You will forget about the popcorn

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2006)

I only have two criticisms of this movie. The first is that the title has 4 'i's in a row. M i:iii. Something should have been done about this. Secondly, there is a conversation in the beginning of the movie where Tom Cruise uses the word 'literally' and pronounces it lit-rly which seems out of character to me. Aside from those arbitrary discrepancies, this movie is amazing. I know John Woo is a celebrated director, but the second M:I is the worst one of the series. This is the sequel that should have been. This movie showed me that I had forgotten what suspense is. My girlfriend had to look away from the screen because she was so nervous. My sister spent the entire movie bouncing her legs up and down. Even if this movie was just a home movie of Morgan Freeman reading the story out-loud, the film would have still been amazing. This story surpasses the first film's story and the second film isn't even worth mentioning in comparison. There is a scene where action is specifically left unshown, which was a daring but awesome decision.
