J.J. Abrams is the real star

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2006)

Tom Cruise? Been there, done that. We all know he's a solid Ethan Hunt. In the third MI installment, Alias director, J.J. Abrams outshines his star studded cast with brilliant, fast-paced direction. Nothing hurts a movie goer more than seeing a film that is 2 hours or more and feeling like it was, well 2 hours or more. No muss, no fuss, J.J. gets you to strap in and hold on for your life as Ethan and his cohorts travel the globe to find a ruthless Phillip Seymore Hoffman. So far, it's been the best movie of 2006 far surpassing other so-called blockbusters which will remain nameless. But, Ron Howard, Brett Ratner, and Bryan Singer, you should be ashamed because J.J. Abrams has put together a better film than you gentlemen this summer of 2006.
