Although I figured out what was going on by rewinding and studying the shots, it was not at all clear what was happening or why. So much explosions and gun fire and noise, on what is supposed to be a covert mission by Ethan Hunt, a man who it has been made absolutely clear in past movies, prefers passivism. The dialogue is also horrendously bad. Ethan says without a hint of irony that he doesn't trust Luthor, a man he literally trusts with his life on many occasions in past films. The helicopter guys complains about how he 'always has to copy' even though he has never once had to in this film and we've never seen him before this mission. Simon Pegg goes off on some rambling nonsense speech about how the mcguffin is probably some doomsday device to destroy humanity because he heard an anecdote from a professor once, and the other guys stand there listening as if they are actually taking him seriously. It's just a small example, the film is absolute trash. I can't watch this all the way through.… Expand

Stay clear from this movie if you're looking for one with an original plot. Before the film had even reached its halfway point, I knew how it would conclude. That's how foreseeably obvious it was. There is only one "good man" slain during the entire film. It is quite improbable that someone could leap onto buildings from great heights and endure numerous gunfights without suffering even a single gunshot wound or serious injuries. The movie appeared to be set in our time period, yet there were a number of high-tech items that were clearly fake. such as the tool that created a lifelike mask of a person's face in a matter of minutes.… Expand

This entry does some of the best thing in the franchise.
Tom Cruise gives his best performance as Ethan Hunt, it has the best use of masks in the whole series, it introduced Benji (aka. the best character in the series) and, most importantly, it has the best villain of the franchise.
In fact, can we put Phillip Seymour Hoffman's character amongst the best villains of all time please? Because he's absolutely terrifying in this movie.

MI III is incredibly fast-paced that there is almost no downtime. However, that didn't stop the emotional stakes from working. It also has breathtaking action set-pieces, cool stunts, dazzling special effects, twisty-turny plot that kept me thinking throughout its entire runtime. Its plot is twisted and convoluted yet, unlike the first installment, never confusing. Instead it's actually so clever and thought-provoking. Everything kept turning upside down, and I enjoyed that! Also this movie has an awesome cast. Besides Tom cruise who did his best as always, the cast includes Philip Seymour Hoffman who made a fantastic villain that, in my opinion, we didn't need any more depth to his character as long as what we have more than enough to serve the plot. Michelle Monaghan is great as Julia. Ving Rhames is badass as usual. Also I think Laurence Fishburne was a pleasant addition to the franchise. Simon Pegg didn't have much screen time, but the couple scenes he was in are pure GOLD!

Loved how the score fits the action scenes perfectly, and the cinematography also is very good, although I had some difficulties while watching with the excessive use of close-ups.

The wrap-up could have been a little bit more convincing, but it's fine nonetheless. Overall, I can say that J.J. Abrams saved the franchise after the clumsy second installment that was trying to make a James Bond out of Ethan Hunt. I also think Mission: Impossible III is one of the most entertaining and ,sadly, underrated action movies ever made.

