Watch Mission: Impossible III For Free

Really Surprised!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The famous director J.J Abrahams adds color to the third film after the second film has brought the series to the breathtaking and traceabilityIn the second film, we saw many things about Asia, with these films, both these are getting up and there are quality action scenes, we see the film and the drama in a fluent way, and meanwhile we wanted to touch the movie, there is music almost everybody else made this film more influential In short, watch the movie for sure

In many ways, Mission: Impossible III laid the groundwork for what followed. It was in production in the height of Bourne revitalising the spy genre, around the same time as Casino Royale similarly breathed new life into Bond. It took the over-the-top action of II and grounded it into something a little more gritty and emotionally affecting. It put Ethan in the retired camp, wanting to settle down with a wife and dragged back in after the death of a former trainee. Unfortunately it pales in comparison to it's cousins, who did similar but simply better. In the microcosm of Mission: Impossible though, III was somewhat revolutionary, resurrecting a franchise many had thought dead after II wasn't quite as well received as anyone would have liked. And as I said, it laid the groundwork for what followed, and there's no denying how strong Rogue Nation and Fallout have been because of it. We simply wouldn't have those fantastic action movies without III.III carries the action focus on from II, but grounds it, and this is its greatest strength. As much as I love II, it's action scenes are over-the-top and cheesy, full of gadgetry and lacking in any intrigue. It's more like an old-school Bond movie than a Mission: Impossible movie. III brought Mission: Impossible back down, and it results in some fantastic action sequences. The opening factory rescue is stylish yet practical with lots of cool moments, and the team breaking into the Vatican to get at Davian is some of the most intriguing spy work in the entire franchise. Then there's the breakout on the bridge which throws around and batters Ethan more than ever before, not only showing his humanity as a hero, but also providing some really touch-and-go moments.But another of III's strength is in it's character work and world building. I mean it's still a Mission: Impossible film, and expecting something truly great in this regard is unrealistic, but it does add a hell of a lot not only to Ethan as a character, but the world he inhabits as well. We finally get to see inside the IMF, and all the cogs that make it tick, from tech analysts and medical examiners to a hierarchy of management and reference to trainers and trainees. It's not just Ethan being gifted mysterious exploding mission packages from a faceless spy organisation any more. Furthermore we get to see a more mature side of Ethan thanks to Julia, his wife-to-be, and the reason why he wants to retire. It goes a long way to add some very real stakes, as well as giving Tom Cruise something to really sink his teeth into.The opening interrogation sequence is almost pitch perfect in every way with how Tom Cruise and Philip Seymour Hoffman bounce off one another. Ethan is desperate and powerless, attempting to reason with a different kind of ticking clock, and Davian is calm, cruel, and cold. Honestly the entire movie lies on how strong these two performances are. Cruise was never going to win any awards for this, obviously, but the performance he offers proves he can carry emotional beats as well as physical ones. Philip Seymour Hoffman though, steals the limelight. Davian honestly isn't all that an engaging villain on paper. He's an arms dealer who has connections he really shouldn't, and when sleighted, he takes what ultimately amounts to petty vengeance. However Hoffman manages to elevate the character off the page into a franchise-best villain. His delivery is calm and threatening, quietly aggressive until he needs to be more forceful. The way he threatens Ethan and everyone he loves while in a position to not really be making threats, with a cool and calm demeanour as if everything he says is just everyday language, gives him such a nasty edge that you love to hate. Davian turns from a lacklustre villain into a nasty, vindictive, unfeeling asshole all thanks to Hoffman's performance alone.But III isn't perfect, and as I said it lacks something that Bourne and Craig-era Bond manage to tap into. It's still kind of cheesy. The settling-down/romantic element of III is something I love about it in concept, and it changed up the tone of the franchise massively. And yet oft times it still feels like a sappy romance shoehorned in to a movie that is at odds with it. The happy-ever-after ending, with Ethan walking away hand-in-hand with Julia doesn't particularly help either. There's a reason why Vesper doesn't make it out of Casino Royale alive, and it's because our heroes are more interesting and engaging when they're not tied to a love interest. It's no surprise, of course, that Ghost Protocol (as far as I can remember - it's been a while) completely drops the whole thing as if it never happened.The other thing that bugs me, moreso now than it used to, is the cinematography. This is J.J. Abrams' feature directorial debut, and he brings his television sensibilities with him somewhat. His trademark lens flare dates back to this (and possibly before), and that coupled with the Bourne trend of shaky-cam results in some messy shots. There's also a lot of close-ups, which don't help the shaky-cam, but they do add a lot of intensity and emotional claustrophobia. But what gets me now is the colour-pallet, which still looks quite television-y. It's super bright and colourful with really sharp contrasts, and while it does give it its own visual identity, it doesn't always look that great. When Tom Cruise looks like he has jaundice, maybe you should consider adjusting the colour balance a bit.Don't get me wrong though, III is still a fine addition to the franchise, and it's probably safe to say that it was the best Mission: Impossible movie at the time. It showed a self-awareness that let you know it never takes itself too seriously, and knows exactly where it came from. It helps that there's a lot of great stuff here that's enough to overshadow the slightly irksome. Davian is simply delectable, and seeing Ethan hunt desperate and struggling really helped the franchise in the long-run. Really good action sequences helped too, of course. I give Mission: Impossible III an enjoyable 7/10, that has unfortunately been overshadowed by both its follow-ups and its cousins of the time, but is still pretty good in its own right, and it gave us Benji, so plus points there too.

