Summary: A remake that's good
Review: DePalma directing Tom Cruise, the biggest actor in Hollywood, in a Summer blockbuster. You wouldn't have believed it could happen. Well, it did, and Mission : Impossible is a fast, fun action flick, that is pure enjoyment. Cruise is fine, apart from one scene where Jon Voight asks if there are any questions. The camera suddenly moves to Cruise, who asks whether they can get better coffee. A fine support cast is used, and the twist, the betrayal of Ethan Hunt by his boss, Jim Phelps is unexpected. Some claim the film betrays the Tv series, but I don't accept that. The TV series was fantastic, but this film isn't a straight copy. It offers something different. An enjoyable 100 minutes or so.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: Because the movie didn't feel like the show is irrelevant. In case some have forgotten, we're in the 1990's. I will admit that I had to watch it twice to get the story right, but that doesn't take away from the movie's intrigue. I bet most people who watched this movie never saw the show. Good. Mission Impossible 2 is in the works and I can't wait.

Summary: Why is this called Mission Impossible?
Review: First off I enjoyed the film greatly. Having said that, why make a film and call it Mission Impossible then make it so that it is the exact opposite of the TV series. I could just about accept the plot apart from the apalling travesty of making the baddie Jim Phelps. I would like to know how Paramount could sanction this. It is no wonder Peter Graves wanted nothing to do with it.

Summary: Excelent, but a little confusing.
Review: I thought this movie was confusing the first time that I saw it. Then I watched it again, and everything made sence. You can't just watch it once and judge it. Other people siad that this movie was terrible. I thought it was a great thriller. After I watched it a second time, all the pieces fit the puzzle. I would recommend a look at this one.

Summary: If you loved both the TV series, you'll HATE this.
Review: I thought this movie was garbage, for the main reason of what they did to one of the main characters of the mission impossible TV series. This character of the TV series would not be like the one in the movie. I don't think the writers of the movie ever saw the series. If i could give this movie less that one star i would.

Summary: Dreadful
Review: The only good thing is this movie is the CIA sequence. The rest of it makes little to no sense. A true exercise in style with no substance.

Summary: I was dissappointed
Review: Fans of the TV series should be dissappointed and angry that a good show has gotten into the wrong hands. There is none of the intrigue or ingenuity that was so integral to the series. The movie could have and should have been made under a different title. Why was it necessary to spoil the memory of a great TV series with this nonsense?Without revealing any of the plot, let me just say that the denouement is particularly awful, in that it puts one of the main characters from the TV show in a very negative light. This particular plot element was completely unnecessary and un-called for. No reason to see this at all.

Summary: Thrilling And Intelligent.
Review: "Mission: Impossible" is a thrilling and intelligent thriller with enough twists and turns to always keep us interested. Also, this movie has lots of wonderful style and great action sequences. Brian DePalma is a great director who always presents interesting and intriguing works. "Mission: Impossible" is complex with a great plot and thrills. I was never bored and always interested. This is a dynamite thrill ride.

Summary: Simple Plot, What's The Problem?
Review: I've heard from so many people that the main problem with "Mission Impossible" is its plot, that it's "impossible" to inderstand, when in fact it is very easy to understand. In short, Tom Cruise is trying to clear his name by finding the real traitor of the team. Redgrave knows who that person is and promises to tell Cruise, but in return, he must get her the noc file, that's what that whole "acrobat" seen is about. They plan to meet on the train, and the rest is history. Okay now?

Summary: Who? What? When? Where? WHY???
Review: This "film" makes even less sense than The Avengers! From the first scene to the last, I had absolutely NO IDEA what was going on! I guess that's why they called it "Impossible" -- impossible to understand. It's also very BORING, except for a few short, mildly entertaining scenes. What a complete waste of time!
