Well, I just got of this film:
What a great way to start the summer movie season. It's big, loud, and doesn't break any real ground. But MI3 is one hell of a ride. This is popcorn summer action at its finest. JJ Abrams brought his A-Game, as did Phillip Seymour Hoffman (who is uber bada$$, but doesn't really have much screentime).
I had heard that people in early screenings cheered for Hoffman, and cheered for Cruise...when he was getting the s*** knocked out of him. That was definitely NOT the case in my screening. Cruise was the man, and Abrams did a fine job of injecting a smidget of heart into the action.
The movie is uber cool and you'll be grinning from ear-to-ear through the whole thing. Smart, funny, and just plain sweet candy for your eyeballs, MI3 simply rocks.
**** out of *****
