Mission: Impossible III

Pros: Hoffman. Interesting, entertaining plot.
Cons: Not much character development. Mystery/suspense could have been stronger.

I went to see Mission: Impossible and Mission: Impossible II when they came out in theaters and I did like both movies. I had seen some of the old television series that I enjoyed as well as a newer version of the show that didn’t last ...

Pros: lots of action, well developed story, stays true to television show, very suspenseful, Hoffman
Cons: none really

The world is at risk, and Ethan Hunt has been called back into action to deal with a situation that only he can resolve. Resigned to finding life after his position with Impossible Mission Forces (IMF), he has become a teacher/trainer rather than a ...

Pros: Great cast, lots of action
Cons: Shaky cinematography

Often in action movie trilogies, by the time you get to the third one it is pretty bad, but I thought Mission: Impossible III was the best one so far. The first movie was hard to follow and the second one was way over the top, but this latest ...

Pros: JJ Abrams finally gets the MI thing right; teamwork, action, effects...
Cons: Still too Cruisecentric.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the first two "Mission Impossible" movies. They had some great action sequences in them, but both eliminated the team concept that I loved about both "MI" television series, and instead focused all the attention on agent ...

Pros: thrilling stunts, great baddy
Cons: talky, derivative

The long-awaited MI:III is neither great nor awful. It is, instead, as mixed and complicated a bag as the War on Terror, though for reasons that have more to do with the script and direction than the comic-book political-thriller-lite that originally ...

Pros: Action scenes, character development, pacing
Cons: None worth mentioning

Big action movie? Check. Lots of stunts and special effects? Check. Big name lead in the title role? Check. Must be the first weekend of May, also known as the first weekend of summer blockbuster season. As Mission: Impossible III opens, ...

Pros: J.J. Abrams & Co.'s script.  Nice supporting cast.  Great villain.
Cons: Other than the usual Hollywood lack of realism in movies like this, none.

Even though Paramount Pictures' Mission: Impossible movies have been around since 1996 (when Brian De Palma's first adaptation of the old CBS TV series was released), I had made a conscious effort to ignore them.Though I was not a ...

Pros: Great action, decent plot.
Cons: Nothing we haven't seen before.

do da doo da da doo do da doo Bam Bam BOOM BAM BOOM I love the Mission Impossible Theme song, its so cool. Tom Cruise on the other hand, I can take or leave. Nevertheless, everybody's favorite Scientologist and couch bouncer is back for Mission ...

Pros: Straightforward. Solidly told. Doesn't do too much. Solid movie about familiar characters.
Cons: Straightforward. Predictable. Not a huge wow factor.

Making a good film sequel is a tricky task. The very reasons that demand a sequel are part of its downfall. The original is usually a good movie, or popular at the very least. Expectations are thus built in, and while succeeding at the box office often ...

Pros: clever action sequences
Cons: They had to blow up such a nice car.

Its the little things, I think, that make MI3 a worthy see. The little things, such as a nice slow motion camera shot here, a small little joke there, and a little style in the story. MI3 is basically a continuation of a Mission Impossible saga, ...

Pros: Special effects; a few heart-pounding moments; Simon Pegg!!!
Cons: Weak ending; under use of Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Well – I did it. Against my better judgment, and after a weekend of non-stop yard work and Spring cleaning, I went to see Mission: Impossible 3. I expected the movie to be entertaining, but I have a hard time stomaching Tom Cruise these ...

Pros: Plot, characters; and oh yes Tom Cruise.
Cons: A few loose threads in the plot.

Say what you will about Tom Cruise the man, the legend in his own misguided mind, but as an actor there are few better. The man brings an intensity, a bravado, a self-assurance to the screen that few other actors can match. Thought he is a lithe by the ...

Pros: one decent Mission: Impossible-style caper
Cons: no plot, no real cleverness, very generic, goes for guns and speed whenever possible

Mission: Impossible III starts with a scene that, chronologically, belongs about 90% of the way through the movie. It gives away much about what happens to that point, lessening the impact and foreshadowing some of the supposed surprises. I can't ...

Pros: Cruise (usually). Booms. Women.
Cons: Last 20 minutes. Nebulous.

A film should always fulfill its intent, and that is something writer-director J.J. Abrams' does most chivalrously-----up until the last twenty minutes. Generally, when someone walks into a nefariously shallow action-film, they're going to expect ...

Pros: Great action sequences and FX. Snappy dialogue.
Cons: void of swearing - so it seems odd. Implausible parts.

If you're looking for an action-packed thrill ride that's void of any swearing or nudity, this is your ticket. If you're looking to spend $8.25 on a small popcorn and a medium soda... oh wait, everyone does that. Okay, sneak in your own food and drink. ...
