Mission
Impossible 3, Mi:3
|
Short
plot summary |
|
Ethan
Hunt (Tom Cruise) is back once again to find his newly married wife
who is being held by a group looking for a thing called a 'Rabbit's
Foot', which could be some kind of weapon of mass destruction for
all they tell us...
|
What
our panel of critics thought |
"The
best Mission film to date. Amazing special effects, even though
it has the standard 'bad guys have your wife so you had better do
what they tell you' basic plot story line."
"Sorry
Mission fans. I just don't believe that a mask could be that convincing.
OK, from a distance probably, OK, but from up close? Close like
you're kissing the guy? No, nah, nada, no way. I'm not listening
. No, No, No, Noooooo. Not possible. No."
"Some
very very nice sequences, such as the 'Humpty Dumpty sat on the
wall' comment, the jumping off a skyscraper in Shanghai, one bullet
left in the gun he fires it and says 'I'm out' routine, and the
helicopter flying through the wind farm turbines. Probably not for
those with a bad heart, although to be fair the first one would
probably have finished those viewers off."
"Laurence
Fishburn excels in his grumpy guy typecast once more."
"Is
that a young Henry 8th helping Tom Cruise? Or should I say Henry
VIII? History was never my strong point, Italian history doubly
not so."
"Shock
horror, Tom Cruise actually dies in this movie. Nice heart massage
sequence, not a defibrillator in sight. Or was her name Defibrillator?
Can't remember now."
"Simon
Pegg is in this movie? This must surely mean he will eventually
turn up as Q in the James Bond movies... No hum."

Please
tell me the ending or whole plot if necessary

Wife
saved to budget and on time. At the end, Hunt decides whether to
stay on with the IMF, which to be frank must be the only secure
job in the world today. But is this just a teaser for Mi:4?

It's
the old story of wife being held by the bad guys and being rescued
by the hero, but boy what a journey. Everything fans could want
from the Mission Impossible franchise, including how they actually
make the masks! Enjoyable action-filled nonsense from start to
finish. Gives Jack Bauer a run for his money which is a high compliment
from us.
