5. Mission: Impossible III (2006)
More controversy! If you talk to most people, they’d probably agree Mission 2 is the “worst” followed closely by three. But I disagree. Obviously. The main reason is that Ethan Hunt is given an actual backstory here, complete with love interest played by Michelle Monaghan, which adds a whole other layer of emotions. Then, you have Philip Seymour Hoffman playing the villain and J.J. Abrams with suitably dynamic filmmaking that set the tone for the remainder of the franchise. Mission 3? Very good.
