I still very much enjoy the first.
I only remember that the Independence Day trailer played before this one, and I was blown away by it (don't lie to yourself, you were too). I saw MI 3 times just to see the ID trailer.
Don't remember the movie except that Emilio Estevez died.
Well considering I did not see MI I in the theater, no, I was not blown away by the ID trailer. Though I do vividly remember my aunt taking me and my cousin to see it. It was one of the first times, maybe the first, that I had seen a summer blockbuster in the theater. I do not remember my impression of the movie though, oddly enough. God bless.
There was nothing like Independence Day when it came out. The White House blowing up was a game-changer

M:I3 is a step up in almost every way but what I didn't like was the action scenes were sometimes muddled and unclear. There were a few times when I was like "wait, what's going on again?"

About 20 minutes into MI4. A question has occurred to me. When they get their mission orders it’s always phrased “your mission, should you choose to accept it…” I know this comes from the TV show (which I’ve never seen), but do they actually have a CHOICE to accept it or not? Have they ever said “no, I don’t think I’ll do this one”?

I rewatched Ghost Protocol over the last couple nights. There are some really unintentionally goofy parts.
My favorite is when Ethan is telling the team that the director is dead and the president has invoked ghost protocol, and they’re all that remains of IMF. As he’s giving his spiel, he has this tv remote sort of thing he’s using to activate different graphics on like eight different screens. “The president is dead,” clicks a button, and everyone’s heads pivot to one TV. “This bad guy has some nuclear launch codes,” clicks a button, and their heads swivel to another tv. He presents the whole mission this way, and they all end up with whiplash.

Also Jeremy Renner does not work in this movie.
On the contrary. Renner is absolutely essential to the plot. The film doesn’t work without him.
I’m ready for a MI movie in which Ethan isn’t disavowed, wanted by world authorities and on the run. Surety there’s some mission that doesn’t involve him being a framed rogue agent.

This only really happens in 1, 4 and 5. But it is funny that it happens so often
