Awesome!!!!
posted on 22 Aug 2009I am a big fan of the Mission Impossible series but not a Tom Cruise fan. He has, however, starred in two of my other favorite movies, Vanilla Sky and War of the Worlds, I didn't go to see these movies because of him, its just that he happened to be the star. Mission Impossible Three, or MI3 if you work in advertising, is an excellent movie, action packed, visual effects and stunts by the boatload and what i believe--is the best in the series. Sadly, it is also the one that made the least amount of money (150mil or something) and in Hollywood, that means there wont be a MI4. MI3 is an action movie fan's dream come true. It has some crazy stunts that are the hallmark of this type of series (James Bond and now, Jason Bourne) it has amazing special effects, i still cant figure out how he leaped from skyscraper to skyscraper, which-mind you-was awesome! The plot is good too, a double spy, who's zooming who kind of thing-which isn't to say thats a plot point because again, its the hallmark of these types of movies-in other words, you expect there to be awesome stunts, awesome special effects and an awesome double agent-which you get in MI3 tenfold. This movie came out when Tom was self-imploding, but i don't care about someones personal life-i just want your movies/music/TV/book to entertain me. MI3 does exactly that for over two hours. It is well worth your while to rent this movie-(i bought a copy and have seen it three times. MI3 is a good movie, period.
alias gets not lost in M.I. 3
posted on 20 Aug 2009Saw the movie today on the big screen... this is, by far, the best M.I. up till now.Putting J.J. Abrams in charge was the best choice made concerning this movie. If you know Alias and Lost, you can imagine what he can do with a big budget like the one this film has.It's 2 hours of adrenaline that splashes of the screen. The actor's are good, the story is good, the directing is good. Philip Seymour Hoffmanis the best bad guy I've seen in times.Hopefully there will be a M.I. 4 with once again J.J. Abrams in charge. The only thing that is strange is Tom Cruise, any random actor could play this role, but Tom is okay! Maybe the M.I. series will run for years and eventually Tom will be replaced. (just like the 007 series).So now go get your ticket!
more glitz than sanity
posted on 18 Aug 2009Who does this appeal to? Quite a large audience I guess… video game enthusiasts, people who believe that loud music and fireworks serve the good cause of giving the intellect a rest while feeding into their emotional lives. But volume and flashes do not a good movie make particularly in the absence of a plot. What passes for a relationship here is just an excuse for Tom to "macho up" and save the damsel in distress. With more glitz than sanity, nothing gives the audience the nourishment that comes from a credible story, or at least a story that's believable on its own terms. Don't waste your money here, just wait for the DVD.This movie falls into the abyss of most sequels - excellent advertising for an at-best mediocre product.
Average Action Movie
posted on 18 Aug 2009I saw the first Mission Impossible film many years ago and don't ever recall watching the second. As somebody bought me this film as a gift I was inclined to watch it. I was pleasantly surprised.I will make one thing clear from the start - I am not much of a fan of Tom Cruise. Basically, that is due to Tom Cruise as a person and not for his acting abilities. However, this is not the place to get into that, I want to talk about the movie.This film is your usual run-of-the-mill action thriller. I adore action thrillers and I would place this one about average - I've seen worse and I've seen better.The fact that I am not familiar with the second film didn't prevent me from enjoying this film at all. I didn't think it was necessary to have seen the others to get entertainment value out if this.The story wasn't very original but the action scenes more than made up for this. I took an instant dislike to the villain and was very pleased to witness his demise at the end, especially in the manner it happened - the guy deserved nothing better! The ending pointed strongly to the making of a fourth movie, something I eagerly anticipate and has also given me the desire to watch the second film.All in all, not bad at all but don't go expecting anything too special.Beware of three-footed rabbits by the way!
