Well, well, well, on to the first Summer blockbuster of the season. Probably the most anticipated movie of the summer (at least for most critics). Mission Impossible: III was definately on the list of big movies to see this year for me and I have to say that I wasn’t as impressed with this one as I was MI:II. This movie lacked something that makes all Mission Impossible movies shine. I would definately say that this one was better than the first mission, but has nothing on the second. I don’t want to give much of the plot away so I will make this vague but detailed. Tom Cruise, did an excellent job as always in the role of Ethan Hunt, and it was nice to see Ving Rhames back in action, however, I liked his character in the second mission a whole lot better. Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) is also in this film and I am happy to see him back in a decent action film again (it’s nice to see some producers not hold a gruge against what Laurence says about America). The villians in this movie are clever and the plot, as always, takes some nice twists at the end.
So… I guess after all that and in honor of Tom, I have to give this movie a Scientology 7 out of 10. 🙂 Yeah, just a 7, maybe even a 6.5 but Scientology 7 is funnier. So if this trend continues (especially if X:3 or DaVinci Code disappoints) then I will have to stop getting my hopes up for any good movies this Summer and wait for Talledga Nights with Will Ferrell and Cars to come out in the Fall.
