I've not seen it in full (or I saw it when I was very young and can't remember anything from it) but he has one killer mullet in that film.
"Now take your big stick and you bohfriend and find a bess to catchg."
Edit: I randomly mouth that line to myself sometimes. With the same accent.
He does rock a mean wet look mullet.
For added effect, have this playing around you...
it was so important to the franchise.
Interesting, I found it well thought out and on point.
I’ve said for years that MI:3 was the emotional anchor of the series, and that it made Hunt a more three dimensional character.
I do agree that M:I 3 was a very important turning point in the series. It not only made Ethan more of a person than an archetype, but it also brought the series closer to the television show than it had been before, especially with the second film. I would argue that the Vatican sequence is the closest the entire M:I film series has gotten to emulating the feel of the original TV show. Even Michael Giacchino's use of "The Plot" musical theme brings it back to its root, as that music is the theme used in every episode of the show.
Bottom line (for me): M:I 3 is not perfect, but it was a course correction the series desperately needed after part 2. I guarantee that if M:I 3 had just copied part 2, there would be no M:I 4 through 8.
Well said…
I kind of wish NTTD, had ripped off the plotline of Bond being drafted back out of retirement to save someone he trained or worked with
MI2 isn't very good but much more entertaining for me than MI3.
Ethan Hunt also wasn't as well-realized as he was previously. In MI1 you got the sense that he was a rookie in way over his head, and in MI2 he was an experienced veteran who'd learned to kick back and enjoy life more. In MI3 Hunt seemed like he lost much of his personality. It's not clear where he is in his life or what's driving him. He's basically just become an action figure.
If anything was a course-correction I'd say it was Ghost Protocol.
Well it's certainly quite dull, so you may have a point ;) :D
I think the opening of the first film hits the feel pretty well, and is more interesting. In fact I think several of the more recent ones have done the 'heist' parts very effectively. 3 didn't do it for me, because they're not doing anything particularly clever.
MI3 is entertaining, but I don't like Abrams' visual style, because he shoots it like a documentary, plus a great deal of Giacchino's score sounds more like sound effects than music. I don't find the score melodic enough though.
Totally agreed. I don't like to consider things "guilty pleasures" - I like them or I don't - but it's certainly an underrated favorite of mine in the series and the one I returned to the most when I was growing up.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I absolutely love it as well. It could very well be the Mission Impossible film people rewatch the most, because it's all about switching off the brain and enjoying the visuals.
And yes, the MI2 score is excellent in parts. 'Injection' is an absolute classic, and although it's obviously very overblown, that moment where Nyah chooses to inject herself is a pretty effective big dramatic, high emotion moment.
Yeah i tried watching it the day that I was recovering from my vasectomy. Don't know what was worse, the film or the pain from getting my testicles snipped.
