Mission Impossible III:Falls Short Compared To The First Two Movies

Rating: 1/10 (10 October 2011)

Mission: Impossible III is the third installment of the spy-themed movie series Mission:Impossible starring Tom Cruise,who once again reprises his role of spy agent Ethan Hunt.The film was directed by J. J. Abrams,his first film as a director.
The plot has Ethan Hunt retired as a team leader at the IMF.He has settled into training new recruits while settling down with his fiancée Julia (Michelle Monaghan),who is unaware of Ethan's past. At a party, he is approached by his fellow IMF agent John Musgrave (Billy Crudup),who secretly relays a mission to him: to rescue one of Ethan's protégés, Lindsey Farris (Keri Russell).She was captured while on a mission to investigate the infamous black market dealer Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Musgrave has already prepared a team for him, consisting of Declan Gormley (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), Zhen Lei (Maggie Q), and his old partner Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames), ready to meet him in Berlin. It soon becomes evident that Davian is well-protected, well-connected, and downright malicious as his wife got kidnapped in the process. This forces Hunt to extend his journey back into the field in order to rescue his wife, Julia, and uncover IMF double agents in the process.
I personally felt that the third Mission Impossible has fallen short as compared to the first two.I have to take into consideration for one that this happens to be J.J. Abram's first film.Aside from that,there are less quality acting in this film even with the presence of Philip Seymour Hoffman,who seems more like playing in his role as a villain. Finally,there is nothing spectacular in this third installment of Mission Impossible except for Cruise reprising his character as the world-famous IMF agent.
