the first movie, for sure. The action really got me and the story was so good. I feel like Fallout tried to reach that level but didn't quite "make it". This definitely rates high for me. :)

This is my second favorite mission impossible behind fallout and I think the AT&T stuff definitely factored into your opinions on the movie. Especially since a lot of your critiques were about it not being as good in the second half after at&t cut out. This one is definitely one that doesn’t give you much breathing time when you’re watching it all at once so I think having it cut in and out and then completely stop for what seemed like at least 30 minutes definitely detracted from the non stop feeling of this one

He actually needed to hold his breath for about 5 minutes but trained and managed to do 6, they needed to wait for airbubbles to go out of frame to start filming etc. So its costing him 30 sec. to a minute already just to wait to start filming and do the scene

I'm sorry, but saying "Rogue Nation is the worst M:I movie" is downright fucking insane, lol.

This movie is definitely top 3 of the franchise. Only bettered by the 1st one and fallout in my opinion. The story in this one bleeds in to fallout and dead reckoning part 1. The storytelling from rogue nation onwards is just better than anything that came before mcquarrie's return to the franchise is one of its greatest blessings

For those curious, Christopher McQuarrie had mentioned that Maggie Q and Paula Patton were both asked if they would be interested in returning for this one, but both had scheduling conflicts. McQuarrie wanted to include links to each of the previous films in this one. Some examples include the dialogue exchange between Ethan and the relay in the telephone booth is the same dialogue from the first movie. Ethan going on a motorcycle chase references the second film. Ethan dying and being revived references the third movie. And directly leading in from the nuke crashing into the harbor picks up from the last movie. When I saw this in theaters, I ended up going a random night the last week it was playing in a small theater with a relative. We ended up having the entire theater to ourselves.

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) MI5 - 10/10 (great plot, great script: especially in the third act)

This review definitely surprised me! Rogue one is one of my fav MI film because it’s a complete mission impossible film. The villain is calculated. The femme fatale is very much a femme fatale because we never knew her allegiance. The whole film is a cat and mouse game and every one is trying to get one step ahead of each other. I loved the clever writing and the shots. The pacing was exactly how it was meant to be. We have to trying to figure out who is one step ahead and not tell where anything can go.

This video is a nice reminder of why I love physical media! Everyone always talks about streaming losing rights or censorship (which area great reasons to collect your favorite movies), but most common occurrence is just crappy internet when you live in a area with very little choices.

Hard disagree with Jen and Holden (respectfully ofc). It may surprise people but I don’t like the Mission Impossible 1 very much 😂. I love Fallout, 3, Rogue Nation in that order. Rogue Nation and Fallout are INCREDIBLE world class FILMMAKING! Edited by the master editor, Eddie Hamilton. I don’t care as much about gadgets and missions as much as I do about character arcs. Specifically complex ones. Perhaps it’s also because I have just never been as into spy films. So I latch on to the character stories in these films and editing. I love Ilsa Faust. I love the opera and motorcycle chase sequences so much.

So she doesn’t like the new character because she didn’t realise she was playing both sides 😂

Genuinely, the trailer for MI: Fallout is a masterpiece in itself with Friction by Imagine Dragons playing along Sean Harris’s monologue

18:50 this is a good reason to buy physical media, you never know when the internet is gonna go on the fritz and streaming just doesn't work.

MI:Fallout, to me, is The Dark Knight of this franchise. The stakes are even bigger, the cinematography(and Chris McQuarrie’s filmmaking, in general) got a major upgrade and is gorgeous and Lorne Balfe’s score is killer especially his version of the MI theme!

I watched this a couple of days ago (hadn't seen this one) and boy - AWESOME. The water/car chase/motorbike chase sequence was perfection. Rebecca Ferguson is a revelation.

I think this is my favorite one. That motorcycle scene is one of the best i've ever.

Invest in physical media dummies! can't go wrong with discs if the internet goes down ;) EDIT: Half way through and you are on the road to the store to get the DVD haha

Rebecca Ferguson is not "okay". Come on guys. She is incredible in this one. And in Fallout she is my favourite character in that movie.

This is my favourite Mission Impossible movie and one of my favourite action movie.

Rogue Nation is just my absolute favorite in the franchise. It's a true spy movie.

The real Mission Impossible is Holden getting working internet from AT&T.

Rogue Nation is my personal favorite of the franchise

The interruptions definitely impacted your opinion, this was my second favorite after fallout. Really liked Rebecca Fergusons addition to the franchise.

This is my favourite one, the ending is just classic.