Ethan quit the job most likely because he is looking foward to start a family with his new girlfriend. Because of the struggle of a agent that he trained, he feels forced to get back to work for help and during this he find out some trafficking situations that he needs to work on to fix things. Directed by J. J. Abrams.
The story of this movie isn't much complex as the first one is, but it isn't so less interesting and so unrealistic as the second one. This movie have a story that it is functional, but not even by far it is the most attractive point here, it isn't very original and doesn't have big moments, but then again, it is functional, it definely works. It does have a plot twists that it is straight outta the first one, it is just like that one. Their team at principle it is just like the other 2, a guy to invade, one to hack and one to escape in an helicopter, but later on it changes and they get more creative, wich is always better. They gave time for us to care about some new characters that was needed, they start the movie with a flash foward, wich i'm not so sure about it, not sure if it was the better of the options. The movie also have some coincidences that is hard to bought but definely doesn't bother if you get your disbelief on point. There are some moments where the movie tries to make you believe in somethings that are just badly done. But you can feel the adrenaline and the urgency here, so they did a good job in this part. I also liked how the explained somethings that were used in the other two movies in this one, it was very nice.
The acting in this movie did a good job. The better one by far was Tom Cruise, givin to the character of Ethan Hunt a layer that we didn't had much in the other two movies, wich is more of a desperated one in a cliffhanger situation, he cries and completely forgot of that smile Ethan, Tom make me completely bought his concern and his rage in some moments, and also didn't forgot that trick personality at the same time, so he did a great job here with that overwhelmed Ethan. Michelle Monaghan had a supporting job, she was kind and sweet, he did very well what they told her to, no complains on her. Ving Rhames is here one more time, and his character still pretty damn cool, he convinced being that hacker, he had a little more time in this one to talk about different things, but he did so good as he did in the other ones. Simon Pegg is also in this movie and he was funny, and have a very crucial part in the story, his acting was on point passing that his character is not the most confident ever, but is also a believer. Philip Seymour Hoffman interpretate a villain that it is simply unidimensional, like is characteristic of this series, he is just bad and is threatning people all the time, he did a good job considering what they gave him to do, he convinced me that he is just a bad man with the way he look to others and the way that he talks. Laurence Fishburne is also here and didn't had much to do, he was like his role in CSI, didn't had much time, but he was functional.
The action was surely the high point in this movie, there is some sequences that are really brethtaking, the bridge sequence they did with maestry, that was just 100% nice, it was very good in every possible way. The first invading scene was cool, but i don't think that it was perfect, at the begining of that part it was good that they make things pretty clear what was going to happen, but in some moments it felt that they was just shooting to random places, they didn't convinced me that they knew what they are doing, maybe it was the montage, i'm not sure, but at the start things didn't felt way connected. The second mission that they had to pick it up, that was another really cool moment, it wasn't the most nice thing ever but still was really well done in that Vaticano place. And also more by the end things got more crazy, jumping trough windows, somethings that they decided not to show, wich i'm not sure if it also was the best of the ideas. But generally it was really cool. The soundtrack worked very well, they really contextualizes the scenes very well, so as the main theme it is still pretty damn cool.
The cinematography got back to how it was in the first movie, and it is great, using those Dutch angles, and a moving camera, a camera that almost never is calm it is always agitated with the situation and that is awesome.… Expand

Hélas, ce n'est qu'un feu de paille -assez flamboyant tout de même par la grâce de cet incroyable acteur, le regretté Philip Seymour Hoffman dont l'intensité crève l'écran. Du coup, même le nabot Tommy tente de se maintenir un peu au dessus d'une simple nullité, comme s'il apprenait à nager tout-à-coup !

Puis, les masques tombent, ceux d'un scénario qui peine à dissimuler son indigence voire sa bouffonnerie totale vers la fin... De l'action, il y en a, ça oui mais quelle importance puisque le trou du cul Abrams est atteint de la caméra de Parkinson ! l'action devient brouillonne et illisible, déjà pas aidée par un montage souvent nerveux. Des tas de trucs explosent, des cascades improbables se succèdent mais à quoi ça sert si c'est filmé par un épileptique ? à rien !

Il reste quelques moments d'infiltration typiques de Mission Impossible à peu près regardables (et délirants) mais le film décidément trop long se perd sur la vie sentimentale de Monsieur Hunt (et ça on s'en branle) et en dialogues parfois d'une telle bêtise qu'on arrive pas à y croire. Abrams a dû se croire dans un dessin animé idiot grandeur nature ou une sitcom avec des explosions pour en arriver là...

