Summary: Best action movie of the decade!
Review: This is BY FAR the best action movie of the 90's. A fantastic epic film, with the sites becoming more and more exotic until we reach the climax in the [UK-France] Chunnel. This last chase scene by itself is better than most action movies of this decade.
I've seen this movie more than 10 times and I see something new each time.
Highly Recommended.

Summary: One of my all time favorites
Review: This movie is great! The action scenes were filled with action, but were also very clever. The infiltrations were well thought out and daring. We get to see all the "tricks of the trade" for a mission impossible team that we love in spy movies. The story twists and turns to the very end, I will admit I was surprised a couple of times and that is not very common at all. Overall, this was a great movie.

Summary: Confusing, but good
Review: Some people thought that this movie was confusing, and like any good Mission Impossible it is a bit mis-leading. Unlike the sequel MI:2, Mission Impossible is a very thickened plot with many twists that leave you thinking; what is going to happen next?

Tom Cruise plays Ethan Hunt, a point man for the US's version of the British special services (007's group), called IMF. When a mission goes bad, Hunt (Cruise) is the only one left from his IMF team that is stays alive. Hunt later finds out that the entire operation was a plot to uncover an IMF leak.

In a desperate attempt to prove his innocence Hunt recruits disavowed agents to help him. Mission Impossible is a great suspense and you never know until the very end what exactly is going to happen.

Summary: Intriguing
Review: I was one of the people (it seems the minority) who understood the plot for this movie, and it was excellent. I was a big fan of the original series, and I expected a lot. Well-done, unlike #2 which suffered from incoherence and a lack of intelligence, not to mention tremendous overstylizing. You will have to watch this brilliant thriller at least three times so as to get all of the plot twists down. The story is about a team of coverts deep inside the bowels of the CIA that can bring down any dictator, recover any object, and even assume the identities of celebrities and schmooze. Jon Voight takes the role of Jim Phelps, the only character returning from the TV series. Tom Cruise is an everyman, but he is most similar to the Martin Laudau character. Emilio Estevez is a techno-geek with creativity to spare, much like Greg Morris' character. Both the women try to take over Barbara Bain's mixture of sensuality and intelligence, and although Hannah appears little, Claire nearly steals the film. What happens is a plot to expose a spy and protect agents fails. All of the agents on Ethan Hunt's team are seemingly dead. Who is behind it, and why? The answer to who the traitor is lies with the enigmatic Max, who Ethan must entrap to clear his name. Throughout the movie there is some fascinating posturing as first Claire, then Jim are found alive, and all three must piece together what happened and expose the traitor. Several memorable scenes: The aquarium exploding, the Terminal Room (of course!), and the bullet train segment are simply eye-popping. Why this movie got so much negative reactions puzzles me. Maybe people wanted guns and gore for their summer film instead of spies and intrigue. Before you become prejudiced, see it for yourself.

Review: This DVD is really great. That's just about all there is too it. You can choose to watch the widescreen or standard versions of the movie, and both show up beautifully. There's not much more to say. Sound is awesome, video quality is awesome - and the Mission is Impossible! Get this DVD if you liked the VHS version, or if you wanna try it, or if - if ANYTHING!!

Summary: Better Than M:I 2
Review: This movie was one of the best movies I've seen in years. With a really good cast includig Tom Cruise and Jon Voight, This movie can actually provide action with a plot. If you hear that this movie was confusing, the people you are hearing these from don't know what they're talking about. If you need a good action movie to watch, watch Mission: Impossible.

Summary: An abomination
Review: Shortly before succumbing to cancer, Greg Morris, a star of the original "Mission: Impossible" television series, went to a theater and saw Brian DePalma's movie version of this series. Morris said he walked out after forty minutes and declared this movie an "abomination." My feelings exactly.

Superspy Tom Cruise and his team are betrayed during a mission. Cruise survives the betrayal and organizes another team to uncover the setup.

DePalma's "Mission: Impossible" is a great disappointment. The only reason I don't give this film a big fat zero is that it has two redeeming factors:

1. The film features one of the most awesome and sweat- inducing theft sequences in film history.

2. One of Hollywood's most sensitive males, Jon Voight, proves that he can effectively play a slimy and devious character.

Otherwise, this film is a failure. The movie is basically a confusing bore. The music is also terrible.

The movie "Mission: Impossible" can be recommended for the above two reasons but nothing else.

Summary: Mission: Perfect
Review: This is an amazing movie and should be seen by all viewers and not just ardent spy fans. Tom Cruise is fantastic as special agent Eathan Hunt, Jon Voight great as his boss and that famous computer scene is worth buying the movie for.