Fuses the good things from the first two and leaves out the bad....mostly.
posted on 14 Aug 2009Just finished watching this movie and I feel bittersweet about it.I (unlike many people) actually enjoyed the first Mission. I liked the complicated plot twists, the subtle but stylish aura and the teamwork involved in executing the assignment. I (like most people) hated the second Mission because they threw out all of what made the first one good and left me with over-the-top, gratuitous action. So I entered the third Mission, hoping for something better than the second but did not have my hopes up.I must tell you, I was very satisfied while I watched this. The filmmakers did the right thing by taking what was good from the two previous Missions, and fused them together to established a nice, healthy balance in this third installment. There was the plot twists and turns and the double-crossings as you might expect, but not done in an overly complicated matter. It was paced nicely such that most people can catch on and follow. It once again brought back the team element of the first and the stylish execution of the missions that we were accustomed to. And it complimented this with a healthy dose of action that was typical of movies of this nature but without getting too ridiculous. Add in a nice mix of the exotic settings of Europe and Asia, scattered injections of humor, slick directing and quality acting, and you have a pleasantly entertaining movie that would satisfy both the mindless and the intellectual. These good elements co-existed in the movie. It was doing very well...*** SPOILER WARNING ***...then they shredded that balance in the final act. The movie completely goes off track with a final scene that was straight out of left field and totally out of place for the context of this movie. I shall vent my frustration of what exactly it is that I was disappointed with in the forums. But what was holding together as a solid entertaining action film was somewhat ruined by this inclusion.*** END OF SPOILER ***But when all said and done, the movie gets a 7 out of 10 from me as most of the movie was satisfying. It is a weak 7 due to what I mention in my "SPOILER". But I feel overall that they've steered the franchise in the right direction. Hopefully, they will improve on what they did in this one for the next Mission.
Mission Accomplished
posted on 12 Aug 2009What a way to start the summer season of blockbusters! The opening sequence, Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt tied to a chair struggling to fight the bonds on his hands, sets the pace for the next 125 minutes of pure adrenaline. We are transported to the world of beautiful locations - Vatican City, Rome and Shanghai; drones firing missiles into the Chesapeake Bay Bridge; leaps onto and off of skyscrapers; and; of course, a dangling Ethan Hunt. Philip Seymour Hoffman gives a standout performance. His performance oozes evil. One complaint I have is that I wish there were more scenes showing off Hoffman's nastiness. Besides Hoffman, the movie has a cast of great actors; including Laurence Fishburne, Billy Crudup and Ving Rhames, but because of the story were only given a limited time to show their skills. I shouldn't complain, though, too much time spent on characters would have meant too little time spent on blowing something up. One thing J.J. Abrams made sure of was that there were a lot of explosions. A good blockbuster should allow fun, action, and escapism. M:i:III delivers.
Mission Accomplished!
posted on 10 Aug 2009I just got back from seeing M:i:III, and I'm still breathing hard. This was quite simply one of the best action movies ever made, behind only The Fifth Element and S.W.A.T. for me.Pace: Perfect. Absolutely perfect. So perfect, in fact, that there's nothing more to say.Draw-you-in-ness: Also superb - towards the end of the movie I found myself almost throwing Ethan's punches. Cruise captures the character far better than he did in M:i:II, and the villain is chillingly portrayed as pure unadulterated evil.Suspense: Only in the last few minutes will you finally be able to figure out where everyone's loyalties lie. Every scene throws a new shocker at you, and you'll find yourself wondering which way to turn.Effects: Things are supposed to blow up in M:i movies, and you won't be disappointed. The effects are nothing special, but when things blow up it looks realistic.The only reason this doesn't get a 10 from me is the totally extraneous and unnecessary political shot fired in one scene, and the somewhat formula plot. Still absolutely superb, and worth every penny - as long as you don't miss a second of it. If you do, catching up simply isn't happening.
Good movie, hate the shaky cam
posted on 10 Aug 2009I really like the mi series and anyone who likes action should as well. It is everything that James Bond meant to me as a kid. My negatives of the movie is that It has the shaky camera effect as did Bourne supremacy - I think this technique is a real cop out, It may just be me but I cant see what is happening and with special effects so good these days it is unnecessary . Hoffman was amazing and should have had a bigger part. Anyway if you like action movies go and see it. Tom Cruise is a real professional when it comes to these types of movies and it shines through.
