Tag Archives: Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
Hey everyone, like Carol Anne might say: “They’re Baaack!” Doug. Mr Jeremy and the Movie Maniac are here after a long hiatus (look it up) and this time “It’s personal.” The guys are at each others’ throats about which spy movie is best: Spectre or Rogue Nation. Which actors sell a movie: think The Martian and Central Intelligence and trailers; Hint: Captain America: Civil War looks awesome. Don’t go another day without your Movie Madness fix!

This is by far the best in the series and this is why:
- Mission Impossible: make a movie with great action, terrific characters and an awesome plot and story…MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
- Mission Improbable: add some great practical effects mixed in with CGI and come up with believable action sequences…MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
- Mission Implausible: manage to keep the audience engaged and in their seats for the entire film without the usual “Aw C’mon,” gasp…MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation is easily “best of breed” and also my favorite of the franchise. Not once was I thrown out of the film by some cheesy special effect or lame piece of dialogue.
The IMF gang is in disarray. Alen Hunley (Alec Baldwin), head of the CIA, is coming after the team with the intention of taking it apart under the auspices of Langley. Unfortunately there’s a terrorist organization (think Specter or Chaos) intent on taking over the world and destroying IMF first. Enter Ethan, Benji and Luther and expect tons of action! With great direction and cinematography and a terrific sense of humor, Rogue Nation is a hit.
Unfortunately not all is perfect. The bad guy, Solomon Lane (Sean Harris), suffers in comparison to any of the Movie Madness Top Male Villains. Alan Rickman or Jack Nicholson, either one, could kick his butt and, the movie is a bit predictable. Particularly having seen even one of the trailers, it’s easy to see where it’s going. Agree or not I think you’ll like this one.
4.5 out of 5 stars and you just have to see this one in the theater!
