Decent Popcorn Flick

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2006)

The theater's volume was incredibly loud during this entire movie, making me wince every time a gun was fired (rest assured, the film had a loud noise every 2.8 seconds or so). MI:3 was a decent popcorn flick, though I was thankful enough to see it in Mexico, and pay $3 instead of $10. What a shame that this couldn't have been a stand-alone film, as everything out nowadays is a sequel or video game. There's a whole mess of brainless, cheesy action scenes and explosions that are fun to watch (good to know if you're an action fan), and a story I found more engaging than the previous two films. Yes, this stuff has been done numerous times before, and better, but MI:3 is decent action cheese. As a summer movie, it ain't bad. See it if you're incredibly bored and depressed.