Continuing my plan to watch every Tom Cruise movie in order, I come to Mission Impossible 3 (2006)Plot In A Paragraph: Agent Ethan Hunt (Cruise) comes into conflict with a dangerous and sadistic arms dealer (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) who threatens his life and his fianceé in response.This is the directorial debut of J.J. Abrams and was released at a time when Cruise was still being ridiculed for jumping on Oprah's sofa when promoting War Of The Worlds.I remember really liking this when it was released, thinking it brought the franchise (and ended it) on the right track. A really enjoyable popcorn flick is how I remembered it!! Watching it now I was disappointed in it, and found myself playing with my phone in several occasions. Is it silly to be disappointed in a pop corn flick?? The movie does a lot of things right, but it does nearly as many things wrong. I'll start with what I liked first. Right at the top of the list by a mile is a surprisingly intimidating Philip Seymour Hoffman. Owen Davian isn't the usual lunatic or a cultured villain. He's a deadly serious man who has no problems with killing anyone who gets in his way or those that let him down. Cruise's Ethan Hunt is a bit more human this time round, Laurence Fishburne is decent in his M like role and Simon Pegg is equally fun in his Q type role. The movie opens with a great, intense two-minute pre-credits scene. Sadly the Bond-like pre credits sequence is so intense, a lot of what follows fella flatter, as we wait to catch up to that scene. The latex face device from the first two movies is still being used and despite a lot actions set pieces it lacks excitement. It's better than the second one, but not as good as the first. Overall it's nothing more than a routine action movie, when I remembered much more. I think Cruise's reputation at the time probably hurt this at the box office, as it finished the 14th highest grossing movie of the year, with a domestic gross of $134 million.

J.J. Abrams is the director for part three in the Mission: Impossible franchise, meaning that there is an excess of lens flares but also a surfeit of top-notch action making this one yet another small step in the right direction for the series.This time around, retired agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) goes back in the field to try and apprehend Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a sadistic arms dealer who is trying to get his hands on a device code-named "The Rabbit's Foot". In doing so, Hunt not only puts his own life at risk but also that of his wife Julia (Michelle Monaghan).Where parts 1 and 2 were sparing with their action scenes, Mission: Impossible III's pace is much faster, Abrams going all out for tension and excitement, including a superb helicopter chase through a wind-farm, Hunt breaking into the Vatican to capture Davian, an explosive attack on a bridge, and a perilous leap for our hero from one skyscraper to another. As slam-bang Summer blockbusters go, it definitely doesn't disappoint, even though the plot does tend to get a bit silly at times (yes, the rubber mask disguise routine makes an appearance and is still as daft as ever).In the supporting roles, Hoffman makes for a very credible villain, Monaghan is likable as Hunt's Achilles heel, Simon Pegg is reasonable enough as comic relief tech geek Benji Dunn, and Maggie Q supplies the glamour as IMF agent Zhen Lei (while also adding appeal for the Asian market). Billy Crudup and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, on the other hand, are forgettable and Ving Rhames is sorely wasted.
