Mission Impossible 3

MI3 marks the beginning of the summer blockbuster season. After MI3 comes the other big movies of the year, X-Men, Da Vinci Code, Superman... And I think it's quite a good start.

The story is a little convoluted. As were the previous two movies. They try to be smart, but think they often end up just being confusing. Double cross here, secret agent there, no big surprises here.

But the action. Oh my goodness, the action... I think it all comes together in a very nice package. Although they were set-pieces with soppy interludes here and there, the action sequences were exciting. And they came fast and furious. The rescue sequence, the vatican sequence, the escort sequence, etc, etc. Super cool.

If you are looking for intellectual stimilultion, forget it. Give this show a miss. If you want wham-bang action.... this show is just the thing for you!