Et pourtant la distribution est assurément soignée avec des jeunes couteaux prometteurs, filles ou garçons (Jonathan, Keri, Maggie pour la galerie et même Aaron Paul !) sans compter Fishburne qui a encore grossi. Mais à quoi tout cela sert-il quand le scénario hystéro-bouffon se conjugue avec la réalisation lamentable de l'autre petzouille ? à que dalle !… Expand

It felt like an extended version of the original television series. Great. If this is any indication of the summer to come, we are in good shape. JJ Abrams Trek venture is now highly anticipated for me. The bridge scene is riveting. Kong and the T-rexes riveting. Give Tom Cruise his props, not one of the three MIs has been a bomb. I feel justified in stating that these films are the closest equivalent to 007 we have. Moms, grandpops, and teenies likes MI. Fanboys stick to Bourne's mole-hunt upon mole-hunt contrived euro-sedan chase sequences. Don't get it twisted, I like those films, choppy editing and all, its just that they has strayed SO far from the brilliant source material. Which brings me full circle. IMF in Peter Graves' day was always about the hacker, the strongman, and the make-up artist. The fact that dude is crazy in real life adds to the believability that Ethan Hunt would do the insane base-jumping stunts in each movie. Oprah's coach was just conditioning. Props to VIC ARMSTRONG the second unit director AND stunt coordinator. He Indy being drug behind the nazi benz cargo truck in Raiders. Cruise and Abrams have managed to interject the Tom's personal life(engagement/googley eyes) into a blockbuster and it took NADA away from the characterizations, plot, or tone of the film. Jason Strahams and Karl Urbans take note. This is how to do it. He didn't have me at hello... But MI:3 had me at the lip reading, the execution scene, and moonwalking up and down the Vatican walls. Let see Robert Langdon do that!… Expand

Considering that he had already been creating television shows done with a cinematic budget to a cinematic quality likeFor the third outing of the Mission Impossible franchise, JJ Abrams was bought in to bring cruise back for a new mission. Considering that he had already been creating television shows done with a cinematic budget to a cinematic quality like Lost and Alias, it made sense that he take on the reigns of the multi million dollar franchise. But whilst he is able to keep the franchise action packed, his style is unable to flourish the same way that Palma or Woo were able to in the previous films.

Some time after the second film, Hunt has decided to retire from active duty and is now training IMF agents. He also has new fiancée, forgetting Thandie Newton from Mission Impossible II, who is gone without explanation, and is now with a nurse named Julia (Michelle Monaghan). It's a situation similar to True Lies, with Cruise living a double life and his wife being entirely unaware of his life as a secret agent that Hunt has decided to leave in his past to be with her. But just like any other film about a retired agent, it's not long before Hunt has received a new self destructing message with a new mission which he chooses to accept, leading him to assemble a new team to save one of the agents he trained in the past.

And just like every Mission Impossible film, his mission inevitably goes wrong. Thus Hunt is plunged back into the life of a spy, having to take down brutal arms dealer Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), save his wife to be, and track down the mysterious rabbit's foot. What exactly this rabbit foot is, we're never really told. It's a Macguffin in a similar vein to the likes of the suitcase in Pulp Fiction. It could some kind of toxin. Or it could be a doomsday device. But whatever it is, we know it's bad, and that if the villain gets his hand on it there will be trouble. It leaves it up to the viewer to decide just how high the stakes will be this time around.

As usual, Cruise is great as Hunt. He still has the American action hero charm mixed with some great stunt and physical work, with one stand out scene where he's sprinting through Shanghai at breakneck speeds. But as great as he is, Hoffman really steals the film as the psychotic arms dealer Owen Davian, who is throughout the film one of the most intimidating villains in a PG-13 movie. At the midpoint when he says to Cruise ""Do you have a wife? A girlfriend? Because if you do, I'm gonna find her. I'm gonna hurt her." We believe him, since he really seems willing to do anything to get what he wants. The only downside to his character is that he does not get enough screen time. The film even pushes him out of the way for a while, instead focusing on the overused traitor from within the organisation cliché we've already seen in both of the previous films in the franchise. You'd really think by now IMF would keep a closer check on their agents.

