Mission: Impossible III

A very good addition to the series. A great movie after the first one. MI:II is must not be considered an MI movie, but this one here builds the foundation to take the series further. We get an insight of Hunt's life. The driving force of the MI series is Hunt's dilemmas. The movie begins to get into the MI universe with showing us what Hunt is made of and why he chooses what he chooses in the next films. The actions were a plus point, very few overuse of action is encountered. The action were basic nevertheless. But still the movie gives away many of Hunt's super spy skills like lip reading and webslinging across building. Got to say, Hunt is very lucky to survive so many life and death situation.

The acting was on point, the other characters other than Hunt hadn't have any significant challenges in acting considering the calibre of them. Tom Cruise grew as an actor and it showed if his performance from first two filmshas to be considered. I wish the movie was less predictable and avoided the cliches. It's a good movie to pass your time.

"Mission: Impossible 3 marks a thrilling comeback for the franchise, skillfully blending intense action with authentic emotional depth. Directed by J. J. Abrams, the film elevates the stakes as Ethan Hunt, portrayed masterfully by Tom Cruise, faces his most personal mission yet.

The narrative seamlessly weaves high-octane action sequences with a compelling story, as Hunt battles a ruthless arms dealer, played brilliantly by Philip Seymour Hoffman. The chemistry between the characters adds a layer of depth that enhances the overall experience, making each moment feel consequential.

From jaw-dropping stunts to nail-biting suspense, the film is a masterclass in pacing and tension. The iconic theme returns with a fresh twist, heightening the adrenaline rush throughout. With its blend of heart, humor, and heart-stopping thrills, Mission: Impossible 3 reinvigorates the series, leaving audiences eager for more. This installment not only sets a high bar for action films but also reminds us why we fell in love with Ethan Hunt's adventures in the first place."

Again I'm writing about a movie genre that I like very much. This is the first from the new generation of mission impossible movies. Differently from the second one Ethan appears to be more connected an dependent on his friends and his team. In a good way. The character is more realistic and emotional, he's afraid for his wife and you can see he's emotionally disturbed in the appropriate parts, but even then his skills are more than enough to solve the problems. But it's again more realistic than the second one in this aspect too. Footage is improved and there's a nice combination of fast cars, beautiful women and nice clothes and landscapes. But in a certain way, they seem to give less importance to that than they do in 007's movies. Action is the main goal here.

Not bad at all. After the John Woo craptastic crapfest that was MI2, Lost creator JJ Abrams takes over and makes a flick that is at least as good as the first one, possibly better in some respects. Some real surprises early in the flick start things off fast, and it keeps up the pace pretty well from there on. Sure, it's mostly same-old same-old, but it was fun and action-packed. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was fine as a villain, but was really not even in the movie that much. Tom Cruise was just Tom Cruise as usual, but for two hours I was able to forget about all his offscreen stupidity. You know what this really felt like? 24: The Movie. ...which they are apparently going to make. It should end up being much like MI3, and I think that'd be just fine.

Phillip seymour hoffman is the best villain in this series too.