I feel that a lot of this comes down to what people want to see out of this series, and for general audiences, it comes down to the stunts. The Burj Khalifa sequence really made a huge impression on people, and I think next to that, Rogue Nation seems somewhat understated. Which is exactly why I loved this movie. Rogue Nation represents a tonal shift away from the more comedic Ghost Protocol. Ilsa's allegiances being unclear is just par for the course - it's going to happen if you watch spy films. The circumstances definitely impacted your reactions, how can it not?

I'm sure the struggle to watch this had a big impact on enjoyment. This one is great!

Sorry about your Internet, this is why physical media is so damn important

This is why physical media will always be better than digital or streaming.

The Mission Impossible franchise so far has struck a perfect balance between great action set pieces and interesting plots without feeling far-fetched or stupid. They know they want to be Popcorn movies and set out to be good ones. They managed that in spades. And I have faith that Tom Cruise will know when to stop making them and then come up with a good send-off for Ethan Hunt, as opposed to people like Harrison Ford who think it is a good idea to revisit their old characters at age 80 as long as that 25 Million paycheck is in the mail. By the way: I don't know how far in advance you film these before release, so let me just wish you guys all the best for the upcoming birth and that it will be uncomplicated and fast.

This is very much one of the best Mission Impossibles. The last one is over rated. Elsa as amazing. Real spy stuff. Love it. Ghost Protocol is my second least favorite. Ranking: M3 M1 Fallout Rogue Nation Ghost Protocol M2

Omg the third one is your least favorite??? It was always my favorite after the first one. After rewatching the movies again I like part 4 also a lot. I didn't like it when I first time watched it im cinema because of the german synchronization, that made the whole movie awful for me but since I watched it in English I loved it too. In Rogue nation I like the "female part" , her name is Ilsa Faust ;) For me the end part was somehow too boring and not special enough..Ethan just running away and trapping Lane was somehow too simple for mission impossible. For me still the second movie is the worst one. Rogue nation is on the second last place but it's still a good movie.... I am with you about that. I would also say 6.5, maybe 7

Fallout is one of the greatest action movies of this century

I don’t understand how your wife doesn’t like this one, to me it was awesome, better then the last, new characters still old characters, maybe it’s her pregnancy clouding her thought process, I appreciate you going to the store and buying the movies, have your wife watch this again after the baby is born

Mission Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation Best in Series and where THE Story Begin's 🔥

It's not your fault with the internet issues but man this was not the reaction i was expecting for this installment. I truly think it would've played better without all the interruptions. At least you own the series now on physical media so you won't have to deal with that next time. Plus, you enjoy the franchise it seems like so i say it's a worthy investment.

Rogue nation is one of the best because much of its runtime is spent on actual cloak-and-dagger spy stuff. These two don't seem to get that.

This was the first MI film that I ever saw, and it got me completely hooked on this series. Christopher McQuarrie did a fantastic job directing this, and you definitely understand why he's ended up directing the rest of the series. The action scenes and stunts are incredible and exciting, while sequences like the opera house scene are legitimately suspenseful. The team dynamic, as established in the last film, remains as strong here, Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa was a great addition to the cast, and the film's villain was really great too. In my opinion anyway, this was another big step up in quality for the series after Ghost Protocol already took the series from being "decent" to "great", and it's only going to get even better with Fallout

Rogue Nation is the second best in the franchise. On the edge of your seat from the beginning to end with almost a perfect script. Love that UK prime minister scene. To see someone said it is boring is unreal to me.

Wow. Jen has completely different tastes......to me, 2 is worst and 1 after that but from 3 on they get better and better.

The Holden vs AT&T saga has turned into Mission Impossible: Rogue Internet.

A good demonstration of why internet is perfect to download, imperfect to stream. You might wanna take the other road...

I truly think Fallout is the best of the MI films, can’t wait for you guys to see it…I definitely think the interruptions may have impacted your viewing of Rogue Nation (though to be fair it wasn’t my favorite either), here’s hoping ATT stops messing with you

I don’t get Jen at all. This movie is great and Rebecca Ferguson is the best.

This is the first time I have ever seen someone say that Rogue Nation is their least favorite MI movie. Most people have it at 2 or 3 (out of all 6).

You can never go wrong with physical media. Just saying

Your issues with AT&T are the reasons why I prefer physical media.