This movie gives you reason to cheer for the bad guys
posted on 10 Aug 2009I've seen swiss cheese with less plot holes than this story. Um, can anyone tell me what happens between the moment that "Ethan" lands on the building that houses the rabbit's foot and then suddenly appears crashing through a window??? I'm pretty sure they had the budget - OK, no there is NO QUESTION they had the budget.. so why did we avoid this sequence which would have (in my eyes) been a very intriguing super-heroic example of why Ethan is a demigod (although at this point, if you're going to put Tom Cruise in it, you might as well put aliens in as well as part of the back up team).. and yet, no sequence, just some random phone conversation. This dull action non-action movie (and I'm a girl who loves 5th Element and the Transporter) was heavy on the emotional "choosing marriage" scenes - there were people laughing out loud during Tom's crocodile tears scene. I mean, it felt like a personal ad about why he's choosing to settle down in a rustic Scientologist family life (hah!). The best thing about this movie was cool chick from KISS KISS BANG BANG (who, other than Lawrence with his awesome scowl, was the best actor in this with a stupid role written by someone who obviously thinks that nurses are people who don't have access to the internet and wouldn't notice their husbands coming home scarred and messed up). The "big action sequence" was so horribly shot that (and nonsensical) that there was little scope of the bridge, no explanation why Tom was the only one able to run around and even less rationale in HOW they failed to notice and respond to the set up. Did action heroes need to be portrayed as stupid people, is that it? And if I wanted to see a not-so-cleverly disguised ad for why short actors who subscribe to cult theory are choosing to show off their pro-marital (with a way younger woman which is suspect to begin with), I'd go into a Dianetics center! Geez, what's next? Battlefield Earth part 2 by Tom?
Lived Up To The Hype: Very Entertaining
posted on 10 Aug 2009I heard nothing but good things about this movie, so I rented it the first day it was available recently.....and I wasn't disappointed. Oh, it does have a bit too much action and a few politically-correct annoyances but neither are much and overall the movie is a lot of fun to watch.The action scenes are not only interesting; they're spectacular at times. Overall, the photography is slick. It's a good visual movie. Not only the cinematography, but the director did a nice job with many of these shots. The version doesn't have all the gimmicks the first Misssion Impossible film, but it certainly has the best action scenes. The only bad movie of the three MIs was the second one. This one makes up for that.All the characters are interesting. Philip Seymour Hoffman, as usual, is excellent as the main villain "Owen Damien." Michelle Monaghan makes for an attractive fiancée of Cruise in this movie, but her role is not a major one. Cruise's "team" is fun to watch: a PC group consisting of a white guy, black guy and Asian woman.The action is improbable as Cruise's "Ethan Hunt" would have to be Superman to perform the stunts and acrobatics he does here. (I would never claim this movie is credible, or even "intelligent" - just escapist fun.)Just put your brains on hold, and go along for the wild ride. The name of the game is entertainment, and this movie provides it in spades, hence the good rating.
Tom is Ethan
posted on 08 Aug 2009Things went good. Things went bad. Things went good. Things went bad. Good Bad Good bad good bad goo....There was a lot to like with this movie, there was action, there were villains, there were surprises, there were bombs and explosions and lots of gunfire. The blocking was well paced. There was romance, there was friendships and exotic locations. All the things were there for a great action film, and then some. You do have to somehow get past one thing: Tom Cruise. Once you get past the bias, and a few moment when Tom gets almost pathetically weepy at times, you can enjoy it. Tom is the MIF franchise owner it seems. Make no mistake about it, it's about Tom and his faithful character Ethan Hunt. Yes you have a fabulous villain played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, a nefarious supplier of some of the most lethal weapons known to man to anyone who will meet his price. He doesn't like to be screwed with. But you know inevitably it does, and bad things happen. Many reviews have said it better than I have, but I fully agree with the aggregate masses: Don't look for anything deep in this - It's strictly action. You may see some subtle parallels with some scenes, like the statement that if you destroy one bad person, three or more are willing to take that place and your problems grow, but the style, the filming and yes, the acting when all put together make for a pretty damn good Disney Theme park ride. Find a theater that sells good popcorn and beer, I'm sure you won't regret it.
I liked it
posted on 08 Aug 2009What's with all the trash talk? This is really a fun movie. Alright, I get it, the star is a crazy couch jumper and cult slave... but who cares. OK, moving onto the movie: I liked it. It had everything an action movie needs, speed, humor, a little things that made sense, some things that made no sense (what's so shocking? It's Mission Impossible after all!!) Anyway, I really liked it and can only recommend it. Only point taken is for the shaky camera (sometimes a bit annoying) and the fact that we never get to see Ethan actually getting the rabbit's foot nor what it is anyway. But other than that, it's a fun action film and good enough to enjoy while chewing down the popcorn. Don't expect a documentary on true spy life. This is supposed for entertaining purposes only, and it does.... entertain. (The "revival scene" was a bit much of a stretch for suspend of disbelief though.).The villain is some ice-cold bastard but could have been given more screen time. The love scenes don't really work but are still sweet. And the motorcycle scene at sunrise is just fodder for good old times...
