Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is the fifth movie in the Mission Impossible franchise to come out and might be Ethan Hunt's most impressive mission yet. Ethan, a CIA agent, must go out and hunt down a new threat known as the Syndicate. The Syndicate is a network of deadly operatives who will stop at nothing to create a new world order by influencing the world through escalating terrorist attacks. Hunt gathers his team, like he almost always does, and decides to team up with Ilsa Faust, but her motives and actions are more than a little suspicious, and she may or may not be working for the Syndicate herself. Meanwhile, Ethan Hunt discovers that another real threat is Solomon Lane, a mastermind who is more than capable of eliminating Hunt and everything he holds dear. 

 The beginning of the movie starts things off brilliantly and is one of the more exciting starts to ever begin an adventure movie. It begins with an epic airplane scene that incredibly showcases Ethan Hunt's pure shear awesomeness and why he has become such a beloved spy. The middle continues things nicely and allows viewers to question who's trustworthy and who isn't, in a manner that isn't confusing or over complicated. In fact, one of the main highlights of the movie is the fact that it combines thrills with mysteriousness to create a plot that manages to shock people with its unexpected twists and turns without becoming irrational. The ending of the movie is just excellent and combines the enticing adventure with everything that the Mission Impossible movies accomplish so well, including: character development, action, thought through villain debunks, suspense, and intensity. 

 Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation does a good job of ensuring that the tone of the movie never becomes too dark or grim, and there are witty moments sprinkled throughout, as well as outstanding one-liners that feel perfectly timed. There's more of Benji in this movie, and because Benji is an instant fan-favorite, he does nothing but help the film. When combined with Luthor Stickell, who happens to be another relatable, fan-favorite hacker, and an intriguing villain that manages to act as both a deadly threat and the other side of the duality of mankind's personality, the movie manages to put together an awesome adventure with talented actors and emotionally rich characters that manages to challenge all of the other Mission Impossible movies to date for being the greatest. 

 Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation also is packed to the brim with outrageously good battle scenes that showcase the movie's vividly pleasing visual effects. These superb special effects manage to shine when they're called upon and are at least partially responsible for how much the movie feels like it could happen in real life. Tom Cruise continues to shine as the face as the franchise, and with another success like this one, it becomes even more crystal clear why people say the role of Ethan Hunt was made for him. Some critics believe that the reason that the Mission Impossible movies are actually better than the James Bond movies are that there is only one Ethan Hunt, instead of there being multiple "007," which causes confusion and makes the movies feel unrelated, causing a lack of character development and suspense. 

 Not only was Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation a hit with die-hard fans, but the movie was also a hit with critics. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie an impressive 93%, and 93% of Google users liked the movie, showing both viewers and critics both thought highly of the film. Even though this movie probably isn't the best place to start to dive into the franchise, the movie does a good job of getting audiences on board with the whole backstory, and knowledge of the previous movies isn't an absolute must, which allows this Mission Impossible movie to appeal to a much larger crowd. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is prepared to shatter any and all previous expectations, and without a doubt, it is a must see for just about everyone.
