Mission: Impossible is a fun and suspenseful spy movie that older kids and teens will enjoy alot. There are plenty of great action sequences and neat spy gadgets. A sleek and enjoyable thriller. Good for kids 11+

The movie, although often unrealistic, is fun and fast-paced, definitely worth a watch or two, with well-choreographed action sequences and comic relief. In terms of violence, most of it comes at the beginning. A man is stabbed in the face (not shown), two people are stabbed, a car is blown up, and someone is shot. Later on, there's another shooting or two, a few explosions, and a death by being crushed under a helicopter. In terms of sex, there's just some brief kissing, but there are about 25 swear words. All around good movie, but not for under 12!

The movie itself is very good. The characters are impaled, shot, and stabbed. However, none are graphic and the impalement cuts away before anything is seen. THere are a few s-words, as well as a handful of milder expletives.There are only a few thematic elements, and most are so mild that it's hard to even catch them.

is is vary cool but spyish so it is easy kills not long battles like it was. and i just say o my gosh some times a lot of times it stinks like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa its not like the best but some boring bad men it is just not right like aaaaaa

Brian De Palma's 1996 summer action flick, which started out just plainly as, well, a summer flick, was a big success (thank god the sequels were better) and spawned a franchise. So, did it deserve to be a big success and start it's own franchise? Well, I am very sorry to the legions of fans of the original film in the popular spy franchise, but the first time I saw it, I hated it. I absolutely hated it. I hated every moment of it's goofy, horribly dated special effects, overly talky symbolism, murky plot and dull acting. So, I recently re-watched this one again, and I have to say, it really actually hasn't changed all that much. So, back to the question I just asked earlier, did it deserve to be a big success and spawn a franchise? Well, no. Don't get me wrong, this is a strangely varied franchise where as every time a new installment comes out, it is always better than the previous film, and to me, the first Mission Impossible has always been a gigantic dark horse. So, despite the PG-13 rating, there are several mature themes: There is very infrequent but occasionally bloody violence, one implied scene of sexuality and frequent but mild language including b-tch, h-ll and d-mn. So, if you like this first installment in the franchise, than good for you. Fantastic. in fact, more power to you, I just most certainly did not.

this movie has good acting, with a good plot. it is not for the squemish, because it starts with an entire team of opratives being shot, impaled, stabbed, and oterwise killed (off screen though, but you still hear a few, ahem, bodily noises). After that though, there is just a few shoot out sequences and a perolis chase. (what good action movie is without one) if you are looking for a good action flik, this is a good movie for you
