The movie has a poor plot, totally predictable and has okie action scenes….

I got migraine watching this film..

Probably better on DVD.

My detailed review HERE.

Nothing too exciting. Nothing too fancy. Nothing to special.

Went to see this against my principles and my better judgment; enjoyed it more than I thought I should. Probably because it was basically Alias: The Movie.

Loved the action and the scenary.

An exciting action film filled with wild stunts, big explosions and a rapid fire two hour run time. Easily the best of the three.

Soooo many interviews with JJ Abrams spouting off about how it’s a character-driven piece, with added action. How it’s about Ethan, and Julia, and their luuuuurve for each other.

Pass the sick bag.

No, not entirely, but the biggest cliche, the most predictable, seen it a hundred times before bit of this movie is: spy trying to have a real relationship and the struggle of keeping secrets from a loved one. Yawn yawn yawn.

Fortunately, for all it’s a “character-driven” film, the mush is waaaay overwhelmed by the action. And the action is fun! M:I-3 goes back more towards the original film (and probably the series, but sorry, am too young to remember that!), bringing back a whole team (albeit one overshadowed by “I’m a superstar” TC) dynamic and gadgets and tricks that are actually believable – well, amazing, but at least seeming to be vaguely in the realms of possibility, unlike film 2.

Explosions galore, TC getting smashed up a bit, car chases and lots and lots of running… shame it’s constantly interupted by shots of the ‘star’ looking broody and/or on the verge of sobbing like a six year old girlie, but still – the explosions! Wooo!!

There isn’t anything really wrong with Mission: Impossible III, but there isn’t anything really bold or surprising either. There are a few action sequences that are great, but I never really cared that much about the characters and it all seemed very calculated. I loved Mission: Impossible II and John Woo basically combined a series of action sequences with a connective tissue that strengthened the relationships built tension between the characters. Tom Cruise is perfect as Ethan Hunt – too perfect. He looks great and moves great and nothing is ever wrong. I couldn’t help but think of 24, which manages to be a bit more exciting covering similar territory, but always keeping the focus on the characters. While the first Mission: Impossible played with the characters and relationships and the second one was structured around the action, the third one carefully balances everything in a nice safe package that I don’t regret opening, but it’s something that I wouldn’t really watch again, unlike the first two in the series.

The only reason I was anxious to see this was because I love the director’s TV shows so much. It was wonderful! The best of the three with suspense that builds over the course of the movie.

Like J.J Abrams’s work, so together with Cruise, this should be a blast!
