Mission Impossible? Apparently not for Tom Cruise. Laura and I went to see this on opening night. The theater was packed. After seeing Mission Impossible 1 and 2, I was a little disappointed in number 3.

There was the usual special effects, special equipment that only IMF agents, Bond, or other Hollywood superheroes can obtain, lots of stunts, and edge-of-the-seat action, but in this one, there was an added, unusual element - agent is in committed relationship. Unlike Bond, who manages just find with his flings each movie, Ethan (Cruise's character) is only interested in his fiancee. Of course, the bad guys get a hold of her and Ethan comes to the rescue... maybe.

Tom looks as if this should be his last mission. He doesn't have that youthful vitality as seen in other flicks; he even plays an older, settling down version of his character. If the producers are going to attempt to carry this on like the James Bond flicks, thy need to replace Cruise soon, with other convincing IMF agents.

Overall, the flick was a good night out but not worth the price tag of contemporary movie theaters on opening night; this movie is suited for a cheap date at a matinee or better yet, wait until it comes to the $1/$2 cinemas.
