I very much wish that a movie would come along in the same vein as the original MI movie. It is drastically different in tone and execution than any of the following films. I think a proper Tom Clancy Splinter Cell movie could do it. Movies now unnecessarily revolve around a world ending threat. The NOC list in Mi1 was a great motivating force for the characters to be striving to protect or steal. Now Ethan Hunt is constantly trying to save the world. Stakes which should never be left up to one person.
If you liked the first movie, you might want to check out the TV show. It's the only film that retained much of the DNA from the original series except for the masks of course.
