Mission: Impossible Reviews

Good Action - can't wait for MI:3

Great update of the 70's series.

Tom Cruise is great as Ethan Hawk. As he now seems to have a hand in the majority of his film choices with his own production company, the man is almost unable to make a bad film.

The stunt work on this film was dangerous and arduous - and the care taken to make these scenes as perfect as possible really shows.

With regard to the poor review listed for this film - I can only conclude that they were watching the original!!!!!

I thought that the supporting cast were actually good on the whole - but the problem of acting on the same screne as Cruise is that if you are not in his league - then I'm afraid that you will pale in comparison. Having been in the game myself, I think that the old saying of 'Never work with children and animals' (because they are usually scene stealers) should also include the rare breed of actor - like Cruise - because by god you have got to be good to score 'evens' never mind actually win a point!!!! Oh, and by the way, I'm not particulally a Cruise fan - but I'm honest enough to give credit where credit is due!

Well worth watching. More please.

Boys adventure

Usual boys escapism with large explosions and a cast running around saving the world

Not Too Bad..

Thought it had the potential to be truly great ...seemed to get lost at bits (or was that just me). Did enjoy it though ..Hope the follow up is as good, but with more grip?

A mixed bag

It was great at the end of the movie but was hard to understand in the beginning. There is a lot of action and a lot of suspence during the 'mission impossible'.

There was also a very small amount of romance and treatchery.

DOWNFALL for tom cruise

AN excellent film to watch good drama, a littil bit confusing but altogether not so bad.

BUT! there was a bad downfall for tom cruise i dont think he tryed as hard in acting as he usally does so its alright but i would only properly want to watch it twice at the most.

A Marmite Film

You either love it or hate it.

I hated it but loved Mission: Impossible 2

Excellent - Truly spy-tastic

From the opening match and the dum dum da da, you are hooked, the fine twists and turns as the political intrigue tears the film apart, Cruise as ethan hawke is perfect. This spy caper is enjoyable without being to confusing. Higly recommended for all those with a thirst for action.

excellent, fantastic , brilliant

great film full of action a must see

[Highly rated reviewer]

Good action movie

A good action film, which is very entertaining, has an interesting story, and some interesting plot-twists. The film is also full of exciting action, is great fun, has good special effects, and has a good cast (including Tom Cruise, Jon Voight, Emmanuelle Beart, Ving Rhames, Jean Reno, Henry Czerny, Kristin Scott Thomas, Vanessa Redgrave, Emilio Estevez) and good acting throughout.

Almost Perfect!

Before the atrocious 'Mission To Mars', Director, Brian De Palma had a string of successful & well made movies like 'The Unctouchables' and this film, 'Mission Impossible' based on one of the best 60's spy shows on tv, Tom Cruise is a perfect stand in as the main hero, the mask switching, highly influenced by an equally brilliant film, Sam Raimi's 'Darkman' this film is American 007 and it works superbly, definately a brilliant way to kick off the franchise, can't wait for 'MI: 3' which is apparently returning to darker, grittier & more edgy filmmaking kinetic, genius!
