Third time is the charm for this spy thriller franchise

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2011)

This franchise is slightly becoming similar to 007 franchise in a way where the sequels doesn't really relate with the previous movie in the same franchise. Which is a good thing in this case since M:I 2 wasn't a good movie, nor does the female protagonist Ethan fought tooth and nails for in the second movie make a appearance. To sum it up this is a brand new set up with Ethan Being involved with the IMF. But to some degree I guess it can be a sequel to the first movie though. Lets just think of M:I 2 as non-canon to the franchise, I personally think it's for the better. It seems the franchise is back to it's root of being a good spy thriller with a good mash up of action in it. The twist and turns isn't anything spectacular but it's still a entertaining action thrill ride that isn't just about the action either. Tom Cruise is plays Ethan Hunt as a cool agent while not being way too over the top with it. And Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a pretty darn good villain, I mean he isn't one of the best movie villains or anything like that. But he does really well with what he is given in this movie. The plot and everything else just goes in a direction where it's more entertaining than the previous 2 films. Now this movie is a great mix of spy thriller and action.
8.3/10
