Suddenly, Doves. Hundreds of them.

Rating: 2/10 (24 April 2012)

Honestly, I love to watch movies and I love to write reviews. Normally I don't sit there and harp on what I hated about a movie. I'll complain but I try to remain objective.
That said I must begin by saying that I actually fell asleep during this movie.
The first, third and fourth of the M:I series were great but this one was so painful that I almost bypassed M:I 3 on the principle of this movie alone.
I can't give too much detail as I have only seen it twice (I gave it a second try on VHS when it came out and it was just as bad) but compared to the spy vs spy intrigue and plot twists that made the others so fun this movies was so straight forward it was less M:I and more attempt at a summer action movie to rake in a couple million before the real summer blockbusters show up.
As I try to stay positive, I will give it two things: 1) The action sequences, while nothing like the other movies, were very stylized and in any other film - like Face-Off - would have been enjoyable. 2) Doves. Not the doves themselves, but they really had fun trying to be stylish with their cinematography. Any they succeeded in many cases I recall, they just were NOT good for this movie. To compare, try to imagine Wes Anderson directing The Bourne Identity...
It was for those two reasons I gave it a 2. Certainly not the WORST movie I've ever seen, but certainly within striking distance of Poltergeist 3
