Not really that great...

Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2006)

M:I 3 is a movie that has a lot to live up to. But in the end, it doesn't live up to any of it. The movie isn't smart, nor stunning, neither are there mind blowing action sequences involved. Its all very by the numbers and predictable, with really nothing special. And Tom Cruise is really looking way too smug throughout the movie (he should stop with the retarded action flicks and do something good, like born on the fourth or magnolia). M:I 1 was the best mission impossible film, and then it went down hill from there. This might be even worse than the second one, because at least the second one had some crazy action sequences going on. Some reviewers have said that the movie has amazing action, but i don't know what they are talking about. if you've been living in a cave for a long time, maybe then yes, this movie has amazing action, if not, then half the scenes seem reminiscent of james bond, and even entrapment! so basically there's nothing new on offer here as far as the plot or action is concerned...and the acting is pretty average too, except for Hoffman, who does a somewhat evil version of Capote, without the voice (of course). So if you decide to what this movie expecting something special, you will walk away with a lingering sense of disappointment. but if you just want to kill some time, i guess you could do worse...
