M:I3 was supposed to be a sure hit - sadly it was J.J. Abrams' own Battlecruiser that got sunk.

Rating: 5/10 (26 May 2009)

Philip Seymor Hoffman is a great actor and Tom Cruise still has "it" - the in-your-face -kind of a screen presence. Yeah, the cast is a good one but the movie leaves you completely hanging when it comes down to the plot - or rather the absence of one.
Ethan Hunt goes on a rampage to save his wife but why the wife has been kidnapped, I do not know. Something about some important stuff Ethan has to steal for the bad guy... don't really know or care.
Somehow the film really left me empty and not in any good sense of the word. The film just flashed on and off the screen; a couple of explosions and some shooting, some tech-jargon (Simon Pegg does a really bad role as the nerdy tech guy/comic relief) and trying-too-hard -to-be-witty -dialog.
M:I3 was supposed to be a sure hit - sadly it was J.J. Abrams' own Battlecruiser that got sunk. 2/4
