Please don't judge the series by the first two movies. By MI:3, it really started to find its footing. Moving from Woo to JJ Abrams was a night and day difference. One and two feel like movies from a different series, honestly. Hell, Cruise doesn't even fire a gun in the first one.
My wife and I are rewatching the movies and doing what someone else mentioned - starting with three. The third one has held up remarkably well. Philip Seymour Hoffman is such a great villain. I know the action set pieces just get bigger and bigger as the movies go on, but it's hard to top three for the raw emotion of the situation with his wife and the back and forth Cruise and Hoffman have.