Abrams is able to shoot a confident action sequence, however he doesn't make the same mark on the franchise that his predecessors did. Few blockbuster films have come anywhere near the nail biting suspense that De Palma was capable of in the first Mission: Impossible and nobody's ever done it in quite the same way. And love it or loath it, no director can make an action sequence quite as over the top as Woo with his explosive 20 minute finale. But with Abrams his style is less distinct. It looks just like every other action movie, which isn't necessarily bad, but doesn't leave the same mark that the first two films had.

Beyond this there's a certain repetitiveness to the sequences. There's only so many time you can watch the same high speed chases and good guys shooting bad guys before it can become boring. And whilst the locations change, throughout the film all the action sequences end up feeling largely similar. Whilst other spy franchises at the time like Bond and Bourne were starting to experiment with darker and more realistic film-making, Mission Impossible remained stuck in the same generic action that's been see many times before. It still lives up to basic expectations, but it never tries to exceed those expectations either and is instead just a very ordinary action movie.… Expand

The best villain in the series and, honestly, one of the better ones in recent memory, Hoffman's performance here is fantastic and deliciously evil. Tom Cruise is fantastic as well here, doubled by him performing most of his own stunts, which I continue to find very, very impressive. The action is well directed by JJ Abrams and the film most certainly entertains. Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, and Keri Russell, are also really good. The scene with Russell has also left me paranoid whenever I have a headache, so thanks for that Mission: Impossible III. Overall, this one is a very good action film that entertains in spades and thanks to Hoffman's spectacular turn as the antagonist here, it is elevated above the other installments in the series.… Expand

"M:I 2" was really stupid, but "M:I III" is such a big improvement.

Along with a fantastic performance by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, if there's one thing this guy knew how to do, it was playing an awesome villain. The action scenes are awesome, the stunt work is great, and the cinematography is pretty neat. There is lens flair, especially since this is a J.J. Abrams movie(his feature directorial debut, BTW). It's still a good first attempt in the director's chair for Abrams.

I recommend skipping the first two films and starting with this one. It's solid entertainment.… Expand

The stand out scene is a heist that occurs halfway through the film, which is true to the spirit of the series and what I like. All of this is done with a crew who is mostly well developed moreso than the last one. The story is also suspenseful having a lot of surprises that mostly come from knowing how the film will end. The problem with the film comes with everything else. This film is long and exhausting due to it being full of big dumb action scenes, which aren’t that interesting and are poorly made feeling like something out of a Michael Bay film at times. Had the film toned down the action and/or had those moments be constructed as smartly as the heist scenes we could’ve had something. As it is the film is eh. Its an improvement over the second film as we have something resembling a Mission Impossible Movie but nothing special.… Expand

Mission Impossible III was a step in the right direction.
After a very disappointing sequel to the spy series, MI3 recaptures some of the magic with a more "down to earth" Tom Cruise and a much more realistic basis.

It does have some great action sequences (A daring prison transport break on an unstable bridge) but it lets them down with some equally dull and uneventful action sequences (the opening warehouse raid). However the main segment of the film that is the most disappointing is the heist in the Vatican which under the direction of one of the previous MI directors Brian De Palma and John Woo could have been electric and adventurous is unfortunately slow, basic and downright boring, thanks to JJ Abrams playing it safe with the entire film playing like a really bad yet expensive episode of Alias (created by Abrams). Every now and then there is some semblance of flair but its quickly discarded in favour of more mundane camera work. Even the music in the film leaves much to be desired despite the fact its by an Oscar winning composer (Michael Giacchino). In fact it's a film that suffers in every possible way because of Abrams, with the look of the film and the actors being fine. It's the direction, writing and general feel of the film that seriously lack. The writing by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and JJ Abrams is hammy with key scenes being clunky, bordering on embarrassing. The film is just wrong. Finally someone should tell Mr Abrams that even if you have the money to film a stylish slow motion gun toss it doesn't mean you should, its just unnecessary and unbelievably stupid.… Expand