Between this and Fallout are my favorite. How anyone sees 2 above these is nuts haha.

what internet do they have? 2000mbit up/down? 1000? 500? just switch to better fiber ISP

I HARD disagree with these scores. _Rogue Nation_ is tied with _Ghost Protocol_ as my 2nd favorite film in the franchise. It is relentless fun, and by far the most dedicated to pure entertainment out of them all in my opinion. It is one I can put on at anytime and just enjoy the ride, the motorcycle chase and the underwater scenes get my blood pumping! The opera scene is PURE GOLD! 9.5/10 I really think the movie cutting out affected the viewing experience. Curse you AT&T!

I thought that internet problems were just a Zimbabwe thing😄😄😄...We have our own version this side called Econet...They can be very unreliable sometimes.

I was stuck with AT&T for so long cause because of my house location (literally right outside the township) so literally nothing else came to my house. The literal only thing that has saved me was T-Mobile Home Internet. It's wireless so it can flux between a 500 download or 300 depending on the day. I know you guys tried everything you said, but on the off chance you haven't tried T-Mobile

20:29 Did we even see Kate Winslet's 7 minute underwater scene? I don't remember seeing her underwater for longer than 10 seconds.

The second one is my least favorite. Just too over the top. The first one is my favorite. MI3 I really liked lol probably my second favorite. GP & RN were ok. Fallout was good as well.

My favorite mission impossible movie, I definitely think your viewing experience was tainted and thus hurt your overall thoughts on the film. Physical media supremacy!

Rebecca Ferguson (Elsa) is one of the best addition to the series. Hopefully they don’t kill her off in the latest movie, cuz I Hayley Atwell is playing in it. I like Haley but I hope she’s not replacing Rebecca.

This one and Fallout are the best ones. Christopher McQuarrie is the GOAT.

Why didn’t you want to buy the Blu Ray?

Man did Jen see the same MI:2 as the rest of us ??? All jokes aside I personally think this one is the best of the series so far Solomon Lane is by far the best villain this series has had next to Philip Seymour Hoffmanns character in 3 especially cuz it feels like Solomon feels like Ethan’s equal and I do think the interruptions might’ve been what ruined it for you guys

Guys there is no BAD MISSION IMPOSSIBLE MOVIES 😎

i live in morocco which they showed it in this movie just desert and sheeps but i have a better internet than Holden hhhhh

Cannoit wait for fallout next week. That is one of my fav spy/action movies ever

Least favorite? Thanks AT&T. This was easily my favorite when it first came out, Fallout then became my favorite.

This is one of the biggest reason's I still buy physical media for the stuff I want to own and see when I want to. Streaming is fine, but internet providers can sometimes be quite a pain. I feel your pain with AT&T.

I think this one is not the best in any one aspect in the series... ...BUT it is probably the most solid because it had very good parts in all aspects. What for example improved most from Ghost Protocol was the Vilain (although the acting did not match 3). It also had in my opinion very creative sets. I especially like the opera more and more every time because the music played on stage is massively used as the actual music for that set-piece and works perfectly for it. I overall think from the 3 newest, every one has one part it does best and one part that is missed but overall they are all amazing and it really depends on what you really want from these movies which one of them you like best.

I’m really surprised you guys didn’t like this one. I think it’s the 2nd best behind Fallout. And i do prefer this over Ghost protocol.

i feel like the constant interruption of fudging AT&T chaged your perspective of the film 😂😅 this film is soo good and even gets better with every installement❤❤

When people ask me why physical media is better than streaming I'll send them this video. lol That sucks that AT&T was ruining the experience.

On the commentary the director said Cruise almost killed himself in the bike chase scene where you see his knee almost touches the ground.

I did not think they could top Ghost Protocol, but they did. And Fallout is another beast of itself. And Rebecca Ferguson stole every scene that she was a part of.

This is why I buy DVDs to watch my movies, instead of watching them via streaming site.

This movie spawned my celebrity crush for Rebecca Ferguson.

19:10 - You know AT&T dun gone and effed up when you have a sequential sigh from both Holdman and Jen.

Yeah, this one is one of my faves in the series and I actually really like the Rebecca Ferguson character; besides perhaps the loyalty flip flopping that went on a touch to long, it’s was nice to see her a capabilities in this film. I’d give this movie an 8.5. Those internet issues would probably have lowered my enjoyment as well.

Rogue Nation is One of My Favorites! Can't Wait to see you guys Watch Fallout!

I’m sorry your viewing experience for this one was so bad. This is my favorite of the MI movies. I wish you had a better time watching it.

Nah the plane one was way more difficult compared to the building one

I ENJOYED ROGUE NATION!

The interruptions definitely affected your movie experience badly.

I feel for you with the AT&T stuff. I deal with crappy internet from time to time too. But come on, Holden edit these interruptions out of the post.

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