do I have to see the first 4 mission impossible films?


Or Can I just skip to MI-5

reply

No, its not related to any of previous 4 films at all. It is totally different. It's just like Johnny English's new movie. But rather a good one.

It's to do with the British TV Show, Spooks. Not Mission Impossible. MI5 is the British Security Service. The show ran for 10 years in the UK and was very popular.

that tom cruise crap

I respectfully and totally disagree.

In my humble opinion Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible stunts are of the best stunts (I am not his fan but he is a hell of actor).

Watch the 4th one and you'll see bits of plot points come back.
M:I series is all generally above average action films but the 4th one and this one will be standouts.

To be fair it is listed as MI-5 on imdb, can't be calling it 'Spooks' in the U.S. it would attract a whole different audience.

The OP is clearly being sarcastic.

This crap fest has nothing to do with Mission Impossible. Even though it wishes it was.

reply

The think the series behind this movie is definitely watchable before the movie. But to answer your question. No, you do not past, present nor future need to watch Mission Impossible in conjunction with this movie.

reply

Since the Mission Impossible movies have nothing to do with MI5/Spooks, no.

Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!