Mission possible ??
posted on 08 Aug 2009Gone are the days of MI, where Tom Cruise was going to hang himself upside down to steal an obscured spy list. Gone are the days when Tom Cruise was going to present a high flying action thriller. MI:III is just disappointing. The good thing is that there may not be anymore MI movies, because if the trend it is to be believed it just gets worse every time. True MI: III may be just better than its predecessor, but still its disappointing. I mean can you believe that the director affords a 3 minute sequence where Ethan Hunt simply stares at his fiancée/wife telling her to trust him. The action is still pretty much same as its predecessor. Full of unbelievable stunts, but the one single one with Agent Hunt falling from the roof is just getting boring right now.In this sequel we actually get to see how IMF agents make the masks to conceal their identities and go undercover, and although Ethan Hunt may have met his greatest adversary in Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffmann), it still leaves much to be desired. Michelle Monaghan is just superb as Tom Cruise's love interest. Keri Russel also turns out to be decent as Hunt's apprentice, and fellow IMF agent. Ving Rhames as usual is superb in his small part. His witty replies keep the humor rolling. Laurence Fishbourne is also superb in his small role as The head of IMF. Jonathan Rhys Myer is also impressive in his small role, along with Rhames he keeps the humor rolling. Maggie Q does a small cameo as the elusive sexy IMF agent seducing Davian. But overall it leaves a lot to be desired. Screenplay is satisfactory but you don't come to watch a MI movie to be impressed with dialogs.A very disappointing 6/10...
a movie worthy of its title
posted on 08 Aug 2009Tom Cruse returns to the never boring world of mission impossible. Given the success of the other mission impossible movies you would never expect this one to over come the bar, but surprisingly it dose. I'm not the biggest Tom Cruse fan but this movie is a splendid mix of action, romance and puzzles, with twists at ever corner. Ethan Hunt has being assigned to retrieve a captured agent, strait after the mission, lies and secrets start to unfold, making Ethan having, to once again, save the world. Also for all you 'Lost' fans, look out for the lost secret somewhere in the movie. I won't give it away, but look carefully. Mission impossible 3 is a thrilling movie that is worth seeing. If you liked the other Mission Impossible movies or just looking for a good time that will leave your heart pumping then this movie is for you!
Classic espionage thriller
posted on 08 Aug 2009This movie definitely should be considered a classic. There hasn't been a memorable secret agent themed action thriller in years, but hopefully this film will inspire future spy flicks to be as great.It's always the same nowadays, secret agent meets girl, trashes lair, and kills bad guy. Don't get me wrong, clichés are what keep the film industry alive, but in order to make them memorable you have to add an interesting twist. M:I:3 does just that. The story follows Ethan Hunt, currently out of danger as an IMF training instructor. But when a madman kidnaps a close friend of Ethan's, he volunteers to rescue her. His personal connection with te damsel in distress traps him in a personal feud with Owen Davien, the film's villain. But when Ethan gets to close to Davien, Davien targets his one weakness: Ethan's girlfriend. Ethan Hunt is no longer portrayed as a green recruit or an invincible Bondian figure, but as a regular guy torn between to lives: Your everyday, average, male, and a super secret agent.The story isn't about saving the world, it seems a bit like 24 to me, especially the climactic showdown and Hunt's ultra motivated and sometimes ruthless personality. THe film also has many great action scenes and stunts, Swinging from buildings, automated fighter planes attacking a bridge, and lots of shootouts. Davien(played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman) is a living dictionary definition of the word evil, and Hoffman's performance as a deranged arms dealer is excellent. He's a believable bad guy who seems disturbingly real. Ving Rhames, Jonathan Reece Meyers and Maggie Q provide excellent supporting rolls, as does Michelle Mohnagan. I recommend this for anyone looking for a new type of spy-themed action thriller with a good storyline.
