Question for you MI fans. I've only seen the first two movies and that was over 2 decades ago. Didn't love them although 2 was better. Im out of stuff to watch these days and everyone talks so highly of the franchise that I'm thinking about diving back in. Do I need to rewatched 1 & 2 or can I just pick up with 3 and go forward? Which are the best? I hear that later the series goes the better they get, with the exception of last years.

Been on a Tom Cruise kick since I watched the Jack Reacher films for the first time last week out of boredom and hearing good things about the Amazon show. The movies were ok.

 

1 is a classic and is worth a rewatch, 2 is absolutely skippable IMO

and I'm a newer MI fan that just watched for the first time about a year ago

 

Yeah, the continuity between the movies is pretty minimal. You could jump in anywhere. 4 and 6 are probably the best, but 2 is the only one that I don't ever feel the need to return to. 3 gets a decent amount of flack (only some of it deserved in my opinion) but the Philip Seymour Hoffman performance is undeniable.

 

Yea, 2 is by far the worst. And 1 is great.

I’m the kind of person who would just watch all of them. But if you wanted to just start at 3, I don’t think you’d really miss out on anything. The latest does call back to the first movie, but not so much that you need it fresh to enjoy it.

 

And it’s good to note that the movies shift in tone slightly right around 4, and 4-7 is a fantastic run.

certainly worth the watch!

 

The second one is really fun though once you embrace how silly it is

 

I watched it recently and was honestly super bored. That’s all I can recall really. Just deeply lacking entertainment for me.

 

2 rules for how corny and of it's time it is and of course John Woo and doves, but it's absolutely the worst one.

Just start with 3, it's kind of the pivot point and bridge between the first and what they become. From 4 on they're huge action spectacles where each set piece tries to one-up the last and Cruise is trying to kill himself for your entertainment. Also, go back and watch the first one, it's a great intrigue thriller. All of them are way more fun than Jack Reacher.

 

I took so long to watch these movies that the public opinion of 1 and 2 offset my expectations, leaving me just whelmed with 1 and pleasantly surprised by 2

 

Fallout is a top tier action movie. What a great film.

 

The reacher show is much better than the movies.

 

I started with, uh… five? The second most recent, where beefy mustached Man of Steel cocks his arms like a gun during a bathroom fight. And I was fine.

Feels good knowing I’ve seen every M:I film with Vanessa Kirby in it.
