Mission Impossible 1996 Tom Cruise Ethan Hunt Vault Heist Scene
Summary Although it spawned one of the most successful movie franchises in history, the first Mission: Impossible isn't without its problems. It's often been said that the Mission: Impossible franchise has improved with each movie. While this isn't strictly true, it's certainly the case that the latest entries into the franchise have made the first three movies seem a little less impressive than they once were.
This isn't necessarily a negative, but fans of the franchise who expect death-defying stunts may be a little disappointed looking back at where it all began. It's obvious that Ethan is just a man in a mask, but the guests at the gala treat him as if it doesn't look like his face may fall off at any moment. None of his facial movements are convincing at all, and this scene threatens the suspension of disbelief for the movie. Fortunately, this isn't a major plot point, so Ethan's mask can be quickly forgotten about.
7 Some Of Mission: Impossible's Sci-Fi Tech Has Aged Badly The High-Tech Aesthetic Screams 1990s Close In keeping with the original TV show, Mission: Impossible is loaded with high-tech spy gadgets which border on science-fiction. Many of these aren't necessarily meant to have any real-world equivalent, like the plastic explosive chewing gum or the glasses with cameras so small they're practically invisible.
By the end of the movie, there have been so many mediocre twists that there is nothing left to grab onto. Mission: Impossible sets the standard that nobody can be trusted. In the end, it's slightly surprising that the few good guys remaining don't start trying to kill each other. Having fewer twists would have cleaned up some of the messier parts of the narrative, all while ensuring that each remaining twist packs a punch.
3 Mission: Impossible Doesn't Explore The Connection Between Ethan & Phelps Jon Voight's Character Has Untapped Potential Close Jim Phelps was an important character in the Mission: Impossible TV series, so it was a bold choice to make him a villain for the movie adaptation. He is initially introduced as Ethan's mentor, although he later fakes his death and betrays him.
