Product Description:
Paramount Mission: Impossible 3 (Blu-ray)
Tom Cruise returns as Special Agent Ethan Hunt, who faces the mission of his life in Mission: Impossible III.' Director J. J. Abrams ('Lost', 'Alias') brings his unique blend of action and drama to the billion-dollar franchise.
Amazon.com:
At the time of its release, Mission: Impossible III's box office was plagued by the publicity backlash against couch-jumping star Tom Cruise. It's too bad, because this third installment of the spy thriller franchise deserved a better reception than it got. First-time feature director J.J. Abrams (bigwig TV director/producer of Lost, Alias, & Felicity) proves more than able-bodied in creating a Mission: Impossible that's leaner and less over-stylized than John Woo's sequel and less confusing than Brian De Palma's original. Plot is still a throwaway here (Cruise's Ethan Hunt rescues his kidnapped former trainee and works to steal a device that... well, we don't really know what it does, but it's something about mass destruction that costs $850 million), but the action sequences, particularly one where Ethan faces down a helicopter on a bridge and gets flung hard against the side of a car, are particularly impressive since Cruise, at 44, is still doing most of his own stunts and shows no hint of the weathered look that's struck his action-star peers. (Though no Mission: Impossible stunt will ever be quite as simultaneously nail-biting and funny as the first film's wire-dangling break-in of CIA headquarters.)
Mission: Impossible III boasts a pedigreed cast, particularly Oscar® winner Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) as baddie arms dealer Owen Davian. Hoffman plays Owen all teeth-clenched and cool, especially when threatening to kill Ethan in front of his lovely new wife (Michelle Monaghan) who has no idea of his spy life. But in his first action-film lead role, Hoffman's almost too calm and collected to really make a memorable villain, especially when the rest of the cast--Ving Rhames (the only other cast member to return for all three films), Asian film star Maggie Q, and an underused Jonathan Rhys-Meyers--are a highlight as Ethan's IMF team. Mission: Impossible is still fun popcorn spy fare, and if Cruise chooses to end the franchise here, at least he goes out on a high note. --Ellen A. Kim

Rating:  - Better than Bond
Better than some recent James Bond films, MI 3 is a shoot-for-the-moon international caper which moves well into the new millennium. This episode takes us from Berlin to the Vatican to Shanghai - ambitious indeed. Slick, youthful and fun, Tom's partners in crime - Ving Rhames, Maggie Q and Jonathan Rhys Meyers are cool and great eye candy. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a good actor, but still looks too much like a blonde teddy bear to be menacing for me. In spite of this, the movie works. Instead ... Read More
Rating: - MI 3
Didn't realize I had ordered the widescreen version but other than that, love this movie, especially the lamborghini murcialago!
Rating:  - Cruise knows Action
Why is it that Tom Cruise is at his best when he is running from something? Minority Report, The Firm, War of the Worlds, etc. - he does a significant amount of escaping and running away from people in all these films. I guess there is just something about seeing him running for his life at full speed that make people want to come back for more. Whatever the reason, I though Mission Impossible III was a good, entertaining show.
The key to this type of movie is expectations. You musn't ... Read More
Rating:  - MI3: Tom Cruise's face is amazing.
...or, Mission Impossible 3: The one that will try to prove Tom Cruise is still better than Jesus.
This movie features a derivative plot, with generic spies racing each other toward obtaining a nameless unexplained super weapon. It also features (extremely prominently) Tom Cruise. And Tom Cruise. Plus, Tom Cruise running.
I recommend the Pan-and-Scan version over the widescreen. About 75% of this movie's running time is a close-up of Tom Cruise's face. The widescreen ... Read More
Rating: - J.J. Abrams + Tom Cruise + Philip Seymour Hoffman = Action Movie Masterpiece
When this film was first announced it was met with skepticism and with the constant bad press Tom Cruise had received over the months this movie was destined to fail. That was before we had the chance to see this stellar combination in action; Tom Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt and Philip Seymour Hoffman taking the role as the main bad guy, arms dealer Owen Davian. These two great actors combined together with the unique and talented Directional mind of J.J. Abrams this movie shut all the ... Read More
