Plot:
Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) is trying to retire from the mission impossible force so he can settle down and get married to a nurse named Julia. Of course, when they are having a wedding shower (or just a get together), he gets a message that he should go to the convenience store. When he gets to the convenience store, he finds out that an agent that he trained years ago has been captured and he can get her out, if he just does this mission. What the agent was looking into was a guy named Owen Davian. This guy has some pretty bad things going on but the plot thickens, as always. Can Ethan and his team do some impossible stunts to get what they need to save Ethan and his lovely Julia?
Criteria:
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around – characters, music, theme, storyline, etc.
2.5/5 - So far of the three Mission: Impossible movies, this is the worst for plotline. Even the second movie had better plot, though I was interested in the idea of trying to be attached to an agent from the mission impossible force while dealing with the consequences of the life. The female agent that Ethan joined up with was definitely cute and I loved to see Luther (played by Ving Rhames) again. Aside Luther and Ethan teaming up again and them saving Ethan's gal Julia, it was not very good. Interesting but not really worth the time. The missions were very lame and unrealistic, in my view, but that's cinema for you.
In my opinion, the Mission: Impossible movies are just getting worse. I wonder if Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation are going to be nearly worthless also?