The movies improve over time
posted on 02 Aug 2009The Mission Impossible movies improve over time. If one watches the first compared to the others one can notice the gradual improvement in the film series. MI3 did not work in two ways. The ending with the two bosses who was the real traitor, I was confused with the video replay, the movie never explains the plot twist. Too many different, characters, I found slows down the film's development. MI3 works in 3 others ways. The character of Ethan Hunt develops more and the viewer finds out that Hunt is a loyal,compassionate man who never quits. The fast pace is a credit for the director who generates the film's intensity. The stunts were better and more entertaining if one watches the other to MIs. A decent summer flick. A rebound for Cruise after War of the Worlds. Definitely rent. 7 out of 10
Stupid Film!!
posted on 02 Aug 2009I can't understand a spy mission carried by a lot of attractive persons. Especially that hot Asian woman, Its stupid to see her taking spies photos of the sooo very male villain, with a red bright dress, revealing her long sexy, beautiful gorgeous legs, and pretending to play - girl concern of her make up...isn't that so catchy!! I don't know i just loose it, because all of this minor stupid things. What about Tom Cruise athletic body transform into a fat villain, all i see in the movie is the face transformation, not the whole thing...again that is stupid! O yeah that terrorist scene happening in the bridge...so much simmilair to the True Lies scene yeah...o man so unoriginal!!
Lots of explosions no substance
posted on 31 Jul 2009If your idea of an action movie is limited character development, not much dialog a weak storyline BUT with lots of fancy stunts and things exploding. Then MI-III is the film for you.However if you like even a minimal amount of intelligent dialog, character development a more detailed plot and reason for these characters to be engaged in this high octane behavior then MI-III fails dismally.There was the weak, extended and boring party scene early on that only served to highlight Ethan (Tom Cruise) loves his wife to be so very much and he can read lips. Plus everyone smiles a lot and all go to the same great dentist.Oh yeah Ethan loves his wife to be so much that an out of the blue mission to save a former female infatuation of his results in Ethan accepting the mission almost immediately.Such love but I guess that childish paternalism with a former employee is greater than your new life with the most important person in your life right? Oh well I guess the film would have stopped there had he refused the assignment, so off we go on a wild goose chase for some "holy grail", "preperation H", "rabbits foot", "mojo" "x" who cares? who knows? nobody it's just an excuse to break into places and blow things up.I saw it on the big screen and can only imagine how boring and shallow such a production would look watching on small screen.The overall impression I had was a shallow story, nothing to drag you in and keep you hooked. Zero suspense nothing had me on the edge of my seat not even once. Cardboard cutout characters would have more life than the ones developed in MI-III.Unless you really like things exploding and watching Tom run, you'd probably get more enjoyment burning your money.
great action movie
posted on 29 Jul 2009well, i'm not a fan of MI neither of Tom Cruise and I must admit i was pretty scared about seeing a TV guy making an action movie. Well, some details are quite naive and some twists in the script are kind of annoying, but the rhythm of the movie + action are really brilliant. All the fashion effects (slow motion, blurs, handy cam), often boring, are well made, and action is very over the top and inventive and believable in the same time. Well, I love blockbusters, and this one is pretty decent. Hope you will keep in mind the bridge + Vatican sequences, which are truly enjoyable. Some people will say bad things about the all "anti-terrorist" thing, which remind a little bit of the James Bond times. But even the terrorist aspect is intelligent enough to be accepted as a simple background matter. The movie has to be considered as a remake of TRUE LIES, in better. I'm a huge James Cameron fan but True Lies is so stupid i couldn't watch it. The bridge sequence in MI III refers to the one in true, lies, except you don't have here any stupid jokes or racist visions of Arab people. The movie goes fast, J.J. has been intelligent enough to use Lalo Shiffrin original score as the very core of the movie. That makes a brilliant soundtrack, even if stolen, for a pretty good action packed movie. Hope you'll enjoy that.
Follow the white rabbits foot
posted on 24 Aug 2009Given the amount of time and money given to make Lost, its no longer such a stretch for a TV director to make a multi million dollar film.Once the lightweight plot framework is in place, the film takes off. By the first twenty minutes, the film had already eclipsed its prequels. The action scenes make sense, the pace is unrelenting and its all very noisy. Hoffman is, of course, vile and Simon Pegg is, of course, geeky. In fact the action scenes carry real menace and not a little brutality.Cruise is his normal gnomic self. While anyone could carry out the hero role, Cruise does not offend. Like the Rabbits foot he is silly prop that you need to keep the film rolling. Roll on number 4.
