A look back at the Mission Impossible film series starring Tom Cruise and trying to remember what all those missions were about.
With a new Mission: Impossible film coming out, (this time a two-parter no less!) it’s only natural for movie fans to reflect on the previous entries of Tom Cruise’s spy franchise.
This is exactly what I was doing with a friend and thought my ridiculous hazy memories about each individual film was amusing enough to share. It became clear very quickly I don’t remember much about them – other than a handful of scenes. It’s usually some action set-pieces that I can recall, but have no idea how Cruise’s Ethan Hunt got there or why.
This isn’t to say I dislike these flicks. I was surprised how much I enjoyed some of them, but the story, characters, even just a general broad plot synopsis – that stuff just seems to float out of my head as soon as the end credits rolled.
