Mission: Impossible 3

[Master Chief]

I wish for once the CPR would just f**king actually work like it should for once. Or they at least start with the damn pounding.

 

[TheVileOne]

No it was the Hanzo foundation dedication in the credits.

The other stuff is just Abrams rehashing and ripping himself off.

 

[JackBauer]

anyway, just came back from watching it. I really liked it, it was pretty f***in cool, but I liked the first one better.

the twists were WAAAAAY obvious... I mean, they practically gave it up when

Spoiler

Musgrave helped Ethan escape. I mean, why would Brassell, if he was supposed to be in Davian's pocket, keep Ethan arrested, when he'd know Ethan had to retrieve the Rabbit's Feet?

which was a shame, because that bit wasn't even necessary, seeing as how Ethan, superagent that he is could've easily

Spoiler

found a way to escape on his own

. True, it'd be farfetched, but then the MI movies aren't exactly known for extreme realism...

 

[JackBauer]

Yeah, that played out nearly identically to Charlies run-in on Lost.

heh, after that scene I actually pictured Jack and Charlie kissing after...

Yeah I agree. Though I had Musgrave pegged as soon as he appeared. The first movie had a much better plot IMHO.

It had a more complex and intriguing plot, but Mi3 is a more entertaining film, IMO.

yeah, you can always tell that

Spoiler

the ******* isn't going to be the double agent.

it's like a rule or something...

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

I felt that the movie needed more Seymour Hoffman, his scenes kicked ass when he was onscreen. Unfortunatly there wasnt enough of his badassness, he was very underutilized.

 

[JackBauer]

one thing this movie did manage to do great, though, is actually make me care about Ethan. mostly because of Julia, and mostly because of Monaghan. yeah, I'm shallow, I know.

he did steal the movie...

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

he did steal the movie...

I know, but I wanted more

 

[Master Chief]

I love how he wakes up and immediately just starts telling Ethan what he's going to do.

was sweet as hell!

Speaking of Jack aka Matthew Fox, I honestly felt that he would've cured the movie of the problems I had with it if he'd have been in Tom Cruise's role. He has a good emotional and comedic range for that part.

Hell yeah it was, the audience cheered and clapped when that occured.

I didn't think Cruise was a "problem" at all for me. I put his offscreen shiznit to the side. Yes, he's a wack job in real life, but onscreen I like Tom.

Same here. People were behind Cruise/Ethan all the way, no matter how bada$$ Hoffman was.

So the hardcore Lost fans would approve of Matthew Fox running around kicking ass even though his character in that show is reluctant to such acts?

He did a terrific job as Hunt in this installment (aside from the early romance scenes), but I found myself bored by watching him, it was just a natural feeling from his overexposure. I actually chuckled when I saw him in

Spoiler

priest get-up

because I bet he had to do like eight weeks of alien spirit worshiping to make up for it. I have too much knowledge about him that it takes me out of the movie when I see stuff like that, regardless of how I felt before going into the movie.

hahaha, no, I meant if Matthew Fox was in the lead, not Jack getting off the island and joining the IMF.

Fair enough. I can see how people feel that way. I guess I'm just a...forgiving person.

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

Jack getting off the island and joining the IMF.

Ah I get it now, JJ Abrams is setting Lost up to have Jack do just that

 

[LostSon88]

Is MI: III more faithful to the television series?

If it is...maybe i'll give it a shot.

If the televisions series you are thinking of is Alias? Yes.

If its the Mission Impossible series? No.
