Mission: Impossible 3

[Mentok]

Well I thought a Splinter Cell movie was in development?

It is but its taking way too long

Here's the thing about M:I-2; had it been a stand alone film with no connection to the Mission Imposible franchise, it might of been acceptable. As a film, it still had a lot I took issue with, especially how quickly they threw Cruise and Newton in bed together. Hunt shouldn't be James Bond.

The problem with M:I-2 was the fact that it was such a drastic departure from the first film. People who took issue with the plot of the first film forced producers to go more the action movie route than the spy thriller route of the first film. And the whole "team" dynamic was a lot stronger in the first film. The second one was just all about Cruise. And while Ethan Hunt is sort of a badass in the first one, him becoming the long-haired wannabe rebel in the second one just made me gag. And for the love of god, the doves!! OH!! THE DOVES!!! WHY, JOHN WOO?!?!? WHY?!?!?!?

hey... Woo used the Doves better in Face/off than in M:I:II. The only good things in MI2 were the stunts

The missile hits behind him, he is running away... why does the explosion throw him to the side and onto a car?

The impact jerking the bridge into that direction.

MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE 3 (or M:I:III - with the first I standing for "Impossible" and the the last three Is being roman numerals and currently setting a record for most amount of colon usage in a film title) isn't set for release until May but you can already start getting yourself ready for the action. At the film's official site, you can register to take part in the upcoming "Ultimate Mission: M:I:III Global Hunt," an online scavenger hunt that can nab you a trip to the film's premiere should you choose to accept it. And why wouldn't you? You, Cruise, Katie, junior....how can you miss? So what exactly is the "Ultimate Mission" scavenger hunt? It's described as a "multimedia" scavenger hunt that will "challenge your skills locating and deciphering clues all over the internet." Considering you spend most of your day locating naked pictures of celebrities, this should be right up your alley. Head over to the film's official site to register for the hunt, which begins in February. While you're there, you can always check out the film's teaser trailer and poster and listen to the iconic theme song over and over and over and over again until you want to scream "red light, green light!" and jump off an exploding helicopter onto a moving train.

Last I heard it was dead for now.

And Tom Cruise can do whatever he wants, he will always be inferior to Jason Bourne.

^^ if you say so ....


.... when is that next Bourne movie coming out?

Sooner then it took for this MI sequel crap to get made.

And the next Bourne movie will be superior to MI: 3 as well.

sure... as long as the Director and the cameraman stop using the F**KING shaky cam thing, really, BS could have been awesome if it wasnt for that... but still, that chase at the end was mind blowing, on of the best ever

Doug Liman, the director of Bourne Identity is doing Bourne Ultimatum, and I don't remember all too well, but I don't think Liman used shakey cam in Identity. Plus he didn't use shakey cam in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, so I don't think he'll do that for Ultimatum. Your wish might just be granted.

But after Ultimatum, I wonder if they'll continue to adapt more of Ludlum's novels.

how many are there?.. i thought it was a trilogy... its great that Liman is doing it, he's better than the guy who did BS.

Greengrass did a pretty good job, but like you said, if it weren't for the shakey cam.

It is a trilogy but Ludlum did other books not about Bourne. And I think Eric Van Lustbader is doing a second Bourne Trilogy where Bourne is much older, and I believe it focuses on his daughter as well. If they ever do that one they're probably going to have to wait until Matt Damon is much older.

are the books any good?.. are they even out yet?

Greengrass did do a good job but the shaky cam thing was way too much.

 

[The Phantom]

I haven't read the new ones yet. But the first one came out.

EDIT: I was wrong. It looks to be a standalone. Don't know what made me think it was a trilogy. Sorry about that.

No he's not. I want to know where the hell that was reported because its not true.

And Liman DID use hand-held camera and photography for The Bourne Identity, just not as much as Supremacy.

But after Ultimatum, I wonder if they'll continue to adapt more of Ludlum's novels.

There are only three Ludlum Bourne novels. He didn't write Bourne Legacy.

It was awesome IN SPITE of that. They made it work and it made the action sequences more kinetic and added more an active viewing and gritty, realistic aspect to the movies.

And once again, superior on every level to the MI movies or Tom Cruise vanity projects as I like to call them.

I like the Bourne movies, though they are a tad bit overrated and don't follow the book at all, but that is beside the point.

As for Mission Impossible. The first one is a classic spy thriller. But the second is a terrible movie. It has no plot and is just a rip off of James Bond and trying to Americanize him for the Jerry Brucheimer audience. The plot was trite. He became a super-spy who had to rely on slow mo and doves to the point of annoyance and unintentional giggling. There was no team dynamic and the villain was terribly boring.

As for this one, well the villain in Phillip Seymore Hoffman looks really good, but Tom Cruise looks really bad in this, just another star vehicle and his performance just from the teaser reminds me more of his boring character portrayal from the second one moreso than the first and the heavy action also reminds me of the second more than the first with little comment on the plot.

I'll see it, but I have low expectations and suspect the only good thing will be Phillip Seymore Hoffman as the villain.

Oh well.

I pretty much agree with everything you said. But MI3 looks like it is bringing back the espionage and teamwork that the 2nd was horribly lacking with a mixture of the action that the 2nd had. But I know Seymour Hoffman is going to have an amazing performance so there is at least one thing I know will be good. Whoever thought to cast him is a genius.
