No mission is Impossible

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...This review is on the 2006, trilogy, Mission Impossible 3 starring Tom Cruise, as IFM agent Ethan Hunt. Now I was a really big fan of the first mission impossible, and then kind of let down by the second one, however again like the first one I liked the final instalment, because it was so much different in terms of storyline, style, action scenes and so on. The film was directed by JJ Abrams, who most people may no from such film as Cloverfeild, and TV shows such as Alias and Lost. He's a brilliant director, he does some of the most intense action sequences, and it pulls of really well. For people whom haven't seen the mission impossible film, the main background plot is that Ethan Hunt works for a special government agency known as the IMF, Impossible Mission Force, who is like a MI6 type organization. There goals are to stop all...

Review of Mission: Impossible 3 (Special Collector's Edition) (DVD)

Another Impossible Mission?

Advantages: Good action sequences
Disadvantages: A bit predictable

...about this film that lets it down is that there are no surprises. You kind of know what you're getting from the title, and you know early on from the story itself how its all going to turn out. But it is the third in the series, so perhaps a bit of predictability isn't the worst thing that could happen to it. All in all, this is the best of the Mission Impossible films, proving that a sequel can be every bit as good as the original, and sometimes better than the films that predecess it. If they keep making the Missions like this, then I'll be happy to keep going to the cinema to see them. Having purchased only the single disc edition of the film, I couldn't possibly comment on the quality of the 2 disc format. However, with a making of documentary, some commentary's, and a few deleted scenes, its clear to see that even on the single...

After 25 years, Impossible Mission is back - now on Nintendo Ds

Advantages: Great to relive memories
Disadvantages: Not deep enough gameplay

...This review is for the Nintendo DS game, Impossible Mission, developed by System 3 and published by Warner Bros. This platform game is a modernisation of the Commodore 64 release of nearly 25 years. Remaking an old game is always a dangerous thing to do, some remember the original as it is and rather it wasn?t modernised, but without modernisation the game can be just too old fashioned despite the happy memories that players might have of it. Many do have fond memories of this game, partly remembered for being the first game to have speech as one of the effects. For those that haven?t played, the game plot is quite simple. You have to go round numerous rooms avoiding enemies who can electrify you, including a ball which hovers near you and can cause damage unless you can ?snooze? it. You have to explore the rooms to find 36...

MIssion Impossible...Never

Advantages: JJ Abrams, Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman. better than the M:I II
Disadvantages: Ridiculous in parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Mission: Impossible 3. The movie star that guarantees global box office success has teamed up with the director who is now known to create small screen phenomena. Yes Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, aka Tom Cruise, has joined forces with Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, (better known as J.J. Abrams) creator of Alias and Lost, for the third installment of the multi-million dollar franchise. Question is, will Abrams make the transition from TV to movies or will he fall flat on his face and do to M.I: III what Joel Schumacher did to Batman? Ethan Hunt, at his engagement party has seemed to finally put his secret agent past behind him. He has a beautiful new lady who goes by the name of Julia (Michelle Monaghan) and is living life to the full. However a phone call from his IMF agency ignites the flickering flame of curiosity for Hunt. After receiving...

Your Mission, Should You Accept It - Is To Read This Review!

Advantages: Fast pacy spy adventure, with great music and some equally great stunts.
Disadvantages: Stunts a bit far fetched - but you expect that with this sort of film.

...Mission Impossible (1996) We just felt in the mood for an older movie, but an excellent film all the same to watch as a family, as pickings are a bit slim at the moment. My children picked it for us to watch as a family. What's it all about? Of course the film is based upon the same set up used in the television series of the same name. Having said this, I have not watched any of the original series as this was before my time. The film is a secret agent movie, with a group of agents given the task of going to Prague to stop a top secret list of agents, passing into the hands of traitors. The group are told to walk away if the mission fails and that their bosses will not admit to knowing them if they are captured. The mission does go awry and it seems that all of the agents are killed, all except for Ethan Hunt (Tom...

