    It seems that Mission Impossible 8 is going to do what James Bond never could

    Sakege Posted on

    The first exciting trailer for Mission Impossible 8: The final reckoning has finally arrived, and Ethan Hunt might be about to do the only thing James Bond I could never: stop.

    Nowadays, it’s not just tomorrow that never dies, but movie franchises too. In fact, a common criticism about modern cinema is that no one has a license to kill a series and, as a result, they are a bit like diamonds: forever.

    Fortunately, Mission Impossible 8, the last action movie from beloved acrophile Tom Cruise, it looks like he (based on Ethan asking his team to trust him one last time) is going to buck that trend and bring Hunt’s story to a natural end.

    It’s a shocking move that will scare some, but it could be for the best, and nothing proves that more than a franchise that doesn’t have time to die. I’m talking, of course, about the one and only James Bond.

    The name is Bond…

    On paper, Bond and Mission Impossible have a lot in common. Both are about maverick spies who do dangerous things to keep the world safe from megalomaniacs and ne’er-do-wells trying to make the sky fall or other similar catastrophic events.

    However, and this is for your eyes only, I think Mission: Impossible is the better series. Because? Well, because Bond is an international icon and, in many ways, he’s bigger than the films he appears in. As a result, sensational Bond rumors often loom over the film like an evil specter, overshadowing the excitement of a new 007 movie.

    That’s why when I first saw Daniel Craig’s latest film, his death didn’t particularly move me. I knew in the back of my mind that they hadn’t killed him, and This wouldn’t even be the last time I would see 007..

    Basically, I was convinced that he would die another day because he is too big a character for his story to end. It seemed that as soon as the credits rolled, the press turned its (golden) eye on Who would be the next actor to join Her Majesty’s Secret Service?.

    Honestly, it’s exhausting and takes me out of the movie, depriving it of any risk or emotional impact. However, the Mission Impossible films are different: they are not a cultural monolith like the Bond films are. They don’t have to last forever. They have the freedom to stop, and that’s a weapon more powerful than anything Dr. No has.

    It gives this new film a genuine interest, a sense that anything can happen. Maybe Ethan survives, maybe we can kill him and he dies? I don’t know, but the fact that I’m not reading columns about who will be the next Ethan Hunt within 12 months of the next movie means that I don’t even have to think about it until the credits for Mission: Impossible 8 have rolled. roll.

    That’s the difference between these movies. With Mission Impossible, I can see the end of the fuse, and it’s exciting, whereas with Bond, well, you know that character is going to be fighting Goldfinger and the Man with the Golden Gun from now until the end of the movie.

    Now, there’s a chance that this is just clever marketing and the Mission: Impossible movies will continue, but I hope Tom Cruise realizes what a special opportunity he has here. Maybe I’m being naive but never say never…. again.
