I finally got around to the last two Mission: Impossible movies. Terrible writing and some other factors easily make them the weakest of what was otherwise a good-to-great series until this point. I wouldn't recommend *starting* with these for novices. Honestly, unless they make another, I would normally just recommend stopping after the excellent sixth film, Fallout.

However. For as bad as the two Reckoning movies are, I was surprised to find a number of plot points borrowed from Metal Gear! Most especially Sons of Liberty and Guns of the Patriots. They aren't handled nearly as artfully or meaningfully as Kojima did, but gave me an interesting sense of deja vu.

I actually saw loads of people on MGS Twitter comparing the two when logged onto the forum's account. Though they seemed a lot more positive about it than you I won't lie.

I've never actually seen any of the Mission Impossible films. I have wanted to check them out.
