Mission: Impossible III

Pros: Action scenes, character development, pacing

Cons: None worth mentioning

The Bottom Line: This is an entertaining action film. A great way to start the summer movie season.

Review: Big action movie? Check. Lots of stunts and special effects? Check. Big name lead in the title role? Check. Must be the first weekend of May, also known as the first weekend of summer blockbuster season. As Mission: Impossible III opens, ...

Pros: action

special effects

acting

fast paced

Cons: a script glitch or two

The Bottom Line: Mission Impossible III is of course in theaters but I had to review it as a DVD since Epinions doesn't recognize it as such. Sorry for the confusion.

Review: We wanted to see The Da Vinci Code but of course, the next three shows were sold out. We, was my oldest son, who lives in Seattle and I who were both in Hollywood to see my youngest son graduate from The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and decided to ...

Pros: Hoffman. Interesting, entertaining plot.

Cons: Not much character development. Mystery/suspense could have been stronger.

The Bottom Line: Mission: Impossible III was a very entertaining addition to the series. For an action movie, it was very good.

Review: I went to see Mission: Impossible and Mission: Impossible II when they came out in theaters and I did like both movies. I had seen some of the old television series that I enjoyed as well as a newer version of the show that didn’t last ...

Pros: lots of action, well developed story, stays true to television show, very suspenseful, Hoffman

Cons: none really

The Bottom Line: The third film in the series blends action with a love story, and a nicely constructed plot that is interesting and exciting at the same time.

Review: The world is at risk, and Ethan Hunt has been called back into action to deal with a situation that only he can resolve. Resigned to finding life after his position with Impossible Mission Forces (IMF), he has become a teacher/trainer rather than a ...

Pros: Great cast, lots of action

Cons: Shaky cinematography

The Bottom Line: This one is as good as the best parts of the first two movies.

Review: Often in action movie trilogies, by the time you get to the third one it is pretty bad, but I thought Mission: Impossible III was the best one so far. The first movie was hard to follow and the second one was way over the top, but this latest ...

Pros: JJ Abrams finally gets the MI thing right; teamwork, action, effects...

Cons: Still too Cruisecentric.

The Bottom Line: This review...well, it probably already self-destructed, so forget it.

Review: I wasn't the biggest fan of the first two "Mission Impossible" movies. They had some great action sequences in them, but both eliminated the team concept that I loved about both "MI" television series, and instead focused all the attention on agent ...

Pros: clever action sequences

Cons: They had to blow up such a nice car.

The Bottom Line: Its a solid action movie.

Review: Its the little things, I think, that make MI3 a worthy see. The little things, such as a nice slow motion camera shot here, a small little joke there, and a little style in the story. MI3 is basically a continuation of a Mission Impossible saga, ...

Pros: Straightforward. Solidly told. Doesn't do too much. Solid movie about familiar characters.

Cons: Straightforward. Predictable. Not a huge wow factor.

The Bottom Line: If you have reasonable expectations, you'll enjoy this ride.

Review: Making a good film sequel is a tricky task. The very reasons that demand a sequel are part of its downfall. The original is usually a good movie, or popular at the very least. Expectations are thus built in, and while succeeding at the box office often ...

Pros: Plot, characters; and oh yes Tom Cruise.

Cons: A few loose threads in the plot.

The Bottom Line: Mission: Impossible III is a winner in my book.

Review: Say what you will about Tom Cruise the man, the legend in his own misguided mind, but as an actor there are few better. The man brings an intensity, a bravado, a self-assurance to the screen that few other actors can match. Thought he is a lithe by the ...

Pros: Great action sequences and FX. Snappy dialogue.

Cons: void of swearing - so it seems odd. Implausible parts.

The Bottom Line: Would have been even better without Tom "I'm far too important and powerful" Cruise. 3.5 stars.

Review: If you're looking for an action-packed thrill ride that's void of any swearing or nudity, this is your ticket. If you're looking to spend $8.25 on a small popcorn and a medium soda... oh wait, everyone does that. Okay, sneak in your own food and drink. ...
