Mission Impossible IIII
Recently retired, Agent Ethan Hunt lives a slower-paced life training new IMF agents. With this change, new opportunities enter his life, including a possible marriage to his girlfriend Julia. However, when a new conflict arises, Ethan is called back to duty to confront the toughest villain he’s ever faced – Owen Davian, an international weapons and information provider with no remorse and no conscience.
I absolutely loved the first Mission Impossible movie and detested the second. While the first movie was smart in its twists and gotchas, the second movie was just an action movie, nothing memorable. Thankfully, Mission Impossible III is more like the original. In all honesty, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Tom Cruise's acting and passion is what makes this movie very watchable. The result when those two personalities collide is one of the better hero/villian dynamics that I've seen. Great movie that feels a bit drawn out, but nothing too bad. That being said, I don't know who edited this movie but they could really have done a better job. A great example is when Cruise is running along side a bayou they focus on a side view of him running for a good 8-10 seconds. Transition scenes are necessary but it seemed like that was an obvious attempt to fill more time into the movie.
PG-13 is a good rating for this movie as there is plenty of violence and language to warrant it. Parents of smaller children should be warned that there is a point where we get a good look at dead woman's face and her eyes are pointing in different directions among other things. Might be a little much for the younger crowd.
Not as memorable as the first movie, yet not as forgettable as the second; Mission Impossible III is a great action movie that will leave you walking away from the theater glad that you watched it. Not an outstanding movie but a great way to kick off the summer movie season.
