Filled with Action and Suspense,

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2012)

Mission: Impossible III is a terrific movie with a very well developed plot and an outstanding cast. The first two films were formulaic, average action films, this is when the franchise started to really find its place. Delivering on its potential, this movie is truly special from any other action, it will keep you at the edge of your seat from start to finish, as well as truly having you care for these characters. The stakes are higher this time as a result of being more grounded, instead of Ethan Hunt having to save the whole world, like in the second film, he instead merely has to keep his wife safe, it's far more personal, making it more concerning for us as an audience.
It does take a while to get going, while I do appreciate the time it takes to develop the characters, there does come a certain point where we just want to get on with the action. I just do not think it needed to have as much dialogue heavy scenes as it did.
The cast is phenomenal, all delivering performances that are significantly more powerful than your typical action film. Tom Cruise is as great as ever as Ethan Hunt, boasting great chemistry with Michelle Monaghan, and Simon Pegg serves as excellent comic relief. As well as that, Phillip Seymour Hoffman is spellbinding as the films antagonist, he is thrilling and immensely intense in every scene, a realistic villain that grabbed me from start to finish.
The franchise finally finds its place, and it is a great place to be. Action packed and very engrossing, Mission: Impossible III is a stellar movie that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good action or thriller.
After getting engaged, Ethan Hunt is put in to conflict with a ruthless arms dealer, putting his fianceé in danger in the process.
Best Performance: Tom Cruise
