What happened to the music?

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2006)

First off, I actually liked this film. I'd rank it right behind the first and slightly above the second. The story did seem like a re-hash of the first, though. (Does this count as a spoiler?) Anyway, what had helped make the first two enjoyable was the film score which was almost non-existent the third. The use of the original theme in the first two films (especially in the first) enhanced situations where spy activities were done and served as a reminder that we were watching a Mission Impossible film. This theme was missing here. MI:3 was still a good movie, but it could've been better with more music, more of the original theme and more Philip Seymore Hoffman.
