Big improvement, big!

Rating: 7/10 (31 October 2006)

I wasn't really into seeing the third Mission Impossible, because the first two in my opinion were just a mirror for Tom Cruise to look into and admire himself, but my boyfriend really wanted to see it and we rented it, I figured that I should just give it a chance. Actually, I'd have to say honestly that I actually liked Mission Impossible 3 the best out of the series, it had a real story and believable stunts.
This time Ethan has a serious girlfriend turned wife, but he must keep his identity a secret from her, which obviously isn't that easy. But he wants to retire and live a normal life, but in his last mission he meets Owan, a politician who wants a "rabbit foot", not that kind of a rabbit foot, looks more like a bomb. When Ethan kidnaps him and almost kills him, Owan manages an escape and wants revenge and will make sure that Ethan's wife's last words will be his name.
Despite the fact that it was an interesting turn to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman as a villain, I have to admit that he was a good one. Still, I felt that the story could've been more, but like I said, this felt like a huge improvement from the first two, not to mention that Tom Cruise had a lot to make up for post jumping on couch to, well, you get the idea. But I would recommend the third Mission Impossible for a fun action flick.
