Mission: Impossible 3 (Widescreen Edition)

I love all the Mission Impossible movies! There's nothing else to say.

Love all the Mission Impossible series movies! I'm a Tom Cruise fan and think his movies, especially his stunts are incredible! They're fast paced and the stunts are amazing. Plenty of action and the story is also compelling. Love his movies!

Only get better as more recent are made.

Great movie and quality for a Mission Impossible marathon!

I avoided the third installment of Mission Impossible for the same reason a lot of people did: Tom Cruise. It's a tradeoff: a bankable star becomes a liability if you happen to dislike him. Of course, the people who don't like these big budget stars are usually not substantial enough to affect sales. Given Sumner Redstone's, CEO of Paramount, decision to cut ties with Cruise, it seems that his outrageous antics finally caught up with him.And that's a shame, because Mission Impossible III is really good.The problems I've had with the other installments revolved around what happened to the original conceit of the series: it was a carefully planned operation performed by a team. Being privy to the operation in the beginning, we worried for each agent as they performed their particularly dangerous and important task. This is the whole symbolism of the burning fuse: the agents light the fuse, but the conclusion is an inevitable explosion. In short, we knew what to expect and got it at every episode, even if there were a few twists and turns along the way.Thus making Mission Impossible a star vehicle is against the spirit of the series. There's no one star agent; there can't be, because every agent is important. Right? The first two movies forgot that point.In MI3, J.J. Abrams brings the series back to its roots. In essence, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) performs a standard mission extraction. They pull it off perfectly. There's just one problem: the bad guy (Owen Davian, played with chilling aplomb by Philip Seymour Hoffman) refuses to be interrogated. Utterly unafraid, he begins interrogating his interrogator. And suddenly, MI3 has been turned on its ear.What if everything went right, asks Abrams, and it still all went horribly wrong?What's so refreshing about MI3 is that even when Hunt defects, even when he's not sure who's on his side, his team sticks by him. When he goes rogue, his team goes with him. And when he goes on a mission to stop Davian, his teammates are right there in the mix, risking their lives for their leader.There are some amazing scenes, including a sliding fight on the rooftop of an office skyscraper and a helicopter battle in a wind turbine farm. Add into the mix a ticking time bomb and the tension and action keeps the audience on its toes.By never forgetting what made Mission Impossible great, Abrams brings the magic back. And Cruise delivers without hopping on a single couch.

I love Mission Impossible because of Tom Cruise!!! He is so good at all of his stunts. The story line is so engaging that the movie keeps you engage. Mission Impossible is a movie you want or need to see.

It took 3 trys and JJ Abrams (Lost, Alias etc)to finally get a great MI movie. And, unfortunately, it only took one crazy session of couch jumping on Opera to make a lot of people ignore it. Well, that and the audio players that were placed in LA Times newspaper vending machines to play the theme music when opened, that people mistook for bombs. That negative publicity at release time was very unfortunate because this is by far the best MI of the three.The trailer gives a good idea of the intense action and interactions between Cruise and Hoffman, who are both at the top of their form. I can't think of a film where either are better. This is an action film with some outlandish gadgets, just like the original TV series and chock full of action. So its not like the new Casino Royale [Blu-ray] or Bourne Trilogy (3pc) (Ws Dub Sub Ac3 Dol Gift) offerings which do not have anywhere near the gadgets that don't exist. This movie is like an update of an old Bond movie with its intense action and fantastic gear.The plot is no more outlandish then any vintage bond move and is followable. The action scenes are as good as any I have seen, and I am a movie buff. One of my favorite scenes is shot on the old bridge that goes to the Florida Keys. The amount of destruction in that one scene makes me wonder if that strip will be used in a film again.If you want to watch a great action flick with some intense action scenes I highly recommend MI3

