What'd you guys think? I thought it was pretty good... but I hated all the masks people were wearing. Got confused at a few points. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm not going to be seeing this as 1: Cruise is a looney tune, and 2: I absolutely hated the crapfest that the first two were.

<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#009999">This is supposed to be the best of the series. But since Cruise is on the Canadian Dollar and I did not like the other two movies I think I may rent.</font>

I just saw it, and I think it was the best of the series, I was pleasantly surprised.

It was okay, I was entertained and do not regret spending the money.

They've all had over the top stuff in them -- from the exploding helicopter jump onto a moving train in #1 to the motorcycles riding on their front wheels in #2. A little ridiculousness is anticipated with these movies.

Note that the acting was pretty good. The actual acting. The opening scene was good, not a big run-and-gun fight, just some acting. Imagine that.

... and in comparison, the ending sucked so hard, even Dyson's vacuum-cleaners can't compete against that.

Overall, a good popcorn-flick. I was entertained, some of the stuff was definitely over the top and some things were not explained. But who cares? Tom Cruise pulls it off again.

I particularly liked the shoe in the end, you know with the truck hitting the guy in the face? Overall Mi:III took itself much less serious than the others. Even though there was more of a story and better acting. Like when Ethan Hunt says "I'll see you back home", the big guy sais "Ethan they probably want to kill you both" Hunt answers "Well than I would see you back home"
I consider these kind of jokes a welcome break from the clichés.
