Enjoyable, but some of it is very uneven!

Rating: 6/10 (15 May 2009)

I am 17, and although Mission Impossible 3 was enjoyable on the most part, there were other parts that were uneven. The film itself is overlong and does drag in a number of long scenes, but it is also explosive and well performed. I don't care for Tom Cruise that much, (he is slightly overrated) but I found his portrayal of Ethan Hunt quite likable. Phillip Seymour Hoffmann is superb as the villain, there are some times when he is very sinister, and he made the most of it. Other than the two leads, both of which added a lot to the movie, the remainder of the characters sadly seemed cardboard, but I don't think the uneven script and sometimes confusing plot helped that much. still, it does have jaw-dropping special effects, and some detailed direction. In conclusion, a slightly disappointing film, though fun to watch. 6/10 Bethany Cox.