Superbe troisième film de la saga Mission: impossible. Comme pour le n°2, ici le style est encore différent mais l'action est clairement au rendez-vous. Le film va à 100 à l'heure et nous emmène cette fois au Vatican et à Shanghai entre autres.Malgré sa retraite anticipée, Ethan Hunt est appelé à la rescousse pour sauver une de ses élèves car maintenant il enseigne les techniques de combat. Enlevée par un dangereux traffiquant d'armes de destruction massive, Ethan Hunt devra faire face à ce personnage incarné par le grandiose Phillip Seymour Hoffman.On retrouve une nouvelle fois Ving Rhames mais aussi deux nouvelles recrues dont la star montante Jonathan Rhys Meyer.Le film dure deux heures mais on ne voit pas le temps passer. JJ Abrams (créateur de la série LOST) a habilement donné un nouveau style à cette franchise alors que ce n'était pas chose facile après le deuxième épisode réalisé par John Woo qui avait placé la barre très haut.Un grand film d'action comme on aimerait en voir plus souvent.

"M:I-3" is the one film of the trilogy that almost never happened - delayed and cancelled so many times we thought it would never come. Ironic, then, that it is far and away the best film of the three. Where the original was a little bereft of big action sequences and the second blatantly self - indulgent in slow-mo shots of The Cruiser's floppy hair, the third strikes the perfect balance between top-drawer action, fantastic acting and an enthralling story-line. Largely due to J.J. Abrams' masterful directing, this film has blistering pace whilst taking the time to give us some truly memorable character acting. The support cast for the film is superb: despite limited screen time, Michelle Monaghan portrays a believably strong but vulnerable other half to Cruise's secret agent. And Ving Rhames' Luther Stickle is also a likeable and interesting performance. Most memorable however is Philip Seymour Hoffman as bad guy Owen Davien. He is a very, very bad man, always one step ahead of things, and the opening scene sets him up as a truly enthralling villain. But this film is all about one person: Tom Cruise. Looking at him move, run , fight, just be on the screen, it's hard to believe its ten years since the first "Impossible". He takes his character to new heights in this third outing, enhancing Hunt's humanity and showing us what really drives the man, what "pushes his buttons". This is helped by the on-screen chemistry with Monaghan, but also with Seymour Hoffman. He steals every scene with one quick knowing grin at the screen, and not just in the action sequences (almost all of which he performed himself); particularly memorable is an emotional sequence between Hunt and his wife-to-be, when The Cruiser takes up over 10 seconds of screen time in total silence, yet making it one of the most captivating scenes in the film. In simple terms, this "Mission" successfully completes the sometimes impossible task of a balanced action movie - a perfect blend of non stop, breath taking stunts with top notch acting. The Cruisr on top of his game.

La verdad que la compré en 4K porque es de las pocas ediciones que trae un Bluray extra de contenido adicional con una duración de casi 2 horas,un autentico disfrute para quien quiera saberlo TODO sobre la pelicula.

Mission Impossible 3 sees Tom Cruise return as Ethan Hunt to retrieve a very dangerous device called the Rabbits Foot for bad guy arms dealer Owen Davian (Phillip Seymour Hoffman), who's holding Ethan's wife hostage as a way to blackmail Ethan into stealing the aforementioned device. The Rabbits foot is really just a Macguffin. What matters here is that Ethan Hunt and his team must risk life and limb to steal the device in order to save Ethan's wife. There's a much bigger focus on the team collaboration in MI3 than the previous films and it makes a huge difference. The action in this movie is just about the most thrilling i've ever seen. That's really all you need to know to be honest. The entire cast puts in a great performance. Lawrence Fishburn is a great addition to the cast as Ethan's hardline boss. The locations are interesting. It's funny at the right moments and it has a good ending. My only complaint (it's more of an observation though) is that the dramatic scenes are a bit overdone for my taste. I think this is perhaps because the chemistry between Michelle Monaghan and Tom Cruise provide little spark. I think the film would have benefitied greatly if Thandie Newton had reprised her role from MI2. MI3 is a five star action movie though. If you're a fan of this genre this is a must buy.
