Mission Impossible 3
When JJ Abrams sat in the director's chair for Mission: Impossible III we couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation. Fortunately, this tingling sensation was not one of those that require penicillin to cure and it is instead JJ Abrams who may have brought the cure to an entire film franchise.
According to the first report (we have seen) for M:i:III, the film is the cat's pajamas.
M:I:3 Reviewed
The good people over at AICN have recently put up their review of Mission: Impossible III. Not only do they love the film in all its glory but they go on to reign it king of the spy genre and, though I was troubled to picture it, verbally lay JJ Abrams.
Essentially – that’s the film. Only – it’s not a romantic comedy at its heart. There’s romance, but it’s a light overtone to the entire film. I’ve watched TRUE LIES a lot. And through all of that – the one thing that always kinda bugged me about the film is a lack of a strong villain… and how I wish it had been more intense, played more straight. I love the humor – but humor tends to be a valve to release tension – and had they not played it for laughs… Had scene after scene not been hit with jokes throughout… well, it would have been amazing. It would have been…
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3.
The review goes on to praise just about every actor and crew member from the film. JJ Abrams also gets tons of praise for his first feature film and there is even enough time to take a look back at the influences from James Cameron.
The cast has been warning us for months that Mission: Impossible III is going to kick off summer with a bang. I guess we should have believed them...
Check out the entire review for M:i:III over at AICN.
Mission: Impossible 3 comes to theatres on May 5th, 2006.
