Home Run

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2006)

Finally, an action movie with lots action, witty dialog, cool characters and very neat toys. JJ Abrams has certainly breathed news life into the series. It's an exciting 2 solid hours of non- stop action. The characters are fresh, likable and cool. I only wish we had more Phillip Seymore Hoffman. He's so good at being bad. Even Tom Cruise is back to being likable. Paramount really has hit a home run with this one. Go ahead and order your tickets now. Sell out crowds for the weekend for sure. What a way to kick off the summer movie season! I can only hope that subsequent summer flicks can measure up to this one. Last summer there were weekends with nothing worth seeing. Go see MI3. I'd pay to see it again.
