Think Mission Impossible III is going to suck?

Does it seem a little odd that its one week from being released and you can't find diddly about the plot, who some of the characters are, or much of anything besides a number of snipped action scenes in the trailer?

Usually if a movie sucks, and the studio knows it, they act like a bunch of cats trying to bury a turd.

So is this all clever marketing, or will Tom Cruise be looking to score some Paxil from Brooke Shields?

Here's a review:

Originally Posted by PopSecret.com
In the 3rd installment of the TV show-turned-movie franchise, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) comes out of his comfy, safe job of training agents and goes back into the field to save an agent of importance (Keri Russell). A crack team (Ving Rhames, Jonathan Rhys Meyers & Maggie Q) assists him to save the agent and thwart the plans of the lethally sadistic Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman).

Davian is a black-market dealer who sells high-end devices of destruction to terrorists. Supervisor Brassel (Lawrence Fishburne) has a problem with this operation and causes trouble for Hunt and his new boss, John Musgrave (Billy Crudup). Following the plot of M:I 1, Hunt has to uncover a mole working inside the operation before they go after his new wife, Julia (Michelle Monaghan). Can Ethan save her and find the White Rabbit (and even drink from a bottle to go on a little mind trip) for Davian before he kills her or the world?

MI: III is directed by J.J. Abrams, the creator of ?Lost? and ?Alias,? so the guy has some great credentials and talent. Enough credentials to reportedly give him the reigns to the most expensively budgeted movie by a debut film director - and it shows. There are stunts and action scenes galore in this film. Most of them are pretty awesome, even if they are a bit goofy at times. There?s even one scene that?s straight out of a ?Road Runner? cartoon.

That being said, Abrams and his co-writers, Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci, who have a lot of credits between them for shows such as ?Xena,? ?Hercules? and ?Jack Of All Trades,? have written some very predictable material that has Cruise and Monaghan crying, or at least tearing up enough that it makes Michael Landon look like an amateur. Not that there?s anything wrong with showing some tender emotions in an action film, but this was a little too much. Fortunately the rest of the huge cast don?t shed tears, just some blood and sweat.

If you take your brain out at the door, then you?ll enjoy the heck out of MI:3. Otherwise, you?ll realize how ridiculous some of the actions and motives of the characters are. Once you do that you?ll start doubting every character and everything gets ruined. For action fans, Mission: Impossible III is going to be the first blockbuster out of the gate this summer.

Here's a couple of good reviews:

In a world of ever-present danger, at a time when evil stalks the globe ... oooops, that was meant for the trailer. Like their trailers, action films are meant to be predictable, as they confront our deepest fears, so they can vanquish them. It's a kind of mass psycho-therapy session, and even at $15, a lot cheaper. In this regard, tickets to M:I III should be claimable under health insurance. Evil is defeated, but only at great cost and after much effort. The real question is how, and that's where J.J. Abrams and the whole team comes in.

Notably, there is enough time and effort spent on the romantic relationship between Ethan (Tom Cruise in fully committed form) and Julia (a terrific Michelle Monaghan) to make it a real emotional investment for us, which pays off in terms of 'grip'. And the action is writ with a capital A.

The film takes two big risks, and one of them comes off. This is the structure; the opening sequence is instant high tension as we see Ethan (Tom Cruise) bound to a chair in a dangy setting, opposite a terrified and gagged woman, facing death at the count of 10. The scene is lifted from the story further down the line, in an effort to set us up for the risks that Ethan is about to face. We don't see the outcome, but it looks bad.

This ups the ante considerably, and the tension is held taut for the entire running time (2 hours); but the action and the personal, intimate relationship between Ethan and this woman - whose identity we don't yet know - adds a deeper resonance to the film, which already has a really effective villain in Philip Seymour Hoffman and inspired direction.

