Whooooooooo, always look forwards to a Mission Impossible film, and nice to see Simon Pegg getting a bigger role this time around compared to the third film.

Looks good at least. Dvd rental at most. I liked it how the director took a new approach to the Mission Impossible series. No more girlfriend love sub-plot, and no more Philip Seymour Hoffman! Now the series is finally going on the right direction! With a new cast and mind-blowing action, I at least have to consider watching it on dvd.

Hoffman was one of the best parts in Mission Impossible 3... what was wrong with Hoffman in your eyes?

[JudgeThatMovie9]

PSH and JW's acting in general. I'm not just talking about Philip Seymour Hoffman's acting in Mission Impossible 3.

Hoffman is too much like John Wayne (Which I also hate). He isn't even funny (Badly overrated performance in Punch Drunk Love. And I was actually enjoying Adam Sandler). And the only decent acting PSH ever achieved was in The Big Lebowski. When he's in a movie, he's only in the movie! Just like John Wayne. They're only in a movie to fucking show-off and not give any-real facial expressions. PSH and JW is one faced most of the time, and I always see a frown or smurk on their face, which they try to hide. Not only do both of them degrade the goodness of a movie, is that their bad acting generally leads them to show-cast in boring ass movies.

John Wayne movies that bore me to hell:

True Grit (Original), Rio Bravo, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and The Searchers.

Philip Seymour Hoffman movies that bore me to hell:

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, Jack Goes Boating, Punch Drunk Love, and Mission Impossible 3.

Nothing wrong with Hoffman's acting at all... certainly not bad. I take it you haven't seen Capote? Doubt? Magnolia?

I would posit that Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of the best actors of the modern era. Comparing him to John Wayne is rather peculiar; Wayne being one of the most over the top and theatrical performers Hollywood has known (I'm not using 'theatrical' as a complement in this context as one might when referring to Pacino, for instance), whereas Hoffman is one of the foremost proponents of a naturalistic method working today. To compare their acting styles (if one could call Wayne's acting stylish, I leave up to you) seems completely arbitrary given how different they went about portraying the roles they were cast in.

As for the trailer: It looks like every other Mission Impossible film, which I guess is a part of the series' charm. Not being a fan, I couldn't say. If it's ever on TV and I have a spare 90 or so minutes, I may check it out.

Yep. I think so too. I liked John Wayne and I like several of his movies, but I would never call him a great actor. Also I just can't find any similarities with him and Hoffman. Hoffman is a fantastic actor and his range is amazing. He always makes me feel more emotionally invested in a movie because he is so capable of invoking emotion.
To keep on topic, this MI looks O.K. I'm usually entertained by the series.

Just look at my signature quote. Do I look like I give a shit about Naturalistic Acting?

I haven't seen 'Doubt' yet but I thought that this scene showed how his acting in my opinion can be friggin' brilliant.

As for this new MI movie. I can't wait as I loved the first and third so far. The second was pretty bad though.

I guys can say what you want. I still hate the guy. I agree to disagree.
