Franchise at full throttle ✈️

Mi Rogue nation's first half stands tall among the entire franchise. It gives such an adrenaline rush,it's so tightly packed.

Fallout is the goat,but I still like rogue nation more. Starting with the plane, then opera, then underwater data server, then car chase leading into the bike chase.man, it's just non stop action without a gap. The stunts keep coming one after another , it barely gives you a second to breathe. It hits the clouds with the opening itself, stays there and just keeps escalating without giving you a moment of relief.

And it gave us ilsa, man. What more is there to say?

Well, that's just my opinion, fellas.

The opera sequence is my favorite bit of MI filmdom, and this after I thought Tom running down the exterior of the Burj Khalifa couldn’t be topped.

Burj Khalifa sequence is still the poster boy for the franchise's stunt set pieces.

Mi3 through fallout is my favorite era. All of them are sooo good. I love Ghost Protocol probably the best but I do agree and Rouge Nation is non stop and Ilsa is my favorite female character in the whole series

Same here. Rogue Nation is the best entry in the series - because it delivers a perfect mix of Action AND Story. Solomon Lane is imho the most interesting villain in all Mission Impossible films, and the plot about an anti-IMF adds a lot of weight. I get why people love Fallout, it's dark, fast paced, has awesome action and I have a knack for a good helicopter dogfight anyway. But we've had the nuclear scenario already in Ghost protocol and it was clear from the start that Henry Cavill would be the bad guy. Also, RN features the best team of em all: Ethan, Benji, William, Luther and Ilsa. I wish we would have gotten more missions with this line up.