The second risk is less successful and alert audiences will find it a problem: without wanting to give too much away, though, it's hard to discuss, except to say it has to do with a crucial plot point involving Ethan masquerading as someone else. The effective and rapid making of the face mask, along with a voice patch, is brilliantly realised, but the hands are a giveaway in the transition. This can suddenly take us 'out of the picture' for a while, although I hasten to add it doesn't ruin the excitement.

Indeed, excitement is what this film delivers, sticking to the clever concept of the original TV series, which never showed the real details of the extraordinary planning for each mission. The team is suddenly fully equipped with all the gizmos they need, everyone knows the plan and the technology works as designed. By paring things down to this extent, the film becomes a streamlined rocket capable of super-terrific entertainment delivery.
------------------------------------
Review by Louise Keller:
Mission: Impossible III is everything you expect and more. Dense and fast-paced with stunts to knock your socks off, as an action thriller, it is hard to beat. Besides, Philip Seymour Hoffman's ultra dark villain Davian is chillingly good, countering Tom Cruise's charismatic hero Ethan Hunt. Cruise does the impossible, as he leaps off tall buildings, falls through the sky, climbs up walls, springs through elevator shafts, escapes from tight spots that would impress even Houdini, and walks away unblemished after being run over by a truck. He is good at maths too. There are car chases, an impressive helicopter pursuit through a field of windmills at night, somersaulting cars ablaze, a dynamite-shattered bridge to name but a few. And Cruise revs up his motorbike, hits the gas in a speedboat and pounds the footpath like there is no tomorrow. Faster than the wind and he doesn't seem to puff.

The stunts amaze us, and each one is more spectacular than the last. Not much concentration is required to enjoy the fireworks, but you need a degree in Mission Impossinology to keep up with the plot. Ving Rhames effectively echoed my thoughts as Cruise catapults from one sky scraper to another, saying rather lamely, 'I knew he'd make it.' Our hero is never seriously in jeopardy - the risk factor is slight. Director J. J Abrams brings style and scale to this impressive production whose locations are as diverse as Rome's Holy Vatican to the ancient fishing villages of Shanghai. The Vatican scenes are especially fresh, and the sequence when Hunt dons a disguise that renders Davian speechless in the ornate rest room's guilded mirror, is one of the film's best.

I suppose Ethan Hunt is the man many men aspire to be. Charismatic and courageous with a well-toned body. A man, not a boy. One who tackles issues of major significance, like saving the world. The magic of the movies blurs the line between Ethan Hunt and Tom Cruise. And as we all know, they both get the girl. In Hunt's case, the girl is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's luscious Michelle Monahan. She may think her man is a trafficologist to begin with, but she is super quick on the uptake when it comes to bang bang action. All the team plays its part well - sultry Jonathan Rhys Meyers, glamorous martial arts star Maggie Q, Billy Crudup, Laurence Fishburne and Keri Russell.

That haunting pum, pum, pahda, pum, pum Mission Impossible music theme by Lalo Schifrin is as compelling as ever, signalling each major action sequence. Rip-roaring action with unlimited energy, Mission: Impossible III delivers escapism - stylishly.

Given the rapid evolution of computer-generated FX lately, a growing emphasis on story elements is probably going to be the key factor determining this movie's success.

Yup, Cruise is now in that curiously creepy category. He's being spoken about in the same conversations as Michael Jackson now a days.

So I just got back from watching Mission Impossible III, and honestly it does suck.

Roger Ebert gave it only two and a half stars and he was right on the money!

It would have sucked more if I had to pay for the movie, the asshats in the theater prematurely turned on the lights 10 minutes from the end and I asked for my money back, and got it.

Honestly, the only real good money shot scene is partially shown in the commericals on the bridge. That was really J.J. Abrams trying to redo the bridge scene out of True Lies, and here he does it masterfully.

Everything else in this movie is Alias meets James Bond. Trust me when I say you can wait for the DVD, or Mr. Pran with the DVD knockoffs at the flea market.