The action is generally well handled, but ranges from jaw-dropping set-pieces (the scene where the IMF team frantically try to bring down a lethal military drone on a rapidly disintegrating bridge), to the ridiculous (Ethan Hunt BASE jumping from halfway down a Shanghai skyscraper) to the uncreative and dull (the opening hostage rescue in a guarded warehouse). Concerning the actors, Tom Cruise still does what he needs to do, Ving Rhames is as entertaining as ever, and Philip Seymour Hoffman's makes a terrifically scary villain, but the vast majority of the rest of the cast tend to drift listlessly through the film. Michelle Monaghan, despite being a key addition to the cast in theory (she does play Ethan Hunt's fiancee after all) feels more like a spare wheel, an unwelcome bit of emotional baggage that slows the pace of the story, Billy Crudup and Laurence Fishburne's characters are woefully underdeveloped, Maggie Q plays the same character she plays in every film, and Keri Russell and Eddie Marsan don't get enough screen time to make any impact whatsoever. The film always looks good, and J. J. Abrams gets ample opportunity to flex his directorial muscles on the big screen for the first time, but the main disappointment of M:I--3 is the story. It's flimsy, unable to adequately support the plethora of action sequences let alone allow for any sort of character development. Thankfully, the silly hyper-real facemasks don't play as key a role to the plot this time round, and it's kind of cool that we get to see how they're made, plus the filmmakers finally acknowledge the need for contact lenses and voice--changing software for an IMF agent to convincingly imitate their target (though it still doesn't explain how Cruise can believably pose as any other man considering his diminutive stature). Mission: Impossible III looks good and has a few stand-out sequences and a great performance from Philip Seymour Hoffman to offer us, but the lazy story and the addition of an ill-defined romantic subplot detracts from the viewing experience as a whole, and some of the actors simply don't look like they're really trying. J.J. Abram's film directorial debut is solidly O.K., but nothing more.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The third "Mission: Impossible" film starring Tom Cruise as IMF Agent Ethan Hunt. This time directed by "Lost" creator J.J. Abrams.

Ethan Hunt is now training IMF agents and ready to settle down and marry the woman he loves, Julia (Michelle Monaghan). That is until one of the new agents he trained, Lindsay Ferris (Keri Russell) is captured by weapons dealer Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman) in Berlin. Hunt is called back into active duty to save her, but after the mission fails, he decides to track down and capture Davian in Rome without authorization, with the help of his IMF team (Ving Rhames, Johnathan Rhys-Meyers and Maggie Q.). After Davian escapes with the help of someone inside IMF, he kidnaps Julia and threatens to kill her unless Hunt gets him a secret unknown weapon called "the rabbits foot" from a secure building in Shanghai, China. Now, Hunt must race against time to save Julia, and stop Davian from getting his hands on "the rabbits foot".

The plot is a little predictable, and the one theme that stays constant throughout all three films is that the IMF has a lot of traitors within its organization, but in my opinion this is the best of the "Mission: Impossible" movies. Director J.J. Abrams gives the film a very gritty feel, and you can see the influences of "Lost" in his style, as well with Michael Giacchino's music score. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a great villain, and I loved the way he met his end (face meet bumper)!… Expand

I guess that's why they released it at the beginning of the summer. Seriously, friends, maybe I'm blinded by Tom Cruise being crazy and all, but I purposely saw this in the dollar theater, expecting a cliche ridden, over-the-top, stupidly action-packed shooting-fest, and I definitely got my dollar's worth. But that's about it. Really, I do think I'm blinded by Cruise's newly insane-status, but I wasn't the only one who laughed in the theater when Billy Crudup's character asked him if he slept with his "little sister" (that Felicity chick, very under-used). Unfortunately, this movie seems to have been the movie-with-which-good-actors-pay-their-bills. Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Lawrence Fishburne, Billy Crudup, Jonathon Rhys-Myers...it's sad. Really. And I was half-way looking forward to seeing Hoffman playing the villian, like really being evil and enjoying it. But, alas, there is mostly him beating up Tom Cruise and very little conspiring with his minions. And the worst part? [***SPOILERS***] What did we all love about the first MI? It was corny and cheesy and no one tried to make it anything else--the plot twist was simple, the lines were drawn, and the hardest thing to follow in the movie was the heliocopter chase. In this one, however, they wanted to add Substance. So there's a cheesy, completely unnecessary scene between two supporting characters, and followed shortly by a completely nonsensical reveal of the "Real Villain." And the cheesiest of all cheesy endings that doesn't deserve to be tacked on to an otherwise decent action trilogy. Why am I complaining so much? Because I can, and because I want to bring the median score of the audience reviews down. Please. Please come down. This movie is worth a good laugh in the dollar theater, but nothing else.… Expand

