Mission Impossible 1 is a solid A grade
Worst of the series for sure.

MI 2 is one of my favorites of that series.

Those are all good movies probably because they weren't filmed like a Bon Jovi video :P

I remember really liking MI2's style & soundtrack (even the Limp Bizkit song didn't annoy me), but as time went by I did like it less and less overall, not because of the style (John Woo kicks ass), but the story that rips off Notorious in a hilariously sloppy way bugs me, and I just don't like Dougray Scott (damn we dodged a bullet with him originally cast as Wolverine).

I never saw what was special about the first Mission Impossible movie, I remember finding it pretty mediocre outside the infamous wire scene.

I did dig Ghost Protocol & Fallout quite a bit though. Didn't see the new one, or Rogue Nation. Or III for that matter.
