My favorite in the series...I think.

Rating: 8/10 (11 May 2006)

I liked this movie quite a lot and I think it is my favorite. Why do I say think? Because the first two were fun to watch, but were not what you would call memorable movies. This one may not be either so I had better review it now lest I forget it and just say it was entertaining, but I don't remember much about it. This one has Ethan Hunt being tortured with his wife about to be killed before him right at the get go. It then shifts to an early time and this was a very nice plot device because I was actually curious to see how he got into that predicament and how he would get out of it. There is a rather cool rescue scene and another where our team must try to capture a weapons dealer. There is one good action scene after another quite frankly and this time Ethan Hunt has a good IMF team behind him and they actually seem to be helpful. This one also has a very good bad guy a few twists along the way (though nothing to hard to figure out) and it has a rather interesting part of the movie where Hunt is getting something for the bad guy but you never get to see any of it except before he enters the building and when he abruptly leaves said building. This movie is not without its flaws, however, to me it was the best one of the series and one heck of an action movie...at least I think I liked it more than the other two.
