   I like how putting on a rubber mask of someone else’s face also seems to change your height and body shape

   “You can look at me with those judgmental eyes all you want, but I bullshit you not, I will bleed on the American flag to make sure those stripes stay red.” That’s one of the hardest lines I’ve ever heard in a movie.

   J.J. Abrams loves making it so you can’t see anything and wants you to just imagine the movie in your head

   There’s a beat at the end of this where Ethan is frantically explaining to his wife how to firmly load a clip into an automatic pistol. “Like the batteries in the flashlight in the kitchen.” Abrams isn’t a particularly adept visual filmmaker; this is shot largely in close-up and its setpieces coast more on length and sheer ingenuity, with shots strung together for clarity if not particularly composed or edited for any dynamic effect. But it’s the tiny stuff here that’s emotionally grounding instead of the film squeezing you with setup-release narrative structure (although it still does that sometimes too). In fact, one of the most exciting moments comes about from the realization that you’ve missed an entire potential action scene. I mean yeah it’s a $120 million Alias pilot but I always thought the Alias pilot was a lot of fun.

   The scene where Philip Seymour Hoffman is playing Ethan impersonating himself is scarily good, I miss him

    It’s no coincidence that these movies started getting better once Benji was introduced.

    My favorite so far, with about a million asterisks on that statement. Love the opening scene, love the villain, love the team camaraderie, the story was exciting, even the romance was sweet dammit! Michael Giacchino the king that you are! The action set pieces were also great, you know, whenever they weren’t blurry as shit with a bunch of shaky cam. The writing was pretty good, except when it wasn’t! Luther asking Ethan if he’s ever slept with his sister is the exact moment I remembered what Kurtzman and Orci are capable of. Lindsey’s message suddenly being viewable at the most plot-convenient time without any explanation as to why was clever foreshadowing for R2-D2 randomly waking up to provide the…

    **Mission: Impossible 3 gives the franchise something more than explosions and cool gadgets. It gives the series heart and family.**

    Mission: Impossible 3 carried the heavy burden of trying to ground the fantastical world of Mission Impossible with its insane stunts and extraordinary gadgets after the franchise took it all a little too far in MI2. JJ Abrams took the reins, simplified the plot to Ethan Hunt’s struggle to rescue his fiancée, and filled the cast with excellent talents like Michelle Monaghan, Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Keri Russell, Simon Pegg, and more. While the stunts and gadgets that define the franchise were still in the film, they were not the focus. Instead, MI3 concentrated on developing Hunt’s character and his struggle to protect his loved ones from his work. This movie frequently finds itself at the bottom of the Mission: Impossible rankings, but I think it’s one of the best in the series and gave the franchise the heart and direction it needed to become the box office behemoth it is today.

    Despite the introduction of the always annoying Simon Pegg, this is an huge improvement on the last instalment. It sees the now retired, loved-up “Ethan” (Tom Cruise) coaxed out of retirement to deal with the menacing arms dealer “Davian” (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who has just bumped off one of the IMF’s finest as he tries to offload the devilishly toxic “rabbit’s foot” – a weapon with devastating potential. The initial part of the operation goes smoothly enough, but when his prey escapes his clutches, “Ethan” soon realises that he is going to be used to obtain the weapon – else his girlfriend “Julia” (Michelle Monaghan) is going to be toast. PSH is a super baddie here, very much in the less is more school of menace, but not afraid to get a bit brutal when called for. The story itself is all pretty routine, there isn’t much jeopardy throughout, but the action scenes are more natural and less choreographed than last time out, and PSH also does add quite a lot of extra gravitas to the proceedings. It also features one of the more assured performance from the usually wooden as a tree Jonathan Rhys Meyers with Ving Rhames having a more substantial, and quite entertaining, role too. I’m not sure what anyone can really do about the inevitability of the conclusion – we just know these films are going to keep on coming, but this one from the established writing team of Kurtzman and Orci keeps moving well with plenty of gadgets, body morphing and action to pass the two hour mark comfortably.

    I would say it is the strongest entry of the first three Mission: Impossible films (the only ones I’ve seen to date). Even a decade later, it’s strengths are still that which the franchise has always been known for, and its weakness are much the same. Much more akin plot-wise to the first film, _M:I:III_ has the one advantage over its predecessors that it’s villain is much stronger than any we have seen before. Though arguably not the primary antagonist, Seymour-Hoffman (RIP) is actually pretty terrifying as international arms dealer, Owen Davian.

    That said, while this third entry is certainly the most engaging thus far, it still had me checking my watch before the end of the movie, so I can hardly give it a glowing review.

    _Final rating:★★ – Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