Mission Impossible Poo? Not quite, but nearly

Advantages: Some outstanding action
Disadvantages: A lot of twaffle in-between

...the technical accomplishment and the support cast. The technical accomplishment is good for physical effects (like stuff being blown up etc.) but the composite effects are generally far more ropey. This is rather surprising given the huge budget of the movie and considering that, admittedly unusual as it is, the effects of the first [Mission: Impossible] movie were perfect. Literally perfect. The support cast is really wasted. Dougray Scott tries to be menacing but doesn't succeed. The script tells us that "every hero needs a villain... every superhero needs a supervillain." Well, Scott's character is not a supervillain. Thandie Newton fares quite well as the world's cutest professional thief but gets dumped by the script about halfway through. She is very, very cute and looks fabulous throughout but is clearly a far, far better actress than...

Mission Impossible 3...The best yet

Advantages: From start to finish it's pure action
Disadvantages: Special features are hardly worth it

...The third installment in the mission impossible series promises to be action packed and the best MI movie yet....but does it deliver? The film starts off introducing Ethans new fiance a pretty young nurse who is completely oblivious to Ethans real job. Unlike the other 2 movies Ethan Hunt is now a teacher . He teaches other potential IMF agents. He is lured back into action when one of his pupils becomes captured. He faces his worst enemy yet...a sadistic arms dealer called Owen Davian. His mission takes him from Rome to Shanghai as he tries to rescue the agent. Unfortunately Ethans girlfriend gets wrapped up in it when she is kidnapped in a bid to get Ethan to help steal 'the Rabbits Foot' in order to save his girlfriend. Unlike the other 2 mission impossible films this one is more focussed on Ethans relationship. However...

We want mission impossible 3 now...

Advantages: good acting throughout.
Disadvantages: can get a bit confusing.

...Tom Cruise and director John Woo team up for the high-voltage, heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat action thriller "Mission Impossible 2," a non-stop rush of excitement. This movie has got it all, action, suspense, drama, romance, comedy, and everything you could want, all in 1 film! In the movie Ethan Hunt (Cruise) is called in to investigate an all too unlikely plane crash. In addition he is order to make contact with a civilian jewel thief named Nyah Nordoff-Hall (Thandie Newton) and recruit her for this mission. The particulars of the mission aren't revealed Hunt has contacted Nyah and met with his new boss, Swanbeck (Sir Anthony Hopkins). Before meeting with his boss, a relationship between Nyah and Hunt begins to grow (rather rapidly in fact) and when Hunt finally learns what her part of the mission is, he regrets having...

Your Mission Should You Choose To Accept It....

Advantages: great twists
Disadvantages: too complicated (maybe even impossible)

...Good Morning Mr Phelps... The man you are looking at is Alexander Golitsyn, an attaché at our embassy in Prague. He is also a traitor. He has stolen one half of the CIA NOC list, containing the names of all our deep cover agents. For security reasons it's split into 2. One half has the code names but is useless without it's mate which matches them to the real names. It is this half he plans to steal from the embassy tomorrow night. Your mission should you choose to accept it is to obtain photographic proof of the theft, shadow Golitsyn to his buyer and apprehend them both. As always should you, or any member of your IM force be caught or killed, the secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions..... I have fond memories of mission impossible. When I was a child me and my dad would watch the TV series on BBC I think it was...

Mission Impossible 2 DOES have plot

Advantages: Lots of suspense, lots of action, and don't forget TOM CRUISE!
Disadvantages: N/A

...I recently saw the movie Mission Impossible 2 and enjoyed it immensely. I recommended it for two days to many friends and co-workers only to have a spattering few come back to me, not raving and giving it accolades as I had, but badmouthing it, claiming it had no plot, weak characters and/or relied too heavily on special effects. Please take into consideration that I have not seen the first Mission Impossible, which many believed was the reason for my insane love of the movie. A few friends commented that it revolved around Ethan Hunt and not the whole group. Whatever the case may be, I believe the movie was excellent because, contrary to some remarks, there was a terrific plot to this movie. The essence of plot is the construction of a beginning, middle and end, which this movie easily satisfied. Another reason I enjoyed this...
