Mission Impossible III, delivers the goods in a big way. It has much more depth ,then the usual Action film.

Rating: 8/10 (5 January 2010)

Mission Impossible 3 is not only,much better then the barely above average,Mission Impossible 2,but it also manages to give a an excellent action film,like Mission Impossible,a worthy sequel. The action sequences are truly a sight to behold. It's honestly been a long time coming,since I have been absolutely floored,by the action sequences. The ingenious,emotional beginning,completely sets the stage for the entire movie,because it makes you wonder,why they are showing part of the finale at the beginning. What really surprised me was the pure emotion,in Mission Impossible 3. The mind games between ,Ethan and Davian ,are very suspenseful,and creates a ton of suspense. We are back to the Ethan we fell in love with in the 1st one. He's not superman anymore,he's not doing any fancy kicks in mid air,or causing chaos with his motorcycle. This Ethan were able to root for,and it's rare in an action film these days,that you care so much about the two central characters. At the time Tom was in a lot of hot water,for his outbursts on drugs and Scientology,along with his couch jumping antics. I personally don't see how that should have affected the box office results.
Tom's charisma can never be denied in my opinion. Whether you like him or not,he attracts movie Goers. It's just a perfectly well made action film,that should please Action lovers all around the world.
Performances. Say what you want about Tom Cruise,but i'm a guy,and even I can proudly say, he is one of my favorite actors. This Ethan is a changed man. We see he Doesen't wanna do what he does anymore,he is through. He's a family man,who loves his wife dearly. It was a great change of pace for Tom,and he pulled it off beautifully,with his charisma. Philip Seymour Hoffman is excellent as the villain. He is brutally cold,and I couldn't take my eyes off of him,when he was on screen. His scenes with Tom were absolutely chilling. Michelle Monaghan is a gorgeous sight to look at,and manages to be a much better option,then Thandie Newton,even though I enjoyed her. She felt more real with Tom,I believed in there love,and most importantly,I rooted for them at the end. Michelle is able to pull off her role,with believability,and conviction. Ving Rhames&Jonathan Rhys Meyers&Maggie Q make a terrific MI crew,for Tom. They all had excellent chemistry together,and I thoroughly enjoyed there performances. Simon Pegg adds some great comic relief,as Benji. Billy Crudup has the most mysterious role. He played it low key,and gave a decent show. Laurence Fishburne is class as always,and managed to inject charisma into his role. Keri Russell does fine,with the screen time she has.
Bottom Line. Mission Impossible 3,is the real sequel if you ask me. It's action packed,with a lot of great emotion,and suspense. Check this one out with confidence,and have a rollicking good time!.