This movie was ok. Not the worst movie I've seen but definately not one of the best. If you've got nothing better to do, this movie will entertain you.

I'm confused; I see people calling this movie "enjoyable" and "entertaining" , yet "not nessarily a good movie." What kind lunacy is this? This is just your stereotypical critic: a guy who nit-picks just because he can. What happened to I'm confused; I see people calling this movie "enjoyable" and "entertaining" , yet "not nessarily a good movie." What kind lunacy is this? This is just your stereotypical critic: a guy who nit-picks just because he can. What happened to a movie being judged on it's entertainment value? Kind of common sense, right? I tend to use that a alot, I'm just non-intellectual like that. I mean... makes sense to me, a movie entertains me... it probably deserves a higher score. These are the same guys, who rate snorefests a 10 because of great acting and dialogue. That's all well and good, and it certainly helps a movie, but if it's still not that entertaining, is that "nesessarily a good movie?" I'll let you ponder that question. Meanwhile, go see this movie.… Expand

I think people giving this movie a bad rating are just picky bastards to tell you the truth. You know -- those people, who have to be critical just to be, because they can't sit down and just enjoy a movie for what it is. And anyone I think people giving this movie a bad rating are just picky bastards to tell you the truth. You know -- those people, who have to be critical just to be, because they can't sit down and just enjoy a movie for what it is. And anyone ragging on this movie because of Tom Cruise needs to get a life. Who's worse - a scientologist, or a guy who pays more attention to somebody elses life than his own? Anyway, this is a straight up, pumped up action movie; but it has brains, and lotso drama. It's crazy, I was pretty blown away actually. My only quibble is that the dialogue could have been better in a few scenes. Other than that, I was pleasantly surprised. No, it's probably not better than MI:1 -- and anything is better than MI:2. Regardless, go see this movie.… Expand

MI-3 is a near-prefect blend of romance, devotion, emotion, high action, intelligent plotting, surprisingly innovative solutions to problems, and enough flash-bang to turn up the adrenalin.

Enjoyable but not necessarily a good movie. Lots of action but really no story to support it. Predictable.

Tom Cruise isn't a chameleon like Billy Bob Thornton, in which a superior acting ability can make an audience forget his controversial personal life. Ethan Hunt is, indeed, Tom Cruise, here in action star-mode, as opposed to his Tom Cruise isn't a chameleon like Billy Bob Thornton, in which a superior acting ability can make an audience forget his controversial personal life. Ethan Hunt is, indeed, Tom Cruise, here in action star-mode, as opposed to his "I'm a serious actor"-mode, in which he says things like "You complete me," and "Respect the cock." When he wears shades(he's crying, yes, but it also could be construed as aloofness towards his Catholic surroundings) at a funeral where crosses are present, we're aware of his religious beliefs. An explosive device(read: potentially, a psychotropic drug) seems to kid his war against psychiatry. He also tells a colleague that his love is "real". What surprised me about "MI3" is that the official narrative is more fun than the subtext. It's a lot of fun. Keri Russell gives the early scenes a kick in a great casting-against-type performance.… Expand

Definitely better than MI:2 which was perhaps the worst movie ever made; on par with the first one in my opinion.

Every scene was either taken from a better movie or too stupid to have ever have been in any other movie. There was one 20 minute strech of classic Mission Impossible awesomeness in this movie engulfed and outweighed by utter ridiculousness.
