Way too many colons in that title.
Title: Mission: Impossible: III
Genre (Movie): Action
Description: A fun little romp through a world of spies, intrigue, and Tom Cruise not obsessed with Katie Holmes.
Quickrating: 7.5/10
If you’ve never seen the first two movies, don’t fret. I can sum them up for you in one short sentence: Tom Cruise is a secret agent man. That about covers it. Now you’re up to speed.
In all honesty, M:I:III (teehee) really sums up action movies in general. The plot is silly, has lots of holes and rather predictable twists (which might have been also used in the first two Mission: Impossibles, now that I think about it), but the action is fun, the explosions are big, and the bad guy dies in the end by a great big fisticuff fight.
If anyone bitches to me about spoiling the ending, then they should also bitch to me about spoiling the ending to just about every action film out there. Get over yourselves.
So a quick plot summary–Tom Cruise is living the good life, has found a wife, is engaged, when outta nowheres comes this call from the IMF agency telling him to get on an assignment. Some chick he taught has been captured by some evil weapons smuggler man. Explosions, gunfights, cool black guy, et cetera.
My, that was an easy summary to write.
I really enjoyed the action scenes in this movie, but what was refreshing is that most of them were different–they’d show a scene of Tommy infiltrating a building, but the next time he has to infiltrate it, they skip all the stuff that would have made it repetative, cut to the viewpoint of another character, and see him busting back out. While this may have a tendency to confuse some of the more curious watchers (”BUT I WANNA SEE TOM KILL PEOPLE!!”), it was nice to see that they didn’t waste the screentime with repeats of the same stunts done in front of a different backdrop.
Acting really doesn’t come into something like this, but I did have a few issues with some of the characters. There didn’t seem to be enough filmtime on a few of Tom’s fellow operatives (besides the cool black guy). All I know is there was some Asian chick and a British dude. They might have been in love, but I couldn’t tell. A few more scenes with them talking would have been nice. Just a little. Also, the British guy didn’t really seem to do anything. I dunno.
On another note, this is a good movie to watch with friends so you can make lots of placenta jokes. I was with a crowd who didn’t appreciate the finer points of Tom’s life (and was definitely NOT my parents. Nope. Not my parents at all.), and I just felt like so many good joke oppurtunities were wasted. In light of this, I’m going to be making another post for people who HAVE seen the movie that contains all of the jokes I thought of during the course of the film. It’ll be great.
In short, this was a great way to start the summer movie craze. Have a morning, afternoon, or evening with nothing to do? Grab some adrenaline by watching M:I:III. And get your daily dose of way-too-many-colons-in-the-freakin’-title.
“You don’t know anything about psychiatry. I do.”–Our very own Tom Cruise. Apparently, he reads books.
You messed up the Lauer quote.
Cruise to Lauer: You’re glib.
…
Lauer: “It’s very impressive to listen to you because clearly, you’ve done the homework. And you know the subject.”
Cruise: “And you should. You don’t know the history of psychiatry. I do.”

do a review on an really awesome movie
like X Men 3
i saw that today
much better than M:I:3
I saw X-Men 3 the other day. The review for that might come tomorrow, when I’m more up for it. If I tried writing the review tonight, I’m afraid of what might end up on the page.
Haha, nice review once again.
Micro, its called paraphraising. Also known as “pissingoffpeoplewhoarecrazyaboutbeingrightallthetime”.
He was trying to directly quote. That makes him WRONG. That would be like paraphrazing that last post as:
“ME IS DUMMMMM!!!!!!!!”
~iBloon

this kid is so uncool i find him remarkable cool
its awesome how my mind can be so….uh…awesome
…I don’t like you.
And it’s “remarkabLY.” Remarkably cool.
Lol. Hahahahaha. Yea… Micro is just pissed all the time because Blade totally owned him a few times. Just search Aneesh on the bloon. Fun things await.
In other news, yes that was a burn. But hey, it made me laugh so w/e.
Now now, Aneesh, mustn’t make fun of your fan. I do believe he’s your only one. Take ‘em where you can find ‘em, kiddo.
HAHAHAHA no.
1. Nothing Blade ever did affected me. It wasn’t that funny.
2. That wasn’t a burn because I am not phased.
3. I don’t want fans. I don’t need fans.
4. Don’t call me kiddo, *****.
IBloon: Micro you are a fool. You said his name! Jeez.
you know you want me as your fan, bird call boy

This is the point where we bash SomeRandomFellow upside the head, give Aneesh a good linking-to, and give The Bloon Blade a trophy. Or two.
