Indistinguishable but for one vital element: Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Newsweek

...this snappy installment is a marked improvement over John Woo's surprisingly dull sequel, though the set pieces lack the elegance and visual coherence of the Brian de Palma original.

Time Out

There are plentiful perilous countdowns, most of the set-pieces are impressively mounted and, in its own silly way, the pay-off offers a glancing blow at US foreign policy. Relatable? No. But quite fun.

Deep Focus Review

What I admire about and why I enjoy returning to Abrams’ sequel is the momentum and emotional immediacy of the plot.

Rated: 3.5/4

Gone With The Twins

Regardless of the minutes eaten up by littler details (and the illogicality of the geography jumps and the convenient gadgets), the focus on nonstop action and suspense is exceptional.

Rated: 8/10

'Mission: Impossible III' is a 100% J.J. Abrams film with all the (very) positive and the (little) negative that this implies, of course. [Full Review in Spanish]

73%. 7/7/24. Philip Seymour Hoffman is great as the antagonist. This one is about them going after Philip's character and arresting him for a short time and him threatening Tom's life when he's captured and then escaping and capturing his wife for revenge while also seeking some device that could destroy the world. This one is better than your second, pretty typical MI movie with good action. 2.5/5 rewatch.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This is definitely one of my favorite movies!!! And my favorite out of the series so far!!! After the second movie I thought the series was at a low point…wrong! The opening scene snatched my attention! And the whole movie kept me on my toes! This may be a little extreme, but the day after I watched it I watched it three more times just to re-live it! You should definitely watch this one! And even if you haven’t seen the first two movies you could still follow this plot! Seriously grab your friends and watch this for a movie night because there will never be a moment that you want to do something else!
