OK now that Mission Impossible 3 is out it officially marks the beginning of the Summer Movie Season! First let me start off by saying You dont go to see Summer Action Movies for their incredible plot's, character development or even great acting. You go and see them because they are big and expensive, they are loud and the special effects are more realistic every year.

MI3 is a Big-Expensive-Loud-Summer-Hollywood-Explosionfest.

There is no getting around that. It's the Summer, Tom Cruise is in it, and it's Mission Impossible. Everything about this movie is explosive and loud. But underneath all the wonderful bangs and booms, this movie actually has what I didnt go there to see nor expect, A wonderfully well written plot!

Tom Cruise returns again as Ethan Hunt an IMF agent in the third installment of Mission Impossible. The Newly Engaged Ethan Hunt must return to work after a long what should have been permanent vacation, to rescue a former team member Lindsey Ferris (Keri Russell) who has been taken hostage by Owen Davian who is played by Capote himself Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Let me stop right here and say that Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of the most hated villains I have ever seen in any movie. I can only compare his performance to 3 other characters in movie history. Commadus (Jaoquin Phoenix) in Gladiator, Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper) in Speed and The Terrorist in United 93. You hate him, you hate him, you yell at the screen in vile anger, you wait for him to get his, he is the devil in the purest of forms.

They call Owen Davian the Invisible Man, know one knows where he is, they just know he is always up to something. The only goal he has in mind is his own well being, and he does not care who he has to stop to get his way. He is resistant to trade and negotiation...Sound Familiar?

2 Corinthians 4:4 (The Message)

...They think he can give them what they want, and that they won't have to bother believing a Truth they can't see...

Just like Owen Davian, Satan is always up to no good and willing to use anybody to get his way. We just have to be on guard, and wait for him to finally get his...

To sum it up this movie is a definite summer action thriller. There are plenty of scenes of explosions, guns, and Tom Cruise hanging from ropes. The movie is intense, brilliantly action packed with scenes that make guys say coooool!, An exciting way to start off the Summer Movie Season.
