Mission: Impossible 3

[The Caped Knight]

I say this now Philp Seymour Hoffman is a badass villian, IMO he's the best villian from the MI movie trilogy

The Countdown [1-10] in the opening before the credits [was bone chilling] Philp Seymour Hoffman was a badass in that scene . t: t:

Then The final fight between him & Ethan was awesome .

I have to say that I feel MI3 further proves that Tom Cruise is a damn good actor. Say what you will about his crazy-ass personal life, but he's extremely compelling to watch on the screen.

Cruise is an awesome actor, but his personal life is screwed-up Big-Time .

1. MI: III - Badass The Best MI yet [More Team players than just Ethan]

2. MI : I - The Original [badass Tom]

3. MI: II - SUCKS - [the worst Tom Cruise movie ever made.]

I'm not a fan of the second movie, but it is a very auteur movie. John Woo has a style all of his own, and has redefined action cinema in the 80's all by himself. People have tried to mimmick him, but what they fail to realised is that there's more than just the awesome gun fight in his movies, but also a surreal crazy (and often absurd) degree to his work. Bad guys are EVIL. And good guys are nearly invincible.

People will look at Mission impossible 2 as an auteur movie in the following years, and when they'll read more about the history of action cinema, they'll come to respect Woo even more, even though he has become a sort of parody of himself in the last decade.

MI2 was just plain boring to me. It didn't capture me at all like MI2 and MI3 did. Woo was like trying really hard to make Cruise the American James Bond in MI2.

Oh, I still do not like the movie, mind you. But I'd say Woo was more trying to make Cruise into a Chow Yon Fat on acid with a big budget than a James Bond character.

Made for some very funny scenes, and for that alone, for the first time since I saw it in theatres, I wan't to watch it again.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Really? After seeing it in theatres I just completely put it on the ignored sequels list. MI3 is my MI2. Well to each his own.

 

[NOFX]

Yay! Just got via Netflix!

 

[TheSaintofKillers]

Well, the third one blew me away. It's easily the one that I prefer in the whole trilogy. I'm just saying I respect John Woo, and it isn't it's fault how the second movie ended up being, but rather the people who choose John Woo to helm it. If you choose John Woo, of course it's going to end up that way.

But damn the third one was intense. From the beginning to the end, it was easily the most intense movie of this year.

I actually felt a lot like I did last year when I watched War of the worlds, which is being pull into the movie's action from the beginning to the end. Which is funny, because it so happen Cruise played in both movie, and i'm not even fan of his, heh.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah it is sad the MI3 didn't even come close to MI2's box office.

 

[TheSaintofKillers]

Yeah, quite sad. I've realised how detached I am to the american public these last few years. Last year, I was hooked by Spielberg's magnificient War of the worlds, but even though it turned out to do a lot of money, many people didn't like it, which surprised me considering how good it was. Same with this year, when I saw Mission impossible 3 in a free preview a week before it came out, I was blow away from the beginning to the end. It was that damn good. And yet, I got surprised again by both people and it's box office.

And then I got surprised again with Superman returns, but that's for another thread, heh.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

The bridge scene alone blew away pretty much all the action I saw in MI2. I mean you can't really blame this Hollywood types for continuing to churn out all of this **** movies because people are paying to see them. And it sucks when these high ****ing quality films just do average business like for example The Prestige which I think is up there for the best film of the year. So when these awesome movies I want to see more of just do mediocre numbers and movies like MI2 just clean-up at the box office it just makes me sad.

Well, to be fair, MI2 made those crazy numbers not because of it's quality, but because of the hype following the first movie. Most people didn't like MI2. The third one coming out after such a disappointing (in most people's mind) sequel, it suffered from it. It's that easy, really.

Oh, and there was no way The prestige would make a buttload of money, especially around the time it came out. I'm pretty sure the studios knew about that, and if they didn't, they are more stupid than I though.

M:I3 didn't do as well because the American public was turned off by Cruise. It's unfortunate, but people are ******ed.

That, and the bad reception the second one had. Put these two factors together, and it's evident the movie didn't have the success studios though it would.

A pity, for it deserves far better than most big action movies out there.
