A mission you should accept

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2006)

After the disastrous M:I-2 (a film that, along with Die Another Day, nearly ended the spy genre) scepticism was clouding my judgement since what was the point about doing another M:I movie. After hearing reports about the delay in production and the change in director, I started to think that Cruise maybe actually doing something special and after seeing the final product I can safely say that I got more than I expected.
M:I-3 has really hit the nail when it comes to summer blockbuster since they took the already used formula and gave it a new and more fast paced look. Although the film took certain elements from films such as True Lies and certain James Bond video game, I cannot exactly cry plagiarism. Although the film has many fantastical gadgets and over the top scenes, J.J Abrams has fleshed out a good solid blockbuster that will wow audiences of any age and he even adds a character development to the film something that John Woo apparently forgot.
Overall this is pure entertainment that will grab the attention of anyone. Although this movie will not exactly set the spy genre on fire, unlike the Bourne franchise, it will certainly leave appetite for more movies. M:I-4 let it roll
