An action movie that is no different than 500 others before - simplistic story, lots of baddies, car chases, explosions, ridiculous stunts, very poor lines ('Ethan what are you doing with that gun?'). And lots of self-indulgence of Mr. Cruise. Very average, if not poor. Really nothing special and you need to be an MI / Cruise junkie to enjoy this one.
I've just seen MI3 on a huge screen with 3 friends and we all loved it. We weren't looking for anything pretentious, just lots of fast paced action and a film that didn't take itself too seriously like some of these reviewers. In this regard, the film delivers; in bucketloads. It's not trying to be cool or clever, just big and noisy and that's what it is. People are expecting the film's director, JJ Abrams (Lost, Alias), to give the MI franchise a shake up but instead he has opted simply to stay true to the MI formula. However, in doing so he has delivered the best of the three movies (3,1,2). It is full on and there is no time to breathe or relax because the unrelenting action is so intense. The movie's greatest disappointment is its terrible ending which is Camembert central. However, cnsidering that it doesn't take itself seriously this hardly matters. If you're after something totally original and with an undertone of cool, stay clear, this is not for you. However, if you're after a high octane action flick that doesn't mind taking the rip out of itself, then this delivers and you'll enjoy it a lot.
