great action movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 May 2006)

well, i'm not a fan of MI neither of Tom Cruise and I must admit i was pretty scared about seeing a TV guy making an action movie. Well, some details are quite naive and some twists in the script are kind of annoying, but the rhythm of the movie + action are really brilliant. All the fashion effects (slow motion, blurs, handy cam), often boring, are well made, and action is very over the top and inventive and believable in the same time. Well, I love blockbusters, and this one is pretty decent. Hope you will keep in mind the bridge + Vatican sequences, which are truly enjoyable. Some people will say bad things about the all "anti-terrorist" thing, which remind a little bit of the James Bond times. But even the terrorist aspect is intelligent enough to be accepted as a simple background matter. The movie has to be considered as a remake of TRUE LIES, in better. I'm a huge James Cameron fan but True Lies is so stupid i couldn't watch it. The bridge sequence in MI III refers to the one in true, lies, except you don't have here any stupid jokes or racist visions of Arab people. The movie goes fast, J.J. has been intelligent enough to use Lalo Shiffrin original score as the very core of the movie. That makes a brilliant soundtrack, even if stolen, for a pretty good action packed movie. Hope you'll enjoy that.
