a leave your brains at the door actioner...

Rating: 5/10 (5 May 2006)

MI III was your typical summer action blockbuster movie. A leave-your-brains-at-the-door kinda movie. It tries to pretend it's a James Bond movie in fact! If you like brain-dead action movies, go see it. If you like looking at Tom Cruise, go see it. If you like a lot of pyrotechnics, go see it. If you wanna see Cruise in another o.k. movie, go see it. But if you're looking for a movie that uses 1 spec of your brain, don't go see it. Philip Seymour Hoffman is o.k. in this movie. Fishburne reminds me of M in the James Bond movies, and Simon Pegg reminds me of a Q. MI III is o.k., it will keep your attention, it has a lot of action, but it doesn't have a lot of plot. Cruise acts like Cruise, he doesn't act like Ethan. I'm glad this movie came out first, just to get it over with. I never had any high expectations for it considering I'm not a huge fan of the movie trilogy.
