Mission possible ??

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2006)

Gone are the days of MI, where Tom Cruise was going to hang himself upside down to steal an obscured spy list. Gone are the days when Tom Cruise was going to present a high flying action thriller. MI:III is just disappointing. The good thing is that there may not be anymore MI movies, because if the trend it is to be believed it just gets worse every time. True MI: III may be just better than its predecessor, but still its disappointing. I mean can you believe that the director affords a 3 minute sequence where Ethan Hunt simply stares at his fiancée/wife telling her to trust him. The action is still pretty much same as its predecessor. Full of unbelievable stunts, but the one single one with Agent Hunt falling from the roof is just getting boring right now.
In this sequel we actually get to see how IMF agents make the masks to conceal their identities and go undercover, and although Ethan Hunt may have met his greatest adversary in Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffmann), it still leaves much to be desired. Michelle Monaghan is just superb as Tom Cruise's love interest. Keri Russel also turns out to be decent as Hunt's apprentice, and fellow IMF agent. Ving Rhames as usual is superb in his small part. His witty replies keep the humor rolling. Laurence Fishbourne is also superb in his small role as The head of IMF. Jonathan Rhys Myer is also impressive in his small role, along with Rhames he keeps the humor rolling. Maggie Q does a small cameo as the elusive sexy IMF agent seducing Davian. But overall it leaves a lot to be desired. Screenplay is satisfactory but you don't come to watch a MI movie to be impressed with dialogs.
A very disappointing 6/10...
